Commission Information
Materials....
My primary source of medium is coloured pencils. I use a variety of different types to complete the drawings. I don't believe that "the more expensive pencil, the better the product!". While I know that yes, having schmancy pencils is nice, it's VERY pricey and I'm a brokeass and I don't have that kind of money. It's all about how you use them. I also mix a variety of utensils - I do sometimes use watercolour pencils for my artwork, as well as watercolours, pastels, wax crayons and also markers, and inks. I DO NOT use computer generated colouring because I, for one, don't know how, and two, I really don't feel like doing anything that way and for me, traditional artwork is much more fun. Most of my drawings are done on 8.5 X 11 sheets of printer paper. I, however, do have a variety of paper types that I sometimes do like to use, depending on the picture. Unless specified, I may draw your drawing on a paper that is slightly larger then 8.5 X 11 - either 9 X 13 or something. For anything grossly larger, charges may apply.
What I Draw and What I Don't Draw
In terms of what I will draw, I'm pretty lenient. Over my years of drawing, I've done many types of drawings, but there are still things that I don't want to draw simply because I really don't want to draw it. Don't offer to pay me more money because it's not happening. Not even for 1 million dollars - I stand my ground and I would hope that you would respect me. There are many artist out there who WILL draw your stuff - very fabulous artists - so take your business elsewhere.
What I Will Draw:
* Nudity : Anything TASTEFUL -i.e NOT PORN. I will also do risque drawings (sexy poses, provocative poses, that doesn't bother me. I won't draw masturbation, giant penises having sex with stuff, tenticles..you get the point.) I love drawing nudity, I think it's a great part of any artist, but I will not draw porn.
* Your characters : If you have a character that you would like me to draw, I will gladly draw him or her for you!
* My characters : I will draw them for you, too, if you would like.
* Humans, anthros, fantasy creatures,etc. : I love drawing all types of things because it helps me grow as an artist. Altho you probably think I am an "anthro artist" I actually don't consider myself as such. I like to draw many things so if you have humans or whatever I'll do that!
* Favourite Band/ Celebrities : Yup, I'll draw them all tripped out, too.
* Realistic Stuff : While I'm not the greatest, I WILL draw more realistic stuff for you. I prefer to draw more stylized things, but if this is something you would like me to try, I will do this for you as well!
What I Won't Draw
* Porn : I don't think I can really stress this too much more. I will NOT draw porn. NUDITY IS NOT PORN - keep in mind. I'm willing to do nudity, but I will not do porn. If you are confused and don't quite know if what you want me to draw is or isn't porn, type in "porn" in your Google image search, turn your safe filter off, and watch all the wonderful images come up. If what you want shows up there, chances are I will not draw it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Keep in mind that most of my drawings end up having a background, unless otherwise stated. If the commissioner requests anything specific, I will do as such. I really enjoy doing backgrounds (nature stuff is my favourite!) because it helps me expand as an artist. If you are still unclear or still have questions, don't be afraid to CONTACT ME!
Time Length/Duration of Drawing...
I really don't see a point in making anyone wait for a huge period of time for something that I usually can get done in a matter of a day (no joke.). Therefore, you drawings should not be more then two weeks to be completed. HOWEVER, keep in mind that because I do work and have a social life I don't always have time for artwork and it may take longer to draw. Your drawing should never take more then a month to draw, unless what you are requesting is larger then 9 X 13. Larger images will more then likely take longer. I also like to scan the sketches of my drawings and email them to my requesters so they can let me know if theres anything I need to change. I love to keep in contact with that person - I expect them to do the same as well. DRAWINGS ARE NOT SKETCHED UNTIL I RECIEVE PAYMENT.

I accept most forms of payment. I accept Paypal, cheques, money orders and well concealed cash. If you send your money any other way other then Paypal, please note that I'm not responsible if your money has got lost in the mail. Make sure that you secure your payment! The best method to pay me is through Paypal. My Paypal address is: lbdomain@hotmail.com . PLEASE SEND MONEY TO THAT ADDRESS. IF YOU DO NOT SEND MONEY TO LBDOMAIN@HOTMAIL.COM, I WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR MONEY.
Other Stuff
Please, if you are commissioning a picture of specific characters, please send me good reference pictures or a good description of that character so I can have something to work off of. Reference pictures are VERY important, I'm not going to go searching through the web looking for a reference of your character/whatever. This is important, so that I can get your character right. Please don't send me dinky pictures of your characters heads or something - I would prefer a full bodied picture, but if you only have a picture of thier head please let me know what thier lower parts look like so I don't make shit up. If it is something that is normal or familiar to me, you probably won't have to worry about references (such as, a band that I love i.e Rammstein or a character of mine) but if it is anything else references are crucial.
