Okay, I'm not offering commissions. I'm obviously not good enough and probably no one would ever want anything done by me anyways. So in any case, thats not what this journal entry is about.
I browse through many artist galleries and I know that many artists offer commission for personal pieces. Never really paid any attention to them, until recently, I thought, oh it would be so cool to have few drawings done as gifts to people for Christmas. Little that I know, many of these artist offering commissions, don't even let you have the actually drawing!!! I mean, they are charging prices up there, and all you get is a HI-RES digital copy??? That you actually have to print out by yourself. Come on?!?!?!?!?
I'm sorry, I don't know how the business works, but I think that sucks! I just think that if I paid for a drawing, I should get a drawing. If I had wanted a print, I would have purchased it from DeviantART.
And not only that, it's suppose to be your personal commission. To me that should be special, one of a kind. But nope. Some, if not all artist state that they have the copyright to the art and can sell prints however they wish. So what's so personal about that? Just buy a POSTER! There's multiple copies of those and its much cheaper!
Would a kind deviant explain to me what I'm not getting here?
Thanks anyone for reading...

They Make it Look Easy!!!!
I'm here on DA browsing "Cellshade Tutorials" and you "pro" out there make it look so easy. But I just can't get it when I'm actually working on my pieces. I would love to consult my much more artistic brother, but he's no where to get in contact!!!
Anyways, I'm just gonna have to study these tutorials some more and practice practice practice. "Practice makes better!" That's what my Calculus II professor says. Shit! I failed that class!!!
I'm using InkScape. I would love to use PhotoShop, since I was more familiar with it. Or even FreeHAND (I know OLDSCHOOL!!!) But my old computer crashed and I can't afford to get these new software. So fre
Here I Try Again!!!!
See, I get these motivations to do something. I'm all hyped up ready to do it, and then.... nevermind, don't feel like doing it anymore. This past week, I was urging myself to just doodle something and post it. It doesn't matter if its a piece of crap, you went for it thats what matters at this moment. Nope didn't happen.
So, what I decided to do is to post old drawings. How ever amateur they are, just get it up there on the world wide web. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it..... I can.....
We'll see what happens next....
Thanks for stopping by.

Here it Goes... Skin!!!
It stated to try it out with a new journal entry, so here it is...
How does it look?
Thanks for coming in.
I Call These Faces of Lecture!!!
Okay, so once in a while during lecture I just have that urge to doodle something. This will be my project. I will try to scan all the doodles (mainly character profiles) made in my current political science class and post them (when I come around to it.)
Take care and hope to post something soon.

Commenting on my own journal, so sad 
Anyways, I've come to some understanding of the 'only receiving a Hi-Res digital copy' thing. I guess most of the artists do their work on the computer, so there's no actual paper hard-copy.
But at the least, in my opinion. The commissioner should receive something else, like the digital copy, and a print-out sent and autographed by the artist. This would make it a bit more personal.
