Bust Commissions! [CLOSED]
Edit: COMMISSIONS CLOSED! ALL SLOTS HAVE B
----------------------------------------
I am desperate to get a new Wacom Tablet. I don't normally do commissions lately, but I will draw $25 bust portraits (shoulders and head) for 15 people in the same style as I did my recent 'Bodyguard' comic. Smooth painterly faces and graphic stylized hair. If you prefer, I can also go full-on with the graphic style and make the flesh cel-shaded looking as well.
Unfortunately, because I don't have a tablet right now, you will have to pay me first so I can buy the tablet, and once I have it I will immediately begin work on the busts.
If you have no idea what my 'Bodyguard' comic looks like, here are four pages. I can't show one of them because it has bewbs and photobucket doesn't like bewbs:
Well, okay, but what if you can't find 15 people willing to pay you 25$?
What I will do is display a list from 1-15 online and no one will pay anything until we reach offer number 15. This will ensure that the quota is met before anyone pulls out their wallets. If it turns out that some folks back out or don't pay at the very last second, I will either refund everyone their money or bite the bullet and pay of the rest of the difference depending on how many people bailed out.
How would I be paying you anyway?
I has a Paypal account! We can work things out through that. :3
Let's say you DO reach offer number 15 and buy the tablet. What happens then?
I start working on the commissions in the order that they were offered to me. I will make a rough sketch of your character's head and send it to you for approval. If I get your approval, I move right along to the fun coloring stage. If you don't approve and want changes, I'll redo the sketch with the changes you suggested and show it to you again.
I will only go through the approve/change process a maximum of 3 times (so we don't get stuck fiddling over the image forever), so if you don't like what you see, please try to examine the image carefully and pin-point exactly what bothers you about the picture rather then saying "I don't like it, but I'm not sure why." This will just turn Luri into a sad, sad panda.
Once the bust is done, I'll send it over for final approval. This is when you can ask me to do a few minor tweaks that you'd like to see. Once the final tweaks are done, I send you a web-version and a ginormously huge high-rez version so you can make an 8.5 x 11 print of your bust later on if you'd like.
I'd make prints of the busts myself, but I haven't found a print shop in the area yet that won't charge me an absurd amount, which would just make the costs of your commissions painfully high.
I'm interested! What do I do?
Send me an e-mail (Lurial at gmail.com) with a description of your character's physical appearance, personality, any references you might have of how they look, sometimes brief backstories can be spiffy too.
If you have an exact vision in mind for your bust, you can also tell me specifics on how you'd like it to look, like the angle of their head, their facial expression, background color, etc. Conversely, if you'd like to leave it all up to me to make up based upon the information you gave me on your character, that's fine too.
