That moth creature is all kinds of awesome. What is it?

[rakkenfloofer]

It's a Leppard, a creature I made up based on different kinds of moths, that dispenses dreams. I haven't done much with them yet, but they're really fun to draw. :D

I miss seeing Fugax on DA (he's my fave original char of all of them I've seen, by anyone)...all but Layra's pic of him are gone there now. Do you mind if I watch you here to keep up with your lovely art? :)

[rakkenfloofer]

What other Leppard characters are there, besides mine? Sure, go for it, I'll add you back since I love your art. I don't update much anymore, though...need to work on that. DX

[swandog]

Oh, I meant out of all the original, unique characters of ANY kind drawn by ANYbody. :) And thanks so much for friending me--reciprocating now! :D Also, just had to ask, what would you charge for a sketch? I would so love to see your interpretation of my Lunacorn char, because you draw luna moths so well, and your deer-like unicorns are exactly the way I imagine them to be (and the way Luna herself looks). :)

[rakkenfloofer]

To be honest, I've never taken an online commission before, I'm not really sure how they work with the money transference and all. I'd love for your Lunacorn to be my first, though! She's gorgeous!

[swandog]

Ooh, that would be awesome--and thanks! :D I've generally use paypal for money transfers, but I can also do direct wire transfers to anyone who has a bank account (have done that on a few occasions). What would you charge for a simple sketch? :)

P.S. And WHAT is that adorable critter in your icon?? :D

[rakkenfloofer]

Um...what's reasonable? $10, $20? I don't currently have a PayPal account, is it pretty simple to set up?

And it is totally a moth. :D

[swandog]

Most artists that take sketch commissions through LJ (where they don't plan on mailing the original art), charge $10 for a single char, and $15 for a winged or very complicated/detailed char...But really, it's up to you whatever you feel your art and time is worth. :)

And omg, what kind of moth? Do you have a larger version of that image (I collect moth pics; I'm such a nerd, lol)...It looks like a little moth-mouse! XD

[rakkenfloofer]

$10 is ok. What refs d'you want me to use?

And sorry, I don't know what kind of moth it is, but it is pretty darling, eh? I found it here.

[swandog]

Here are some refs for her:

And thanks for the moth pic link--sooooo adorable!! XD

[rakkenfloofer]

I don't have a DA account anymore, is there another way I can see the second one? (sorry about all this hassle!)

[swandog]

No problem! It's here: http://swandogstudio.com/lunamoon.jpg and her desc--including various photo refs--is here (since you couldn't view it on DA): http://unicorngrove.subject-expert.com/human-interest-f3/uni-kin-descriptions-for-artwork-t250.htm#1872 :)

[rakkenfloofer]

Thanks, that last one especially is really helpful!
