Introduction


Hello, welcome! Okay I know your wondering why in the world would I NOT open up a shop? Well to be honest, the fact that I am doing the picture as a freebie is good enough for me. You see, in the land of work all day, one does not feel motivated to get their artistic hobbies out. I work on graphic design, and other web content which doesn't include be drawing very much. So, I set aside a little bit of time to work on avatar art and/or other art scribbles.


Tools that I Use


I sketch using .5 mechanical pencil with HB lead. I've tried sketching on the computer, but I don't like to feel stressed when it is not necessary. Its not to say that I won't sketch on the PC (I have and it looks great, but it takes too long, even for me).

I use Micron pens 01 and 03. I love to detail small things with the pens before I scan. I've colored in pictures from straight sketch, but I happen to like the thrill of pens either making or destroying my work. Call me crazy lol.

I color using a Intuos 3 tablet. (wish I had my own screen tablet like my hubby but ehh its coming ^_^). I color in PhotoShop CS3 currently until I can get my hands on CS5, for art and development purposes... arg!


Some Examples of My Work


I kind of figured that you would like to see them. The first picture is by me. You can view a few freebie commissions from the ones that I did on Gaia Online along with links to the videos of me coloring them:

Now Onto the Serious Stuffs - My Terms for Doing Freebies

- I like donations, but if you do, I will still do it, whether you give me nothing or something, but you will still have to wait in line. I have to be fair. First come first serve!

- Please do NOT rush me. I work fulltime, this is just a hobby of mine and sometimes I do not have it in me to work like a machine.

- Please do NOT tell me how the pose should be. Just tell me some simple things, like eyes open or eyes closed, add a person etc.

- Sometimes I like to change styles between regular and chibi anime/cartoon style, and sometimes I like to color simple or detailed. It really depends on how I feel.

- Sometimes I do full body or waist up, which, also depends on how I feel.

- I do couples. ^_^

- I record myself coloring and upload it on youtube. In the future the art will be showcased on my website as well to go into my portfolio.

- It takes me on average 3 hours to color in a picture. I am working to speed up the process, but until then, it takes a lot to color.

- Due to previous people using bribes to try to speed up the waiting time and causing me to stress out, I will no longer accept them unless it is for donating after your picture is completed or just donating in general. Someone told me on Gaia that they were going to pay 150k, I spent the weekend working on it and haven't received the 150k, so noo, I'm not doing that anymore. I refuse to do pictures for people who cannot understand the process of getting a picture done for FREE! You just have to wait like everyone else on the list.


So..
If you understand my terms, and like my works send me a message requesting free avi art.

[Poggio]

Wow I am a little surprised that no other people have posted in this thread. If possible could I get a freebie? Also ask you do you scan your pencil arts? If so how do you keep them from being overly grey and scuzzy?
