Watercolour quickie commissions! *all slots full*

I've set my greedy little eyes on a great A3 printer... and need funding. :D

So I'm offering FOUR commission slots!
THE DEAL!

Quick A4 size watercolour pieces, not like my recent Tolkien ones, but rather like the two portraits and the horse I did in terms of sketchiness. One character only, no background apart from swooshy watercolour stuff. The original will be sent to you.


Price: 50 Euros each.

Payment:
- in advance, please (sorry, had too much trouble with anything else!)
- PayPal perferred (to: jenny(at)goldseven.de)
- if you live in Germany, Überweisung is fine.

How to:
- send me an eMail to jenny(at)goldseven.de only if you're sure you want your slot. First four eMails to arrive get the deal. I'll update my journal for changes. Do NOT send me notes or just reply in this thread (well, feel free to, of course, but the eMails are what counts to decide who gets in)!

Workflow:
- Send me a description of the character(s) - appearance, character traits, attitudes - in your first mail. No page-long biographies if possible, please. :giggle: Fandoms happily accepted if I know them. (You probably know which I know.)
- Once I've given you the go-ahead - that could be today if yours is the first email I get - you send the money via PayPal.
- Once the money has arrived at my account, I send you a digital sketch of the character, which, of course, can still be changed if you want me to.
- When you're happy with the sketch, I finish it, post it here, AND send the finished picture to you by snail mail (I should have your address through PayPal;  if you pay by Überweisung, you'd have to let me know in your mail). No changes are possible after the first sketch. I'll be  doing the pencils directly on watercolour paper to ease my workflow.

So - go for it! :) *cracks knuckles*

I may have to commission you at some point when I get a paypal and have the extra money. I'm writing a 'book' that I hope to publish someday and would love to have a visual of the characters.

My commissions are closed at the moment - but watch my journal for when I open them again :)

Will do! I'm learning how to watercolor and your tutorials are being very helpful :)

ACTUALLY, is it only one slot per person? Like, could I actually claim two? Hypothetically?

So let's say that I have money and let's say I wanted two characters in one picture. I know you said one only, but what if I, like... claimed two slots or something? Would that be like totally unfair to other people who've been waiting for you to open commissions?

Hey haius! Right now, it looks as if claiming two slots would be possible. Unless a storm of takers breaks loose overnight, I think we could do that. :)

this email is taking forever. Here's hoping you don't get that rush of slot-takers you mentioned... :/
