Short and sweet, I'll have a new laptop by next week or sooner.. UPDATES TO FOLLOW!!

So. In case you folks have wondered where I've been, well.. I've been home. Only a few days after my plea forcommissions, my laptop's GPU (ie. Graphics Card) gave out after seven years of tough service. Of course it's an integrated one, so the odds of replacing it cheaply are.. well, not very good. Chances are with some luck in the next month I may be able to swing a basic replacement, as any current gen basic comp is going to be better than what I had! It's strange, but it's to the point where my system was so unstable even photoshop and internet sites were being affected.

Hello all, community and friends. Long ago I promised myself I wouldn't do this.. but I am sure I am not the first to think so. I am sure I won't be the least. To me the small group of people who follow me and enjoy my art are often closer and more understanding than my own siblings and that means so much to me - and so it's with a truly humble heart that I put this out there.

SO! As many of you know, I hit a major delay for a few months here on DA. I have been commuting an hour or better each way (Sometimes up to 3 hours in bad weather or snow) to work, and have had my schedule switched four times. Add to it that I have now technically moved 3 times, and you see where sometimes I only have enough energy to play with one or two folks are a time and then randomly drop dead.

Well.. soon, lots of that should change. For the better I mean. Monday May 6 I start a new job, with new hours. I will finally have most of my weekends back ..and eventually, I hope to afford a new computer (on a fun note, my brother promised me one weeks ago and screwed me over. Surprise.). So I hope to wrap up quite a few drawings and then get back into the swing of things. I guess I just wanted to tell all of you thank you for the support and patience, and let you know that it will eventually all be worth it.

Thank you for the amazing community and feedback, and support as things have been insane. I'll be keeping you all posted!!

Alrighty folks, the holidays are approaching and with less time to spend on game- I've decided to spend a little more of my odd hours getting back to artwork. As many of you know this is peak season for my work, so you'll just have to bear with me on appearing in-game but I will again, no worries! That being said here's what's currently in works for commissions.

As a test, I'll be offering *FIVE* "paid" slots for artwork at a time. Once those slots or filled (or I close the slots after idle time, whichever happens first) I will begin the round. This does NOT include my trade list/gift list from a number of weeks ago. Those are still rolling in. You are all certainly welcome to opt for paid commissions in addition to what you have coming and I will never turn the opportunity down as I'm working toward a new laptop, but it will not eliminate the gift arts .

1) Contact me at IZZYKINS@HOTMAIL.COM with your preffered commission types, listed below! For now, you may only request ONE type of artwork, and one artwork slot will be awarded. However, if during the process you would prefer to "upgrade" the artwork to a different type, you will simply add for the difference owed. (ie, a BW Lineart Bust-type artwork can be upgraded to full color, but not a "full body" - not without extensive additions and changes to the art due to how I work. ) All artwork will feature one character, unless otherwise agreed upon by me in advance for a special price.

- My Five Current "Types" of Art Commissions -

* BW Lineart [Bust-Type] - $7.00 USD: Examples @
fav.me/d4ss2lj
fav.me/d59u8t9

* BW Lineart [Full-Body Type] - $10.00 USD: ((Don't worry, this WILL include legs and feet!)) Example @ fav.me/d48rzns

* COLOR Art [Bust-Type] (Traditional Media, including marker or colored pencils) - $13.00 USD *OR* $16.00 USD FOR DIGITAL COLOR!: Examples @
fav.me/d48sbm4 - Traditional
fav.me/d5bkgmb - Digital

* COLOR Art [Full-Body Type] (Traditional media, including marker or colored pencils) - $20.00 USD *OR* $25.00 USD FOR DIGITAL COLOR! ((Don't worry, this WILL include legs and feet!)) : Examples @
fav.me/d53n0r5

2) Once i've been contacted for your requests, I will confirm you are one of the five slotted artworks and request notes about your characters, and possibly screenshots for fashion sense! If you don't mind too much, I will likely use your armory details and go from there.

3) Once payments are confirmed I will begin the commission process, which will go 1 - 2 weeks at the most depending on the complexity of the art and other factors (Usually about a week for the rough art, and a week for the final). You will receive a rough artwork version of your character and will be allowed to ask for minor edits and tweaks before the final art gets worked on. Upon delivery your artwork will be posted and will also be emailed in hi-res format so you can use it on your sites, etc. Please credit and give me feedback!

** I reserve the right to refuse commissions if I think the subject is too disturbing, or what have you, though it has yet to happen. All characters are copyright their respective creators and will only be used with permission unless noted - remember, WOW is owned by Blizzard! Unless other arrangements are made, most projects will be asked to be paid in advance and under circumstances, refunds or credits will be handled individually. I use PayPal exclusively for payments on artwork and graphic design. Feel free to ask for more details!! - Izzy, the Player
