Haha I'm sure they're having a horrible argument but the first idea that came to mind was for you to walk around casually screaming out your schedule for the day. Like, at the top of your lungs. Really commit.

"GONNA WAIT FOR MY PARCEL. HOPE THEY GET HERE SOON. BEEN UP SINCE 7:45 AND HOPE THEY DON'T JUST DRIVE BY THE BUILDING WITHOUT DROPPING IT OFF."

Have you ever wanted to try those color correction glasses for colorblind people? I'm not sure how much they go for, but the videos of people trying them for the first time are really fascinating.

Aaaaww sheeeeiit I need to read this. There's so much emotion in your characters' faces that makes it perfect for a graphic novel. Too many have either too little emotion or too cartoonish, but you've found a nice medium. The posing is dynamic as well- it's clear you're unafraid of difficult angles. Good luck with hashing out those storylines!

Your art is adorable as always, but what really stuns me are your backgrounds! So much love and detail goes into them that I couldn't even begin to imagine. They really bring the whole image alive! They really look like they belong in an animated movie.

I used to use dA a lot in high school, but stopped after some time. I re-joined a month ago or so, only to realize it's mostly anime and ponies now, and that most of the basic site perks are for paid-only members... Are there any other art portfolio-type sites?

I AM SO EXCITED. The new event and the new site layout really gets me into the Halloween spirit >u<

Wow, that's really cute!! I love all the bright colors and the shading. Really well done :)

@Lydiachan22: That's certainly very helpful :) I considered Facebook as a means of earning commissions, though I've heard a couple of artists say if you make a like page, Facebook doesn't notify you when someone pings you, likes your page, etc. I'd guess you would have to check it habitually in that case?


@Slytherclaw: THANK YOU! I read all the way through that greendragon page, and it was very informative. I've got it bookmarked lol. So basically all income you make has to be reported no matter what, then depending on the amount the IRS may or may not charge taxes (under $400 appears to be the tax free limit for most on a federal level?) Make enough money doing art and you'll be categorized as self-employed, even if you have another job, which is fair. Looks like sole proprietorship is the way to go there.


@Addy: I looked around at some other artist pages, and I think I'll start pricing sketches at about $8, color adds another $8, full body another $5. That's pretty reasonable, I think, especially since I'm basically unknown. Maybe if I get a bigger audience I can raise my prices and do the half up front and half after completion, like you do.

As for conventions, I really appreciate all the information! I haven't been to a con in years, so I wasn't sure how to go about it. I live near Otakon, but right now I'm not sure if I'll do a table. Maybe I'll just attend at first, meet some other artists.

@okios: Thank you! >u<


@Mica: Haha I'm glad you like it~ The curls were fun to draw!

@GuttedBunny: Mannn I love those exaggerated lashes and lips. You should post more o uo

I used to think growing up would be a slow process. It went by so fast.

That looks amazing @v@ The colors go very well together.

Saving this just in case :vanora_upsidedown:
