Art and Money

Journal Entry: Thu May 16, 2013, 10:56 AM
Hey guys. I've finally gotten good enough at drawing I don't feel like I'm stealing if I were to charge people for it.  This is good because my husband and I are trying to save up for a car and as married college students, that's not an easy feat.

However, just as I was considering trying to make a little money on the side, I ran into someone else who is in a much worse place than me:

[link]

I am determined to help him. I'm a graduating psych major so I know how terrible schizoaffective disorder is. He is very, very brave to try and support himself.

If you don't like his art style, but you do like mine, then I will draw for you in exchange for your supporting him. (I have already contacted Skylar and he accepted my help.)

You have my whole DA for samples (although a lot of the art on it is super old so, y'know); I am trying to sell inked/fully shaded/colored medium shots, fullbodies, and chibis.

Respective prices (and I'm willing to talk about these for sure) are thus:

Inked:
Medium shot: $1
Fullbody: $3
Chibi: $1

Fully shaded (this includes monocrhomes, like my purple rose):
Medium shot: $3
Fullbody: $5
Chibi: $4

Fully colored:
Medium shot: $5
Fullbody: $8
Chibi: $4

If you have any questions or want to order, just contact me. I'll be on DA a lot. If you don't want to order but you support my cause, maybe pass this along or sponsor him yourself too, hey?

If nothing else - I believe that my prices are pretty cheap, and I know there are those out there who might appreciate that.

Thanks!

Art: I've been drawing since I could pick up a pencil. I've never really had any formal schooling, just a semester of basic drawing my senior year of high school and a couple how-to books. The how-to books weren't really helpful save for three - one which opened my mind to combining things that don't normally go together for making creatures, one that taught me how to draw dragons (my dragons before SUCKED) and one that gave me some good insight on shading and general mystical creatures.
I feel like I've finally found my style, and I'm finally really getting the hang of drawing. I might take an art class or two while I'm in school.

Writing: Yeah, I don't really have any of my work on here, and I am not likely to put any up. I'm very shy about sharing my work with people I don't know. I mean, it's good, but I'm terrified of people really criticizing it and tearing it to pieces. I've had that happen to me before and it was really crushing. I'm not afraid of criticism overall, just heartless attacks.
However, I have also been writing as soon as I knew letters, and I've also come a long way. I've had a bit more education for writing, even taken a semester creative writing course (that semester ROCKED) but a lot of my expertise is just experience and from reading a lot.
I pride myself in my villains. Basically, they're the coolest things ever. EVER. Since I'm unwilling to put up samples, you're just gonna have to believe me, but others can vouch for me! (Including the people who gave me my first "your writing sucks and should die" experience).

It took a LOT of coaxing for me to even get a DA for fear of putting ANY of my work up, so maybe with more coaxing I might put up some writing. Ha, in real life, I'm hardly shy and love showing off my stuff...funny that here in the big blank world of the internet I crawl into my shell that no one knew I even had. *cough* anyways.

Myself? Well, I'm Rii. I'm the lovable scatterbrain psycho evil ditzy fangirl overlord grammar nazi of peril and pie. Yeah, that basically sums it up in a surplus of adjectives. I'm a shortie, I'm adorable, I'm epic and awesome and yet insecure in my awesomeness (sometimes). I absolutely ADORE dragons - I have a collection of about a thousand, no joke, no exaggeration. OH! And my life is a video game. No, seriously, it is. XD And I would sure make one HECK of a bad-ace character, lemmie tell ya.
