Commission Me! | FAQ | Patreon ---- Hey guys ^^ I think one of the most common things I see in the art community are people asking advice about commissions. How much to price their work, how to start, how to market themselves, etc. While I might not be the most seasoned of freelancers, I have certainly learned quite a bit through my own experiences and others. Hopefully what I share can be helpful to you as well  And if you have any additional advice to share, please comment below, I'm sure someone may find it useful -- How do I know if I'm ready to start commissions? / I don't feel like my art is worth offering commissions for.

Watercolor is fun and can make beautiful results. It's a transparent (or translucent) medium, and so most books and common knowledge about watercolor says that you must work from light to dark. Light colors won't show up very well over dark colors due to the transparency, and so that is the stated reason. But it seems that this advice comes mostly from books and articles about watercolor that focus on the traditional workflow of purist watercolor. But like most people, I've come to learn that it's best to ignore the rules and find out for yourself. There's actually a few reasons why you may choose to ignore this rule and work in either direct

Update 01/01/2017 Hey guys. Just a small update when it comes to the contest The submission date is over. I will be adding every single work to the contest folder within the next few days. But DeviantArt is buggy, and I might have missed a few notifications.   If you entered, please check if your work is in the contest folder. If it somehow isn't, shoot me a message so I can add it. To be honest... I have over 200 entries and I had never expected so many. Judging will therefore be a lot harder than I originally imagined, moreover because a lot of people added great descriptions to their submissions and it's going to take me some time to rea

Commission Me! | FAQ | Patreon ---- In a year and a half I've gone from zero to over 10,000 watchers. Sounds totally crazy, even to me. (Though I'm super appreciative!) I'm writing this journal out to explain to ya'll how that happened and how I continue to increase my number of watchers. Hopefully the information here can help you in growing your own audience Three quick disclaimers first before I get into the nitty-gritty of things: 1. These are not the only ways one can market themselves. This is just how I went about/continue to go about doing things. It's what I found most easiest and convenient for me. I'm no marketing expert, I lea

So we will make a different ways to host raffles, contests, etc Anyone can join at any time~ There is no limit Rules applies with all DA rules and group rules. Here's how it will play out: You will choose a team, currently there's two Kings that lead two teams which is the Black King and the White King, after choosing the team, you will need to create a character for the team. Keep this in mind that you can only choose one team!! If new Kings arrive, there will be two weeks for you to switch teams if you want. Create a character using the character sheet that's for the team you want to join. Make sure to label "Black" or "White" this word

In honor of NaNoWriMo I wanted to do at least one journal about writing this month, even though I'm no expert. Writing is everywhere I feel like writing is one of the most unseen and perhaps even most under appreciated forms of art these days. Writing is virtually everywhere, yet it's very much overlooked. People tend to think about writing as just the stuff you read in books, but what about blogs and journals? What about your favorite game, movie, show, or anime? What about your favorite comic? Would you even like your favorite character that much if it didn't come with that backstory that made you feel so much for it? Yes, that's writing.
