I Have Been Forgetting To Upload This But Here It Is Finally. This Took A Few Months But It Is Complete

How to help an artist:

No, seriously. If you don’t have money to help out an artist financially, the second best thing is to reblog all the things you like. While liking it does tell the artist that “hey I really like this!” It does jack shit because the only ones who will see that are me and you.

Why do you think there are so SO many posts made by people that are literally summed down to “please reblog my artwork I need the notes!”? Because no one reblogs artwork. Unless you’re a ridiculously popular blog with thousands of followers, you’ll only end up getting 1 or no reblogs.

SO HELP OUT ARTISTS AND PLEASE REBLOG OUR ART, BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED THE VIEWS ;V;)/

Is it bad that I think I can generally draw pretty much anything I wanna draw to my standards but when it comes to one of, if not my favorite character of all time...I can't do anything ;_; I always give up or am not satisfied with the result. Hopefully my next attempt will be different D:

I NEED help(commissions) so, so badly, please scroll to the bottom for the gist of things if you don't wanna hear a slight back story of why I need help. I am terrible at networking, severely afraid of people, I break down at everything and can't work any sort of job. My dad is a horribly evil person, he breaks agreements and tries to misinterpretes everything to everyone. My husband and I are struggling so badly. We have so much debt and bills.(yay for in the past, family/roomates who steal info and ruin financial accounts) I cant work, I cant get on SSI, others think im lazy because of it, literally all I can do is create art. He is a literal dictator with how he is, he tricked us into giving him more money then we should for things, we called him out on the lies from proof, but again others agreed with him because he knows how to paint everyone else as the "bad guy". Now he told our landlord he isn't gonna pay the originally agreed upon rent, we had a solid agreement of my husband paying half for me and him and half the rent to my dad, instead he is now claiming he is paying my portion, which we even confronted before moving in and it was all okay (wish people would agree to write contracts) My dad is on a fixed income, SSI, my husband works as much as he can as it is, we can barely afford food or anything as it is, we cant get foodstamps or medicaid because he makes too much and even when we almost were able to it would require me looking for a job which i cannot do at all, i can hardly leave my home. We pay bills every week, we are trying to reduce debt so we can find a place to live on our own, every other place we cant move because our credit scores are so bad (mine is literally 9999, due to never working and gaining bills from others using my name and info for accounts while a kid/teen) I also have celiac disease and cant eat most food there is, especially cheaply without making me feel nauseous, i literally starve myself like it is normal, eating a few spoonfuls of peanut butter a day, or water...(healthy food and food emulating "normal" food is very pricy, example: a loaf of bread is nine dollars.) Maybe a meal when I cook for dinner once in awhile. My dad also cheated us on utilities, and out of 200 I'm supposed to get every month as a home health care person for him, he told the landlord we aren't splitting rent anymore and my husband has to pay double for me I guess. We have nowhere to go, nothing we can do. We stand up to him, we get this happening to us. We are strapped more than it is. ----- I desperately, DESPERATELY, need to start taking commissions, I am so scared, I haven't in so long, my skills are a lot better than they were when I used to, but the art world sees art prices differently now of days, as well as I have many styles and qualities to choose from. What I used to price my art when I was younger, people would tell me I underprice myself, now of days I fear i'd be overpricing from others opinions on the matter, and that is with my current works. I want to post examples but it will just be random stuff I have on my phone. I am unsure of pricing, scared to do so but need to so badly, my life is a constant, living, hell..that gets worse and worse constantly...as in police threats for crying or standing up for myself, eyes spat in, chairs thrown at, etc.

Last submission I made. Is there a no logo thing? I didn't have the slightest idea until I initially submitted, I didn't see it in the initial rules of the contest (I read over it multiple times and am scared I overlooked it.) and I was posting extremely last minute to where I started panicking because Tumblr was erroring like crazy I was worrying I wasn't going to make it.

