That's great!!

I think I'll try sittng down to pay some bills and see what happens....

Seriously! If I had the possibility of that showing up from paying bills... AT&T would have me pre-paid for YEARS.

Oh, I LOVE that. I'm such a fan of classic pin-up pieces. So sexy but not slutty. The coloring on it is gorgeous too.

I've been lucky with getting really nice customers, too. One person I'm working with right now is just going to spoil me rotten because he deposited more than I required and then paid in full before I require it, too. He really REALLY liked the pencils ^.^

All i can say is that this experience escalating over the past 3 years or more has me not wanting to get commissions even when i am able to afford it again. I have about 15 artists besides MMOart that i have paid in full up front over a year or more ago and hav'nt seen any linework at all from. At this point and how financially strained the economy is, i don't think i can afford to take that risk anymore.

Blah, that's terrible! One of the biggest art community supporters getting burned multiple times =/

Oh yeah, I doubt its taking money and running or intentionally bad business practices. I'd be concerned that something personal must have exploded, too. Its just something I happen to think on too since I want to have my own arts business of sorts.

Bad situation all around, and worrisome =(

.... or have people even put down deposits and can't get a hold of them?

This is me, for about a year(?) or so...

Holy banana boats >.<

Home businesses are scary. All I want to do for a living are my commissions and freelance illustration, but fortunately I have a husband who brings in the steady income, health insurance, etc. Our budget is based almost entirely from his salary, so if I go through income fluctuations, we won't have to scramble and end up living in a van down by the river. Subsisting on a diet of government cheese...

And if he has job issues (works for the state though, so unlikely) at least he'd qualify for unemployment.

Bah, that sucks =/

I really hope everything gets worked out for everyone.

Out of curiosity, is it that people just won't be able to order because they've dropped off somewhere, or have people even put down deposits and can't get a hold of them?

I love the concept behind this one. HOT! Or... probably cold... very very cold.

I gotta plug TA's The Network! Its a pretty comprehensive list. But other than that, everyone mentioned above is awesomeness. As for myself, I think I have a pretty good turn-around time, generally. And my prices are average, as near as I can tell. Its all over here.

All I can say is what I did in the description. I made it last night.

beautiful, is it still Frost's fault though? :P

Well... since he did make the character... pretty hard for him to wriggle out of the blame for this one ^.^

Thanks! Those do indeed help.

Hey guys, can you help me out? I need some pics from any of the Carnival of Shadows special maps of their cool decorations and stuff. I want to incorporate those settings into a commission, and I only have a couple pics that don't show a lot. I COULD use the flashback stuff... but I thought maybe some people already had good pics without me having to hunt for the right missions.

Thanks in advance!

Very nice. The tilty camera angle is cool. All the lighting and stuff in the background came out really nice, too. Overall quite pulled together and I think anyone would be very happy with that piece.

Neat! I like the zoomy background, simple but worked out nicely for the overall piece.

[ QUOTE ]
A little something I threw together.. hope I get to keep it somehow :P

[/ QUOTE ]

That actually came out really darn well. I knew this was a feature and not a bug!! ^.^

[ QUOTE ]
It's a known feature .

[/ QUOTE ]

Fixed!

Aaaaaaand its all done! These are the last two pieces. Kara also has what should be a really interesting Ink and Colored Pencil commission in the works that I hope will come out as nicely as I'm envisioning

D'Jinn, N'Tonic

I love Harley Quinn! I think you captured her attitude perfectly. The setting is just awesome. Really good lighting, too.

That's really nice! The pose is very cool and different. Nice grab!

Thank you so much ^.^

Hmmmm.... I wonder why.....

I'm actually pretty partial to White Succubus. I think I did particularly good work on the wings.
