Yes, I have to admit defeat and say I have RSI...every artist's nightmare, and for a long time, to me, it was just a nightmare and not something that would actually happen to me! I suppose it's Karma...I won some money in the lottery and now I'm paying for it! Hardly an equal exhange though...!

So I've had to call a halt on my work...do you know painful that is!?! I have nothing to do!! NOTHING!!! Except play my DS...I did finally complete the 1st Phoenix Wright game last night...after being on it for a year or so!! You'll be able to get your games back soon Ching!!

So sorry commissioners, was hoping to get your work done soon but I can't do anything at the moment! This really sucks...hard...man...


-------------------------------------

Commission slots are now full!

And I will have to put a deadline for ordering books before Christmas...the latest you'll be able to order one is the 7th of December. Because I'd rather not have to tackle with christmas punters in town, and at the post office! I will of course take orders for sending after Christmas, possibly after the New year. So if you'd like a book before Christmas please do so soooooon.....


Commission details (I know I'm not taking anymore but I can't be bothered to write this at a later date, so it's staying!:

I'll be doing both traditional and digital, standard sizes for traditional will be A4 and digital will be B5, unless special size requirements are stated.
I'll only be taking 3 commissions at a time, because 5 was quite a handful I must say! There will be 3 slots and once the 3 are filled I will stop taking in anymore. If you miss out then you'll have to wait for the next opening (although what are the chances I'll get the slots filled?).
Please provide ref pics if you have any, I'm not gonna go trawling the net for them!
I'll be noting peeps about the finer details individually.
When I have completed the pic, I need payment before sending the final piece. It's like me taking hostage of you work!

Here are the prices (in UK pound sterling):

Traditional:
Pencil - 8-12
Pen - 10-15
Copic - 15-20

*Traditional prices include P& P for first class. There will be an extra charge for ones to be posted abroad or for recorded delivery within the UK.

Digital:
b/w or tone - 6-10
Colour - 8-15

Here is a list of things I can do, and things I can't or won't touch with a million mile barge pole:

Will draw:
Portraits/bust
Full body
Fanart
Semi nude
Couples
Yaoi/Yuri (whatever floats your boat)
Animals (I'll regret this)

Won't or can't draw:

Hentai/explicit sex
Explicit gore
Mecha/robots (unless provided with extensive ref pics!)
Complete nude (I'll blush! Unless you really want complete nude, we'll have to have a private discussion...)

That's it for now! Note me if you're interested and we'll take it from there. Please help a desperate artist, in need of money to provide for her family this christmas... (I don't care if I sound desperate anymore!)

Slots are filled! Will open them soon...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's the end of my life as I know it! I'm not a lowlife student anymore, but a lowlife bum with no job!!

But I had a good graduation! The ceremony wasn't too long and my class was first up which I thanked high heaven for! I wouldn't end up a quivering wreck waiting! We did the famous hats in the air, where a friend's brother took a really good photo of it!

Then later in the day I went out to celebrate with my friends at a club. I managed to get tipsy on 2 cocktail drinks! I only went up to 5 and was gone! But I do remember the night, I'm one of those remember-everything drunks...unlike a certain someone I know...

Well onto the next chapter of my life! Gosh that sound so...epic for my life!! I'm glad I met everyone at uni and hope you have wonderful lives and to see you soon again when we're all rich and famous!!

*cry*

Okay, onto important stuff. I have lots of copies of the Secret Colours artbook so I'm now opening it out onto the net! Horraaaaah! Here are the details:

If you'd like a copy, email me at this address: karen_lusted@hotmail.co.uk

With your details: Name, shipping address and form of payment.

I except: Paypal (preferred), nochex (I think) and cheque.

I will email back with a ref number that you should include when you pay. I'll email when the order has been sent.

The books costs 13 pounds (sorry for the lack of pound sign, it doesn't come up using this keyboard!)

Postage will be worked out individually. So state what type you'd like (e.g. 1st/2nd class, recorded.

Do also state how many copies you want, I will assume if you don't you would want 1.
