Hey guys, I'm currently mobile right this moment but I've been thinking of holding raffles and auctions to hopefully boost both awareness and profitability. Will probably start doing this when I get off work.

Basic Digital Commissions
Well I've been screwin around on SAI for a couple days and I think I may have set up just the solution for commissioners who desire things digital over traditional!
Nothing too complicated honestly but it will work I believe, and further details about them will be listed of course within the commissioning information sheet provided on the left of my blog.
For right now I just kinda have prices set up as follows:
Basic Digital: $3
Moderate Quality: $5
High Quality: $10
Now what you see here is not set in stone and of course I will take into account content levels and such so don't think you can get an adult level pic for $3. Ain't gonna happen.
Anyway; that's the news for now...until next time!

Big Dilemma, Need Help
It seems I've run into a bit of a problem. This will apply to anyone who wants a Reference Request or Commission from me.
In all the commotion making the information, prices, how they work, so on and so forth, I forgot the most crucial step of this process, getting it on the computer. While I am in possession of a scanner, the paper I use for References is 11" x 14" which is far to large for the scanner I already have to be effective. Which means I have no way of actually providing work to people who ask for this particular service.
My technological background tells me that finding a machine that will satisfy this requirement is next to impossible as one can't find even a legal size scanner for under $500 which there is no way I'm going to save up enough for that, quickly anyway. As it would appear Brother is the only brand name to have come out with a printer that can successfully print and even copy or scan a ledger sized piece of paper (11" x 17") but even a machine such as this is over $200. It would appear that this is my only option (my only affordable option anyway) that won't decrease quality of a picture or increase hassles for the process of a picture. So as an effort to help myself...Commissions, commissions, commissions, I need them. Currently the only real special I'm running is my Magical Girl which is $3. I see I will have to step up the game a bit...
All I have to say is be on the look out for great deals down the road...I'm willing to do what it takes to get this over and done with.
If you have any other words of advice they would be greatly appreciated as well. Please, I really need help with this, internet-goers.

Request and Commission V2 Launch Today
Hey everyone it's a bit of a late night and no one's awake so I don't expect much activity but big news from me tonight, that will be spread throughout the sites. Tonight is the launching of my new requesting and commissioning forms. Where now you won't be redirected to a list of information you simply jot down what you want and hit submit! Nothing can go wrong (I've tried to make sure of that)! In addition to the new launch of these forms there is updated information as well. Shorter and more to the point, as well as the first release of the newly designed Art Package system where you can get up to five commissions at one time and save money by getting up to half off the normal value of a commission!
You guys spoke and I listened and hopefully I found a way that pleases us both. Happy submitting!

Updates and Other Art Opportunities
So the main point behind my last post was to get some ideas about how to really sell myself as a commissioning artist, and thus needed some feedback from the general public. With what I got I believe I will be able to compile something that will be a bit more simple to go by. In accordance with updated information sheets, I will also be doing some things that I've seen that have been becoming steadily more and more popular, like art auctions, where you can bid to have you pic at a specialized picture; raffles, where you can win yourself a pic, free of charge, and probably more!
Anyway, not much to update tonight for now.
