"Get random to Europe" Fund

[kiffie]

My roomie, the awesome and spiff-tacular random_redshirt, is going to Europe this summer as part of a school trip. As you can probably guess, what with the Euro continually kicking the Dollar in the face, this is going to cost a bit of money.

Me an' random put our brainmeats together, trying to come up with a way to earn some delicious, delicious cash that wouldn't end with us A) in jail, or B) breaking the space-time continuum, and we eventually came to the realization that kiffies can kinda-sorta draw and that this should clearly be capitalized upon.

So-- I offer doodles in exchange for the house to myself for a month help sending my most awesome roomie across the sea.



$5 - sketch.

$10 - inked picture.

$15 - painted window mascot.

$20 - colored (painted) picture.

To see more examples of my art, click on the "art" tag on this entry. Note that art meme sketches are f-locked.

All pictures are on 8x10 Bristol (workable area), while window mascots are approx. 5x5.

As this is being done for money, and not simply a request meme, I can't do copyrighted characters. Unless you own the copyright, then, by all means, commission away.

I don't require reference pics if you provide a good enough text description, but they are helpful, especially with pets or characters with specific armor or clothing.

I will need your mailing address so I can send the finished doodle, unless you either don't want the actual, physical doodle, or are hiding from an evil wizard -- then I can provide a fairly nice scan. Window mascots, as they are tape-laminated on Bristol, will need to be mailed.

And, in regards to payment: Once your doodle is done, I'll PM you and send you mailbox details. I take personal checks and other forms of mailable currency. Don't mail cash (it ends badly, especially over the American/Canadian border). All of what I make here goes to random -- it's easier if I cut her one, large check, rather than her trying to put multiple, small checks towards her Europe fund, so the checks get made out to me rather than her.



Any takers?

Me! Me! Me!

I'd love a painted window mascot. That would be totally of the awesome.

I collect winged lions. As in Big Kittehs with Wings. :-) Real lifelike or doodly or colorful cartoony is fine. Whatever strikes you. :D

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

This thing I shall do!

Should it be facing right, or left?

[cyloran.livejournal.com]

Well ... if you're not overwhelmed with orders, howz about one for each? I've got two stone lions on my balcony (they iz nekkid cuz theyz got no wings). So why not for the car?

So, mebbe a winged lion facing left and one facing right? (So technically, 2 commissions.)

I blame the winged lions on King Moonracer.

*revs up inkwell* :D :D :D

Technically Leopold and all my various Andorians are fan characters. I'm not sure how the copyright works in that case? If you don't want to risk it, I can think of other things. :3

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

Like BERMUDA. OMG I bet you could do me up a nice pic of her. :D

Although the curls might kill you.

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

Pimpernel is technically in the public domain, so.

But, yeah, the Andorians would be off limits. :(

[taichara]

I must think thoughts! For this is very tempting indeed ~

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

:D :D :D

[taichara]

Yaaaay zomg I have finally checked and whatnot :3;; And I would like a watercolour of Desert's Jewelbox, as Ely passed along ~

Refs! :D

her actual main ref

Some other arts: [1] [2] [3] [4]

... and a lot of my LJ icons, which I could snag the larger versions of if you want :3;;

(Just found this.)

Oooh, me, too! I'd also love a painted window mascot.

Ummm... how about Celtic knots, like a whole bunch of 'em forming one BIG knot.

*snicker*

Kidding. I know how you love Celtic knots. ;) I shall have to think on it for a little bit and get back to you, if you don't mind. Too bad The Dresden Files and The Chronicles of Narnia are not mine!

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

At some point, when I was younger, my dad tried to teach me how to do proper Celtic knots. I think I tuned him out intentionally. XD

The downside to copyright, I'm afraid. :(

I shall be here when you decide. :3

*spots you loitering over by the exit and pounces*

Oh, hey! I have an idea. :D My daughter *loves* owls and I'm thinking you're pretty good at them. And if I get one made for her (they love putting things in their windows), I'll need to get one for my son. He loves cars.

Are owls and cars up your alley?? :)

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

*points to icon*

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

*...and points to that one Dresden doodle (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/ffnet_kiff/harry_beetle.jpg)*

Though, what kind of car? I can do pretty much anything, though I have a bit more skill in classics than modern.

[ja-bucc.livejournal.com]

Heh, yes. I mentioned things I knew you could do/had done. Anything owly--like above icon. :D And, as for cars, he likes most any kind, but his favorite are old muscle cars-- not sure if you would want to do something like that.

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

So... like a Challenger, or a Charger? Or an Impala SS? Or more of a ponycar bent, like a Mustang?

[ja-bucc.livejournal.com]

Whichever one is the easiest for you! Seriously. He loves all cars pretty much. :)

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

Mustangs are easiest, probably because it's so easy to find reference for them -- I think San Luis Obispo has one of the highest Mustang densities in the state. You can't walk down the street without tripping over one, really. XD

[ja-bucc.livejournal.com]

He says that a Mustang would be "sweet". :) So that works! And the owl. Woohoo! (Or should that be woohoo hoo hoo?)

Thanks muchly. And of course you've now got my address. :)

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

I am Indecisive Lass. *whine* I don't know what I waaaaaaaant.

Well, I know one thing. I'd like an inked sketch of Voodoo. (True-to-life or cartooneh: your choice!)

But I also want more and I can't decide what. :(

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

Voodoo: Woogah? :o *flattered, shy wheel scuff*

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

Indeed! *hugs her bumper* :D

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

Just let me know what else you want within the month, so they can be sent off together -- mailing two things, separately, is a little costly. :3

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

I know what the second thing is! :O *dingdingding*

It's a KITTEH.

I will PM you details.

[squigglz.livejournal.com]

Over from sf_d, saw your link!

I like the window mascots-I'm a little slow today, they adhere to the inside of the window, like cling stuff, right? idk ;~;

If that's the case, I'd love one ^^

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the late reply -- I was gone for the weekend.

And they do adhere to the inside of the window, but with packing tape, or whatever you think will work best with your own car's window. I used Scotch Tape for mine, and that seemed to work quite well. They're just laminated cardstock, really.

[squigglz.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

Should I pm you a description?

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

Sure! Just be aware that you're 3rd in line, so ETA is about three-four weeks. :3

[squigglz.livejournal.com]

That's fine ^^ pm incoming :)

[lilblueunicorn.livejournal.com]

*pokes LJ* WHY DID YOU NOT SHOW ME KIFF'S UPDATE, LJ?! WRY?! WRY?!

Give me a couple of days and I might be able to contribute something to this fund. :)

Almost called you today to see if you were still alive. ^_^;
