Look at that, I'm out of money again.
So once more I bug you with this:

Seriously, Hyel's your bitch for money. I'm available for commissions of any shape - pictures, words, websites. The fee is more or less my hourly wage of €6 per hour plus shipping and printing costs. So:

2 hrs start to finish: €12
4 hrs: €24
6 hrs: €36

...and so on. I used to say the highest price for pictures, no matter how long the commission took, would be €70, but holy cow, some of these are taking so long I'll put that up to €100. But that's max. ([info]laridian, don't worry, the Androsynth one is still just €70, posting and all.)

I get high quality prints at a local photography shop, they also do mousepads and things, but for that we also have Cafepress, which is more suitable if you're American and want that stuff. The shop's printing costs in euros:

10x8 cm 0.19
10x13 cm 0.25
10x15 cm 0.29
10x18 cm 0.35
10x25 cm 0.39
11x15 cm 0.29
15x20 cm 0.65
15x23 cm 0.65
20x30 cm 2.90
23x30 cm 2.90
30x40 cm 6.90
30x45 cm 6.90
50x70 cm poster 32.00
70x100 cm poster 54.00

Also, if you'd like an original and/or a signed colour print of any of my earlier works, that can usually be arranged for the printing and shipping fee plus, say, €10. All my originals are b/w.

It did, just now! I sent it on to my bank account, from which I could actually use it, and it should be arriving sometime next week. ^^; Bit of a bother all this. I must borrow from the boys, I think, just so I can send off Laridian's commission, and yours (er right haven't sent that yet), but at least I know more or less when I'll have the money to pay them back. We do that a lot, the boys and I, lend money back and forth.

*hug*snug* It was a joy to make!

I'm willing to pay for the Esmeralda/Saradoc and Paladin/Eglantine that I requested a while back. I can't figure out these prices, though.

Oh! I completely forgot about that!

...I know I promised it but I need the money so er, um. You'll get a discount!

Simple B/W pics: €12-18 - plus shipping and printing costs, if you want them shipped or printed, of course you can just take the file.

Simple coloured pics: €18-28.

Complicated colour pics: €28 and up.

But since I promised, I'll let you name the price.

It's awful, especially because I really do have a commission that I'm saving up for. (Saving being scrounging all the five dollar notes that I can and being a sad loser). Thing is, I have no access to paypal, and I think what I'm asking would take a while, which means I'd need $300 + australian, excluding postage, and that is...bad.

In the hope of having future funds, though: if I sent you various reference pieces of two people, would you be able to create something with both of them in it...holding eachother or something? I'm being an awful sap, but cross-hemisphere relationships do that to a person.

Oh dear! I think I could throw in the postage, I have some tubes left over, and that's probably the costliest part of postage.

I'm pretty sure you COULD get PayPal. You don't need a credit card for it. I don't have a credit card myself. Although I don't think I can transfer money on the PayPal account from my bank account; I can transfer from PayPal to the bank...

Why 300? Translating from euros to Australian dollars would make my top price 160. Although I know that making an international money order is hellishly expensive... This is why PayPal is usually such a good option.

Besides, your commission doesn't actually sound that time-consuming. Send me the photos and further definitions, I'll make the thing. (You wouldn't want pirates in it? the last couple did. :D) Then we'll also find out how long it took, and know the eventual price, and you'll get postage free, and you'll pay when you can. I probably won't be able to post it right away due to being so terribly broke myself, but at the latest after I receive the pay!

*stunned* You're incredible. I'd still like to have some form of decent money before I send anything, so that I can set it aside and feel comfortable, but thank you so much for even offering. *starts looking for best pictures of girlfriend*

And no, no pirates. *grin*

Would you be willing/able to do Darcy and Elizabeth kissing in four hours? Because I really can't afford more than that, and I know it's not really your fandom, but the idea's in my head now...

Certainly! Colour? I can do colour in four hours, if it's a simple picture with no furniture (a lot of it anyway) or any remarkable amounts of English countryside. Would you like me to keep to or be suggested by the (oh, so pretty) television series versions, Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle?

Yay! *bounces* Colour would be nice, thank you :^) If you do do a little bit of background, I'd probably prefer it inside rather than outside, but whatever you think would look best. (And can the kiss be quite passionate, too? *voyeur*)

Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle would be much with the good, thankyouverymuch :^D By the way, vis-a-vis paying--Just so you know, I don't have a chequebook with my account but I'm trying to get one, and I'm setting up a Paypal account in the next week or so. Is PayPal okay? I could send money through the post, but that might be a bit risky...

PayPal is the way I've done it every other time! It's handy, isn't it? Well, the week's wait both ways is annoying, but other than that it really is the best way to transfer funds.

Whee! I have something meaningful to do tonight!

Four hours was a pretty good estimate - took 3 and a half. So, hum, what's that? €21. I can send you the B/W original if you add the shipping cost, and a print from the local if you add that - it should be, hum. Probably the 15x20 print, 65 cents, and shipping, hum, another 65, add 10 for the big envelope, wow, would set you back €1,40, heh.



Big version for better printing

Can I show it off on my various sites to snare more clients?

Oh!

I think my heart stopped there, just for a moment. That's gorgeous. *has enormous grin on face*

So about €23, da? I think my PayPal account is set up properly. What email addy do you want me to send it to?

*keeps staring at picture* Oh, so pretty! I love Lizzie's hand in darcy's hair. And her dress. And eee! *bounces happily* Heh, I'm feeling all possessive of it now. But yes, by all means, use it to get other people to make you draw :^) Can you put a little note with it saying I'd prefer people don't use it for anything themselves, though?

*bounces*

Yay! She likes it!

Yep, €23! It's hyelpochi at gmail dot com.

I can put that note in - I could put a watermark too. Actually, yeah, I'll put a note AND an annoying watermark. :D

And here is a working link to the big picture - silly me, it was a png, not a jpg. Let me know when you've downloaded it so I can take it offline (so that nobody else will ever get a high res print)!

Okay, I sent the money through paypal--can you tell me if you get it, so I know it's gone through already? You popped my paypal cherry... :^)

An annoying watermark would be lovely. And I've downloaded it now, too :^) Eee, the picture makes me feel all happy inside! I showed my flatmates and they are suitably impressed also. Huzzah!

Mwahaa, cherry. *makes note*

Thank you, thank your flatmates. :) Whee! Let's see if I can get that money on my bank account next week. If so, it's doubled what I'm currently expecting, and will allow me to print and send more stuff. Currently I'll be able to afford to print and send yours and Ruby's, because they're small, but Laridian's will have to wait...

If it's going to bankrupt you, don't worry too much about sending the pic OMGRIGHTNOW--I can't wait to see the original but obviously you not dying of starvation or anything is more important :^)

Heh! Well, it does rather seem like an either or situation. I might get some extra cash this weekend... Yes, I'll at least wait till Monday!

The original's boring though, just a b/w. :D Oh, do you want me to sign the print as well? I could make it all small and inobtrusive so it won't get in the way of the image. Of course the whole thing will be exclusive anyway.

I apologize for being a total live-journal moron, but I couldn't figure out how to send you an e-mail. Or maybe this is the equivalent?..I so need sleep.

Anyway, I'm obsessed with your "running with wolves" drawing you posted on a fanart site, and I'd like to see if you could do a drawing for me based on a fanfiction wip I have going.

If you want, you can drop me a line at Cotopaximtn@aol.com, and I can send you the link and the sections of the chapter I'd like illustrated. If the descriptions interest you and you'd like to do one, that'd be cool. If not, cool. Life is all about choice. :)

I'm fairly poverty-stricken, but I need art is my opiate at the moment. :)
