Pretty in Little Pink

My current obsession. The gorgeous and very sweet Japanese gravure idol, Mai Nishida.

Random Favourites

What can I say: It's what I personally think is the best art I've found on this site, but only drawings and paintings. If you want to see my favourite photos then you'll have to go to my other account: mrmonkey1980

deviantID

I am a writer who has a dream of creating a comic strip series featuring some characters from his novels, but since I don't know anyone who can draw, and I don't have any money to pay someone who can, I am forced to try and learn myself. As you can see it is a slow process.

I have a photography account under the name mrmonkey1980 and that showcases a bit more talent. This is more mucking around. But if you enjoy it, then thank you.

Requests! Commissions?!

I knew my Black Cat picture was the best I had done as soon as I finished it, but I was surprised this morning to find a comment from a fellow deviant asking if I took requests. The thought had never occurred to me before. I had never considered myself good enough to have people want me to draw things for them. Of course, I said yes, because when I thought about it, some of my pieces have been on par with the work of a few people I watch and I could do with the practise when I can't think of ideas. It's odd to me because I just came here to learn to draw better to do a comic strip for my website and now I end up thinking, "Hey, maybe I could focus on this drawing thing a bit more."

So this is an announcement to say if anyone wants to make a request then just note me. I'll probably say yes. You can look at my gallery and my faves for the kind of thing I like and have done before, but I'll give anything a go providing I can find a decent reference for the harder stuff.

I'll even go so far as to say I'll do commissions if people want me to.

The differences being:

- A commission will cost you a very small charge (4 GBP/6 USD).

- You get complete control over what you want in a commission (though I want to hear anything you have for a request).

- when it's finished I'll give you a preview before you pay, then when payment is complete I'll email you the full resolution file and post you a print if that is what you want.

- I prefer paypal, but other arrangements can be made




I'm not expecting much of a response but I just thought I would put it out there

Thanks for the add :) Well I am trying hard to get it published. I will be doing a re-edit soon before I send it out again, so you may be able to catch chapters of it online. They won't stay there forever though :)
