In this thread, slight dips a toe in consumerism.

I would like to buy some stuff that needs to be bought with paypal. I have a paypal account, but it isn't linked to any bank account, so in order to use it, I need other people with paypal accounts to put money in it.

So, I'm drawing pictures for people for money on the internet again. If you have any requests of stuff you want drawn, and you're willing to pay for it, post here or PM me, and I will draw it, then you will give me money. The reason I'm posting this here is at least a couple of Asylumites asked about buying stuff a while back, but I wasn't selling at the time.

Pictures can be digital or physical.

As for physical stuff, it'd be pencils, ink, sharpie, acryllic, coffee, or mixed media on paper or cardboard. I do charcoal and pastels as well, but I doubt they'd ship internationally without getting all smeared up. Acryllic on canvas would be OK too if anyone really wants one (I haven't done a painting in years, so it would probably turn out shit, and with extra shipping costs it's probably best not to go there.)

Digital stuff can be in whatever format you need, whether it's intended for print or on screen. Animated GIFs are OK as well, as is flash .swf files, 3D modelling is fine too. Digital work will in general be a whole lot cheaper than stuff I have to physically ship. Think 10 bucks for a pretty sweet avatar image.

So, it's basicly your choice of medium, your choice of subject, your choice of how much you want to pay for it, within reason. I'll spend a *fair* amount of time and effort based on how much you offer, whether I think you're an asshole and whether I get into the subject matter. So, PaintChips, the rendition of the Mona Lisa you're willing to shell out two bucks for will get you a crappy stick figure which you can print out yourself, and tack, that dismemberred corpse i'll do you for free.

Also, is this sort of money-grubbing thread allowed at asylum?

Only as long as I get a 40% cut, and the Administration gets a 55% cut.

Do not listen to the limey, slight.

He meant 55% for him and 40% for the admins, which he will distribute in a fair manner.

Getting paid for art? I think "dips toe into delusion" would be a better name for this thread.

portfolio? whats that?
I guess with all the (relatively) new blood in here, i probably should post some examples.
Here's a bunch of jpegs and gifs that i can't be arsed sorting through.
and here is another 200 or so doodles on youdraw.com

gotta mention a couple of images in those jpgs, namely these ones...




...those aren't mine. They are done by a friend of mine who, as it happens, would also love to draw you some comissioned pictures.

You are a very talented fucker, slight. Have you ever considered submitting any of your work to Disney Studios (the clean stuff) just for shits and giggles. I met a guy whose brother did just that and now works for them, FWIW.

Also comic book publishers, etc?

I've thought of offering yours, but I somehow don't think the gods would be interested, plus I'm too fucking lazy to build a bonfire.

How are you at drawing tentacles? I might like to have you draw the alteration to my tattoo. I'm not against paying to help you out. It's just money. I'll get more.

Also, I wouldn't mind a sequential like that nursey deal you did to hang on my wall. We'll talk.

You missed that thread about the fag and the photoshoot then, smug?

Troll, I applied to Disney once and got through the umpteen levels of screening. Then they mentioned the life of a Disney animator begins with 10 years of long hours in-betweening Winnie the Pooh for subsistence wages with zero prospects of promotion because it's a fucking priviledge to work at Disney, I wasn't too keen. Then, when they said they didn't use computers whatsoever in the Sydney studio, I walked out of the interview.

I'm sure a lot has changed in the last 10 years though.

In anycase, it's not like I'm unemployed. I simply want some more internet money, to buy internet stuff, since I don't use credit cards.

Whatever happened with the fag photoshoot?

There are others trying to make money in a somewhat similar way...

I turned it down, figuring that for $200 an hour it would likely involve a money shot.

Yea, I got that email too, in fact, it's what put the idea in my head to make this thread. That, and that I've been telling my friend Garrick he should be selling his work on the internet.