(My reasons for being so late is because I have literally used every minute I could to work on these and I was putting as much as I could into all of these submissions.) I thought it would be odd if the titlecards had nothing pointing out which game they were supposed to be from. I seen earlier submissions with them so I thought nothing of it either.

I have never submitted anything on Tumblr ever, I actually had to find out where it was.

I hope this is okay, I vectored the "uno" and "cards against humanity" I honestly couldn't hand draw those in time either (I did want to but time was getting low.)

I really apologize if anything possibly breaks the rules for the contest or rules in general.

Submission 4, last entry I finished.

This is for Uno maybe took fiveish hours?

I kept thinking of this sorta scene while watching Minx play Uno, I love how vibrant that game is.

I am highly interested in the paid position as well, 24 years old, US.

(I just realized, I’m not sure if I forgot to tag my last submission.)

More Inktober stuff, lots of brain farts for some of these, eh, still enjoyable :D I never really show my sketchbook stuff, then again I gotta start drawing in em more in the first place, but I have (had) near death pens while drawing all these, had them for awhile, getting new ones soon 8D

This game is freaking eye candy to me, it really is *u*  I added in the actual background because I really liked how that turned out too :o Fullsize version of both pics here~ http://krystami.deviantart.com/art/Xenoblade-511603525 http://krystami.deviantart.com/art/Xenobladethumbnailbg-511602941

Can you guess what is being made?

Hey, regarding what kind of prices you're planning to set for commissions, you could always browse the artists of tumblr to get some rates they charge and base it off that. With that said, I would be fully willing to pay like $40-60 or maybe even $70 for a big art piece like the one you made for crystreams xenoblade chronicles, and maybe $20 for a simpler, sketchier piece. I hope you can get some commissions up and running as soon as possible, good luck and I hope things can turn around soon <3

Thank you for the message, I’ll try to do that I’ve just been trying to pack things into garbage bags right now while being super sick, so I honestly haven’t had the motivation to do so.Ohh, I didn’t realize I never clarified or maybe I was just in a panicked daze, with drawing I have a general idea of how to price my work (I tried making a price list awhile back regarding drawings, it was extremely rushed and I wanna kinda change a lot now that I look at it with how outdated it is in every way haha, as you can see even then I had no clue how to price sculptures, it’s confusing because I’ve had people offer me 10$ for something I spent a lot of time on and then someone else giving me 25$ for a little keychain I made, it’s weird and confusing because everyone has such different values for things.)~the super old price list~http://krystami.deviantart.com/art/Commission-454909332I’m kinda gonna try basing it off what I’ve been paid a few other times and rounding it out from there and trying to keep into account quality improved, time taken, etc.That’s probably one one my favorite drawings I’ve ever done to be honest with you, besides my mecha sup guy and my current bg on here ovo

This one took the longest out of all of them to make, because of those cards for one, rendering so many rectangles really hurts the hands I gotta say....

I also will most likely post like process pics of these since I've learned to start doing that recently...after years..8'D (due to computer issues taking away hours of work to full images or just bad luck in general haha)

Submission 3 (I was barely able to upload due to tumblr errors, was stressing horribly. and am not sure if those errored submissions went through)

For Cards Against Humanity, this took around 30? hours, lost track but have been working on since I found out about the contest.

Cards annoy me now haha, it killed my hand. Still not as rendered as I wanted but I’m content.

Whenever I see these card games I always think of it in like some floaty dimension. :D

Also “Cards Against Humanity” sounds like the ability to destroy humanity with weaponized magic cards so that kept popping in my head.

I am highly interested in the paid position, 24 years old, US, Colorado, freelance artist.

Messy work in progress, sudden inspiration came from nowhere. I have no clue where I'm going with this exactly but I haven't done something like this in awhile and need a more relaxed piece to work on. :D Cry and at least five sup guys hopefully. If I had to say anything, sitting on a cliff while the sun rises in some sorta place, looking over something possibly, like a town or idk.
