New Ah! My Goddess Art on the way

Tue Nov 17, 2009, 8:11 AM
Well, its my last week of work at Signs By Tomorrow and I'm working on producing the last double sided Acrylic AMG commissions for :iconricin2:

When lo and behold he commissions me to do 3 more Goddess commissions (Peroth, Lind, and Hild with Chibi-Hild). Hell, I'm going to also probably feel obligated to do a Keichi Piece as well. I've been kinda sitting on my duff as I stress out about my new job(s) lately. I start my new position with the web company on Monday and I'm looking at jumping into some more artwork. I'll feel better once I've delivered the acrylic pieces and can start drawing again. Also, I'm now switching over to drawing on 11x17 paper so that may change things up a bit, hopefully for the better.

I don't like to show sketches of work I'm going to color so it may be a little while before you see another pic but rest assured, they're on their way.

How much do your commissions cost? I was thinking about commissioning you to do a fantasy ‘family portrait’ for the fanfic “the Open Door” by Academia Nut. The author has writer’s block, so I’m hoping the picture would help inspire him.

[see [link] (chapter 45) for details]

Description of the three characters posing for a family portrait.

(1) Lars: Tall, lanky Caucasian male, he wears a Commissar officer (complete with hat) that looks ragged and encrusted with barnacles here and there. Every time I drew him, he ended up looking too much like Davy Jones from “;Pirates of the Caribbean.”

(2) Skuld: From the “Ah! My Goddess” anime, she’s in her late teens, her clothing and facial tattoos are black. She’s surrounded by a faint aura of reddish light, sort of like what a solar eclipse looks like, and her long brunette hair has a living Medusa-ish quality to it.

(3) Gunnhild: daughter of Lars and Skuld, she outwardly looks like a prepubescent drow elf girl with white hair, wearing a simple silvery-white dress. She has silvery facial tattoos similar to her mother Skuld. Both Gunnhild and her father Lars have shark-like grins filled with pointed teeth.
:iconshiroboi:
Sounds like some cool characters there. Little hint, Davy jones can be avoided by not drawing an octopus beard, ruins drawings everytime.

Hehe.

Anyway, my AMG commissions have been $50 per character colored, at least thats what we're doing now. My big issue though is time. My little daughter wants to play with Daddy all the time and Its getting increasingly tough to crank out color stuff. I'm backed up through February on those. Pencil commissions are no problem though, I can crank those out. I'd do those $10 per character which is my normal Con rate.

Yeah, thats really good. Do you have power. I was hearing on the radio about people who were running on generators and gutting their basements. Some basements had 6 feet of water in them.

Hey Jesse!

I know that people have been asking you about markers so I did some research. The following website has the best deal on Copic Ciao markers:

[link]

They has a 72 set for only $179.28.

Also for the absolute beginners I just got turned onto Tom Bow markers. I went to Utrecht yesterday and I got to try them out. They have the nice brush tip like the copics. The difference that I saw though was that the colors didn't seem as vibrant. For a set of 96 you can get them at amazon for only $165.05. These are professional markers as well and on the tom bow website the same set goes for $800. Just thought that I would share the knowledge :)

I don't think it adds anything to the picture. Just clean it up with the eraser tool.
