OKAY. YOU READY?
First off! :D
Sketches:
Typically, I don't usually offer sketches for art commissions because people don't tend to buy them...
Thus said, you could always offer a sketch along with a colored picture.
Since engrish is not my best language...
A short play will be used to demonstrate my meaning.
Artist: Blahblahblahblahblah*insert technical artist jargon here* blahblahblah
Me: o___o Ehwhut
Artist: So essentially... I'll show you a sketch before anything else, and you can go all like, "WOAH THERE. Y U NO DRAW HER 42 SEPARATE EYES" and I can go all like, "WOAH SORRY DOOD." and change it.
Me: Oh. Okay. But you DO know she has 43 eyes right?
Artist: OHSNAP.
o______o
You get my gist right?
Some artists don't have this option at all. Some artists do this for free. Some tack on a small fee to do this.
You can do any you want.
Sketchy pieces that are colored:
Okay...
Let me see.
The overall quality of this is fairly good (not like... o_o Xee and Uwi and Karma and Van what'shisface good.... but good)
However, a few things bug me about that picture.
See, you outlined it in black, which I can clearly understand, and colored it in. Again, I understand.
Am I correct in as.suming you filled it in with the paintbucket tool thing?
I'm kinda nitpicky, but I know from experience that the paintbucket doesn't always fill in every little spot. When doing sketchy pieces like this, it's often very exhausting to do, since sketchy lines are often loose, free lines that don't necessarily always connect to each other. If you have to connect all the lines, it sometimes will destroy the aforementioned loose, flowy line look. Just saying. o__o Sorry. Couldn't help myself :c
Overall quality is decent, and I'd personally pay around 1 mil or more for that kind of picture. More so if you keep improving your technique and anatomy and shading and whatnot. Since this isn't exactly a critique thing, more pricing, I'll avoid my usual banter and stuff.
Fullcolored, etc. etc. etc.:
Oooh, very nice! :D
2.5 mil, maybe more.
Again, going to be nitpicky and all 'artist critique person extraordinare' here and gonna mention a few things.
First off:
I like how you used either the dodge and burn tools, the smudge tool, or whatever variation of the smudge tool you have. However, keep in mind if you use them over a black line, it'll smudge it all up and screw up the quality of the picture. This is where outlining in black is troublesome. If one outlines in a very dark variation of the base color one is using for most of the art, it'll blend well and look natural. With black... :U Well, it makes it look dirty. Picture shading with many many many pencils on plain white paper. The lead will get on your palms, fingers, whatever right? If you're not careful, you might smudge your hand all over that paper, leaving pure, perfect fingerprints for identity thieves, the FBI, and/or Slenderman to use at their discretion. It's the same equivalent with the smudge tool. If used incorrectly, rather than making the picture look more natural, it'll look unnatural instead.
p______q
So much font.
TOO MUCH.
/flails/
Sorry about me going into critique mode there, I couldn't resist.
LOLOLOL
:c
They're not selling too well, and um..
I wanted to know how I could improve and etc. etc. etc.
They're supposed to be kinda messy and stuff.
8C I'm sorry if I destroy your eyes in the process of seeing these.
