Hello Guild <3

What I want to know is, do you do a lot of art for free, or for Gold? Or even RL monies?

Myself, about 95% of the art i've done, i do it for free, i get so nervous when i do commissions D: When someone gets something for nothing its a lot less stressfull for me because they didnt pay anything for it they dont expect much?

>___>

Also! Do you draw for yourself very much? I tend not to draw for myself too much, be it avatar art or just personal projects. Its a shame really but, its so time consuming D: <3

Also if you do art for free i'd love to see what you do for free? are they sketches? or do you go all out? <333

Bah work now <3

Also first topic in the guild and hopefully first of many :V I'm happy i found this guild its a brilliant idea I think 3nodding

Mainly I give out free art, I only take comissions when I need the money or the Gaia gold.
I love giving free art, drawing ramdom avatars. etc.
I lok at it as practice xD

about 50% of the work i do is for free, i rarely draw myself unless i think its an outfit that's like wow, mostly i draw my friend agent_dax or other regulars to our art thread. but sometimes i draw random people when they inspire me or are really nice or something. i've never done a drawing for RL monies i dont think i'm quite that good yet

Hey : D

I understand your idea on commissions D: I hate that feeling >.< *I get it all the time* : (

I don't draw myself no, XD its funny cause people always say ohhh your an artist you must draw yourself alot and get good pics for free, but really I don't, I don't really have a reason, just dosen't really interest me to draw myself most of the time. XD

I used to do drawings for free but I'm questing for the d-tail right now > 3 so I've only been drawing for commissions at the moment, but when I was handing out freebies last year this is the kind of stuff I handed out.

I do a lot of projects for myself or friends who helped me with things (like moving, or just for fun)

But during events I always have at least one free sketch thread!

I do RL commissions, but not a lot of work for Gaia gold anymore.

I usually have people pay me gold for my art, unless I know them personally or love their avi.

Best freebies from others :]
I love Soli <3

    About 75% (if not more) of the art I make are freebies. Usually when I really want the gold or an item will I open up slots for commissions. Though sometimes I've made simple cute things that I've charged about 5k-10k for which is an amount that most people are willing to let go of.

    You know my freebies vary, a LOT. You've been the recipient of several, I believe so at least.

    Though if you want to look through a mass of freebies I've given. Check HERE

    Some that I'm still proud of:

    Don't want to overload the page with a bunch of large images. Thumbnails will have to due.

    We did an art trade? I don't recall actually do that before... UNLESS, it was in the freebie art guild, then perhaps. Oh my, I haven't been there for over a year and a half. And I do remember drawing that. That piece was experimental and one of a kind. Though it looks a bit wonky, I still like it. Wow... 2006, it's been awhile. And I still have the piece you did for me. Thanks. And believe it or not, that grombie skin is STILL hiding under what I have now. With all the new skins since the Halloween Vampire, things have worked in my favor. I just love hair and head items though.

    But yeah, Freebies are what I use to experiment with or try to perfect a style that I really like. During the holiday events in Quatro's freebie event threads is when I really go to town. Though once in awhile when I just have a random urge to draw something it's either my avatar or a regular's at her art thread that gets doodled.

    About half of the art I have of my avatar is drawn by me. Dunno if that's sad or not.

    Oh, Vi, the freebie thread we're talking about would easily pass a couple thousand pages during the event. And Quatro, bless her heart, would go through each page she missed while gone to find all the freebie art and post it on the front page. It's nice finding certain threads with regulars like that. We're all one big happy family now. I wonder if there's going to be an event during the summer. That'd be nice. Means more freebies.

I always draw freebies. xD
I rarely ever take commissions of any kind. Lately, I've gotten into auctions and whatnot.

So, couple of arts eh? :'D


[ uno ][ dos ][ tres ]

And yes. I draw myself often, mainly because it's really the only one I can think up of all the details without too much effort. rofl
