Wow, your work is awesome... I am even more awed at the fact that some of your pieces were done wholly with a mouse! I CG with a mouse myself, not having a tablet (yet!) and I'm okay at it, though it is quite time consuming, and my work mostly consists of anime/manga type artwork which is typically easier than realism. Though maybe PhotoshopCS isn't the best for painting with... any other programs you would recommend for CGing?
I'm also curious, how long does a detailed commission usually take you? Sketching time/digital colouring time/etc.

Thanks, InsaneKitten. ) Actually, I know alot of artists who use PhotoShop for painting and produce nice sharp and well defined paintings. I, personally, use Corel PhotoPaint 8 (which is basically like the beta version of the ever popular growing Corel Painter). I've used it since I first began digital painting.
As for how long a detailed commission takes.. well, it really depends on precisely how much detailed is desired, but the sketching times are usually fairly quick (20 - 30 minutes or so) since I only add detail once I begin painting. The actual painting time could be anywhere from two days to a week , depending on my schedule (I often work on more than one project at a time).

Wow, awesome artwork. Do you only draw artwork for greens, or would you be willing to accept Paypal? D

Well, here's the deal (and the method to my madness ;) ) I initiated this trading post as a fun way to boost my Trader record. It is [b33e0df6700]VERY[/b33e0df6700] rare for me to do online public commissions so I felt this would be a good way to keep in theme with the whole "freebie spirit" going on in forums such as this. There are only three (3) ways to get a commission from me
1) Be a publishing firm or corporation who produces books, online games, or cd covers. These guys are my bill payers and it's hard for the average person compete with the money that they offer despite the fact that I lower my fees drastically for the average joe.
2) If you're just a regular average public consumer and can afford a $200 starting fee for a commission, I'll create anything you want. And yes, I do accept PayPal. )
3) Get it practically free through a trade for referral. If you've done all of the sites I have listed, I have others which are not listed which you may or may not have done.
Thanks for your interest, Flamarial. )

Thank you for the kind words. Hmmm, the drawback of having a high trading record, huh? Can't do one of those sites, eh? Well, first let's see if you can do one of these other sites instead

Chances are you've probably done them all too, but if not let me know. And if not, I'd DEFINITELY thank you for sending a friend my way, ghstlegacy17. )
