I need some Input from you devios people you! :)

Tue Mar 17, 2009, 5:39 PM
Ok Hi everybody...yes yes I'm horrible updater. >_<

This entry is for two major reasons though.

1. I want to interact with all my fabulous watchers ^__^

2. I need some artistic advice.


For awhile now I've been searching and searching for a way to make some income with my artistic talents. I've decided to try my hand at doing some commissions here and few other sites...more specifically a few sites that allow me to post my artwork up for sale as well as on products like T-shirts and other stuff!


here's what i need from all of you guys!!!!

What (if anything) would you like to see made into t-shirts, prints, mugs, bags, calendars, mouse pads ect.....?????


would anybody be interested in commissions or sketches of original characters for cheap.



THE REASON:

I'm currently trying to peruse my career in animation but i've hit a bump in the creative road and I really want to further my digiatl art skills. SOOOOOO I'm trying to make enough money to get this:

so every little bit helps...including your opinions of my art.

Thanks in advance:)

yes, i figured you would be tracking me down again...lol....

I have been attempting your characters here and there but i just don't have the time to devote to it completely. Between trying to get back into the Art Institute and other personal projects, I barely have time to draw my own original character. So I'm afraid you are going to have to try to find someone else more qualified to help you. Sorry :( Don't worry..there are millions that will be willing...it's a super cool idea you have!
thanks for the watch!
I noticed in your journal that you want to be an animator? Me too!! Have you had any internships yet or anything??
no i haven't gotten any internships yet...:( sadly..but i'm currently going to school for animation (well soon) which will be nice....how about you?...where are you at so far on the road to awesomness?..haha I REALLY love your work and I actually see a lot of similarities in our cartooning styles...especially in canines. (I don't have a lot of my new stuff uploaded here of canine stuff) My main "original character" is a Great Dane named Bernie! maybe sometime in the future we can do a collaboration piece of our poochies! haha just out of curiousty...where did you get your name colonel strawberry?
Me either, and i am going to school for animation, although im getting mad because i really dont think its teaching me anything.

You're main character sounds sweet, i love great danes, and thats certainly a possibility!

And funny story about his name, i was sitting bored in a class and drew him, and then i decided to give him the stupidest name that popped into my head at that second, and it was... Colonel strawberry!
hahaha that is pretty funny... the reason i asked is because (i don't know how old you are) but when i was a little kid there was a cartoon that had a character named colonel Strawberry! LOL I tried to find the name of the show to show you but i can't remember the name of it ...oh well..

I'm kind of upset about my schooling too. I haven't gotten into my courses yet because of a huge mix up in financial aid...>_< but i think i'm doing a better job at teaching myself haha

You have some pretty great stuff too! you don't seem like you need much schooling.
Omg really?? Was it a dog?? If you think of it let me know, maybe i saw it years ago and it subconsciously came back to me that day XD

And yeah, i might actually be having financial aid problems this year, which sucks because i wanted to get an apartment by my school (college for creative studies in Detroit) Which school were you going into??

Teaching myself gave me a really nice step ahead of the other students, who i was surprised couldnt really even draw, let alone animate. Art school is a bitch waste of money, but what else can ya do? So just practice until you get in, and then show them all up. Although i feel like i cant learn anything because there arent a lot of people who are better than me, even a lot of upperclassmen. Which is sad.
