Question of importance.

[keire_ke]

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.

I'd love to commission you. Are there any limits on the pairings/ fandoms you'll draw?

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

^______^

No, no limits. I have faith in my ability to sketch most anything (although I will ask for reference and a little leeway in the case of live action fandoms).

[michalyn.livejournal.com]

Yay, great! I have no live action fandoms so no worries there. Should I email you then?

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Yes please. My email is at jhkrupa [at] gmail [dot] com

[merith.livejournal.com]

sign me up for some pictures! i'm good for five - if you don't mind me using them as gift certificates :)

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ^______^ It'll be great. I listed my email in the post along with an example of what I've been thinking of.

[merula31]

*waves hand* Totally willing to support the artist!

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You have my email and also I added an example piccy to the post.

[eyesofshinigami.livejournal.com]

Hells yeah! I wouldn't mind supporting a fellow fangirl in her time of need!

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*

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Yay! I added my email and an example to the post - you've got me really curious. :D

Thank you! Also: your icon killed me with cute. I am not kidding. Goku with glasses!!!

[eyesofshinigami.livejournal.com]

Isn't it adorable? It was from RFB's post a while back that had some pictures from Vol 8 of Reload. I'll send them the email regarding the commission. ^_____^

I still have your email from when you emailed me a while back. o____O Sending it now! <3

[spellhorn.livejournal.com]

You're one of the two people I would be willing to get a commision from online o ya, totally willing to support.

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

^_____^ Thank you very much! *huggles* My email is listed in the post now + an example of a piccy.

[jilltanith.livejournal.com]

Pay how? I don't have PayPal . . .

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I think PayPal might be the only option from my end (me being in Poland). But I would be willing to work something out, later on.

[corazon-d-fuego.livejournal.com]

I think I might have something for you, but I can't tell you yet because it's a secret project! :X

I'll be back if everything works out.

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

^_____^ Email me when it does. I'll be happy to help.

[tsuki-bug.livejournal.com]

Definitely count me in = ) I'll have to get back to you on ideas, though.

Going to pimp this in my journal, if you'd like?

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Please email me directly when you have ideas. *hugs* Thanks! And yes please, pimp it out.

[tsuki-bug.livejournal.com]

Okay, will do = )

[swlover.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm...get a great piece of art and help enable keire_ke post some more piccage...seems like a no brainer to me. Sure, I'll support you! Just be warned, I have ulterior motives (see: "more piccage" part above). XD

I'll e-mail you tomorrow morning with the specifics.

:)

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

:D I was counting on people's ulterior motivations, I admit. :P

^_______^ Thanks!

[seraphim-grace.livejournal.com]

From one poor fangirl to another I have one payment about to go to you, but i need your paypal address to send it
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

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

My PayPal address is my gmail account (listed in this post). Yay! Congratulations! Yes, I do want to - I have two more sketches ready to be scanned. I'll be sending them ASAP.

Yeah, I can do that - depending on how elaborate you want the picture to be, but from what you said ~$10.

Thanks for pimping!

[clueless-psycho.livejournal.com]

seraphim_grace told me all about this, and since I don't have paypal, I'll send the money to her and she'll pay you via paypal. So consider you have a commission from me *smiles*

Let me know if that's okay, then I'll email you with details of the commission.

*hugs*

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Please email me, I have a bit of a queue (already!) but email makes it official and you get onto a list. ^______^

[driley1.livejournal.com]

Here via gundam_herald, but I was wondering if you'd be willing to do something non-gundamy... like Roy (see icon) and Marth? ^_^;;

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Yes, any fandom is okay with me. However, since I don't know many, you'd have to provide me with a reference (pics you particularly like).

[yanagi-wa.livejournal.com]

I'd like one, or two. I'll send you description upon acceptance.

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Yay! Yes, please email me.

[yanagi-wa.livejournal.com]

I'll email you with descriptions as soon as I cna decide what I want.

[clarediva.livejournal.com]

yes please!!!!!!!
That's a lovely example you posted, too, I love your work, I'm thrilled there's a chance now to say 'hi' and ask for a GW commission or two! I hope there's still room for my request(s) *lol* - I'll email you later about them!!!
^___^

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

^______^ I'm pleased to hear that. I'm still working out how to manage the requests, but there definitely is a space with your name on it. *grins*

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

I hope I'm not too late with this, but I'd love to commission you, hun. Not sure what I want yet though, so let me have a think while you do everyone else's ^_~!

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Nope, not too late. Don't worry though, there's no rush, I still have several pictures to do, so take your time! *huggles*

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

I think I'd like something original, a Keiran creation... what do you think?

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

I can certainly work with that. *nods* Would you like something like a scene, a character sketch, girls boys, sci-fi, fantasy-ish?

... Come to think of it, an idea is forming already. XD

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

... Come to think of it, an idea is forming already. XD

Then run with it, hun! You'll have to let me know how to pay you.

[seraphim-grace.livejournal.com]

honey, you know I'm doing the weiss_novella competition, well I need some artists who are available around february

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

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Around February shouldn't be a problem at all. So yeah, sign me up!

I don't do explicit stuff, that's pretty much it. Unless I'm forgetting something. *thinks*

[seraphim-grace.livejournal.com]

every artist has their own restrictions, i know that, and i wouldn't push it, you know that

[michalyn.livejournal.com]

*pokes in* Can I get on the waitlist for whenever you're taking commissions again (at any price)?

Thanks!

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

^_____^ Sure. I'm bad at the managing business, so I'll probably never get around to posting a proper notice. I'm really busy at the moment though, but I'll probably have some time in June, if that's okay with you.

[michalyn.livejournal.com]

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I've been drowning in school stuff lately. Great! Just let me know when you're free.
