This is for me, really...I don't want to forget about these things, now that they're being discussed. And if I write it down, I'll lose it.
-Favours - ????
-Honeymoon Cruise - Princess or Royal Caribbean Lines? Undecided
-Reception
-Location? Backyard maybe, reception probably elsewhere |

Long time no see, kids. I've been reading all your journals though :) Werd. So, I haven't posted on LJ in a long time. Perhaps an update is in order.
Condensed version: Got a job. Got a cat. New tattoos and piercings. New friends, old friends, DRAMA LLAMA LIKE WHOA.
Now, let's see what I can remember from the last 5 months.
( Job. )
( Cat. )
( Mods. (Yes there are pics) )
( Pals and Gals. )
( BOOBIES!! ) |

I took my little sister and her friend to get pierced this afternoon, and because I've brought in so many people, I got one for freee! I just got my rook done, but I love it! **happy Shiin** Things are so much better when they're free. |

| Oh Lord. Good AND Bad news :D |
[May. 9th, 2007|12:41 pm] |
Financial woes. Our rent went up at the end of our lease (only by 17 dollars), so I had to fill out a new direct withdrawl form. However it was not processed in time for May, so I had to pay May's rent with a money order. Not so bad...except that apparantly I have to CANCEL the direct withdrawl...which I did not, because I didn't know I had to...they gave me a paper that said 'your rent is going up so fill this out and hand it in' so I did... I paid the rent on the 30th of April, and on the 1st of May, F.J.M. Properties Inc. withdrew $675 from my $84 bank account, then returned the check thanks to non-sufficient funds. $37.50 in BANK non-sufficient funds fees later, I don't have enough to pay this month's bills. Then I find out that the stupid fucks at F.J.M properties also charge a NSF fee of $25!! AND it's my turn to buy groceries... I can hardly pay $78 worth of bills and buy $100 worth of groceries with $21 dollars...
GOOD NEWS! :D I have two new jobs. I'm a cashier at Farm Boy, which is an Ottawa based grocery store. Unfortunately, I don't start until the 20th of May...which means my rent is coming off the ol' credit card this month, as my first pay won't be until June. I'm also not sure how long I will be there...not because I will want to leave, but because of the uniform policy...tattoos and piercings are out. I'm allowed to have a retainer in my eyebrow instead of removing and replacing it on breaks, since my hair covers it. That's the other problem though - my hair (no more blue :( ). Cashiers are supposed to tie back shoulder-length or longer hair, and mine is long enough that it can be tied. The problem lies in my ear piercings and neck tattoos...I'm only allowed 1 stud earring in each ear (I have 5/6 piercings in my left ear and 4 in my right), which I probably could remove for work, but if I tie back my hair, my tattoos are extremely visible. Uniform shirt covers the one on my chest. I'm really not complaining, I changed my appearance a lot to find a job as soon as possible, but I'm worried they might fire me over something I can't get rid of (my neck tattoos) even though I had them when they hired me, you know?
Other GOOD NEWS: I also have a job at Wal-Mart. I have no idea when I start, or what I do XD I'm fairly certain that I am a cashier, and I do the paperwork on friday. I know that Wal-Mart is pretty lax with their uniform policy in terms of piercings and tattoos, at least, based on what I've seen...when I was there last week for the interview, I saw a cashier with a bridge and lip piercings, and a sales guy with a HUGE tattoo creeping up his neck. I don't think I'll have a problem there =p
OTHER OTHER GOOD NEWS: In an effort to help me pay my bills this month, I've been selling stuff on HH and so far made enough to pay the internet bill... HUGE thanks to halocaustic for helping me out by buying something :D You're my hero this week! I'm also expecting a nice chunk of change sometime in the next week or so, my aunt's hairdresser wants me to make something geisha-esque for his granddaughter, to put on her wall. I REALLY hope that doesn't fall through. |

