Beginning of May

Oooooooooooh, a fellow Taurus!  Is she the ninth, by chance?

[KatieHal]

Nope, the 7th.

[Haids1987]

Aw man, we were almost twins for like a second.    But still a Taurus baby! *Hooves the ground* Grrrrr!

Ahem...now back to your regularly scheduled posting...

Beginning of May--how long does a non-digital picture take? Since I'd have to factor in shipping time as well

I'm Taurian too My birthday is on 18th of May ^^

First- are you just wanting the character standing there in a basic pose? OR are you wanting a scene?

[KatieHal]

Hm...I was thinking more of a pose. What would the difference between the two be? (in case a cool scene comes to me)

[Arkillian]

Well, if I have to design a background, I also need to have her interacting with it, so a simple background may just be a colour wash / gradient / pattern. A complex background is also like those Art Nouveau designs. I think I'm doing the Character portraits around $15, but those are based on digital finishes cause most that buy them don't want to spend alot- they just want a visual referance of the character. This is for a static/mundane pose

Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):

Here's a sort of example I did of a lineart. The final product will be coloured (I didn't get around to colouring this one as the DND campaign finished.) The theory is, I'll email a high res which you can print off. If you want an original, then it'd be a different set of pricing.

Urgh- complicated T.T

Arkillian, out of curiosity, why do you always spoiler-text your images?

Habit from other forums firstly (it's a courtesy thing to stop spam- the other ), but also cause the spoiler stuff is off topic. I don't do it to KQ or TSL fanart If I do it for TSL or KQ art here it's probably to not distract people.

Art etiquette basically.

[kindofdoon]

Ok, makes sense.

[Arkillian]

Sorry- I realised that I didn't finish a sentance there cause I got distracted

"it's a courtesy thing to stop spam- the other forums I'm on don't auto expand spoiler tags so it's a tidier way of not cluttering up an image heavy thread.

Oh, also I think that you don't load the image since it's not viewable. I may be wrong with that.

No, it still loads, at least it does here. But it does make the thread look neater, which is cool.

[Arkillian]

Yeah I missed that one. It makes it cleaner too. Sorry- a little drunk right now. Nothing creative to say T.T

[Haids1987]

Yay for drunk foruming! *High fives again*

OK, so my friend isn't responding to me about how much I should charge for an A5 copic picture so I'm going to say $35USD including freight which is basically $30 USD + paypal taking their ticket and reimbursement for freight. I'll see how that goes for now. A5 isn't a huge piece of card though so the backgrounds are forced to not be complicated so it should all be good. I think that's fair  That's like... 1 or 2 people's worth of room or something.

Any takers? I could lower the price to $30USD if you want a monochrome (warm grey only) That saves me having to do colour choice

[Haids1987]

$35 total for an Arkillian original?  I'd take it.

[Arkillian]

Sweet. I sent you a PM about it
