 I have a lot more experience making art than selling it lol… I’ve done fun commissions for free and stuff, but nothing for sale

Well, that’s a little more experience than I have. The most I have done others is cards. XD

You could charge for your stuff though. It’s really good! Your style is so distinctive. I love look…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Thank you for the resources!

I come from a photographer’s family, so we have actually used Adobe PhotoShop for years. Unfortunately,  the license went out of date and we got to find out why so many people grump about it. O.O

I’ve heard about ProCreate from a calligraphy site I follow too. I might look into it.

@linus-smallprint

Being an illustrator is one of my ambitions as well. I’ve never been commissioned to do anything yet. I did talk to one publishing company… but my art style did not fit the needs of the author they have…. (Once I have a few interior illustrations for my book that I am satisfied with, I will send them over to this company a…

Oh my. Y’all are amazing.

I’m going to work through and comment in a bit.

Sypher

He followed the two girls, happy to have found someone that didn’t tower over him. Not that he was short. Some of these students were simply far overgrown.

Which made walking in their midst highly uncomfortable. Syph sidestepped a blundering youth, sending him a scalding glare as he slipped away.

The hallway was…[Read more]

Also, a question I have for everyone.

What have you used to digitize art? I do analog/traditional art, so I would need to scan or photograph it. But I have noticed a bit of distortion when I do.

@ellette-giselle

It’s ok! I’m prone to rambling myself.

It’s my understanding that charging by the hour per work is typical. So paid by the hour, but within the confines of the specific illustrations.

However, I would probably charge per illustration for just on here. (Which would be the only illustration jobs I would probablybd doing for a…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ah! It’s perfect! I love the contrast between the two characters, on top of their similarities.

*stuff a bunch of questionsabout digitizing art back into my mouth*

*stalks the art thread*

@ellette-giselle

Wouldn’t it be?

I would love to illustrate for you! I was actually considering starting out doing some smaller jobs for KPers just to see how I liked it and to help out. Prices for a typical professional are well above what most of us can afford. ($2,000+)

@whalekeeper

Welp. I’m not really a professional either. So this will…[Read more]

@esther-c

Ugh, yes. Today at work I realized a little kid was watching me out of the corner of his eye. It was really obvious. Now I keep wondering what it looks like when I do it.

@theducktator

Absolutely! I do it in class and at work too. Or at church and conferences. It can get really distracting. O.O XD

You might be an author if you randomly eavesdrop on strangers so you can get story ideas.

@loopylin

Ah, that would explain it a bit.

@loopylin

Okay, the Starlight song, what is the story behind those lyrics? Because those last few lines seemed to get really specific…

@grcr

If you did a comic, I’d pay to read it.

*snort*

@whalekeeper

XD

All people are weird in their own way, some more dramatically than others. It’s the “normal” ones that usually scare me.

@ellette-giselle

Because we’re right there with you. XD

But aren’t we all a little crazy? I mean, that’s at least what writers joke about…