| [Custom Artwork - Digital] |
[May. 2nd, 2007|06:53 pm] |
Well, now I've got everything back in order, I am able to offer digital commissions again. My lovely new computer has made this much faster for me, and I am anxious to do a whole pile of artwork for my portfolio/business, so LAY IT ON ME! =p
This is what I am presently offering:
100% digitally created artwork, based on your instructions. Your piece will be created in either a combination of Flash and Photoshop, or Photoshop only. Original characters, fanart, portraits of you or your friends, website logos and mascots, are all allowed. As well as some things I may have forgotten to mention.
Base Prices are as follows:
CHIBI (See samples 1-3, 5)
Sketch: $5
Lineart (see sample #s 5): $10
Flat Colour (no background and very basic colour application): $15
Full Colour (includes abstract background and full shading): $20
NOT CHIBI (See sample 4)
Sketch: $5
Lineart (see sample 4): $13
Flat Colour (no background and very basic colour application): $18
Full Colour (includes abstract background and full shading): $25
Discounts available on multiple orders.
As these commissions will be 100% digital (whereas previously I drew+inked on paper, scanned, then coloured) it will not be possible to mail the originals to you, unless you purchase a high-quality print. Prints come in the following sizes:
- 8.5x11" - standard printer paper size. $5 each, discount for additional copies.
- 11x17" - a nice size for a mini-poster. (If you want a print this size, you'll HAVE to let me know in advance so I can do the drawing large enough.) $8 for one, discount for additional copies.
On to the examples! All of these pieces were 100% digital, so they are accurate representations of what you will be receiving.
( Samples )
All artwork pictured is © to either myself or the person it was created for.
If you are interested in ordering, or have any questions, please contact me via e-mail to scurvy.dog.shiin[at]gmail.com. Be sure to let me know what you are after, and I will give you an accurate quote.
Traditional work is still available, but digital seems to be what everyone is always after. The option is there however, so please contact me if you are interested in that. |

:( I had asthma when I was younger but it went away...
Turns out I have asthma again... I'm back on inhalers... rescue for now (only when I need it) but if I find myself using it a lot, when I go back in a month she's putting me on a maintenance inhaler instead.
BAH. Just what I need. |

EVEN BETTER NEWS LIVEJOURNAL!!!
I HAVE A NEW COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a Tablet PC.
My Daddy came through for me in the end. We got it at the Canex here on base, and since he's military, he can get it through payroll deductions. Since we chose a 3 year plan, the payments are something I can afford (about $62 a month). I've also paid off about $800 of the total(including taxes). I'll be paying him what I can when I can until it's all paid off.
That is all.

| You know I'm Broken...Need Help |
[Mar. 7th, 2007|11:19 pm] |
So as I mentioned in my last post, my computer is broken, wont be fixed, etc...
In any case, I am taking real-media ONLY commissions to help pay for the little things like food and my website hosting/domain so I can save up the rest of my money for a new computer. I will be offering real media only - can't do digital without a computer :\ Since they are real media, they are more expensive. They take more time, and burn through expensive supplies.
Prices are as follows (all prices are USD!!):
Chibi
Sketch: $3
Ink: $5
Colour Ink: $8
Full-Colour: $13
Full-Colour AND Colour Ink: $15
Background: Add $3
Regular
Sketch: $5
Ink: $8
Colour Ink: $11
Full-Colour: $18
Full-Colour AND Colour Ink: $20
Background: Add $5
I also do more traditional anime/manga style artwork, that is, 'full-sized' art like this: http://extra-muffins.com/AsukaP.jpg But it is even more pricey, so e-mail me for a quote if you are interested in this.
Please note that colour ink refers to the outlines on your drawing being in colour ONLY, the drawing will not be coloured.
If you would like me to mail you your artwork, please add an extra $3...that's the average cost to send anywhere in the world.
I prefer Paypal, but will also accept money orders, checks, and concealed cash AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Here are some fairly recent (some unfinished) examples: Unfortunately the scans are not the best, I am really quite proud of the colouring in these but it doesn't look nearly as nice on the computer :(
( Cut for images )
All of the pieces shown in this post are for sale, e-mail me for the price of whichever piece you are interested in.
If you have any questions, or would like a specific quote, please feel free to ask anything here and I will do my best to answer. You may also contact me via e-mail, scurvy.dog.shiin[at]gmail.com. If you are unsure about how much what you want would cost, please contact me :) I understand it can be a bit confusing. |
