My cintiq is starting to die. Since I use the cintiq to bring you CN:H updates, I thought we'd do a donation drive to replace it.
So, all of you who've been hungry for more CN:H per week, now's your chance! All donations go towards the replacement cost.
Commission money will count towards the drive as well once I can open commissions again.

Commissions are now open

Actually, they've been open since the second of this month. I just haven't had a chance to announce it until now. But yes, I am currently open for commissions. I don't have a set limit to how many I'll take just yet - I'll decide based on how many Sketch Cards vs. larger pieces come in. I want to make sure my queue doesn't get overly full. All income goes towards bills and supplies. Yay, bills and supplies!

Commissions are done on Strathmore 100 lb. Bristol. All Sketch Card commissions come with a protective holder.


Commission Prices and Options:
Commissions are currently OPEN for Sketch Cards, Pin-Ups, and Full Background pieces. I am currently not available for Watercolor, Acrylic, Color Pencil, Digital, Comic, Con Badge, or Iron Artist commissions. Please see the Terms of Service for more information.

Ordering:
Please email me a good description of what you'd like me to draw.

A good description includes information and specific details that you feel are essential. Please tell me these. Does your character have any odd markings, scars, or facial characteristics that I should know about? Are any parts of the anatomy like ears, tail, or feet different from how I normally draw them?

While I don't need a full history of your character, a bit of information about their personality helps. I enjoy drawing characters reacting to the world around them. It makes for a more interesting image. Letting me know who they are personality-wise lets me come up with a more fitting expression for them. Please don't assume I'm psychic. Tell me.

References must be received within one week of commissioning me. If you do not get your references in within a week, your commission will be canceled and your money refunded. I can not do my job until you tell me what you want. I'm a busy woman. I do not have the time to hunt you down.

Once I've approved your commission request I'll send an invoice to you via email.

For more information, please read the Terms of Service.

I already have a piece in my queue which I'll start working on the comp sketches for in a bit. The nice thing about commissions is I get to pay a few bills and you all get to see more art. Everybody wins! Woohoo!

For now, I've some leftover teriyaki stir fry calling my name. Must... obey... siren... call.

Thanks guys!

Very cool. Lots of nice work going on there.
Also, just out of curiosity, who's the blonde that Max and Ruby are helping escape?

@Tyler: Thanks! *blush* I want to do those sped-up working videos, but I haven't figured out where to position the camera just yet.

@Anonymous: Thank you! The blonde is Wynnie, Gadel's friend from Astoria. Poor Wynnie. She seems to either be in peril or the cause of it. :D
