Stress sketches, anatomy not included.

Started with apple who isn’t too bad.. the rest are kinda crud with varying proportion distributions. I am not the best at outfit design right now zzzzz.

Very nerve wracking time irl right now. Bluh.

HHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……..

Hey, I’ll try to answer as best as I can.

To be honest VERY VERY few of our normal prints sold. We had much better luck with the smaller things, keychains, bookmarks, and just little chibi things. We didn’t make as many of the silly laminated chibis (I thought they were kind of pointless) or cards (insane amount of work..) and they ended up mostly selling out when we only had a handful of any given item. The Dave print in question was the only one we had that sold all that well (and a madoka item or two) and I think I had between 5-7 of them? (Though now we know selling homestuck is a nono.) Most of our smaller prints really weren’t selling.

This probably isn’t very specific but uhh.. don’t go overboard on the straight up prints unless you think it’s something very popular and going to appeal to a lot of people for whatever reason (I’m really no one to ask about levels of popularity on things.) Some of the only prints we sold were the 11x17s, and you have to make sure people can see them. Many people were on the fence just seeing the preview in our book, but when we held up the large size they tended to go for it more often.

If you have cheaper trinkets to sell along with prints I’d definitely make more because people are more likely to spend cash on little things I think, anyway.  I really don’t know how much to say though D: Sorry.

Another thing that helped us I think was that we had a lot of very colourful small things on display? Haha idunno people wandered over attracted by bright things and then there’s a higher chance of them taking a second look.

Wow this is really long and rambly but hopefully it helps at least a bit?

Sigh, wish we would be able to attend this year. :< Life kinda shat all over me though lol…

Speed (haha) paint experimentation… I like it. :)

Commission for the wonderful theplanpony of her characters from A Bottle of Spirits.

Not entirely happy with it because I’m terribly picky and the lighting is pretty bleh but.. ehhh yay? *hopes she likes it oh gosh*

And thank you very much to Maki and Mamo for the teensy background pictures~~

Happy Birthday to my friend Aly!

Sorry your parcel won’t make it in time. ;.; But I hope you like this picture and it makes up for the fact. At least I am presenting SOMETHING on time. :D

Hope you have a fun weekend filled with birthday follies and all that!

Thank youuuu <333 this is lovely~~

Pointless post! Just wanted to show off some cookies I made, cuz they took a long time and some friends wanted to see pictures lol. Was my first time doing anything like it and it came out well enough, despite some misshaps with the red chocolate which ended up with some cruddy looking lumps in there as a result. Oh well. Dx

Oh I guess I never posted this… My best copic picture to date I think.. I don’t get enough motivation to play around with them enough for myself bleh… for a friend’s birthday. Scan is poo compared to the colours in real life and it especially ruined the shading on the skin. -.-;

I am well aware that I am not popular or talented enough to really be able to make money off of commissions, but my job hours have recently been cut so much as I won’t be able to support myself anymore on it and job prospects are shaky for a new full time job, or a complementing part time in time to not lose a shitton of my savings. I just thought I’d offer some cheap options if anyone’s interested, to help afford food n stuff, lol.

Won’t do:

• Porn or gore or anything too R rated.. Mild pairing pictures are okay n all.
• Full on anthros or mechs… there are better artists out there for this. I suck at these things. 

If you’re interested:

• I work fast so unless I somehow get a big response to this, it shouldn’t take me long. I’ve had commissions not get back to me and it sucks! I won’t let it happen.
• Note me on here and we can move on to communication via email.
• Have a visual reference, please.
• I take payment by paypal in CAD or USD.
