EDIT: Alright, back to boosting commission info; I'm in need of a new laptop and need to pay some general expenses (gas, school, etc) so please, please, please consider commissioning me or at least signal boosting this journal!

Bullet; Black Why are these different than the other tiers?
These are not done through my normal means; Name Your Price are colored sketches that I do purely on the computer with use of a tablet; no prior sketch on a paper. They're usually very quick and easy for me to do, which is why I've given them the "Name Your Price" tag and opportunity.

Rules & Stipulations

  • Will Do vs. Will Not Do

Honestly, I’m pretty easy to persuade and am happy to compromise when it comes to certain things. Price isn’t one of them, so don’t try and negotiate them with me unless it’s a Name Your Price package. It takes time to get work done, time I have to take away from my life to do. However, back to business.

The only thing I have some major restrictions about doing is NSFW stuff. I don’t mind doing “sexy” stuff; I love drawing the ladies, after all, but I won’t do hardcore hentai or sexual stuff. I’m more than happy to accommodate your desire for yuri, yaoi and anything in between. As long as it’s not too heavy, I’ll take your request without complaint.

  • Reference & Description

I’ll draw pretty much anything, no matter how complex, but if it’s too much, know three things:

  1. I, as the artist, have a right to up the price if I feel something may be too complex. It’d be a rare occurrence, really, since I’ll probably try to downplay details where I can, but this still stands if I feel I’ve taken much of my time to get a piece done. 
  2. I, as the artist, can get carried away with a piece and add details like nobody’s business. Be grateful for this by allowing me to add a few dollars extra to your total price if it goes to that point. It’ll probably be rare if I ask, but understand that it can happen.
  3. I can work well off of description alone, but if you can, the more reference you have for me, the better. This can be anything from stock images to other images that have inspired you, etc. This is especially important if you have a specific pose in mind; if you can, find a stock image of that pose to help me.
  • Name Your Price

I’m going to put this in here because I just know someone’s going to come to me saying “draw my character for 25 cents” and then whine and complain when I decline.

Let’s get one thing straight: Name Your Price or otherwise, I have a right as an artist to decline your request entirely. It could be for personal reasons (lack of time, etc.) or artistic integrity, but I. Am not. Your slave.

That being said, I’m holding a price limit for Name Your Price. That limit being $1. That’s it. A simple drawing request can be 1$, or more. But know this: I’m still a human being across this computer screen; I have school and a car to pay, and would very much like to move out of my house soon. I know art alone may not be the ticket, but every little bit helps somehow.

Alright, I think that’s all I can say. If you’re interested, please, send me a note with what you’d like and I’ll respond in as timely a manner as possible. Thanks for looking, following and enjoying; I look forward to hearing from you!

    1.) How long have you been on DeviantArt?

8 years, apparently--time sure seems to fly by.

    2.) What does your username mean?

While a reference to my old username, "Raven-Alchemist42," it's also something I thought up to have a more original tag to me and my art. I've always loved ravens and crows, and I want to use them and their imagery in relation to me, so I thought this was a nice change when I got the chance to do so :]

    3.) Describe yourself in three words.

Uuuh... Dorky, shy, compassionate :meow:

    4.) Are you left or right handed?

I'm a righty~

    5.) What was your first deviation?

I actually went and found it, and it was this  a dedication to my pet beta fish at the time that had passed away. I still miss the little cutie; he lived for a pretty long time so it was really sad to see him go :|

    6.) What is your favourite type of art to create?

While drawing and sketching comes easiest to me, as my gallery would prove, I like making my digital vectors and cel-shades; it's always so satisfying watching a piece come together with color like that.

    7.) If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?

Hmm, probably a 2D Disney-ish style, or a generally more cartoony style; I understand the concept of using shapes and different body styles to portray a character, but I'm not always the best at actually conveying it :XD:

    8.) What was your first favourite?

Assuming my favorites aren't lying to me or I've removed it somehow, it should've been this amazing piece right here:
Dark Angel by DolphyDolphiana
It's still such an awesome piece by an equally awesome artist :D

    9.) What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?

It really varies a lot, I think, because I find beauty or amusement in so many of the things that people create on this site. But I think it would have to be digital art; just recently I actually filled up one of my favorite folders designated specifically for digital art, and had to make a new one! :lol:

    10.) Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?

