I am now taking commissions for a variety of things!  I'm not taking point commissions at this time, as I am a poor college student who needs real money to help pay off my tuition/buy food/etc.  

Digital Art
These can be done in either Oekaki or SAI.  Oekaki is cheaper, but SAI gives you more options.

Oekaki drawing: $5


Oekaki painting: $10 base price, + $5 for a real background


(Oekaki pieces have a max of two characters.  For more examples, look here.)

SAI drawing: $10 base price, $5 for a real background, $3 per character


SAI painting: $15 base price, $5 for a real background, $3 per character


Please be specific with your requests.  Reference images are handy and be sure to let me know if there is a particular style you want me to use (with or without lineart, hard- or soft-cel shading, etc).  I'll draw just about anything from any fandom or any OCs you have.  Just nothing NSFW.

Hats
My hats are made out of fleece and can be customized in just about any way you want.    Let me know whether or not you want to it to have a face.  Base price is $20.


Plushies
I'll make just about anything you want, so long as it's within my ability.  Ponies? Pokémon? Random animals? Some creature you've invented?  I'll make it.  The starting price is $15 and varies based on complexity, size, and cost of materials on a case-by-case basis.


(For more examples of hats and plushies, look here.)

Payment/Shipping
Payment will be done through Paypal.  If, for whatever reason, this doesn't work for you, we can try to work something out, but I make no promises.

For hats and plushies, I'll need payment in advance.  For digital art, I will make a sketch and show you first, to make sure it's going in the direction you want.  Only after any changes have been made and you're content with the sketch will you have to pay.

I will cover half of the cost of shipping, up to $10 (e.g. if shipping is $11, I'll cover $6.50.  If it's $25, I'll cover $10).  I will try to have the cost of shipping determined in advance so it can be part of the initial payment, but if that doesn't work out for whatever reason I will contact you.

In addition, I will ship internationally, but if your country has any weird restrictions, you need to let me know in advance.



I want to keep all this as transparent as possible, so if you have any questions about anything, please let me know!  Send a message on dA or shoot me an email at reetahcheetah@aol.com.

I've totally forgotten to mention this anywhere online, but I'm going to Europe for two weeks in August.  As such, I'll be gone between the 10th and the 26th.  (Or maybe a bit longer, but meh, details.)  It's a belated graduation gift from my aunt and uncle.  They offer to take all of their nieces and nephews to Europe after they graduate high school.  I was... a bit busy last summer, so I'm going this year instead.  We'll be going to Spain, Germany, France, and England.

I'm ridiculously excited!  The farthest I've been outside the US before this is Stratford, Ontario, which isn't very far at all.  I can't wait!  And even though we won't be in London during the Olympics at all (that was intentional planning), I'm really interested to experience them in a place outside America.  I wonder how different the atmosphere is across the pond.

I made another one.

Sort of.  It's all the same stuff as the old one, but now it's actually my default blog instead of a side account.

Please go follow it.  It's sad and lonely.

This probably isn't anything that I would follow through with terribly soon, but if I offered commissions, would anyone be willing to buy them? I don't mean point commissions, unfortunately.  I mean broke-college-student-who-would-like-to-be-able-to-eat-something-other-than-dining-hall-food-and-real-money kind of commissions.

They'd be fairly inexpensive, and they probably wouldn't be limited to just drawings, either.  I'd be willing to make various types of hats.  Plus, I've learned more about sewing since then and have my own pattern, plus I can make plushies (I lack pictures of these since I keep giving them away, but I would definitely have some sort of example before I tried to sell them, no worries).

So... drawing and/or hat and/or plushie commissions: Y/N?

So I have this Pokemon fan-fic I've been working on literally for years.

Mostly that's a combination of writer's block and laziness/procrastination; the story itself isn't really that long, given that I started it the summer before 9th grade.  Case in point: I went at least 18 months without posting an update, even though the chapter had been sitting around half/mostly written for at least a year of that time period.  (Unrelated random fact: I finished an entire story in half that time period the year before I started my current fan-fic.)

For the most recent chapter, I actually managed to pull it together in about 3 months, which is practically record speed.  In my defense, each of these things are ~5000 word monsters that can take a while to write if I'm uninspired.  Hindsight tells me I should have made them shorter, but I'm just gonna stick with precedent for now.

My current dilemma is that the forum I post it on is down.  Again.  And the last time this happened it was down for several months, and I have little hope that this'll be resolved any quicker than last time.  

But I want to post this chapter somewhere.  Unfortunately, I don't have it posted on any other website, so that's not an option, and I have no plans of doing it in the near future.  I want to do some serious revision/editing before it goes anywhere else, yet I also want to finish it (I've got maybe 2 or 3 chapters left) before I try fixing it.  What do?



I'm not completely sure what the point of this entry is, since none of the people who will read it follow my fan-fic, I'm pretty sure, and only a few people have heard of it/know what I'm talking about (those people all know the forums I'm talking about too, I'd guess).  I guess I'm just complaining about pointless things?  Also I haven't updated this thing in ages and I felt like a change was in order.
