Commission Prices and New Books

Ok so with my art skills being back up to what they where when I left college I have decided that in the new year I will be making a fresh start and expanding my range to include a mix of Gothic Artwork and mythic art, so to help me out I have bought a few books and one just for reference.

 

 

 

These books are, Gothic Art by Nicola Senderson, Gothic Jewelry by Harriet Smith Ready to paint Dragons by Marc Potts and How to Draw Dragons in simple steps by Paul Bryn Davis.

 

Now I know that I have said that I am looking to get in to teaching but as I am having a bit of trouble trying to find a course that I can do close to home, so I am going to be selling my artwork and the jewellery pieces to raise some capital as well as fund my career development into teaching.

 

As for my pricing guide for commissions they are:

A4

 

• Line Art only £5
• Line Art with coloured pencil £5
• Line Art Inked £5 to £7.50 depending on the level of detail
• Ink and Marker £7.50
• Ink and Watercolour £7.50 to £10 depending on the level of detail

A3

• Line Art only £15
• Line Art with coloured pencil £15
• Line Art Inked £15 to £17.50 depending on the level of detail
• Ink and Marker £17.50
• Ink and Watercolour £17.50 to £20 depending on the level of detail

 

All of the prices include post and packing, if you require other sizes please contact me directly and I will discuss a price. My plan is to have a collection of jewellery and art work for a craft fair this time next year and hopefully have a few prints of any larger work that I create to sell also.

Happy new Year

Hay and Happy new year to any one that even looks at this.

So I hear you ask what do I have planed for the year that is 2013, well for starters I plan on actually finishing Book one of Battlefortress Archangel and farming it out to a friend, Jay's work over on Deviant Art, that is if he will convert it into a script for me ^^;.

Next I plan on doing something with an old project from High School, maybe turn it into a short motion comic, or as we animators say an 'animatic' as a showcase of both my drawing skills and my animation skills, while learning to use a 3D software package, might start small with 30 day trial of an example of maya (not mine), as my 3D skills are some what errrm.... rusty.

I also intend on learning how to colour stuff digitally using only Photoshop for creating a piece, which I will place in my Portfolio and place working image's on here for people to look at my progress.

If you have any tips, hints, shortcuts or suggestions to aid my progress please drop me a line as I can always use any friendly advice for assisting my style.

Well that's all the personal professional goals set for this year, now to tell you what I plan on a networking, well I plan on going to at least one London Comic Con, most probably the one in October and if I can fund it Bradford Animation Festival in November, Hopefully with examples of my work to show to the exhibitioners to get professional feedback on my work.
