So photo sharing will have to wait till Monday since I'm visiting my mom this weekend. She hasn't seen me since Christmas time and is a little upset by that fact.

Ah well.

Homework is coming along nicely, was given an extension on my painting project since my teacher saw me earlier in the week, told me I looked dead or else seriously ill and said I could hand in my painting assignment next week if it meant I would get sleep this week. I love that man right now.

Am still sleepy, but no longer stressed and this weekend will be a nice change of scenery. Also, I'll take some photos of mom's cats, mostly Rico since he's my idiot and often times my biggest source of inspiration and comfort. ^___^ Am also going to sketch out pages for Legend so that i can update sometime next week and I'm trying to design the cover using the same style I did for the last Sanji pic. Also wanna finish the fashion series...

And I have some FF stuff planned, as well as some Bleach and Death Note and Suikoden stuff...

And the bookmarks...

My will and desire to draw has returned. This makes me happy.

Oh! And on a sidenote...I wanna get a bit of money so that I can buy a button maker...thus, would anyone be interested in buying prints from me?

Because I really wanna make buttons ;___;

I want around a 2 inch since thats the one that best shows off art >_>

*grin* frankly, that was my thought too.

My button maker is the semi-automatic model 225, it makes 2 1/4'' buttons. I've only used it a couple of times and never filled out the warranty info. Here's a picture-

the machine, the back and front pieces, plastic covers, warranty papers and a completed button (as an example) the only thing else you'd need is a circle cutter.

O_______O That's one of the ones I was looking at!!!!!!!

How much would you be selling it for? And then of course the price of shipping and such.....

*stares at it and dreams of all the pretty button ideas*

[dracontia.livejournal.com]

Erm... $100? I don't know how much shipping would cost though. 100 is still quite a bit so, maybe a commission piece(s) instead?

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

$100 is not all that expensive at all...so how about $100 for the buttonmaker and stuff and then a commission to cover shipping costs?

The button makers I saw were around $210 - $300.....

humm... The one I bought was, well, I don't really remember. *searches* I think it was from this guy, I'm not too sure though.

The reason I wasn't too sure about the commission was that what I want is a series of chocobo portraits, from ff7-12. Of course if that's too much of a hassle your offer is fine.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

That....would be quite fun actually ^_____^ How would you like them done so that I can get started? ((cause I really wanna make buttons and oh! Wouldn't chocobo buttons be soo cute ^_______^))

[dracontia.livejournal.com]

The idea was to show how chocobos have evolved through the ff games: ignoring the pixel chocobos that leaves ffs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and chocobo dungeon. They can be doing anything within the normal realm of bird behavior (aka, not playing a card game).

Also, how much do you regularly charge for commissions?

Chocobo buttons? XDD

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Chocobo buttons would soo kick ass!

And commissions are priced on how much time they will take me....if they are inked, or just coloured sketches. If there is background or not. If they are simple (like plushies), or complex, etc.

Usually one character(complex) and background costs about $60 (about $10 an hour really...)

But I'd be willing to do maybe mini prints of all the different chocobos and then line them nicely into one big print? Would that work?

[dracontia.livejournal.com]

*nods* I'll probably end up buying some from you ^__^

I doubt they really need backgrounds, that'd be too much detail for something like this.

Can they be in mini prints? I was going to matt them together. Although, matting 7 together would be kind of hard- how about not doing the FF8 FF9 & chocobo dungeon? They're probably the most redundant out of all of them (but then again, I'm pretty biased)

Also about shipping: when should I send the button maker? If I wait until the end of the month I can ship it with UPS which would probably be quite a bit cheaper than the US postal service.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Mini prints would be good and no backgrounds? Are you sure? How about I do one with background so that you can see what they look like....

So, do 7, 10, 11 and 12 then? I'll hopefully get started on them this weekend then ^___^

And if waiting till the end of the moneth is cheaper then I shall wait ^_____^

*bounces* I'm all excited! I get to make buttons and play with Chocobos!!! Much love ^___^
