W00t! Well, even though I didn't have a fursuit this con was a lot more fun ^-^ So much thanks and gratitude to the delightful sirfox for allowing me the use of his table to test the waters, as it were. If I have time next year to do this sort of thing again (who knows) I think it'd be well worth it to get my own table. It's definitely a lot more fun

Eh, ya, we definately gotta hang out more and etc. One thing I'd like to ask, was how much did the lil' pics of the chars from Anthem sell for? I'm horribly curious. I didn't have time to mess with auctions, nor do I have much space/inclination to put more art on my walls, unless I REEEEEEEALLY had a hankering for it, lol. Just curious.

And eh, I'm plotting someday maybe commissioning you for an etc, or something... I lurv the jagged art style you use. Like... I just had a brilliant decorative idea, but I'm gonna have to think hard about it, and find out what your artistic pricings/etc are 0_o;

And ACK! I just re-read the anthem book... I wanted to ask, does the comic end there, or does the hijinx continue elsewhere? Maybe in another lab/environment somehow, or continuing the random storyline from when she ran into the mirror?...

*confused and worried fan, break it to me*

On a different note... Yay for snakes! Those seem to be the kind that make their own chunky gravy :p

Hee hee, pricing! As for the art pieces, Instinct (the one most like a normal wolf) sold for $6 I think, and Grinny (the one with the chainsaw) sold for $10. Crazy didn't sell, though I had him up for $5 :P
Comishes! Price depends what you want, of course, I usually charge $15 for a char sketch $20 for an inked piece, $25 for digitally colored. More complicated stuff than a single char piece can be worked out :)
As for Anthem, the hijinx certainly continue! If I manage to see this story to the end I have in mind for it, I estimate there'll be about 10 such books.

Yay for comics! I checked back just now, and there was more. If it was posted in LJ, I haven't had time to catch up yet, but it certainly puts me at ease.

But yea, what I'm thinking of would be fairly complicated, in more ways than one. I realized it would be extremely cool and beautiful, to have a series of 3 or more highly detailed pics of artistic shapes, from different artists. I'd possibly ask for them in black, white, and grayscales, since they'd likely match better that way. I'd like something wonderful I could frame on my wall, but I'll likely end up working with individual artists for it.

So far, I had already asked vulgaris about commissioning a large, complex pic composed entirely of curves. She's pondering it, but nothing is certain. From what I've seen, she has impressive styles involving curves, and the following drove it home: The hair in the conbadge I commissioned from her:

[spiffystuff]

Hmm, well it certainly sounds interesting, and I like the ideas for different styles you have. Not really sure what exactly it is you've got in mind though as far as subject matter goes XD You say "artistic shapes" but I'm not sure if you mean something wildly abstract or some kind of figure or what...?

[nightfurson]

Ah, good question. I hadn't thought of that question, but I was positive these things needed to be wildly abstract. I'd also lurv the one from you to be sorta dense looking, maybe as dense as you drew the character Adie's hair in example I put up.

I really need to put more thought into this, though... I just spent, like, 50 minutes typing and untyping, debating with myself, only to make the thought "ACK! Hand gestures don't translate well into text", lol. Maybe we could chat sometime when I/you have more time, or when I bump into you again later.

The big things I'm wondering about now, that crossed my mind, would be what pic size would be good, and whether or not to have it all greyscales. There's a number of other things crawling through my mind now, but I'm sure having the pic digitally colored/finished/perfected would be best in terms of getting it the right size, look, etc.

ACK TYPING STOPS NOW
Gonna take a break :P

[spiffystuff]

Rah! Well, it's a very intriguing project, though I really have no idea how well I'd do at it since I haven't done abstract stuff terribly much (though I find it intereting, yus yus)
Definitely seems like something we should get together with in person, as doodling ideas seems immensly more useful than text here.
Hrm. I don't know if the other artists you mentioned are in the area, but maybe you me and jessup could meet at the contemporary art museum in DC some weekend to try to brainstorm??

[nightfurson]

Dooh! A trip sounds like a fun idea... tcgiant is certainly in the area last I checked, and I'm likely to see him at college/school next semester. I still have to bring the series idea to him and Jessup, but it could work well. I dunno where you live, but the trip to that museum might be roughest on Jessup, since she lives far in east MD.

Eh, I gotta make some calls, and etc...

*runs since the rool got volatile*

[spiffystuff]

Whelp, I live in baltimore until the end of July, so I can do it if we do it soonish!

[nightfurson]

Awesome, talked with Vulgaris, sounds like she's interested, if she can find time. Sounds like July is hectic for her though. The thought has come up though, that I'll likely end up working individually with people, and we'll probably figure out what we can, online... less demands on people that way
