Yo.

Hellooo, this is Tae.

Opening day for my ART SHOP was on Monday, August 19. Woo!

I'm here because I love to draw. Yes, I drew that one over there ->.
I'm not on Gaia to get rich. I'm here to make lots of narcissistic arts for myself
draw your stuff!

I'm willing to tackle almost any commission:
people
simple avatars
not-nearly-so-simple avatars
original characters
mecha
anthro
animals
et cetera
If I've never done it before, I guess I'll learn how.
I can also copy almost any style within my skill level. It's fun.

These're my asking prices.
Chibis/headshots/busts are the low figure.
Half-figures or very simple figures are the middle figure.
Full figures and other complex things are the high figure.
Don't worry too much, we'll talk. C:

Pencil sketch - This is my special deal for users on a budget because it's so quick, easy, and fun (And really, they're pretty cute) ~25k
Finished lineart (pencil or digital) - It's a smooth, clean linework with a lot of love, spit and polish put into it. Okay, maybe just love and polish. No spit. - 50k
Colored pencil - This is the quickest method of coloring that I can do, and the result is a nice, soft cel-shading look. - 75k
Cel-shading - Digital coloring takes some time for me (mostly because I end up drawing the linework twice), but I can gurantee the clarity and neatness of the finished product. My perfectionism is on your side! - 100k
Fancier - This is an additive to Cel-shading, and makes it prettier, softer, glowier, shinier, etc., and it takes the most time. But it's really cool. BRIBE

If you're not that rich yet, PM me, and I'll tell you what I used to charge.

For just about every example ever, scroll down to the bottom of this section, or go and check out my deviantART account (my sketches and some pencil drawings are likely in my 'Scrapbook' section, not my Gallery).

So send me a PM and we'll chat!
These are things I'll need to know, so please tell me:
SUBJECT: Who/what you want drawn (and how many, how much, etc.). If it's a specific character, references or character sheets can be super helpful, though I really don't mind working from scratch or text descriptions.
CHARACTERISTICS: Personalities/characteristics/mood of the subject you are commissioning me to draw. This is really crucial to include if you do have something in mind!
Alternatively, you could also tell me what you'd like the subject to be doing.
STYLE: Tell me any style preferences you may have (more anime/toony, more realistic, somewhere in-between, chibi, etc.), and which rendering method you might prefer. You could pick something listed above, or if you saw something else you liked on my deviantART gallery, you could ask for that. I'm also fairly skilled at imitating other styles as well, with a reference.
(Sometimes, the more you can think of to tell me, the more likely I'll finish the commission quickly and easily. If you can't think of much, don't worry, and I'll do my best to do something cool.)


RULES!
-I may take items instead of gold payment. It can't hurt to ask.
- I'm not a big yaoi/yuri fangirl, but I don't hate it. It can't hurt to ask.
- I'm not comfotable drawing much beyond a casual kiss, regardless of the couple.
- I reserve the right to decline commissions at my own discretion at any time, with a full refund back to you.
- BE PATIENT!! I mean... Please? I may have finally graduated college, but that just means I've got a whole new set of problems to deal with, so it might take a while to finish a fancy-colored commission.
I do not take commissions when I know I won't be able to finish in a reasonable amount of time.
Under ideal circumstances, I should be able to finish just about anything within a week or two. Under bad circumstances, it might take twice that long. So I ask for a willingness to be patient for that.

Also note that, if everything goes right, I can finish a decent pencil drawing or sketch in about an hour's work time. See Screaming Electron's picture.
Just thought you might wanna know.
