Hmm, how does one drag people to leave comments? I've yet to figure that out on DA.

If you are a CG realism artist, I'd implore you to give me some tips on the featured deviation I have up. Especially on the background..........
I've got two commissions I'm working on right now, which you'll see WIPS of in my scraps soon...

I saw Reapersun's new journal update (Gaiaonline developer)... DAMN that's so much like I feel now...
I want to go to a big pretty landscape and just take an artistic vacation...

I've got the laundry monster, classes, Resident Advisors, drunk international students, nutty family, sport equipment eating tree, car bomb in parking garage, art commissions, writing deficit, California State Budget Crisis, and Lagatron Disconnecto eating my computer right now.
(head implosion)

I need R4 Defib and buffing (for those of you from Gaia who play zOMG)
and I need someone to play some kind of art game with me!! Always inspirational when you are doing art in interaction with friends. Does anyone know any good art contests? (preferably with a rl prize of some sort, but on Gaia it's ok too)

Quick! Before I turn into a hermit, all I'm missing is an underground lake and a mask.

MUWEHAHAAHAHAHAH look at this massive text wall I gave you!

So anyway, in terms of art progress. I've yet to entire finish a hyper realism picture, I've got 3 going at this point, all of which are uploaded in some WIP form on my DA.

I'd really like someone to request an OC with armor in that style, I've been craving that for a while. Or a mermaid, or merman...

I'm still experimenting on my anime style, but my priority is the two commissions, followed by the hyper realism ones.

To clarify my prices, now that I have a better idea of them:

Semi realism = 25$ starting price. If you want something requiring more detail than the average, I will quote you a slightly higher price.
The maximum for this style will be 40$, unless you are requesting a couple art, then we'll have to negotiate in pms/notes.

Realism starts at 60$
If you want more detail or a background, I will quote you more. I won't set a maximum for this style.
The higher the offer, the more attention to detail and sophistication the picture gets in general.

prices are somewhat negotiable, note me for details.
You can always request a WIP of your art from me, I only ask you try to limit it to 3-5 times a week, uploading huge stuff constantly gets annoying.

I will invest the commission money into getting better equipment... like a new tablet or laptop, I only have the basics right now.
