I still exist, though my time has lately been consumed with getting through my final year of school (=A=);; This post is mainly for people who are coming from DoA, Resinality, or who know nightengale, alanna214, or amubleu. Do take a peek under the cut for pics and more info :) All comments will be screened.
Edited to add, as per Em's advice: If you're a non-LJer, you can send me a BJD portrait request at
devART, at Resinality (I'm
raku-raku), or drop me an email at eden dot 713 at gmail. Will establish a profile on DoA as soon as they re-open registration Find me on DoA as
raku-raku :)
The Rules:
-I accept Paypal only. No art trades, IOUs, or really anything other than Paypal.
-I work fast and I work hard. I'm a professional illustrator as well as a student, so my time fills up fast every week. Because of this, I require half payment up front before I begin any work on your request.
-You will receive two versions of your finished commission. One will be a larger, hi-res version for your own personal use (printing out, personal wallpapers, avatars, banners, etc). This is the image you are actually paying for, and is exclusive to you. The other version will be a slightly smaller, watermarked image which I ask you use if you decide to share the full image on other sites/blogs/forums, etc.
-I need about two days for each request.
-You are free to commission multiple requests, but the rules apply to every image: each picture requires half payment up front before I begin, and each picture will take about two days.
-You must provide me with photo references of your BJD and any specific clothing/props you would like included. I can work from rough description, but it will be to everyone's greater satisfaction if I can actually SEE the subject of the portrait. Along with photo references, it's also helpful if you provide brief personality descriptions for your dolls.
-I generally work in a sketchier, manga-flavored style, but if you wish to have a more realistic portrait of your doll(s), I can accommodate your request at additional cost. See
my dA gallery for more of my digital/traditional work.
-Please think carefully about what you would like before requesting a commission. The more info I have up front, the sooner you'll receive your art :)
