Commission Information
Alright.

First and foremost, the trail is blazing. The old commissions are being taken care of as I work through school, and hopefully that'll mean the backlog is gonna get a big fat chunk taken out of it. Hopefully. In the meantime--

No, the title doesn't mean I'm taking on new commissions. These are the conditions under which I'll take new commissions:

There are a lot of poeple ahead of you.
You're willing to be patient-- perhaps moreso than you'd like to be.
You may not even see a prelim sketch for a while.
IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME.
It's going to cost more.

Secondly, there are some things concerning reprinting materials/etc.

You, the buyer, are not allowed to reprint a piece you've purchased from me. This violates copywrite laws. The only way to get around this is to buy out the piece and the materials that come with it. Just so people are aware, this costs a whole lot more.
You can purchase limited usage, meaning you can reprint the image as many times as you like so long as it's in a certain timeframe.

Which leads me to my last point.

Commission prices are raising.

Consketches and the like are still going to be what they were. But any and all listings I've had in the past concerning purchasing art are now null and void. I'm going to be re-writing the standards on how much commissions cost. Time is at a premium these days, and thus, I have to make sure that I'm not cheating myself. Call this pompous (as I'm sure many of my critics are going to be quick to do) but given the fact that I've got school and a backlog...

Well, let's just say that even after the backlog is cleared, the prices will be raised. Spending 8 hours on a piece and getting essentially tech support wages for it gets a little taxing, especially since it's a lot of work and I'm that much closer to screwing up my wrists in the long term. c_c

Also!

My work is appearing in/has appeared in both the arcade and PS2 releases of In the Groove II. Look for it and stuff. :B

That's it.

	Oh! Is this an good opportunity for me to say \'I liked you better before you sold out\'? Always wanted to have a chance to say that one. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Neh neh. This isn't selling out. This is FURTHERING MY CAREER and padding my resume. ....... Alright, same difference. c_c (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yay! You're selling out! Good for you. I expect you to ride to the next convention in your Caddillac Escalade with diamond encrusted rims. Of course the whole selling out thing really is funny. I mean, it's not like the music on a CD changes whether it's bought by 50 people or 50 thousand. It's just mundanes bitching. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I think we covered this before - this isn\'t selling out, this is a path to success.

If Ashryn suddenly starts drawing soul-less, cutesy, Terrie Smith-clone pinups (instead of the actual interesting work she does now) and thusly makes enough money to buy seven Escalades with backwards-spinning, diamond-laden rims... that\'s selling out.

If she just gets more money for doing her art in her way, that\'s success.

And as far as the people who \"don\'t like X anymore, because everyone else is into it now\"... those are just the folks who have so little personality that they have to use their knowledge of/interest in the obscure to spice up their existance.

	You know, I\'d pay to see Ashryn draw a soul-less, cutesy, Terrie Smith-clone pinup. There\'s just something so wrong with the idea that it\'s brilliant. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I already did a parody of Michelle Light's work. Will that do? :D (funny how I mention Terrie Smith BEFORE I see this comment) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kymri 2005-10-25 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	So very, very true. I actually have a couple pieces of her work that are fabulous. Icewalker is a pastels-on-colored-paper of a non-morphic mountain lion standing on the frozen surface of a stream. It\'s gorgeous. Anyhow, if you did parody Michelle Light... I am afeerd. And I want to see this! (Reply to this)(Parent)

More or less. ;> Honestly, if I WAS selling out completely? I'd be doing what Terrie Smith did/does and copy straight out of Playboy for reference poses. And just, like, do that over and over and over again with bland inking and bland shading.

Which is a shame, because the lady can actually, like, draw outside of her godforsaken DisneylalaElfquest style when she puts her mind to it. But, yes. See: Sellout.

SO AT LEAST I HAVE THAT.

Let's forget that I drew all the ItG stuff in an anime style, kk? :(
