Commission Info





I am now ready to advertise myself and begin drawing requests! *Cracks Knuckles* Alright lets do this!


COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!






SUMMMER DEAL: 50% OFF ON EVERY REQUEST!




Current Requests : 0 / 5

Requests Finished: 1



Earned Money : $6.38 / $ 150







I aim towards a manga and anime style with my work with a little more originality. The reason for this commission is to help me grow as an artist to help me prepare professionally into making my own manga books. The drawings I offer will be cheap as possible since I am experimenting with my style and am trying to gain more experience. I try my best to keep it under $20 per piece, but do also offer discounts. If you're the first person to send in a request, you'll get 50% off on the first one, as well as 15% off on future commission requests!

My goal is to reach $150 through these commissions. With the money I will utilize towards purchasing a premium account here on DeviantArt as well as investing it in my longer-term projects. If I'm able to reach my goal I will open FREE Commissions for everything for a week! (Well most everything, will be some minor restrictions though.)

My limit of Commissions will be 5 at a time, and after I complete those 5 I will post another journal entry for another 5 requests to be opened.

======================================

Rules


======================================


  1. For payment, I would like the 50/50 deal. You pay half for the request, then the rest after its done. I will of course show progress of the entire sketch to you by sending you an e-mail. If you ever decide to change your mind to upgrading to inked, digital colors, etc. then I'll gladly compromise, as long as you pay the remaining half of my payment for the commission listed in the prices. PayPal is required! I will send you a note with my e-mail if you give me a request.


  2. Humanoid characters only. No Furs or My Little Pony characters. I want to keep my focus on human anatomy if possible. Will accept alien type characters though, as well as fantasy characters like orcs, elves, dwarves, etc...


  3. No Gore. Spilled blood, cuts, bullet wounds are accepted. Just don't ask me to draw guts leaking out of someone... :fear:


  4. Smut material is fine. However I will not post it on this page. ALSO it will cost an extra fee of $3 for anything smut related. Soft-core nudity is fine however and doesn't require this extra fee.


  5. No Deadlines. Being pressured into deadlines kills the mood of drawing for me and may have a tendency to bring down the quality of my work.


  6. Animal creatures and Scenery is more than welcomed. However will only restrict them up to only Ink level since I don't have too much experience on it. Will limit to one request of each.


  7. If you're requesting fan art, it would help to point me out what show or manga I'm referencing. I know Bleach and Cowboy Bebop, but its possible you might ask me to draw something from a series I never heard of. If that's the case I'll just ask you to show me references for me to go on.

======================================

Prices


======================================

  • Pencil Line Sketches : $ 4


  • Inked Drawings : $ 7


  • Digital Colored Flats: $ 10


  • Digital Cell Shades: $ 15


  • Digital Airbrush Color Blending: $ 17


  • Extra Characters: + $ 2 per character


  • Adding on to one of your drawings: $ 3 - $8 depending on how much.



======================================

Discounts


======================================


  • First Person to Request : 50% ! ! ! + 25% off on future requests (not stacking on other discounts, but will get the better default discount nonetheless) TAKEN!


  • Scenery and Animals : 15%


  • Original Characters (not fan made) : 15%


  • Fan Made Characters : 10 %


  • Weapon Designs Only (Great if you need your character to hold an awesome looking sword or gun!: 10%



"But...but why all these cheap prices and discount opportunities?! Are you insane!?! :omg: "

Like I mentioned above, this is all for learning and practicing. I'm doing my best to tune up my work for my up-coming projects and I figured this should be a perfect way to go about it! Cheap prices will give people more incentive to give requests which in return gives me more stuff to draw and improve on. Sure it might take some time to reach my goal with these prices and the lack of people knowing about my work, but this also gives me an opportunity to practice patience.

If you have any questions about my commissions do post a comment here in this journal entry! That way if anyone else who needs the same question answered they might find it right here.

Request away!

Happy Father's Day Everyone!

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 16, 2013, 4:21 PM
Happy Father's day! Had a rather busy day going out to eat as well as visiting Grandpa.

Anyways, I finally finished that one drawing of Julia which took longer than it should have been. On the home profile page here on dA you can see it. Make sure you leave feedback if you haven't already! ^^

Another piece I'm working on is a character sheet for Shotgun Jane. I just have some shading work to do as well as editing a few more details. Still unsure of some of the details, like the nose or eyes, but overall I think it's coming along well. Come see what it looks like right [here!]
(actually editing it as I'm making this entry ^^;)

So I'm almost done with the story board. It has the icing layer coating it, but it's not fully 'decorated' as of yet. Half of it is still left bare without much detail, but hopefully if I find time and motivation I'll be able to get everything finished by tonight. Next week I'll be studying for the CompTIA certification exam and I'll be doing a little studying of my own for drawing, as well as get another character concept sheet done. Lot of work, yes, but I'm confident I can complete it all. Really need to get more active in the community though, which I aim to do on Sunday which I originally had planned. Still trying to transition into the habit of things, but it's going smoother by the day.

Just a quick shoutout to my Grandpa! Though he may be easily upset at times it's completely understandable for all the things he had to put up through the last couple months. Cheers Grandpa! Hope you live well!

Also a shoutout to all of you reading this! Am thankful for any and all support helping me progress with my drawings and stories! Have a fantastic Father's Day!

"Keep your head in the skies, but don't forget to watch your step below you."

Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Mike, but people call me Chain on the internet. I proclaim myself to be a mangaka, someone who draws manga and anime-style drawings. Mostly this has been an on-and-off thing for me, but now I am taking the steps to becoming professional. Each day I see myself improving in my skills, and it has been a rough ride for me with health problems and just pure apathy.

After a wonderful anime convention and having one of my drawings signed by the Nostalgia Critic, I'm passed all of the harsh mental obstacles and now am eager to draw draw and draw some more! I have two manga projects that I am working on. One is a one-shot, and the other is a long, epic series I have planned out for several years. My ultimate goal is to have an anime made that will inspire millions of viewers. That's realistic right..? :P

Anyways welcome to my page! I have commissions opened now and will be ready to put pencil to paper for anyone!

Well I just started the first 4 pages and aim to get those done by this week. However it may take me another 2-3 months to get that chapter ready for revision. Revision may take a month or so, which will include improving the initial sketch, inking, scanning + digital shading and adding dialogue. I have chapter 1 in its most raw form, but I will have to revise that first of course.

A fan? Oh stop it you! :blush:

Well if you haven't seen it yet you can view my latest upload to see how I'm progressing on that one shot of mine. It's a slow start but that's because of finals coming up for college. But this summer I will be getting a lot done, don't you worry! ^^

Glad you liked it! He's been part of a project I've been working on for a long time. Though now its on hold for my one-shot manga, I do aim to make a most epic story with him. ^^

Anyways thanks for welcoming me to the group. :)
