Sketch commissions, anyone?

Hello people, I´m still alive. Hope you´re doing well, glad to see people still here. =)
Been away from TEF for a while because reasons and lack of any extra energy but it still has a big place in my heart, and I still haven´t gotten over from my obsession with deer etc. So I was hoping getting more back on drawing and thought to try my luck here, if anyone would even be interested to have their characters drawn. Hopefully it could be a good way to get doing more.... and not gonna lie, having even few euros more wouldn´t be a bad thing. =I

I was thinking to offer people (atleast at first) some simple traditional B&W drawings, pencil on paper, or maybe some inks. You´d get scans of the pics, or possibly posting the orginal can be discussed if you wish. Portraits of animal-characters etc preferable, TEF-deer faces probably doable but no realistic human-faces (still having trouble with those). Monsters are welcome. =) Can post examples here.
A4-sketches maybe ~10-25e, depending of complexity? Could probably also be able to make custom-painted figures/toys or miniatures (smallish, please) if you can provide me the figure/postage/etc. I can see for more specifics if needed.
Any interest?

I´m feeling like making some edits after a while, so thought to ask if anyone would like one?
Probably taking only one for now, maybe two depending how complex the designs are.
May take more later if I still feel like it. =)

1. No overly complex designs please, making markings from scratch is such a pain especially if they´re insanely difficult. Post some references/descriptions here and I´ll choose something to make from them.
2. You provide the screenshot used. Post a close-up (and maybe a backround if you want use a different one than there is) and possible wishes that you´d want to have done to it, or a reference-image. Also, if you want sharp details, provide a detailed screenshot. Rather that the image used wouldn´t have a pictogram on it if you want a different backround. I have some screenies also to be used, but not of every perspective/set-piece might needed.
3. These might not be done instantly, because making these takes me some time if they have lot to change.
4. Note that I use only stuff that is already in the game, so everything is taken from screenshots and manipulated. So do not ask adding wings or insane antlers for your deer.... unless you have a good screenshot to give where they can be taken/made from.
5. I´d rather have only one character/picture... but can be discussed if it´s not very difficult to make.


Some examples: X X X X

I´d try to get these done soon, if not today, depending of how the inspiration strikes me. =)


Done:

Click.
Just something I stumbled on in google and thought to share...
Makes me wish I could read russian, the pictures in this book are beautiful even though I can´t read the story. <3
The artist is apparently named Gennady Spirin, and the book is "TWO DEER WERE ENCOUNTERED".
Link found here.

I thought to share some old-school animation I found from youtube.
Recommended only if you have a interest for some really old, less famous animation.
Hope someone else finds them interesting also. =) Might be adding more later.

See under the cut.
NOTE: Some of these might be longer than just one part (mentioned below), but I uploaded only the first one here. You should be able to find rest of them easily from YouTube, though.


Category 1: deer-related films/shorts
Category 2: other old-school- animation (shorts&some movies)
Category 3: bit newer but unknown animated movies

Or atleast I hope that it´s not my computer that has suddenly broken... Seems like the game doesn´t connect like it should or I can´t see other players, but it can log me in and tells there´s 14 people on-line? Am I the only one who has this problem? Getting a bit worried already. =/

Thank you so much, you guys are awesome! <3<3

I ended up uploading the latest version of the game anyway... which results in Spyrre losing her skull-mask, and being huge compared to her usual size. The first thing isn´t that bad and she´ll be wearing the magpie-mask until I can recover her skull from the BZD, but with the second spell, I´d need some help. =/
So, if you see me (picto in my avatar) sitting in the mushroom-ring or just being "huge" in general, I´d appreciate any shape-sifting spells you can spare. The mini-spell is pretty much all special stuff I really need for my character. =)

Right now I´m sitting in the mushroom-ring next to the ruins, I´ll be leaving her there for a while.
Also, feel free to use her for getting pelt-spells if you are in need of a sleeping deer. =)

I´m sorry for bother you guys, but there´s a a thing I can´t make up my mind of. <_<

So, I got a request from DA from someone who says he´s a member of a band that would like to use my art on their cd-cover. I have never really done stuff like this, so can´t decide if I should give a permission or not, but since they´re not asking a custom-painting but just use of a existing one I might consider it. They did not mention of offering money of it and even if they did, I don´t have a paypal and don´t know about how to arrange things like that from outside of my country.
Ugh, I´m so useless in organizing stuff like this...

Is there someone who has done things like this before? I´d really appreciate some opinions on this, and I kind of trust you guys since I know there are brilliant artist and many intelligent people in this community. I have heard of some kind of scams where some people "cheat" art for them to use, but not sure at all how threatening such a thing is. =/
Any opinions are appreciated.

Will be deleting this later....

...just pondering, would it be too late after this time to change my deer´s name?
Because I´m very un-imaginative, almost every character of mine in every game I log in is named "Spyrre", and it´s been bothering me a while. She shares many features with an old character of mine on which my user-name is based on, but seems like she´s not really a deer-version of him anyway... My deer wasn´t supposed to be very much a "character" anyway orginally, but now since she´s developed enough personality to have a biography and to even be played in few RP:s, it would feel better if she had her "own" name, wouldn´t it?

So, after all this useless pondering, two questions:
Should I bother change her name or not?
And if I should, what I should call her?
I know that it´s really up to myself, but I´m asking this from you all because if I think this just by myself to deside whether or not, I will probably end up doing nothing even though it bothers me.

Since I suck at thinking up names, I would also appreciate suggestions for her name, if someone is kind enough to share some. All I can think of are probably lame Finnish words, like "Risu" (=means literally a stick or a small treebranch, which her smallish antlers somehow reminds me of ^^; ) or "Viima" (=small breeze of wind) or stuff like that, but they just sound so stupid somehow. This is just the very reason to why so many of my "characters" are named the same way... <_<

I shall be deleting this blog later...
Thank you for everyone who may bother to comment and help me to deside what to do. <3

....would anyone be interested to try some RP with my deer? =3


Bio

Meh. I don´t know exactly why, but I have been very tired recently. I haven´t had inspiration or energy to do much anything, art nor roleplay (which is bad, I used to play all the time o_O ). As everyone probably knows, this kind of phases are highly annoying, so I thought to ask if people had some tricks in their sleeves against these damn blocks.
What do you do when you have art/writing block?
Want to suggest an inspiring/fun movie/book/music/something else?
Maybe this could help me and other people suffering of the same "condition". =)

For my answer, movie-nerd as I am, I like to watch movies trying to gather some inspiration. The most inspiring movies I can think of are probably Princess Mononoke and Pan´s Labyrinth, but somehow I also enjoy of The Neverending story and such old fantasy movies. I listen music too, and have my mp3-player stuffed mostly with Susumu Hirasawa, Disturbed and Poets of the fall. It might have even worked, I actually got myself to paint again a bit listening music... <3
