COMMISIONS OPEN, HALF PRICE SALE ON EVERYTHING
News

I well and truly hate living so far away from my fiancé, even though it means I get to go to goldsmiths. Every day I have to wonder whether it is worth staying here. But he is so understanding and wants me to stay and do my course.

We recently celebrated his 21st birthday and for his birthday present I got him tickets to the MPH Show featuring TOP GEAR LIVE. [link] its going to be so great. I cant wait to go with him. we will be there on the 8th nov at earls court in London. I will be bringing back loads of pictures of the show and it is all a bit exciting.

In other news I have joined Shredder0625's heaven or hell contest. It’s a good one and can be found here [link] I recommend everyone to join, the prizes are immense.

I am working towards dong my very first pixel art piece, which I shall also be storing step by step so that I can make a tutorial thing at the end of it. I hope that if I do that I shall be able to help anyone else starting a pixel work for the first time as I will also be learning as I go along.

I am also opening a commissions auction and bidding. There are 5 slots available as seen below. The opening bid for each slot regardless of type is £1.00/$1.50 so if you are lucky you could get a fully painted image for £1.00/$1.50. I haven’t decided when bidding is to close but it is likely to last about a month. At the end of the month the highest bidders for each slot will be the winners and I will contact them to arrange the commissions. For these commissions postage and packaging will be charged to the winners and not covered by me. To bid on a slot either note me or comment on this journal stating your price and which slot you are bidding for. As an added bonus the overall highest bidder will receive an A5 coloured drawing as a way of my thanks.

Slot 1 : postcard fully coloured (lines and coloured using pencil colours) single characters
Slot 2 : A4 fully coloured (pencil) with lines drawing, single character
Slot 3 : A4 fully coloured (pencil) with lines drawing, single character
Slot 4 : A4 fully coloured (pencil) with lines drawing, multiple characters

first 9 get featured

1) Be one of the first 9 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the Promotional List

2) For each of the 9 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list.

3) If you answer, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing this way the list with 10 people. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

i'm looking forward to seeing some new work and exploring some new galleries so get posting! sadly i don't have a pro account so you'll have to follow a lot of links, but i promise it's worth it.

hellhound news
I am working towards starting production of my first hellhound, by the name of alchemy, for my fine art side of my course. I am in the process of acquiring materials and drawing out templates so that I can get a skeleton fabricated.

these characters will still be available for free sponsorship, which means that if you want to sponsor one, you can draw the hellhound as much as you want and there will probably be regular newsletters and official art from me via deviantart messaging and also art uploads. I will also probably be putting up a general reference sheet for the species so that you can also create your own Hellhound.
