August 2008 - SELLING MERCH + STUFF + COMMISSH

Journal Entry: Mon Aug 25, 2008, 11:05 AM
EDIT 08/18/08: Some hardware in my personal computer fried, and it's in the shop now. I'm now using my mother's occassionally to get on, so you'll be able to communicate with me just not as often. Also, thusly, all commissions (luckily, they are traditional media!) will be uploaded on or before August 31st (when I move back into school and have scanner access again). :OTLplz:
On the good side, my tuition has been settled through a relative, but the selling offers will be open at least until the 25th in case someone still wanted something and just didn't tell me yet.



To help fund college, I'm selling off my extra stock of convention merchandise and random items from my collections. I'm also taking donations and commissions - just scroll down. Drop me a note or a comment if you're interested in anything you see here..

ALL OFFERS CLOSE AUGUST 25th!

*** Plugs are just as appreciated as commissions. T_T ***

I will also sign prints upon request, free of charge. :)

Shipping is done based on your largest item:
16"x24" Poster - $7 US, $10 International

:heart: It's about time I got off my ass and announced the winners of my contest. :D Again, thank you everyone for participating. Haha, I now have a billion reference images thanks to you - and a much better image of my own character. As for judging criteria, I talked it over with ~kheleksul and it became half artistic merit and half character portrayal. I also jacked up the prizes a little. :D And now, without further ado...

First, I'd like to start off with some honorable mentions. Each one of these struck my fancy for a different reason. You each get to pick one of the following: a) digital sketch commission, b) any letter-sized print from my gallery, c) a 1-month DeviantART subscription or d) cash equivalent.


:iconsemiramis: had an amazing armor design! I was blown away by how fitting it was, and I loved the color scheme. I liked how you took the more earthy tones and aspect of his personality into consideration. I like the chestplate and huge pauldrons a lot. :D


:iconsolinhild: must know I have a weakness for well done traditional media. I really like his face in this picture and how well the image adheres to the canon script. I like the use of leather as well. Also love the bird in the background, breaking composition.


Thanks, :iconakaibelier:! I really like how you did two different time periods but kept him in character. I could definitely see him as a ronin samurai or the class clown. I also really like your drawing style and how clean it is.


:iconkou-reika: did a lot of research, and I'm always willing to applaud that. The zweihander is such a fitting sword for him. (Btw the way, he's 6'2".) Loves the frills you've added to the costume, and yes - he'd totally be up in the front line if it meant more fun and more money.


:iconghost: - one, I'm sorry I didn't stop by at Otakon, argh. I was like, chained to my table because there were so many of us leaving all the time. But I love what you did to Bohren's coat in this - he looks like he belongs in such a futuristic setting- probably doing something illegal, haha.

So, the referral system didn't work, and I just ended up making a fourth place prize. Along with a 1-month sub, pick one of the following: a) digital sketch commission, b) any letter-sized print from my gallery, c) a 1-month DeviantART subscription or d) cash equivalent.


:iconbrowncutehat: - your image has wonderful composition. You made him look so regal! As for the costume, I liked the straps and the cape design (the chain claps is awesome). I really like that belt, but again - your perspective and lighting really tied the piece together. It wasn't just a character design.

Now, moving on to third place. You get a three-month sub (or cash equivalent) and one of the following: a) digital sketch, b) a print, c) a 1-month DeviantART sub or d) cash.


My, my, :iconyoukobutt:! Including two characters? And a background? I was really impressed. All the detail and thought you put into the costuming shows - they really do match, haha. I loved all the detailing you did on the outfits - like the feather designs on the shoulderplates and embroidery. You must have put so much time into this. :D Thank you so much!

Second place gets six-months' subscription to DeviantART (or cash) and one of the following: a) digital sketch, b) a print, c) a 1-month DeviantART sub or d) cash equivalent.


:iconjilllenad: - when I saw this piece first, I was like "That is totally my character." It's simple, and the details are subtle. The essential elements were kept - feathers, channeling beads - but more than kept, worked into the actual drawing and not left as afterthoughts. I really like the sword design as well. The pose helps engage the viewer, too. Really nice painting job as well - I like the border tons. His face is exactly as I envisioned it.

Finally, the grand-prize winner gets a years' subscription to DeviantART (or cash) and two of the following: a) digital sketch, b) a print, c) a 1-month DeviantART sub or d) cash equivalent.


:iconlook: - you are an amazing painter, but I'm sure you know that. The quality of the reflectivity on the metal and the plate design is amazing. I love the layering, and the leg armor really strikes me as fitting. I love all the really subtle details, too. You can really imagine them as being part of the metal. I really just love the cut of the leather top, and the sword design is also fitting. Haha, this is kind of random, but the blue back lighting gives the armor a real kick.

Please send me a note telling me what you'd like, guys. :D If you want cash, don't forget to send me your Paypal address!

And again, thank you everyone for your participation. :heart: You can view all the entries here:
