Most of my pre-DD watchers probably know all about me and my relationship with ~Water-Blade.  And if you didn't, it's okay, I mean, he's only the kid I've been in love with for years.  The problem is, he's on the other side of the country.
One of my IRL friends is going to California where Water lives, and it turns out that where she's staying is literately ONLY A FEW BLOCKS away from my sweetheart's street.  So my friend has invited me along.

Now all I need is money!

We're leaving in June, and if we order the tickets ASAP, they won't be too much.  A little over 200 bucks.  But I'll also need money to kinda support myself while I'm down there so that I'm not too much of a burden on my friends.  So basically, I need quite a bit of money, in quite a short bit of time.  SO THAT'S WHY I NEED MONEY

THIS IS WHY I NEED YOU:

My prices are going to range from 5-30 dollars.  I'll start with the highest prices and what that implies (all USD obviously).  I'll be using my mom's Paypal account, and I'm pretty sure we don't own a PObox anymore.  but if ordering with paypal is a problem for you then maybe we can discuss a solution.

:star::star:  $30.00-

These kinds of drawings take me the longest and leave me the most tired after I do them, which is why they're worth 30.  I'll try to give you your money's worth, but if you're unsatisfied then, well, let's figure out something, okay?

Basically, they'll have your character in a spiffy detailed background.  Yes, you can be specific about the background (ie if you want a forest or a city kinda thing) and hopefully it won't be a background outside my ability level.  

:star::star:  $15.00 at least-

Okay, the deal with these ones is they would be of a character, which would be the focus of the drawing and have pretty decent shading and simple backgrounds.  They're fifteen dollars initially-- that's for the shaded character and simple background-- but if you want another character I'll charge you 5 bucks for each one you want to add.  So basically this can be as cheap as fifteen and.. I dunno as expensive as you want. XD  (PS:  the last example would be 15.00, not 20.00 becuase the second character is like, a scribble).

:star::star:  $10.00-

Drawings focused on your characters again, except the shading is pretty miminal and the backgrounds are simple or possibly barely existent.  Things in this price range are on the same amount of effort and style as my oekaki trades at SROA.  It'd probably be wise to tell me if you don't want me to style-experiment on your character if you order one of these, haha. (like I did with this one: [link])

:star:  Alternatively, I can do for you a comic strip!

Black and white or simple colours/shading, it's your choice. All you need to do is provide me with the character(s) you want in it, and a scene, or at least enough background information for me to invent one myself.  Since these are pretty simple and not terribly detailed, you don't have to worry about any additional charges after the ten dollars.

:star::star: $5.00-
[link] ?

Headshots.  I don't do a lot of these so I don't have a lot of examples of them, so it'd just be a basic headshot, simple shading (nothing more complex than this example) and about as large as any of these other pieces.    






So that's it.  All my commissions are digital and will most likely be done in oekaki.  So, no tangible mail for you.  I'm sorry, but I'm just too concerned with getting the money on time and traditional drawings would take me a lot longer than digital and I'd feel a need to up the prices.  So it's digital for now.  I hope I included everything.

Those of you who decide to take me up, thanks a lot, it really does mean a lot to me.  If any of you are able to spread the word around by featuring me in a journal, and get me a bit more coverage, that would be really appreciated too. My ability to go depends on you guys, and I love every single one of you who's able to help me out.

Thanks for your time. :heart:

Advertising yourself on SROA is an excellent idea. It attracts lurkers such as myself.

I'm currently torn between you and another person I know who does commissions. I'm limited when it comes to money, you see.
If I do decide to commission you, I'll note you.

In the meantime, I'll spread the word about you. If anyone deserves it, it's you, ms. Marvelous.

Good luck saving up!

Most of my success comes from SROA, haha.
And thanks, any notice of attention is good to me. :heart:

soo i'm just wondering, do you want your money before or after you draw the picture?

I figure a good process is that the person puts down a bit of a down payment, likes as much as you would pay for just a sketch before I start, and then I sketch your commission, and showit to you, and if you like it, I continue and you pay when I finish?

I just need to get the paypal link from my mom.

I'd be fine with five, but whatever you feel comfortable putting down. c:

I've come up with an idea for one, and I should have no problem paying for it, either. I'll talk to you about it on AIM in the next few days, I think. Just want to discuss the actual details and such, nyeh?

Hopefully, you'll have quite a few more, too. If I think of anyone else that would get one, I'll try and remind them, since you need the money.

Aww. I would totally commission and support you but I'm actually uh... in an eerily similar position right now. He's coming to visit me and I'm splitting the bus fare and hotel costs with him since we're both broke college students, haha. But best of luck!
