Commissions Are OPEN

My Commission Info
Hello all, I am a working part-time college student who likes to draw in my spare time. In all honestly the main reason I make commissions is for practice, and to pursue that noble enterprise of becoming a better artist. The money I make is just a nice bonus (that helps pay for food and rent 8D).

Tools of the Trade
I use a pencil for rough sketches, and occasionally serious pieces. But the majority of my work is done with a digital tablet and my favourite program, Adobe Flash.

Prices and Examples
Sketches
$10
Steambot by Shmuggly Electricbot by Shmuggly Forgotten Robot Designs by Shmuggly

Digital linework without colour
$15
Izzy and Kabuterimon - no colours by Shmuggly Dark Haunted House - The frightening by Shmuggly

Digital work with colour
$20 usually,
But if you're asking for a ton of characters and a really big detailed background, I'll understandably have to charge you a bit more.
Matt's Dragon by Shmuggly Sableye Tessellation by Shmuggly Harold and Gargles by Shmuggly Mary and the angel by Shmuggly Postcard by Shmuggly

Full-on comics
$60
Black Cave - The illumination by Shmuggly Dark Haunted House - The Escape by Shmuggly Sky Blue Hill - The Thrilling Pichu Rescue by Shmuggly

Payment and Payment Methods
Paypal is a trusted, easy to use method of payment that is best for these sorts of on-line transactions. I require half payment upfront, in which I will give you a pixelated watermarked piece. When I recieve the other half of the payment, I'll email you the work of art. I believe this is pretty typical for Deviantart commission.

Rules/FAQs
1. First all, it's a good idea to check out my Deviantart gallery. I'm still not the best artist, and it should be pretty clear what I'm good at an what kind of style I regularly draw with. That being said, I will draw you anything you ask for with the absolute best of my ability, just keep in mind I haven't had much practice drawing some things.

2. I won't draw porn or anything sexual. Personal preference.

3. I reserve the right to turn down commissions. I haven't yet, but I there might be a situation in the future, so I'll put this here to cover my butt.

4. I reserve the right to put your commission in my gallery and use it to advertise how awesome I am. If I make you a commission, you can do with it what you like, just make sure you credit me.

5. I have a job and go to school, so I'm giving myself extra time in case something comes up, but this is typically how long it takes me:
Sketches: 1-2 days
Digital lineart without colour: 1-2 days
Digital work with colour: 2-4 days
Full-on comic: depends on the length, anywhere from 4-8 days

6. If you would like to commission me, simply give me reference pictures or a block of text describing what you would like. I will correspond with you daily to update you on my progress on the work of art. I've never actually made a full-on comic for anyone, but I am going to need tons of info from you, and I'll give you the storyboards for you to approve and go over beforehand.


People Who Have Commissioned Me
1. I made Matt's Dragon for Matt, but sadly he's not a Deviantart member(yet).


Total credit goes to DarlingMionette for her amazing commissions journal guide that I pretty much just copied.

Pulp Fiction

2 min read
So lately I've been trying to dissect that special brand of humor that makes Pulp Fiction what it is. How are the seemingly bland and everyday conversations that the characters engage in so interesting and amusing? I've been wondering because I want to recreate in a comic one day, but keep struggling in the script-writing phase. So after thinking a bit, these are the reasons I think that the verbal interactions in that movie are so amazing:
- they get into these bizarre topics slowly at first, so it takes a while for you to figure out that they've totally gone off topic into something incredibly odd
- the absurdity of the subjects they're talking about considering their circumstances, where they are, and what they do
- the actors are just amazing and charismatic people, and you want to learn more about the characters they play

It's probably a combination of all these things. I feel like only after a lot of writing will I be able to tap into the hilarious irony and dark humor that defines Pulp Fiction. Maybe one day I'll be able to do it, who knows right?

Hi Everyone

So after a long hiatus, I am back.
I first took a break to move houses, and then stayed away to focus on schoolwork. But now I'm back, and I want to give a real try at commission work. I've never done it, but It could be fun right? Anyways, I look forward to updating more often regardless of what happens. Have a great day all,
Shmuggly
