Hey guys! It's been a year now, and it's come to that time again. I don't want to write my pity story here, but I could really use the money because, seriously, I risk losing my car.

Here are the details:
I’m pretty much open to anything, but here are some basic guidelines for the usual stuff.  If you have something in mind that’s not on the list, or a specific size that you want/require, just let me know because I’m really open to anything; we’ll talk it out.  I’ve done oil paintings, skateboards, and tshirts, so whatever it is you need, I’ll do it.

**BUST COMMISSIONS**
Just a simple portrait of the character, bust only. If you want anything fancy added to it, like a border or background, etc. just let me know and we’ll discuss it further.  
DIGITAL
BLACK & WHITE:
Small (5.5”x8.5” ) = $15
Regular (8.5”x11” ) = $25
COLOR:
Small = $25
Reg. = $35

MARKER:
Small = $25
Reg. = $35

WATERCOLOR:
Small = $30
Reg. = $40

**REGULAR COMMISSIONS**
Full body portrait, standing still if you don’t mention anything about what/how you want it. Extra stuff, mention it in your note. Props and whatnot are free, but backgrounds cost extra.
DIGITAL
BLACK & WHITE:
Small (5.5”x8.5” ) = $20
Regular (8.5”x11” ) = $35
Large (11”x14” ) = $50
COLOR:
Small = $30
Reg. = $45
Large = $60

INK:
Small = $25
Reg. = $40
Large = $55

MARKER:
Small = $35
Reg. = $50
Large = $65

**EXTRAS**
- I still do paper children if you’re interested; they’re still $10, drawn on 4”x6” cardstock and colored with marker
- Backgrounds are negotiable; depending on how detailed you want it, it can be an extra $5-50.  Like I said, it depends on what you want.
- Additional characters cost more, but the price is negotiable; it’ll range from $5-50, depending on the size and commission type

*SHIPPING & HANDLING:
Varies depending on your commission

*PAYMENT:
Paypal is preferred (and I do take credit cards now), but I will also accept cash, check, and money order

*DIRECTIONS:
Please send me a NOTE with the following filled out:

NAME:
METHOD OF PAYMENT:
COMMISSION:
SIZE:
NOTES:

Please be as specific as possible.
Please put “COMMISSION” in your subject line or your note may not be read.
Please include your address if your commission is a traditional piece; otherwise I will go with your paypal address or your return address if you send payment through the mail.

*!* I will be taking commissions on first-come-first-serve basis, up to 3 slots at a time (this is to ensure I get them done on a timely manner instead of hoarding everyone's commissions for a year). All statuses of current commissions and the waitlist will be posted/updated on this journal entry.

Thanks again, guys. Your support keeps food in my belly. <3
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I may take a while getting to you, but I always try my best to answer.

SLOTS:
1. - rough draft - 75%
2. - payment received; starting rough draft - 0%
3. - payment received; starting rough draft - 0%
WAITING LIST:
- blightedmetal

I got into a rather disastrous car accident in December. No one got hurt except me, but my injuries were minimal, though rather permanent. I completely destroyed my car, however, and as such, got piled with bills. So, I can no longer afford AX09; the tickets, the table, the costs of manufacturing products, etc. So, I'm very sorry I won't be seeing you this year. I really am.
Also, I'm pretty sure I can't afford to print the artbooks anymore, but I'm still working on it when I can.

I need to open commissions because I've hit rock bottom, but I have 2 commissions to finish up before I can open them again. And I'm still not even sure I want to re-open commissions. But gah. I'm in a pinch.

Also, I now have carpal tunnel syndrome and am trying (keyword:trying) to stay off the computer. Well, not permanently, but just not on as long as I usually am.
You hear and hear alot about CTS but don't really think about it...but man, when you get it...it's a major pain in the ass. Like, for real.

Do your wrist exercises, people.

Good news, though: I'm working on ASKARI chpt 2 of the webcomic because chpt 1 is finally done. Progress sure smells good.

I guess I just can't leave dA alone. How pathetic.

So, I promised my contest winners their prizes by end of October. It's the end of November and still no prizes. Look, I can keep promising you guys dates, and I'll probably keep failing to meet them. But just know you're not forgotten.
The ASKARI artbook is moving along well, but slowly, but moving nonetheless.

Also, I'm cleaning up my gallery. Almost everything will be sent to scraps (including old commissions).
I'm pretty sure I'll have lots of new stuff to put up here once winter break starts.
All the ASKARI chapters on DA will be deleted. They will be posted up on this site from now on: www.fictionpress.com/~toukenje…
But since I am drawing the comic from the novel, I decided that was a bit redundant. The comic will retain its script. The novel form will be different, more detailed, etc. The old version, I'll probably keep up online for those that can't wait for my slow comic updates. The new version I'll be adding to periodically (the new version hasn't been posted yet, btw).

As for commissions, I have 1 or 2 still left. After that, I'll consider opening commissions up again, but in slots. Apparently, I take on too much at once and then take a year to finish them all.

Also, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanks everyone for your constant support.

OKAY; This is all stuff I have left over from AX07 and I NEED TO GET RID OF THESE. I plan on going to AX09 with new stuffs, but I need to get rid of all this first (and I need the money to make said new stuff).
SO, your help would be greatly appreciated!!

As an added incentive, all purchases over $25 will have FREE SHIPPING.
