Hey guys Long time, no art, yeah?

I've been busting my hump to get finished with school (only one more semester after this! ) so commissions have had to take a backseat to that. Also, with all the stress and lack of free/personal time, I've been totally uninspired to even pick up a pencil, unfortunately :

But! There's good news! This week (May 4-8) is finals week, and after that, I'm home free! Well, sort of I'll be working all summer, but since students won't be in town, we shouldn't be too terribly busy, which means: MORE ART FOR YOU!

I'm compiling a list of my current commissioners and people who have posed commission questions (across all of my art sites this time...I need a better way to organize this stuff ) This is in no way a list of people who ARE DEFINITELY commissioning me, this is more a chance for me to keep up with people who are interested I'm not going to have a set number of slots this time. Rather, I'd like to just kind of feel it out and see what happens. It doesn't seem like I'll be too terribly swamped with actual commissions, so this may actually work out better.

SO! If you're interested, feel free to note me, e-mail me, or just reply here if I missed you on my commissions list or if you're interested in one, in which case, I'll add you

THE LIST:

* Fluffdance from FA - Chubby Kiara and Kovu - Background and coloring!
* - Three separate images - Planning
* - Romantic image - Planning
* - Our characters together - Planning/sketching

It...doesn't really feel like I got everyone in the list, so if you sent me commission info or are waiting to hear back from me, POKE THE CRAP OUTTA ME GUYS. I'm so ridiculously forgetful.

Anyway, you know I love you

I am still open for smaller commissions (icons, sketches, etc), even though the slots are filled

***********************************************************

PRICES:

Sketch : $3
Inked : $7
Colored, Shaded (No Background): $10
Character + Background: $15
Additional Characters: $3 each
Traditionally Colored Character (Prismacolor Colored Pencils): $15 + Shipping (if you want it shipped)
Icons: $5
Anything else: Just ask!

* Furthermore, you get to choose the style! If any of my pictures in this gallery grab your eye in particular, I'd be more than happy to replicate the style for you

* Traditional art may be requested, prices are definitely negotiable since I have to consider shipping costs and whatnot. I promise I won't make it ridiculous!

COMMUNICATION:

Paypal: xcourtkneex@gmail.com

Email: xcourtkneex@gmail.com

MSN: xcourtkneex@hotmail.com

AIM: do0bz

You may also feel free to note me here. I would prefer something more tangible than a comment on this journal, so email will probably work best.

***********************************************************

OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF:

* Please keep in mind that, while I can draw other things, I'm best at animals, realistic or otherwise. Human characters may take a little more time and effort than cute fluffies, but I am definitely willing to do them.

* I like to keep in touch! If you're concerned about your commission or its status, let me know! I'm a very nice person. I intend to have all sketches approved, and to update everyone on the status of their art anyway.

* Once I get this done, I may take on more, so don't be afraid to express interest even if these spaces are filled!

   1. (Pending)

If I forgot to cover anything really important, let me know

I'm so glad that people are taking an interest in these - Thanks so much guys!

Okay, I decided. I'm trying it. I'm trying it both to improve, and perhaps to gain a little something for myself in the process. Here's the deal - suggestions are welcome, but may or may not be noted. If I absolutely can NOT think of anything for a specific number, your suggestion may as well be gold to me. OR if I come up with something but it sucks, again, suggestions would be much appreciated.

Something to consider: If you want a commission from me, here's your chance. You may have noticed that I am no longer subscribed. This is because I am poor. If you'd be willing to donate a couple of months of dA subscriptioney goodness to me, I'd be willing to draw you something. Simple as that. One month will get you a sketch or something simple, three months will get you something bigger. Furthermore, if you want a commission based on one of the 100 themes, HELL, THAT'S EVEN BETTER

Anyways, on to the themes!

.............................................................................................

100 Themes meme.

The point of this challenge is to test and improve your skill as an artist. After 100 pics who wouldn’t be better.

The basic rules

1.) Make 100 art entries, each pic having a theme listed below. Each pic should have ONE and only ONE theme to it, for it to count.

2.) No time limit so have fun

3.) The main picture should be drawn by you, or involve photos taken by you for the purpose of this challenge. No old art! It should all be newly made for this meme!

4.) Pics should be your own. You may not edit photos, or break any other rules set out in the DA etiquette policy. Your pics can be anything from sketches and doodles to great master pieces. Just have fun with it.

5.) The list below is to be placed somewhere in your journal for others to see that......
A.)You are in the challenge
B.)What you have completed

6.) make sure to update this list and check off what is done and make a link to the pic

7.) In the title/info for your artwork, note if it is part of the list and what one theme it is.

In the works:

Finishing contest prize for (I swear >_>)

Working on commission for

Chibis are in the works...I just have to double-check who I owe them to

XOMG FREE SUBSCRIPTION *PEESPANTS* even though it's only a week's worth, i think it's really odd that this came up...since i was seriously contemplating getting one earlier today...i was just wishing i could test it out and see if it's worth the money...WELL DEVIANTART, WE SHALL SEE, YES.

*goes to play*

copied n pasted from 's journal:

Please bear with me through this. As I'm wading through people who proudly display the title "bitch" as if it is something to be proud of, a government who apparently thinks that labeling tomatoes as a fruit or a vegetable is a demanding and important matter, and those who get a high off of making others feel like crap, I must say that I'm disappointed in humanity. On the other hand, people who claim to hate...people and think they should all be shot, well, they just creep me out. I have and will always have faith in humans as individuals; it's culture that I place the bulk of the blame upon. I definitely laugh at the statement that all people are naturally evil, and tend to follow Levi-Straussian/"Gods Must Be Crazy" notions that possessions breed greed and needs.

I've tried to stick up for the underdog, and probably will continue attempting to do so, but rather than get ticked at people who are less than nice, I've decided to start a "reward system". This means I'll be watching yoooou! Haha, no really. I'll be on the look out for nice people and will randomly draw them things and link to their site. I don't care if you have 10 pageviews or 100,000,000,000, are a cartoonist or a photographer, or are 10 or 100, all you have to be is nice (or seemingly nice in the case of the Internet). If you know someone who you think is an exceptionally kind person, please send me a private note with the title "R.S. Suggestion" with a link to their gallery and a reason or reasons why you chose them. Also let me know if you want to remain anonymous or be listed in the description as having requested the artist. Thank you.
