Y helo thar.

I know my profile sucks. Get over it. xD

Random friends requests will be ignored. Really now, why would you want to be my friend if we've never even spoken? (Random PMs - granted they have a purpose - make me happy, though.

) I'm a little reclusive but I do enjoy talking to people. :3

About Me

I am currently a college student seeking a B.S. in Chemistry and a B.A. in Japanese. My hobbies include drawing, origami, wacky Japanese video games, and hanging out on Gaia. :3 My favorite things about Gaia are zOMG and aquariums, I think.

I currently own the minishop Felicity Farms, although we've been on hiatus forever. College kind of sucks that way. I'm also planning on running an art contest with my friends when we get around to making good enough reference sheets.

And while I'm plugging things, I might as well mention my guild, The Origami Guild (also ridiculously inactive), and my friend's guild, The Crystallia Studios Guild.

My Fish

My life is slowly being taken over by four bettas (Siamese fighting fish).

...Why am I kidding myself? I have no life anymore. Sigh.

My current fish are named Jack, Gerard, Rico, and Oliver.

RIP Apollo and Ghost.

To learn more about my little jackasses and what an idiot I am, visit my journal.

For those interested in my art or commissions

I am currently doing two relatively detailed commissions for someone, so I am unavailable to do artwork for anyone else. Any outside commission requests will be respectfully declined. Thank you. :3

------------------

I don't have an official art shop, but I do take commissions on the side. If you would like to see samples of my work, please visit my DA page. If you are interested in commissioning me, just drop me a PM on Gaia or a note on DA. I check both very frequently. :3

My prices vary depending on the type of work involved, but I would consider myself somewhat open to negotiation depending on how heavy my schoolwork is and how bored I am. A rough estimate of my rates is below. If you would rather commission me with real money, please see my DA commissions page.

Edit: A couple people have PMed me and asked me why I price my art the way that I do. It's just what I feel comfortable with, since it's not my goal to be constantly cranking out commissions anymore. I'm okay with receiving one or two commission requests in a year - just to let you know where I'm coming from.

- Simpsons-style Headshot - 20k

- Chibi Pencil Sketch - 10-20k

- Chibi Pencil Sketch with Flat Colors - 25-40k

- Full Color Chibi - 150-250k

- Waist-up Pencil Sketch - 30-50k

- Waist-up Pencil Sketch with Flat Colors - 60-100k

- Headshot Full CG - 200k-300k

- Waist-up Full CG - 500k-750k

- Waist Up Lineless Coloring - 1000k and up - this takes me a ridiculous amount of time to do.

Experimental Watercolor Dealio
I'd like to get some more practice doing watercolors. Let me know if you're interested and I'll take a significant portion out of the cost a commission. I haven't tried coloring people yet so you'd essentially be my guinea pig, which is why this is a lot cheaper than normal.

I do not do full bodies or more than one person unless you fling ridiculous amounts of gold at me (eg. multiple millions). I just don't have the time. D:

belated merry akahomas to you~ :'D
Shiro Nishida 12/20/2008 11:14 am: I'm doing good! thanks for asking! :'D

I mean, occasionally I lose consciousness but thankfully that happens when I'm not at work. I hear some people call it "sleeping", but I'm down with large cups of coffee to keep me going strong all night long! XD

Also, I'm no longer on any hiatus. check G.A.S.O.C. to see why, if you want. :'D

So do tell, how are YOU these days?
