Notice: School is in Session so there may be a slight delay depending on whether or not real life decides to get in the way

Long story short; I've calculated that in order to pay for school, working as much as possible at my current wage, if I budget very carefully, I can afford half a tank of gas every two weeks.... yeah. So i'm going to try to supplement my income with some potential USD sales... naturally I still accept wish list items, pure or cash shop credits but the more $$ the better...
I see you are wondering about that "high quality" in the title... would you like some examples? Click for full view


Full Body


Sketch/Busts


Realistic-ish


These are just a few examples... any one of those and my siggy will take you to my gallery if you'd like to see more.

PRICES
Ah yes... the dreaded prices, I am actually SUPER flexible with prices, as long as it's within a fair range....
sP/CSC/WL/Art Trade: I don't care. Pay what you think the piece is worth/what you can afford.
USD... depends on the art.
A Bust sketch would be $3-$8 or so depending on complexity and background
realistic/full body between $8- $25... again, based on complexity and background

I can give you an estimate after knowing precisely what you are looking for and negotiate from there until we're both happy with the price
now I know not everyone is loaded so i'm willing to be flexible and even take multiple forms of payment (ie $3 USD and 200CSC)

Ping me with:
@Ichigo_li
who/what i'm drawing (as many references as possible/the most obnoxiously detailed description you can come up with)
what they'r doing (including desired pose, personality, expression etc.)
what you're hoping to pay with. Keeping in mind that USD will probably take priority, only because real money demands a faster response, though i'll be as fair as possible....

Slots
USD :
1. Open
2. Open

All Others :
1. Open
2. Open
3. Temporarily closed (IRL commission)


Finished Pieces

I thought I would ask before I place my order, but would 8mill be a decent price for two pictures like the "Vesnail Sprite" picture in your examples?

Wonderful ^^ I actually changed my mind, though, instead of ordering two different pieces, I'm hoping a single fullbody for the same 8mil price would be okay?

@Ichigo_li
who/what i'm drawing: Reference Picture She wears a long, cerulean gown with an off-white fur collar. Her hair is usually done up in a hood, with a bit of hair peeking through on the side. She wears knee-high black boots, slightly heeled. She wears an off-white fur cuff on her wrists. Her lips are black, and she has dark blue eyeshadow, to match her ensemble.
what they're doing: Well, she is a classy woman, a lover of fine things in life. She enjoys elegance. She's also a soft giggler. She is a fantroll from Homestuck, if you may or may not have noticed. She lives in a frozen tundra, so she wears lots of fur, but since she loves fashion, she tries to look her best while staying warm. I would love her in a pose that reflects that class and elegance.
what you're hoping to pay with: 8mil

Thanks for drawing Eloina, I love the scrolls! Would it be possible to a copy of it with her other eye showing under her glasses though? I totally understand the effect of it, I am hear the sound effects for it in my head, but just wondered if it would look better with both eyes

@Ichigo_li
Sounds awesome! :"D
And I really did not ping, because I wasn't that sure about taking a slot at the time, but now, I am - considering that you're willing to try this out. c:

I'll go for a sketch, at the meantime.
Feel free to choose between either of these:

1. ab-e:o
References: I only have two references for him so far. D;

Personality: Mikko is pretty much a no-nonsense guy, but he will tend to prioritize his own subsistence over his own happiness. As his job is essentially as an exterminator, he is a merciless, albeit highly mechanical executor, if only because he is compensated handsomely for his services. Despite being the ABE-O (Abolition & Extermination Officer) of The Segment, he holds many negative views about The Segment to himself. He is also very secretive about anything about him, and only wishes to be addressed as Abeo or Ari, and prefers to isolate himself, whether he is at work or out of it. He highly dislikes anyone getting into any kind of physical contact with him.
Extra info: Not much, apart from the colour of his eyes being a grayish-blue - thought I'd clear it up, because it probably isn't clear from the other reference. D; I dislike it when my choice of colours lead to colour bleeds. Artistic liberty on the pose.

