Here is where you may obtain information if you would like to do an art trade or collaborate with me on a piece. Quite honestly, it would depend on how I'm feeling either way.
Note me if you wan to do this or have questions.

Trades


• You must note me if you'd like to trade art.
  
  
• There is more information below, but feel free to ask if you'd like something else. Or if you have any questions pertaining to something that isn't already addressed.
  I'm fairly open to suggestions.
  
  
• I will not trade art for lesser quality or lesser work.
  Ex: No colored work in trade for lineart. No detailed work in trade for quickies. Basically, I'd like even trades.
  
  
• Generally, I will only trade art in the same medium. Just request a medium and I will accept if it is a medium I am fine with working with. (Digital coloring (photoshop and flash/ pen/ pencil/ Art Markers) If you prefer one medium and would like to trade for a different medium, just note me and we may be able to work something out.
  
  
• Once we've both accepted to trade, we will find a timeframe to complete the work in. That way we don't fall behind/ forget/ work on it forever/ etc. The time frame will be something we are both okay with. This is only because I'd like to keep a good schedule for myself.
  
  
• WIP. I ask that we show each other our WIPs at least twice before the completed work. That way we both can see what's going on. Also, I request that we keep in contact through the note system. This is for your benefit and mine.
  This is not because I have anything against anyone. For the most part, I am sure my fellow artists are good sports. I have had theft of my art occur, and I am still a bit wary. Though, I highly doubt it'll occur through trades, this is a good way for the both of us to know what's going on through the process.
  
  
• We can cover anything else through notes. Also, feel free to ask me any questions you have. As stated, I am open to suggestions.
  
  
• I will not trade 3d models at this time. Why? I am currently working on a 3d project and time spent on 3d modeling will be utilized for that.
  
  Please, do not request an art trade unless you are certain you want one. I do not want to put a lot of work into something, only to find it was for nothing. That is not fair to me or my time. Just as it would not be fair to you or your time If I'd done the same.

  Collaborate
  
  
• Much of the same as trades apply to this. I am open to any questions or suggestions you may have, just note me.
  
  *Note: If you would just like me to color one of your linearts, or you'd like to color one of mine, just note me. This is still collaboration, but under different guidelines. The below doesn't specifically apply for this. (Other than note communication and written permissions.) We can discuss this over notes though.
  My art is not free to color. You must obtain written permission. Unless it is stated in the image that you may ask to color, permission likely will not be given.
  
  
  
• Collaborations are only open to those I am familiar with.
  - Those I've had conversations with.
  - People on my friends list.
  - People I watch.
  - People who watch me. (Whom I've chatted with.)
  - Friends, etc
  Sorry, If I don't know you, I likely won't collaborate with you. This is because it's a "team" effort and I'd like to have a good sense of whom I'm working with. But hey, feel free to note me. (I may be a bit intimidating, but as long as you don't tick me off, I'm alright.)
  
  
• We will need to choose a general timeline so that we aren't working forever. This will also need to include how long before we send files to each other. It'll likely be estimated and not specific.



• We will communicate progress through notes. That way we both have a record. Transfer of files likely through e-mail though.
  
  
• Before starting, as with anyone, we will need to decide what we will be working on, who starts it off, the mood to the image, etc. All the basics.
  
  
• Any other questions/concerns? Note me.
  



• I will not collaborate on 3d modeling.
  

Please, do not request to collaborate unless you are certain you want to. I do not want to put a lot of work into something, only to find it was for nothing. That is not fair to me or my time. Just as it would not be fair to you or your time If I'd done the same.

Here is where you may obtain information if you would like to commission art from me. I am strict with this, as it is business. However, if you are confused or have any requests or questions, note me.
Please read below before commissioning work though.

Do not request to commissions unless you are certain you want one. I do not want to put a lot of work into something, only to find it was for nothing. That is not fair to me or my time. Just as it would not be fair to you or your time If I'd done the same.

Commission Information:


• I will only have a waiting list of 3 people for now. This is not including the current commissioned piece I am working on.
  
  
• Communication will be handles through notes and through and through e-mails with proper cc. That way we both have a copy of the process for future reference. I will not accept consultation through any other means. This is because I want adequate proof of the process.
  
  
• I will do fantasy art and any OCs. Specifics need to be given through notes. This includes use. (Cd covers, book covers, wallpaper, illustration, etc) Basically I just need to know if you need it a specific size. Otherwise I will do it however seems fine.
  