Oh man, so many... I don't think I could pick just one. In terms of friendship/lasting relationship, Spartanbait wins by a long shot; he and I met pretty much when I first joined DA and our entire relationship snowballed from there--so much that we became a couple :meow: In terms of art... I don't think I could pick just any one of the amazing artists I follow; they are all so skilled or make such awesome pieces that inspire me to make more art of my own. I'll give some examples instead!

CLOSED: Birthday DTA! by fawnbun
Agni by griffsnuff
SU - Chrysoberyl by Beedalee-Art
.r e. .s e t. by vashperado

Robin Hood poses 02 for Disney by David Kawena by davidkawena

... Just to name a few :lol:

    11.) If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?

I've already met Spartanbait :lol: several times, in fact :XD: Otherwise, probably artists that I've had brief exchanges with before and think we could have some fun :D 

    12.) How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?

Needless to say, Spartanbait has been an amazing part of my life; what started as one of my first real friendships over the internet blossomed into a beautiful relationship; he's someone who is always happy to see my art and always encouraging me to keep at it :meow: He's helped me to become an all-around better person, and has been with me through the years as my art has changed and improved.

    13.) What are your preferred tools to create art?

At least for sketching, a sketchbook, pencil and erasers are all I really need :XD: But since I prefer digital work, PhotoShop and Illustrator have been essential for the creation and progression of my art.

    14.) What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?

Hmm... I think I do my best work in places like school or libraries--generally away from home. Granted, I do draw or generate most of my stuff in my room (I don't have the means to leave home just yet :|) but I think being away from home, somewhere quiet or where I can just listen to my own music without interruption, is usually the best for me and my art.

    15.) What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?

I think my absolute favorite memory thus far would have to be when I was finally able to commission someone for the first time. The artist I commissioned, one of my absolute favorites on this site, was LauraGalliArt. And she created these amazing pieces for me :meow:


She is such a skilled artist, and such a delightful person to work with :aww:

Features~

5 min read
I promised Cybiline that I would put this up, since she featured me in a similar journal :D I'm two days late, but at least I did it :XD:

>>For everyone who comments on this journal, I will feature one of their characters. I'll also tell you what I like about them.

>If you comment, please do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on in the first slot. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone.

1. :iconcybiline:
I think Cybil is definitely one of my favorite characters from this artist. I mean, it's hard for me to pick a favorite character from her, simply because she has quite a few wonderful designs and such, but Cybil is a real cutie with a unique design and such an adorable personality! I love her fluffy tail! >w<

2. :iconmaxfanmf:/:iconelmh:
Ah, Lyric. What can I say about the adorable derp? He's adorable. And he's a derp :lol: This character's design stuck out to me because I've always liked red and black together. Plus, I love his messy hair :lol: And when his creator told me about how crazy a nutball he is, I only fell in more love :XD: Seriously, this is a guy who goes around chasing butterflies and causing fires and sleeping at the foot of peoples beds :lol: He's a unique and misunderstood little guy, but I love him all the same :D

3.The art was created by :iconmirz333: but the character belongs to :iconnightshade-keyblade:
<da:thumb id="360180494"/>
As far as skill goes, this is a well done pixel. The shading is perfect, the eyes and hair are wonderfully executed (especially short hair; even I still struggle with short hair like that). As far as character goes, I don't know much about him, but he has a good and simple design. Apparently, the artist had no basis for him aside from text, so that must say something about nightshade-keyblade's ability to write! :D

4.:iconspartanbait:
Picking a single character from Spartanbait is difficult. Not only does he have a slew of characters, but I've roleplayed with these characters with him, I've grown to love and cherish them. I finally decided on Rahim up here, not really because he's my "favorite," but rather cuz I feel he needs some love :lol: As far as design goes, I quite like his (and not just cuz he's walking fanservice :XD:). No, Rahim has a more colorful design compared to some of Spartanbaits other characters, but it all works well together. Aside from that, his rough 'n' tumble personality--to die for. He's one of those characters that can easily get under your skin or be your most favorite, just because he's so cocky and almost full of himself :lol: But, under all that, he's got a heart of gold and some surprising turmoils. Overall, a well developed character from where I'm standing =p
