We're having a bit of trouble making ends meet this month on bills and the rent.  We're an inch away from the utilities being shut off, and most of my paycheck goes to groceries, gas to get me to work, and rent.  I need help.

My tablet is out of commission at the moment (no thanks to a certain kitten of mine who decided it was a good idea to chew through Mommy's tablet cord), so all I can offer is traditional media commissions.

Below are the prices and eamples of what I can offer.  If you have an idea that doesn't eactly fit the options, shoot me a note and I can totally work something out with you.  And I am totally into giving discounts for multiple orders.

Shipping is a flat fee of additional $3.  The original pieces will be shipped to you in their own protective sleeves in a no-bend photo mailer via USPS.  If you want tracking, I can upgrade to Priority, with an increase in the shipping cost of course.

Turnaround time is about a week, give or take depending on the amount of work or size of work, not including shipping time.

Right now I'm asking for payment upfront, as I have less than a week to pay my electric and cable (the internet is needed for job hunting and doing this) before they both get disconnected.  If you're not comfortable with this, please let me know and we can work something out.  Also, PAYPAL ONLY at this time.  The mail is just not fast enough to get cash to me before my bills are due.

Now, onto the goodies.  Prices are in USD.

Hey guys.  Dropped off the face of the earth there for a bit.  Being a senior in college will do that to you.

Been working on a lot this semester.  Oil paintings to be exact.  Keep an eye out for more work, and I tell you it's very different from my digital work.  I may have to do a purge of my gallery soon-ish.  it's getting way out of hand.

Also, new contact information below - if anyone wants to get ahold of me or swap Follows or Friends or what have you, let me know!

<3  you all.

[Amendment]  At the mention by a friend of mine, I'm a little odd-feeling about accepting donations - i just prefer to work for money earned but I would never turn down any kindness.  If you aren't interested in a commission but would still like to help out, donations can be sent via Paypal to kou@marginaliastudios.com.  ANY amount is helpful, it really is, and it would be so appreciated.  Thank you!


I have finally finished my price list and TOS for my regular commissions!  My slots are completely open and there is currently no limit.

Check out eyeplusfork.wordpress.com/comm… for more information - if you would like to commission me, please Note me here on DA or email me at kou@marginaliastudios.com!

Also, my digital portrait sale is still ongoing until Feb 29th!  tearoomengland.deviantart.com/…


All proceeds go toward moving us out at the end of next month.  Our lease is running out and our current place is pretty terrible, so we are not renewing the lease - which means we need to move our asses out by March 1st.  Money is extremely tight at the moment, so I am taking commissions to supplement the costs of keeping myself, my roommate, and our two cats off the street.  We literally have nowhere else to go if we cannot get the money together.

If you can commission me, THANK YOU SO MUCH!  If you can't, thank you for reading this at least, and if you could pass on the word or pimp me out, it would be so very much appreciated!

<3 KOU, Draco, and Freya and Peppo

[EDIT THE SECOND]  Added a small cell-shaded headshot sale into this mix!  Check HERE (non-furry, SFW) for examples and more information (so I don't clutter this too much.

[EDIT] Awesome, so our rent check bounced this month, and I won't have the entirety of next month's rent, let alone moving out funds. I'm slashing these further in hopes of enticing someone to take a slot or two. Please, I'd really appreciate the help. We really don't want to end up on the street instead of in a nicer apartment. Thank you.

Hello all my lovely watchers (and non-watchers who stumble across this)!  I'm in need of moving-out funds and bills are sucking up the majority of my paychecks, so I'd like to open a small handful of slots for portraits like this one:

tearoomengland.deviantart.com/…
tearoomengland.deviantart.com/…
tearoomengland.deviantart.com/…

These can be monochromatic or full-color and are fully shaded rather than cell-shaded bust portraits.  Commissioners get a full-sized 200-dpi file and an optional cropped 100px icon.  :3

Monochromatic
Single character:  $15 USD  $10 USD

Full-Color
Single character: $25 USD  $20 USD

1 Extra character is an additional $5.  Backgrounds are only complementary single color or variegated colors and are included.


PAYPAL ONLY.  1/2 upfront is required before work is started, then the other 1/2 upon approval of water-marked version.  Full-sized file is delivered after full payment is complete.  **NO money is spent until the pieces are complete!**

Note me or comment here for one!

Thanks, loves!

Tomorrow.

I turn 26.

Kinda wish I had a reason to be excited about it.  I think once you hit 25, there aren't any ages left to look forward to.  And it just reminds me of how so not mature I am despite my age (which bothers me from time to time).  Meh.  

And I get to spend the morning hauling my ass up at ass o'clock in the morning for a donut shift, just to get to be told all morning everything I do wrong and how bad I am at my job.  IF I'M SO BAD AT IT, BITCH, THEN STOP SCHEDULING ME FOR IT.  You don't get to shake your finger at me, then keep scheduling me for it so you can continue to do so.  I'm so fucking close to walking out of that shithole.

Goodie fucking gumdrops.

On the up side, Silvie's coming up tomorrow, and gaming on Saturday, so i AM excited about that.  Fuck working on Saturday, I'm calling out sick, and they can kiss my lily white Irish ass.

Cheers.