2. exillium-β
References:
The last reference is in a more realistic style, if that helps.
Personality: I think this is going to end up a bit more like her background, than just her personality:

She was born without her lower arms, and she grew up with a brother who always made her feel like she was useless, no matter what she did. Her mother always tried to understand her, but there were times when she would also lose her patience and snap at her for this. Her disability hampered her from receiving formal schooling, and her mother served as her teacher until she was 18. It was at that time that she decided to start her quest for arms and acceptance from her brother. As much as he claimed to hate her, she always sought for his approval, to no avail. Even if some people have shown her some pity and offer to give her some aid to obtain a pair of prosthetic arms, her prideful attitude sees pity as a blow to her self-esteem and ego. She couldn't sing, nor paint with her mouth or feet. She couldn't do most things that she could see armless people on television do, but she could speak well in public. Sure, she had close to no charisma, but people have to start from somewhere. It was through this that she obtained an odd job, albeit short-lived, as a "gag" in a comedy bar; she was known as "Obnoxious Head", which required her to only have her head shown to the audience, the rest of her body hidden below the trick table. Her sense of humour was however, dry at best, and so she was booted out from it. To her, smiling and laughing were "reflexes", as her dilemma of being armless weighed her down too much, that almost everything she did needed to be planned toward this pursuit. Almost giving up on her quest, she swore that she would cling to the closest opportunity she could have to possessing a full set of arms, even if this meant that she had to become an experiment. Although she was only promised to be granted physical, prosthetic arms at the expense of being immersed into a virtual reality for the rest of her life, with her progress to be monitored, she foolishly succumbed to this, even if this meant that she would never recall using her new arms in the real world. In this "game"-like sequence, her memory was "wiped", or more accurately, blocked, and she only knew herself as exillium, or INO-6555β - an agent of an "organization for justice" called The Segment. The longer she "stayed" in that "reality", the more she was immersed in it, and became convinced that it was the truth. She began to believe that The Segment is real and had the most noble cause, that those who oppose it must not live, and that she is but a robotic prototype within an experiment for a synthesized biological body (almost reversing the entire truth.) The program was never capable, however, of inhibiting emotion, but her conditioning convinced her that happiness is unnecessary. In this state, she was oblivious to the fact that she is actually human, not to mention that her actions in the virtual world actually translate to the real world. She was not held inside a singular room, but instead allowed to roam free and "continue" life, which every action of hers in the virtual world being influenced by her real surroundings, as the experiment's real goal was to create a virtual experience on top of real life and real action, almost indistinguishable from it.
Extra info: I don't really have a good reference for her gun, sadly. I suppose artistic liberties can go there, as well as with her pose.

Thank you very much, by the way for considering me ;u;

templars never die.

Thank you so much for the response and the compliment! <: I actually have another image for exillium-β, but I'll upload it once I'm back from college.
Take all your time. I'll probably think of the price when I receive the WIP, though I may have to ask first - how much do you value the first example you linked to? xD (I will say that I am thinking of something in between the $5~$8 price range for the sketch, UNLESS you can give me a definite price 8D)

you are loved.

oh goodness, that first guy, when he's finished, will be around 25-30USD depending on if he wants the ghouls or not... he's gonna wind up looking closer to this

the bust i linked would be $6 only because he's fully inked and colored in, but not terribly complex
$5-$8 for these guys would be closer to something like one of these or a simple bust likethis

a full body of them would be a little closer to $12 only because of their complexity and details and such,

Ello there! I was just wondering if you would be able to accept about 3.5-4mil for a fullbody picture of this guy? I don't want a background or anything fancy, I just want something to use on his profile. If that's not enough I can scrape up more but that's all I have for now

Thank you for the perspective on that! c:
The "simple bust" (last example on your most recent pose) is something I'm most interested, in ahaha xD

I'm really sorry for the confusion and all - just found that I ended up liking your other examples, compared to what I originally had in mind.

I can understand charging 25~30 USD for that complex example, considering the amount of detail it entails. *o*

Thanks a lot His outfit should look generally like This just try and make it look cool I guess I don't have anything specific really in mind as far as clothes go, I want his shoes to be shaped like these (X) but less steampunk-y. A pokeball would be cool too, again anything that you think would look good. His main player is a pichu

basically anything that will make her look "right"
i wouldn't want to make her look bubbly if she's stoic right?
even what you might use it for would help me get it best it can be

She's very cocky and confident and rather obnoxious. Usually has this "I'm better/cooler than you" attitude towards everyone and is normally smirking.
As for pose, anything laid back really. I'm not really good at pose ideas, so whatever you think looks good works for me. I try to make my characters really flexible when it comes to posing :3

And I'd like to use it for her profile when I start constructing it c:

sweet! Thank you =) do you mind getting an option? I'm looking for art of either of these pokemon trainers: either happy-go-lucky, no-fashion-sense, optimistic Obi (with a ratticade if that's not too much trouble) looking like he's ready to gleefully go on a gran aventure or his more serious, somber, vicious brother/rival Isoba (with his wigglytuff if it's not too much trouble). looking like he's going to love you up with his pokemon. If including the pokemon is asking too much (which I totally understand) Obi with a pokebelt or Isoba holding a pokeball like he's about to unleash the fury of his Charizard on his opponent would be awesome.
