2011-11-07 [Mortified Penguin]: What if I were to ask you to color this?

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]: Where did it come from?

2011-11-07 [Mortified Penguin]: The deranged mind of a child?

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]: I ask because I won't touch a piece of art unless the original artist asks me to. I'd consider that infringing on the ET art rules.

2011-11-07 [Mortified Penguin]: Might you be suggesting I'm not good enough to be the original artist?

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]: I'm just trying to make sure because I don't exactly know you that well. No offense or anything. I'm just trying to cover my butt.

2011-11-07 [Mortified Penguin]: Suuuuure you are. In any case, what might something like that cost me?

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]: That depends. If I can get a PSD where I can work beneath the established lines... accompanied with that I don't really do comics and there's a bit more surface area to cover than what I'm used to... I'm gonna make a stab and saaaayyy... $25 or so. Depending on the difficulty. No more than $30 I should think. And if it turns out to be easier than I expect I'd of course knock a bit off.

If I can't get a PSD then that means I'm going to ether have to trace it or do some funky Photoshop magic that I'm not overly familiar with. In that case, $35-$50 depending on difficulty. I wouldn't charge any more than $50 I don't think.

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]: Scratch that. I totally forgot my old method for working with scanned stuff! XD I stopped scanning things once I got cs4.

Let me play with it a little. See what it looks like after I do some tests. I think I probably overestimated a bit.

2011-11-07 [Mortified Penguin]: What if I were to do all the line work?

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]: You won't need to. Give me 10 min and I'll post a test and show you.

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]:  See what I mean?

If you're ok with it, it won't be very complicated. Though I will add shading and stuff. Just for the test I just threw some colors together based off this pic.

2011-11-07 [Mortified Penguin]: Looks pretty good. But it'd probably be a while before I could afford to pay you, if I do decide to get it colored.

But how good are you with backgrounds?

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]: I don't really do backgrounds, but for something like this I wouldn't leave the area behind just white. I'd add a little bit of color. Maybe some gradient shading depending on what looks nice. Nothing too eye catching but something that didn't leave it so empty. For the whole thing, color, shading and background ambiance... How does $25 sound? I'm negotiable, but not much lol.

2011-11-07 [Mortified Penguin]: Sounds reasonable. I'll let you know in like half a year if I still want it colored. There's still a lot of work I need to do on it, obviously.

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]: Half a year... Are you even serious about this transaction?

2011-11-07 [Mortified Penguin]: Somewhat. I'm just checking possible prices. Yours is one of the cheaper so far, though.

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]: Ok... *not sure if troll or completely honest*

2011-11-07 [Mortified Penguin]: :o

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]: I've been told to be wary of you is all.

2011-11-07 [Mortified Penguin]: Lies and slander! I'm nothing but a gentleman!

2011-11-07 [Ravenclaw]: The gentleness of your gender was never in question.

2012-02-26 [Ifran]: Hey Rav. I was trying to get a hold of you to do some commissions, but messages don't seem to be working. I was hoping this would get to you. Heh. Shoot me a message so we can discuss the particulars.

2012-02-26 [Ravenclaw]: Huh, that's odd. I duno what the deal is. What was it you had in mind?

2012-02-27 [Ifran]: I've been trying for quite some time to contact you. I thought perhaps you'd gotten upset with me an blocked me. I have some ideas, but this comments box is too small for me to type in. Try messaging me and see if it goes through. I'd rather do this via that.

2012-02-29 [Ifran]: Hey Rav, I got your message the other day. And i sent one back. Did it go through?

2012-02-29 [Ifran]: Hey Rav, I got your message the other day. And i sent one back. Did it go through?

2012-02-29 [Ravenclaw]: No, I don't know wtf is going on. I checked my blocked list and I've only got like one and it's not you.

2012-02-29 [Ifran]: Hrm...wierd. Well, you maybe wanna talk in a wiki or something?

2012-02-29 [Ravenclaw]: set it up.

2012-02-29 [Ifran]: I would...but I can't message you, remember?

2012-02-29 [Ravenclaw]: ok

2012-02-29 [Mortified Penguin]: Link to it here? Or better yet, just talk here...

2012-02-29 [Ravenclaw]: A monetary transaction deserves a private conversation.

2012-02-29 [Mortified Penguin]: Then you make a wiki and send it to [Ifran] via message.

2012-02-29 [Ravenclaw]: I did.

2012-02-29 [Mortified Penguin]: FINE THEN.

2012-02-29 [Ravenclaw]: You have a problem?

2013-03-16 [Kbird]: awsome character cast!

2013-03-16 [Ravenclaw]: Thank you. It's old, but still one of my favorites.

2013-03-16 [Kbird]: Wish I could get a job and bye one...*sad face*

2013-03-16 [Ravenclaw]: That's not the purpose of the pic. The pic is an example of what I could do for a customer. I'm not selling prints of that particular pic, but offering character line ups for customer's games.

For example, say you play D&D. You play an Elf, your buddies play a Dwarf, Human Bard and a Halfling. You could give me descriptions of the four characters and I would draw them. Understand?

2013-03-16 [Kbird]: I understood I was talking about people from my Rpg. ^-^

2013-03-16 [Ravenclaw]: Oh. Well then I misunderstood lol.

2013-03-16 [Kbird]: lol It's fine....If I was to get a character cast...It would be so hard to choose what characters I want!XD

2013-03-16 [Ravenclaw]: Well you can always get individuals and if one day you worked around to getting the ones you wanted I could always put them in a pic together. No charge.

2013-03-16 [Kbird]: thanks! I'll have to work to make the money for the individuals.^-^

2013-03-16 [Ravenclaw]: Np
