Super "What Are You Thinking?" ReBirth

[Mirby]

I'm thinking about opening up commissions for custom Pokemon trainer sprites cause I really need the money (gotta pay my phone bill).

[Amatiramisu]

If you need the money and have the time, what's there to think about? You enjoy drawing anyways, don't you?

[Mr. Haxwell]

Not sure how I'm going to vacuum clean the house, with my sibs all over the place. But since my mother ain't here to [sonic slicer] about me taking my sweet time to get it done, I think I'll wait until everyone clears out first.

>custom sprites
>drawing

yeah not quite the same

also it's less of me needing the money and having the time and more finding people who want to pay for it. that's where things get tricky.

Oh, sprites. Missed that. Yeah, that's different.

Really? All of my friends who are on Deviantart say it's balls easy to find someone who'll pay to get something drawn.

Randomly experiencing connection problems. And I can tell it ain't the PC lagging on me.

I've tried the dA route before, didn't get anything. I suppose I could try again, but honestly I'd rather do it for people I know (that way I can make the final result a bit more personal) than people I don't at all.

Do you have a Facebook?  You could do commissions that way.

Actually, what's your price range?  I like the sound of custom sprites.  Also, have you considered painting custom sprites on canvas?  It'll take extra work to draw up a grid (or you could find pre-ruled paper and stretch it onto a canvas), but that'd be another way to make more money.  For painted sprites, you could charge easily $100.

Well I was gonna charge $8, since I don't exactly have the resources to send out physical versions. And I tried Facebook, no one was interested. Once I mentioned I wanted money for them no one wanted any :C

[Quickman]

Cheapskates.  Serious cheapskates, too.  $8 is dirt cheap.  Way, way, WAY cheaper than what I charge, that's for sure!

But yeah, people run once commission rates are mentioned.  I haven't done any commissions in a while because once I mentioned my rates, people hide.

[Mirby]

Well I'm trying this. $8 for a custom trainer sprite, $15 for a painting in Colors! 3D

It's the season of giving, let's see how many people I know completely ignore that and decide not to help me.

[Quickman]

This week, I'll be heading into town, and thus to the bank.  I may take you up on your offer.

[Mirby]

Well I've added a link in my sig to the Tumblr post I made about this (has all the details there) so yeah.

Same with all the forums I'm on. Trying to get as much traffic to this as I can

[Quickman]

I think tonight shall be a pizza night.

Pizza and movie night.

[Phi]

Which movie?

[Quickman]

Pacific Rim.

Mabel's already curled up on the couch.

[Phi]

Ah, still haven't seen that yet...

[Protoman Blues]

Pacific Rim.

Mabel's already curled up on the couch.

Still my favorite movie of the year

[Quickman]

I missed it in theaters, so I grabbed the DVD last week.  Right now fighting off the tireds and trying to tear myself away from my drafting table so I can watch it with Mabel.

[Phi]

For a visual spectacle like that, I'll probably get the blu-ray version.

[Dr. Wily II]

Argh... It's only Tuesday! D:

[Quickman]

Blu-Ray expensive and no player have I.

I WILL WHORE OUT MY ALL-REGIONS DVD PLAYER FIRST

And more snow is on the way.  YAY!  Snow and jury duty!

[Dr. Wily II]

So what does one do during jury duty?

So what does one do during jury duty?

Sit down listen to both sides of the argument and decide which one is guilty or not.  It's kind of boring, but I haven't been to one yet.
