Yeah I don't know how I do it. I actually finished 3 commissions for Gaia in one day! Then I got them all up and the big golden bucks came rolling in. I use watercolor and colored pencils. The colored pencils really add a more vibrant touch, and then the watercolors are great for backgrounds and a more soft tone.
What do you use to color them? I usually use watercolors, but they don't always very bright (maybe I'm not using them properly lol? >_<), but I really like how vibrant the colors are~ ^w^
I don't know, I don't get happy for them, I actually feel more sorry for the people who waste their money on it o__o I mean, they could find something so much better if they just continue looking around ya know?
or even just regular commishes like that, I charge around 10€, which is not pricey for my work, but then I see people who can't even draw stick figures selling theirs for 30€ O.o And they actually get a lot of business, I am happy for them, I just find it weird xD
Thanks! There are people on Gaia who really overprice their things though. Like, I saw this girl whose artwork wasn't even that great and she was chargin 400k!! I was blown away by that
I can't send you my link because my school doesn't allow access to Gaia, but my screen name is Captain Teapot. The shop link is under my signature XD I hope to see you on there as well
LOl really? You will give me your gold? I always need gold girl! Lol but with 40k you can pimp out your avatar pretty well. Don't you want her to look awesome??? XD
PFFFFFFFFT A@#$#QXGHFCV KJ>GHBJ MARIEL!! WTF? You should be charging atleast 40k for a lineart!! Your art is awesome and I bet you would do awesome avi characters as well
Lol how often do you go on there?? You really think 60k is too cheap?? I was like, better not overdo it, because I mean...it might not be THAT great. Compared to the digital artists o__o They're like...super good
It really reminds me of something from Carnival from Trinidad and Tobago (my mom is from there). Its so cute!!!!! (How can you draw such cuteness?) The pose you have her in is darling, and I love the hat!!
Tektek.org is a site where you can make dream avatars and stuff (which Gaia's items); you don't have the avatar, but it sets a goal for yourself. And tektek contests is where you make the best dream avatar and win a prize. :3
The most I've won in one of those contest was around 100k. But it was hard. e_e
Aww thanks for telling me it's worth it. I dunno, people seem to think it's a reasonable price. I got like, 3 new customers yesterday XD I already finished one and I have to start on the other 2. I should have them ready. I have like, 1 day delivery service or something!!
What really!? I am not really her friend, she just found me and asked me to draw her avatar. I took it up, because man, drawing gaia avatars and OCs is the easiest and fastest way to get money! Then I can spank up my avi and pimp her out with the coolest clothes. It's very exciting. I'm going to add you, don't worry about that.
