Well, today was not as productive as it could have been. I'm working on some fox paws and a Windstone PYO commission. Also did just a tiny bit of work on a pony, because you've got to have fun projects too, right? I have the horse suit close to done, and have made a little progress on the panther and the sheep recently, which I hope to get both of those well along their way before I leave on the 18th. Also I finished off a winged fox plush, so that's one thing out of the way, at least.






Tari did not approve of the big fox being in her space.

was there a pic?

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

There was supposed to be. *pokes it* Ah, found the problem and fixed.

ooh was the fox a commission?? its gorgeous! :D

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Yup, it was a custom commission I auctioned off on ebay a few months back when I was really broke. It came out very nicely! Though the wings tend to want to flop over, even though I put a wire in them.

i think it turned out fantastic! how much did you end up getting for that? (if its not too bold to ask?)

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

$200. Which I'm pretty pleased with. *grins*

Wow I love the plushie! *hearts* :) I can afford a stuffed animal at that price, but I am going to shoot you a e-mail with a possible commission :)

Thanks!

You haven't forgotten my commission, have you?

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Heh. No, I haven't forgotten it.

But to be perfectly honest with you, I am dreading working on it. I just do not get joy out of art commissions. I've sworn I'd never take another one again, and three times I've let somebody talk me into it, and I regret all three now.

You might be better off getting a refund and taking the money to a real artist.

[lightgreendryad.livejournal.com]

I understand that. I'd be willing to take a refund, but I've been really looking forward to this piece. Do you recommend anyone who would take the same money for the same commission? I just don't have any resources.

I'd want the same peice done, and I'm warning you, I'd use your wyvern sketches to illustrate what I want to some other artist.

If you could find me someone else who might do the same kind of work for the same pay, I'll take the refund. If you're dreading it that much...

I might as well have you work a little bit for the hassle you give me. Because, you know, you're such a burden, SPark. :D

Heh. I really can't say for sure who would be the best person to do it for you. Ashley Vercekaites, who did my Guardian dragon picture, and Blood and Fire cover art, is excellent and not too horribly expensive, you could ask her for a quote. Her e-mail is noisy_mouse at yahoo.com if you want to ask her about it.

Awww, so cute and purply. Winged fox plushie is so adorable!

Heh, Tari found a friend! Er, maybe. ;) That's a very neat fox.
