MAH JOURNAL, PEOPLEZ!

Bible Verse:

Proverbs 4:14-19
¹⁴ Do not enter the path of
the wicked,
And do not walk in the way of evil.
¹⁵ Avoid it, do not travel on it;
Turn away from it and pass on.
¹⁶ For they do not sleep unless they have
done evil;
And their sleep is taken away unless they
make someone fall.
¹⁷ For they eat the bread of wickedness,
And drink the wine of violence.

¹⁸ But the path of the just is like the shining sun,
That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
¹⁹ The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know what makes them stumble.



Please, if you could, take some time to read until the end. I'd greatly appreciate it. =3



Yes, I have returned from my trips. =3
And I had a FANTASTIC time!!
Falls Creek was pretty awesome. I enjoyed hanging out with friends and such. =3 However...goin' up to see ~Thyself was freakin' EPIC!! It was a lot of fun hanging out with him and his family the whole week. ^_^ We were very glad to see each other! Now, we're starting to consider the next trip! Hopefully it's soon!

Now, to business.
And by business, I mean business.
You see, now that Thyself and I have met, we want to try to get together roughly every six months, rather than waiting a full year. However, our families' finances might not be able to keep up with everyday life, school, and the trips. So, Thyself and I are on a mission to raise the money on our own. That means we've gotta get to workin' hard and sellin' stuff. Below are some ideas we're considering to take into action.
Dear people of deviantART, this is cereal.
And by cereal, I mean serious.

So let's get to business! >:3

One idea is to start up commissions. Prices would most likely start out cheap, but there'd be special prices included. Take a look at the lil' list I got hur:

Basic sketch (one character/subject)..........$3.00
Ex. [link]
Inked sketch (one character/subject)..........$4.00
Ex. [link]
Realism (one character/subject)..........$5.00
(The below additions apply to all of the above)
Add character - $.25 extra per character
Add shading - $.50 extra
Add color (no ink; traditional) - $.50 extra
Add background - $.50 to $1.50 extra (depending on difficulty)
Acrylic painting..........See below
NOTES:
The above prices are subject to change slightly depending on media used and/or other reasons.
Customers will have top priority. Commissions will be finished and submitted according to the sequence they have been paid.
I will not accept commissions with sexual themes (including the support of homosexual or bisexual themes), racism, themes that support the use of drugs or alcohol, or anything along those lines. If any of these are requested, an option to change the idea of the commission will be given upon customer's request.

Okay, so maybe it wasn't a lil' list. But I'm sure you got the point.
Anyhoo...
~Thyself might join in, too, that way both of us could work towards it. Some things he would be willing to do are stories, flash animations/stuff, and digital drawing/coloring (as well as traditional drawing ^_^). For moar info on that, holla over in his bubble. =3
...In other words, send him a note. Don't really hunt him down and shout in his face. Or I'll hunt you down. >:U

A second thing I want to do is start painting some pieces to sell. These pieces would be some I come up with, rather than someone else (unless it's my partner in cri-I mean...buisness. ). They would probably range from about $15.00-$30.00 to begin with, based on time, quality, and favorability. I'm already starting some draft sketches for some. I plan on selling these pieces at art shows, flea markets, etc. as well as the internet. Tell me if any of you are interested in these, too. =3
Prints may also be available, depending on whether or not I can get some decent ones.

and I are considering making a comic to raise money as well. Customers would either pay to see it virtually, or to purchase copies (depending on what we decide to do). The comic might be Thyself's Story* or something else; we haven't quite gotten to that yet. We just want to know how many would be interested.

If any of you have any ideas as to what else we could do to raise money, or if you're interested in helping out, you can contact either ~Thyself or I, whether it be by e-mail, note, comment, or whatever.
Your help would just be fancy. =3

Just remember, y'all, most of these plans are still being considered, meaning they haven't really taken off yet. We'll be sure to tell you when that takes place. We just wanted to see how many of you would be interested, or if any of you had suggestions.

Thanks for reading! 'Tis much appreciated! ^_^

* If you would like to read Thyself's Story:
[link] - Volume 1
[link] - Volume 2
Also, take note there are some research journals to go along with Volume 1, which can be found in ~Thyself's gallery.

Signing out!