  
• I will not do pre-existing characters (from comics/ movies/ novels/ games/ etc) that you, as the customer, do not personally own.
  
  
• Depending on what you want from me, I will need a reference image or a detailed description.
  
  
• Art will be drawn in pencil or pen. (If pencil, it will be inked.)
  Colored versions will be scanned, and colored digitally (photoshop).
  Sometimes I will have commissions with other medium open: Charcoal, marker, colored pencil, Paint [gouache, acrylic, or watercolor]
  
  
• Time for completing the work depends on what you want done and it's complexity.
  Allotted time frame can be anywhere from 1 day - 3 months. This all depends on our communication and it often finished sooner rather than later.

• I will consult with you over a variety of sketches so that we may determine what you want.
  - The sketches will remain my property completely and are not given as part of the commission. They are not free for use, nor are they to be given to other artists for derivative works without my written consent. Once we've decided on a sketch for the piece, 1/2 payment must be given for further progress.
  
  
• Once I show you the completed drawing, you are permitted to request changes as you see fit until satisfied.
  Pieces not chosen will remain my property completely. (I will not retain any ownership or rights to your characters and will therefore not make any profit off of the piece.) However, without written consent and license, you will not make any profits off of any work other than the completed work, and such pieces will remain under my ownership.
  
  
• Once we have agreed on the finished drawing to be colored, and I have begun the coloring process, I will not accept any major changes to the drawing. No changes to the drawing will be accepted after first two colored WIPs are shown.
  
  
• As the coloring progress is made, I will accept requests to color and texture changes as long as they are within reason. These must be requested as you are provided with work in progress images. Large changes will not be accepted after the wip for that section is shown. (That is like asking me to recolor it.)
  - Small changes will be accepted. As well as those between the last given wip and provided piece.
  
  
• Once we are happy with a completed version. That will be the piece you are given. The watermark over the piece will be removed upon final payment, and you will be provided with the full resolution file, as well as use license. (Layers will have been merged into one. File will be in .psd, .png, .jpeg, or whatever file you request that I am able to provide.
  This file will be sent through e-mail or other file sharing means depending on the size.
  

  ---

  
  
  
• A © watermark will be present until final piece is presented, after payment. My signature will remain on it as that will have been done during drawing process.
  
  
• We will consult about how you plan to use the piece before the process begins.
  Once we do this, you may opt to sign a license to use the piece once I upload it to deviant art.
  Or, if we have other arrangements, a license or permission statement will be sent to you. The License requires your signature as well.
  What you are given depends on how you plan to use the image. Advertising, profit, reproduction, or personal. And whether you plan to alter it.
  This is important as it is what states how you are able to use the piece and is legal proof that it was made for you. However, depending on how you plan to use/keep the image, it may be a simple written consent, signed and given by me with the finished piece.
  
  
• I will not make changes to the piece once I have presented you with the final piece. If something is bothering you a lot, you may ask me to. (Although, things like that will likely have been taken care of through the WIP process.)
  I do not have to agree to make any changes after this point if I do not want to.

• Payment will usually be handled through paypal unless we have come to another arrangement.
  I request payment as follows:
  1/2 Once we've agreed on a sketch and I've started the work.
  1/2 Once the work is finished and before handing over completed piece.
  Refunds are not given be sure you want art before ordering. I will not spend hours of work for free.
  
  
• Depending on the work (size, medium, supply prices, etc) and intended use, Prices will range between $10 - $200 A chart will be supplied below once I've opened commissions properly. The price will be agreed upon by both of us before work starts. So don't worry, price is final and I will not change it on you.

  We must agree on what is being done before work starts. I will keep all notes for reference.
  
  Ask me if you are confused about ANYTHING, or if you need more information.
  
  Also, never assume that you will get something that hasn't been stated here or in our correspondence, ask first. That way, we both know what is to be done.
  
  I retain copyrights to all work that I do. I will not sell copyright, just provide a license or permission document for you, and no one else, to use it.
  
  I do not mean to be daunting. These rules are meant to protect you and me. I will state again; do not be afraid to ask me anything about this process.
  
  

Okay, so this journal is here to provide information on contests and related information.
The info will be posted here. Other contests that I will Be participating in (be it by entering or providing rewards) will be posted below as well.

Is having a contest for 100k pageviews.

I will be giving art as one of the prizes for first place winner. I'll post more info about that below.
If you are a member of the club and feel you need something to do, perhaps you should participate. Or you can give a prize.
