Question of importance.
Dec. 5th, 2007 02:21 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I mentioned I have no tablet at the moment, which has the obvious consequence of there being no piccage*. So. I have the following problem: I need to purchase a Wacom tablet (haven't decided on the specifics yet), but have no money. The solution I had in mind is such: I can offer express commissions. This means I will be offering coloured sketches (I will have examples ready later today, tomorrow at the latest example below), at $10 (up to two characters with minimal background).
Question #1 is: would anyone be willing to support a poor artist?
Question #2 (this for the artist types): is it better to get an Intuos3 A6, or Graphire A5 (my old tablet is A5)? Opinion? Anyone?
* Long story short: my old tablet + a Mac = hardware error. Since I'm temporarily at home, I have the option of connecting it to a PC which does have Photoshop. The problem is, I am not sure about how long will I be home (though I won't be leaving any sooner than August), so it is important that I have a tablet that works. For me. And, I'm hoping, for you too.

info:
For everyone interested: email me at jhkrupa [at] gmail [dot] com with details.
Most of you know what I do (if you don't, see posts with the "art" tags). Additionally, I have confidence that I can do a good sketch of just about anything (although obviously live action fandoms require a little leeway) so do not feel limited to my usual fandoms/pairings.
edit:
As I mentioned, I did manage to aquire a new tablet, but it's not fully paid off yet. Meaning, the commissions are still open, but I'm not taking any more requests at the moment. Once I'm finished with the ones I accepted so far, I will take on an extra batch, I don't know how many. A few people made reservations already, yay! I will post an announcement then.
My managing skills... XD Okay. These are people who sent me emails and received a confirmation:

Date: 2007-07-05 03:38 pm (UTC)I would be up for a commission, if you'd be willing to do it for me. Let me know ASAP whether or not you'd want to do it, so I can tell you the scene that I have in my mind. It's a good one. *winks at you*
Ten dollars is a good fetching price for it too. ^______^ Just get back to me! *hugs*

Date: 2007-07-07 03:46 pm (UTC)cruel fairytales has sold 1 copy!
If you want to do any sketches for the other patterns at the same deal (1/2) I'm more than happy
also I was wondering if I could commission a banner for Seraphim Knits
something with an angel knitting, but a me angel, so halo skew wiffy, cup of coffee, tongue out of corner of mouth - a chibi in black and white
let me know how much
I'll do a pimp for you
but grab me online for I have a cunning plan, mwa ha ha ha ha ha
no subject
Date: 2007-07-07 08:49 pm (UTC)Yeah, I can do that - depending on how elaborate you want the picture to be, but from what you said ~$10.
Thanks for pimping!

Date: 2007-07-07 04:04 pm (UTC)Let me know if that's okay, then I'll email you with details of the commission.

Date: 2007-09-12 12:29 am (UTC)more or less I'm running around collecting the names of people who might be interested to put up as an option
and i wanted to know if you want to play
I need to know any restrictions you might have and how much you would charge for a full piece
if you don't want to - let me know
