I posted this in the dA forum too. Advice?

I just started college and am determined to be in the graphic design field. I am working on a game with my boyfriend who is the programmer of the game(I do the graphics). Since we're partners in this, I'm not paid until the project is done and sells. I'm fine with this as it'll be something to add to a portfolio when I look for other jobs.

Which I did. I applied for a character designing job for a small company overseas--it'll be mostly computer and paypal-paid. I submitted samples of the work I'm doing for the other game. The response was polite praise and questions about how I should be paid. This is my first application to a job of this kind. I've read online of people charging $15-35 per hour starting out. I don't know if that seems too much to charge, but my brother who does 3D character commissions suggested I charge $25 per hour. Is it just me, or is that a bit much?

Besides payment advice, if you have any advice on this career please share your wisdom! =)

College and Stuff

Except for my essay screw up, which I fixed(I was supposed to email my prof my essay draft Friday, but FAU's email is foreign to me so I didn't attach it properly; I ended up sending him a blank email. I recognized the problem today and emailed it properly this time. He accepted it, thank goodness!) everything's turning out ok. My Sociology prof, Gina, said she can write me a letter of recommendation to FSU--which is awesome because she was a graduate student there AND she was a prof there for several years! I'm trying to transfer there for the Spring term.

As far as commissions go...I need lunch money to put into my account(I'm so broke right now, most of my funds all go to food). Again, want anything customized(like shoes, bags, clothes, etc) or want me to draw/paint you something, I'm all for it!

I'm just waiting here in the library for my mom to pick me up. My last class ended at 3:30 and she doesn't get out of work 'til 5:30. I bet now my dad regrets not letting me get my license those couple of years ago; he gets so pissed when I need to get to school or leave. He keeps expecting me to have all this work to do, but honestly...compared to my IB and AP classes, this is all cake(mmm cake). My work is all done. I've read ahead. AND I have pretty easy classes to begin with.

Ok, KaidaFaye out!

I'll do art for you: read on please!

Hey guys--because of the hurricane, my flea marketing opportunity won't be possible this weekend. That said, I'll be accepting commissions--I can do portraits, cartoons, whatever you want. I need to make $100 by Wednesday, so if I get 5 $20 commission slots, I'll be good. Help me out here!

New Piece Here!! Fucking Upload Size Limits...

So, because I was dumb and forgot to make my new piece big enough I'll be posting the new one here:

Me, on a penny! I'm sooooooo worth more than 1 cent though.

Ordered Everything

I went ahead and just ordered everything for my DS. I figured I would have to get it all at some point, might as well do it now that I have the cash to afford it. I'm so excited, I'm gonna hole up and become a pocket gamer again <3 I'll post pictures once everything's here.
