It's
jawzdharken's birthday tomorrow and so a gift is in order.
( Celebratory Thingie )I recently got in to a conversation with a friend about the value for money you get when commissioning artists on Gaia. I can be somewhat impartial about this now given I haven't been doing commissions myself for about half a year, which is a lifetime by Gaia standards. Anyway, she thinks the prices have been getting unreasonable but from my point of view I think it's still highway robbery compared to what you'd have to pay these guys in real money.
Mainly this occurred because I'm starting to move in to getting commissions of the Coreverse characters done. I used to think this was the most egotistical thing ever, once upon a time, but now I'm partially curious how they'd come across when drawn by others and, frankly, not about to pass up the chance to get better artists to draw things I can't do myself.
This is the first thing I've ever gotten commissioned, because while I can't draw shounen I can't really draw soft shoujo either.
