The Feral Comics Archive, wee!! [link]

Check out this awesome resource, it's sure to give you lots of inspiration for those interested in creating feral comics. I'm rather excited by it as one of my hobbies is searching around DA looking at webcomics. Now there's one place where I can peruse the work of other artists and check out what everyone is doing. Be sure to spread the word and join so we all have more comics to read and share.
Joining the FCA is easy, just click submit and fill out the form. You too can share your creation with fellow feral comic creators and webcomic enthusiasts.
Also check out the tutorials available, they're incredibly helpful on how to make sequential art or digital coloring and painting.



PAYPAL USERS ONLY I don't accept mailed payments, sorry.

These commission slots are for stuff like character sheets, hyper-realism pieces (that will cost you a bundle, I don't recommend it), coloring jobs, avatars, and such.
Pricing is flexible, depending on medium, size, and time required to make. For example, small digital pieces will probably go for $10 to $15 American while larger digital pieces will cost anywhere from $20 to $40 American (once again, change due to time, size, effort, etc.)
I also design tattoos (just ask JackalsGrin :iconjackalsgrin:) though I will not draw you naked women or men nor rabid squirrels tearing people to pieces. IE excessive violence and nudity. This goes for every piece of work I'm commissioned.
No sculpture commissions for the moment. They take too long and I fear they might break while the American Postal system handles it.
Traditional art (oil paintings, watercolors, markers, inks) are considerably more expensive than digital art because I must take more time to make them and they are more expensive to ship. Email is free, postage ain't. Those may run anywhere between $20 and $80 dollars American (depending on medium, size, time taken, and how far I have to ship the dang thing to your house).
I can do pretty much anything you ask (except for the underlined stuff below), but am especially proficient at animal portraits and fantasy creatures. I can do people too, but I'm not quite as good at it.
To repeat: No Excessive nudity, excessive violence, copyrighted characters (Disney, Pixar, Warner, some other artist's stuff, nor my characters will be drawn for you. Currently, no sculptures.

MODEL SHEET PRICES:
A model sheet being a very simple background (white void or simple abstract shapes I insert to make it look nice) with a character in a pose that shows off its markings and/or personality. However, if you just want a piece that won't be used as a reference, but is still a character against a simple background (so the pose is more complex), the pricing is still the same.
$20 US: Cell-shaded character.
$25: Complex shaded character
$30: Paint-styled character
An extra $5 to $10 is added if a character is especially complex or the piece involves another form of the character (for instance, anthro and quad versions). Extra characters in the same sheet may cost an extra $10 to $20 depending on their complexity. These prices may vary.

FULL DIGITAL PIECES (involving backgrounds, etc).
Similar pricing scale to model sheets, however pricing flucuates depending on the complexity of the surrounding elements, almost invariable they will be at least $5 more expensive than a model sheet. HYPER-REALISTIC PIECES ARE CONSIDERABLY MORE EXPENSIVE AND VARY DRAMATICALLY IN PRICES. NEGOTIATION IS NEEDED BEFORE A PRICE WOULD BE DECIDED UPON FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL PIECE.
Examples
$35 Cell-shaded character with painterly background, a la my work on the BLACKBLOOD ALLIANCE graphic novel
Estimated cost ~$30 to $35 Less finely rendered painterly style
Estimated cost ~$70 Painterly styled hyper-realistic portrait
And the rest I don't really have examples of, but basically if you can think of it, I can probably do it, and I'll price it reasonably.

CONBADGES
Priced between $15 and $35 US, depending on what you want and how you want it. A simple cell-shaded headshot would be just $15, while more involved pieces like this will cost you $35 (its equivalent would be a finely rendered headshot done in a painterly and semi-realistic style).


AVATAR PRICES:
$20 US: Rough black&white avatar/Snarling or winking avatar
$30 to 35 US: Running, leaping, swimming, flying etc, avatars(NORMAL PRICE)
$45 US: Complex movement and complex character (ie rainbow and/or lots of doo-hickeys) avatars

Black and whites have the same complexity as a $30 US commission however they look rough and are only in black and white.
Also understand that for very fluffy or complicated characters, I have to simplify their design some otherwise they're practically impossible to animate (or at least it would be way, way way more expensive). So if your wolf character has a million bracelets, million colors, and other accessories, I'll simplify it to around two bracelets, several colors, and a few vital accessories. When characters have too much stuff they look incredibly busy when you see them animated, so it's for aesthetic reasons too.

Don't hesitate to commission me for black and whites. I can makes those very quickly and they're relatively cheap. Don't skip out on this deal!

All commissioners are required to provide me with a model sheet and/or reference work and pay me as soon as I send you a preview image (usually a rough still) of the work in progress. This shows I'm working and you haven't wasted your money.

Oh! Ok! Well that's pretty cool! Those are some talented fans XD. I love voice acting and I have the perfect voice and attitude for bloodspill.

So, anything new with you lately?

Kay's not actually the director, I think that's just the way the fans wanted to credit her. Her role in this fan production in more like writer and concept artist: she provided the original writing and conceptual art but from there the actual director (one of our fans) will keep to or diverge from the story. They may ask questions or come to us out of courtesy and desire to keep the fan-movie accurate to the original, but otherwise, it's not really in our control.
~BloodyKillOokami:iconBloodyKillOokami: 1 day 5 hours ago
Really? But it said Kay was the director.... Hmm.. Ok! Sorry for the mix up :D"

Anyways, how are you?

Neither Kay nor I are in control of the BBA animation project, it's a fan project. If you're curious about trying out, go on the forum and post in the fan animation board.

OMG OMG!!! Erin! Are there still voice acting try outs?! I'd LOVE to give it a try for Bloodspill, Swftkill, Or Whitewind! Please get back to me as soon as possible to set things up!

SO EXCITED!

Hi how are ya?
*ESDA06:iconESDA06: 6 days 1 hour ago
I suggest experimenting with techniques and trying to make different pictures with the style you want before leaping into a comic. Otherwise, each panel will look different because you have no method. A lot of my non-commissioned art is me experimenting with various lighting and techniques ideas to get a feel for different styles. I suggest you do the same with your colored pencils. Also, look up photographs of different scenery and try to duplicate their colors and composition (if you post them online, please point out the originals). It's good practice and you'll feel more confident about drawing environments if you know how they're structured (rather than making stuff up off the top of your head).

I ask because I don't mind if you use some of my images so long as you point to me as their creator, but some of my work in my gallery is commissioned and I don't believe my clients would be pleased if they saw the art they purchased on someone else's site.
