Commissions? (on entering the wild world of debt)

Fri Nov 20, 2009, 1:58 PM
So next semester I'm actually going to a real college that costs real money and, basically, I'm sorta fucked. I've just recently opened a bank account (current balance: three moths, a piece of lint, two bottle caps and a really shiny nickel) and therefore get a debit card in a little while, yet another fantastic way to drain myself of mad cash.

This isn't just to bitch, though, because I'm not the bitchin' type: the one advantage to all of this is I can open a paypal account, which means that if I provide some sort of service that the world appreciates, they can send me money.

So, basically, here's what I'm asking: If I started doing seriously cheap commissions, would anyone actually want one? Keep in mind that I work pretty fast most of the time, and when I say "seriously cheap" I mean seriously cheap.

Examples of my style friggin' abound, so you can decide pretty easily whether you think I'm a crap artist or not. Also keep in mind that I will at very least try to draw you anything you want.

Price would depend primarily on the content of the picture, obviously you can get something such as a sketch or a bust for the $2-$3 range whereas something with multiple people or serious dynamic posing would cost more-- if you're actually interested, tell me what you're looking for and I'd tell you what it would cost. Anything that I find extremely disturbing or creepy, I'll still try to draw, on account of being a whore, but probably it will cost a little bit more.

SO PLEASE, I NEED YOUR DOLLARS TO BUY BREAD FOR MY FAMILY

I enjoy cherry pie, folding fans, the portion of the wrist that connects immediately to the hand, the word "epidermis", most forms of cephalopods and outdated software.

Hit me up for an art trade sometime; I'm usually cool for them.

Thanks for the favourite(s) [INSERT DEVIANT USERNAME HERE]!

I act like that was an automated response but I don't get NEARLY enough favourites to do something like that! I pretend not to care but every DA message makes me WEEP TEARS OF LIQUID JOY. Thankyou for the favourites once again, you sexy beast you! <3
:iconcarrieexmachina:
Hahaha, that's kind of sad-- your art is really cool :)

Thankyou! And I just love replying to favourites with something other than the basic "ty for the fav". Because I am extremely asinine like that.
:iconcarrieexmachina:
If that's asinine, you can call me a donkey and cart me off to the glue factory.

.... Yeah, that one didn't work too well. I would like to issue a formal apology to the world for that metaphor. It will be promptly drug out into the street and shot.

Haha no it was clever! As much as I am a fan of dragging ANYTHING into the street and executing it, MIGHT YOU DESIST IN THIS CRETINOUS KILLING. Let us instead go and fight medieval knights in the sky. AS IS CUSTOM HERE IN ENGLAND.
