Don’t forget to check out the new incentive! NSFW, btw ^^
Also, I’ve finally gotten around to creating a fan page for Evon on Facebook! So if you’re among the some odd billion people there, become a fan and share the comic with your friends 
Have a safe weekend!
Furries furries everywhere
This little cutie got started early!
As I have mentioned before, this was my first furry convention so I was not exactly sure of what to expect. I was a jiggering ball of nerves for about a month leading up to this past weekend and I certainly was not disappointed. I’m not sure I can put into words just how much fun I had, but it was one of the best times I’ve had in a long time and I’m already looking forward to next year.
From right to left:
Drake Fenwick, Shonuff and
a dude that didn’t want to be in the picture
I also got the chance to meet a lot of awesome people. One of the first gentlemen I met, by complete accident, was Drake Fenwick. My friend and I were sitting in the incredibly crowded Zoo (essentially the watering hole for all furries at the con) when the above three gents asked to share our table. I didn’t realize who Drake was until he started drawing and I had to keep myself from completely drooling over his arts. I knew that he worked in ball point pen, but seeing him do a drawing from start to finish was amazing! I don’t even remember him using a pencil to sketch with! He and Shonuff were incredibly nice and I bought a couple of originals from Drake when I visited their table (one will be going to Mr Wax who is a huge fan of his ).
Lizardbeth!!
I think I managed to do a very good job of not fan girling when I visited Lizardbeth’s booth (*cough* three times…). Despite her very long line she still took a second for me to snap a quick picture
I’m pretty sure that furries were the leading cause of all car accidents over the past weekend. The way people were gocking you’d think that the people of Pittsburgh weren’t use to seeing this once a year.
For all future furs to attend this con, make sure to make a stop at Furnados, a very welcoming restaurant across from the Westin. And make sure to buy their donut special.
Possibly the best thing ever served in a dog bowl :-9
Oh yeah,
und I has bear hat!!
For those of you that don’t know, Kickstarter is a website that helps independent creators get projects started. This sort of pre-ordering funding use to be available through Paypal, but they no longer allow this.
This project is meant to be a pre-order process for the print of the first chapter, The Meeting, a thirty page story of how Evon and Herodotus first met. The comic is in full grey scale with a color front and back cover. The interior also includes never before seen art by me.
Note that the comic is rated mature for strong language, sexual themes, and graphic violence.
The original first chapter of the comic is complete, but I am redrawing all the old chapters for the print version. I am officially half way through the first chapter and have about 15 more pages to draw. I plan to be done with this by the end of July or early August. When the art is done I will work on laying out the pages in inDesign and then send off the files for print.
As I said, this is a pre-order process and the nice thing about pre-orders is that it is a great opportunity to grab the comic at a discount price! The comic will still go into print if the project is not funded, but there would be no discount prices.
So, those interested, try and spread the word to make sure that this project happens and everyone gets a good deal, i’ll certainly be doing my part 
School has ended, projects and papers have been turned in and my life has become 75% stress-free and well as my spare time. That can only mean one thing… it’s time to open up commissions!
I usually don’t open up commissions this soon after school letting out, but I am in need of the monies ^^
I will also take this time to introduce my new commissions prices. For the last few times I did commissions I priced them super cheap (for how little I was charging for commissions I might as well have been working in a sweat shop for pennies ), but I simply cannot and will not allow myself to do that anymore. Art is a career and as an artist, it is time I started treating it as such.
And on that little note my new commission prices are as follow:
COMMISSION PRICE LIST:
(9 x 12, single character, white background with colored shape)
Base prices:
Pencil sketches: $25+
Black and White Inked: $60+
Digital Color: $130+
Real Media Color: $175+
+1 character = +50%
Vehicles & Weapons = +50%
Simple Backgrounds (doesn’t feel page or very little background) = 25%
Regular Backgrounds (fills page, average detail = 50%
Complex backgrounds (fills page, complex background and perspective) = +100%
Large size prints = Request a quote
The buyer is responsible for all shipping cost. I will be shipping through UPS and will be able to provide an accurate shipping cost. I am also willing to ship international as long as shipping is covered.
I accept payment by Paypal, check or money order. Even if you don’t have a Paypal account you can still use their services as long as you have a credit card. I ask for 50% of the payment before I start a commission and the remaining balance before the work is sent to you. If you like you may also pay 100% before I start working.
The finished product of digital commissions may either be in print form or as a digital file. Format and print size available upon requests.`
Reproduction, reprinting an distribution right are not included with commissions. They are assumed to be for private collection and display only. If you wish to use your commission for a commercial venture, you must let me know ahead of time so a contract can be written to handle the transfer of ownership.
Whew, that was a mouthful! I took a class this quarter on the business of art, it was quite helpful^^
I’ll be keeping commissions open for a while, at least until I’m able to cover all of my bills ^^
For those of you Potter fans that don’t know, the official trailer of the Deathly Hollows Part 2 premiered yesterday and I, for one, am incredibly excited. I’ve read all the Potter books, seen all the movies, own about half of the video games, a mystery board game that was released when the first movie came out, a coloring book that I won and never, ever colored in, a member of the Slytherin class from some club I joined a few years ago and several Hogwarts class pins.
Needless to say that I am a complete Pot(ter) Head ^^
Here is the trailer for your viewing pleasure
