Art Sales

[quote name="UnholyFidelity" date="2024-05-01 19:50:03" ] @/Razatharia That is definitely possible, tho doing both a blink and bob would be extra since manipulating more than one part is rather cumbersome given how I make them. I've updated my pricing to be a little more thorough with explanations, so definitely be sure to check them before you decide which you prefer. Either way, I can do it. [/quote] Absolutely! I was planning on paying above your listed prices regardless lol, I'm glad you updated it to be more thorough <3 I'd love to get a dynamic animation of him, the main thing I'd like to be included is the blue tongue, but honestly I'm happy to let you have creative freedom with the animation (the blinking/bobbing is a suggestion but not required if you feel like doing something else with him) :D For full transparency, I will be paying at least double your listed prices because your art is really good and I love pixel animations so much. I personally think they're worth more than what you're charging, but I guess you've labeled them as cheap for a reason! Either way, as an artist myself, I like supporting fellow artists as much as I can <3 Also, may I ask what program you use to make these? I've been really wanting to try some pixel art & animation myself lately, but I haven't figured out how exactly to do it just yet lol

@UwUwha Your commission is complete [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Ra1ebKT.gif[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/hbh2RaY.gif[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/7uTI5bM.gif[/img][/center] Also, I thought the initial lineart was especially cute, so you can have it as a freebee. Do with it as you will if anything https://i.imgur.com/Gdj2tqE.png [size=1][s]don't mind the fact that the tentacles come out of the wrong spot! TUNNEL VISION GO BRRRRR[/S][/SIZE] ----- @LizzardRainbowz I'm not taking any more commissions ATM, but the ping list is open if you want to know when they reopen [center][pinglist=27995][/center] ----- @Razatharia That is most definitely doable. I already have a sketch for him ready to go once I have time to digitize and animate it. As for pricing, I work better with less pressure, since high prices make me feel like it has to be absolutely pixel perfect, which results in a piece taking many times longer than it needs to. Dealing with stress is not my forte~ Also, I know there are plenty of people on this game who don't have the means to spend real life money on this game, be it financial issues, or just the fact that they are underaged and don't have a card yet. I think art should be available to everyone, not just those willing to break the bank, especially when it's simple things like pixel art. That being said, I'm simply in a beneficial circumstance to run my commissions this way. Artists should definitely price their art the way they believe it should be given how much time and effort is usually put into learning the craft. The program I use is called FireAlpaca. It's a free art program that's really more meant for larger-scale pieces, but you can do pixel art by turning off anti-aliasing and using a smaller brush. You could probably do the same in other programs that have the option to turn off anti-aliasing. I animate with ezgif.com/maker by saving the individual frames as transparent pngs and using the manually ordered upload" option. There are certainly easier ways of doing this, especially if you have a video editor, but I'm a cheapskate and prefer to use free resources when possible and I can't wrap my head around any of the free animation/video editing programs I've looked into. Thx for coming to my ted talk

Oh, that's completely valid! I can definitely understand high price = high pressure, and that becoming a roadblock for making art. I actually just recently got over feeling burnt out from making art because I was putting too much pressure on myself—I did some loose, no-stakes, not-allowed-to-take-it-too-seriously art to help break out of it (and remembered how much I do like drawing in the process), so I completely understand <3

And I didn't realize you could do pixel art in FireAlpaca, that's cool! I haven't used that program myself, but I know some people who do and I've heard good things. I also use free resources whenever I can lol—I don't know if it does pixel art, but I tried some 2D animation in Blender once and that was neat. I also found Piskel while looking up making pixel art/animation, and it seems pretty awesome as well; it's also free, and browser-based (but you can download a version of it as well for offline use and such). I haven't done much pixel art in the past, other than the occasional thing here or there in MS Paint lol

Anyway, I admire the work you put into your art! It seems like it would be a bit of a hassle to save each frame individually and assemble them elsewhere, but hey, whatever works! I think I've actually used ezgif before; I did some animating on paper a few years back and took pictures of each frame then put them together with that website iirc :D

WOAHHHHHH!!!! Naal looks absolutely so awesome, I love the little blink and the way you draw her in your style :D! And no worry about the tentacles either, as long as you enjoyed making her ^^!
Also I do agree, the lineart is super cute. I might end up coloring it in on my own time if you don't mind (and if you do, no worries I'll just keep it up on the virtual mantelpiece unchanged)
Thank you for both the freebie and animating Naal so well!

@UwUwha Feel free to do whatever you want with it. Heck, even trace it for all I care. I just thought it was a shame to delete it since she's so cute. I'm glad you liked it too ,,^.^,, ----- @theflamebreath I haven't had a lot of time to work on commissions, but I finished one of yours today. The other may be done by Sunday unless I'm able to work on it tomorrow night. We'll see tho bc I may not get back home til late ;w; [center][img]https://imgur.com/HpBlscX.png[/img]

@unholyfidelity

Thank you so muchhh!!!! I love it! It's incredible how much detail you manage to put into such a small piece!

@theflamebreath Whoops my finger slipped and I accidentally made two versions and one became a gif. These things happen. Oh well, guess I'll send it along anyway >3> [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Ra1ebKT.gif[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/t02avaW.gif[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/ggtO8iv.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/HPEagvR.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/7uTI5bM.gif[/img] [s]Thank you for your patience TwT[/center]

@UnholyFidelity OMG THANKS!!! You went above and beyond with this one! It's absolutely perfect and I wish I could commission you 1000 more!

@Razatharia [s]i'm bad at remembering to ping. Soz[/s] Your commission is complete! I kinda forgot the blinking part, so there's a non-blinking one too. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Ra1ebKT.gif[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/uOVKysG.gif[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/OrhhO0N.gif[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/7uTI5bM.gif[/img] ----- @theflamebreath I accidentally deleted the post that had your art in it while fiddling with Razatharia's commissions!!! Thankfully I still had the piece open in my art program, so I was able to remake them. Sorry for the inconvenience!!!! T~T (i put the remade versions in the last post I pinged you on) [center][img]https://media.tenor.com/0K7Rh0nsVokAAAAM/grovel.gif[/img][/center]
