SPLStudio

I am currently unemployed, so I have some free time on my hands LOL.  Since I love working on my artwork, I figured that I would go ahead and accept some commissions.  I do go to school full-time and I am looking for work, so if you are looking for instant completion I won't be able to gurantee that.  But I will complete the piece as quickly as possible and I am more than willing to work with you to ensure that you are satisfied with the final product.

Guidelines:
1.  Commissions will be digital images; I don't have a high quality photo printer.  The final pieces will be 4500x3000 pixels unless you request otherwise.  If you are looking to print it yourself, let me know what size you are looking to print out so that I can frame the image to fit nicely.
2.  I am not too picky with subject matter; just look at my gallery.  If I do have some problem with the subject, or I think that I won't be able to complete it with my current skills, I will politely let you know.
3.  The artwork is my intellictual property as are any characters that I create (obviously, if you want me to use your characters then they are yours).  While I do not mind you posting the image on DA or other forums, I do ask that you give me credit (and if possible provide a link to my DA page).  Please do not sell my work to others.


Each character = $15
*custom textures may cost an additional $5-10 depending on the complexity (I will let you know before I start)

Payment is through PayPal and will be due upon completion.  I will send you a sample (low-res) image to get final approval before requiring payment, but I will not send the completed image until I receive payment in full.

If you have any questions, or you are interested in commissioning me, then drop me a note and we can go from there.

Just a heads up, I know that I haven't posted very much this month, but I hope to pick things up next month.  I have been swamped with new school projects (including a project management class where I am planning the construction of a Zombie safehouse).  I am also working on a series of commissions for which I will display once they are done.  Thanks to all my fans for the faves and watches!

Just a heads up to any fans I have out there on the Internet: I haven't stopped making new stuff LOL.  I haven't made too many new pics so far this year because of other things monopolizing my time.  I signed up to go back to school, I'm looking for a new job, I have a new girlfriend, and I'm trying to teach myself modeling in Maya.  My attempts in Maya still aren't good enough for me to show off, so I'm going to try and find enough time to make one or two pics in Daz Studio every week (at least until my Maya skills get better).

Why do some people feel the need to belittle others work simply because of the media used to create said work?  I've seen more than one comment or blog from individuals that create 3D models from scratch that state (generally in a very condescending manner) that people that use Poser (or Daz Studio) aren't really artists.  Because Poser allows individuals to use models created by others, the Poser artist is somehow lacking in skill or vision.  I personally find this viewpoint to be very close minded (and not just because I use Daz).  Is a photographer "not an artist" because he/she is taking pictures of subjects that he/she did not physically create or because they use a camera that they bought in a store?  Is an author not an artist because of the use of spell-checkers, dictionaries, and a thesaurus to ensure proper word choices?  I'm not saying that you have to like everything on DA.  I know that there is a lot of art that I don't really care for myself, but I think it is downright rude to leave a comment on the artist's page telling them that they need to step up and become a "real artist".
