EDIT: $5 Sketches and $10 inked works are now available!

Each additional character is another $5 (for sketches) or another $10 (for inked). Same for added backgrounds.

I will send you the file of the drawing. If you want the original, please be prepared to negotiate shipping costs with me. Thank you.

So I need some way of making money, in order to pay for clothes, art stuff, school events, gifts, and so on. Unfortunately, I can't drive so I can't get an actual job. Please feel free to commission me if you don't mind being patient!

** HOPEFULLY, ALL OF MY COMMISSIONERS WILL BE PATIENT AS THEY KNOW THAT I TAKE FOREVER TO DO A DRAWING (5-7 hours each). I have school and other things to do, as well. Please understand as this is essential. Some commissions take me from two days to as long as a month--it depends on how difficult the commission is. Keep that in mind. **

Things I won't (or can't) draw:

• Mecha (or anything close to it)
• Anthro or full-scale realistic animals (animal ears, wings, and tails are okay on a human)
• Ecchi or hentai (nudity)
• Yaoi or yuri (shounen-ai and shoujo-ai are okay)
• Extremely buff people (I can't draw muscles)
• Complicated backgrounds (I prefer very simple to none)
• Extreme gore (blood and minor injuries are okay)

As you can tell, I'm still not experienced enough to draw a lot of things. Please excuse this.
________________________________________________

All commissions will most likely be around 8.5" by 11"! I will let you know if I change the size when the sketch is finished.

I'm still not sure how to send the drawings, so we'll have to talk about that. I'm still in the process of thinking of a way without having to fold the drawings, but not having to spend a lot for shipping each drawing. When I figure this out, remember this: I WILL ONLY SHIP TO PEOPLE IN THE U.S. If someone outside of the U.S. wants to commission me, they must send me an envelope containing an unused (unstamped) envelope for me to send the drawing back in (and cover all shipping costs). U.S. citizens *Erin88 and ~alchemyisascience were kind enough to take care of the shipping of their commissions for me (in fact, they're the ones who came up with the "send-me-an-unused-envelope" idea).

How to Order:

1. Note me here on deviantArt with the title: "Commission Order." Or if you don't have a deviantArt account, email me at "christina.my.ngo@gmail.com" and we can arrange something from there.

2. Please provide references, whether I'm drawing your original characters, favorite TV-show or manga characters, or something else. Detailed descriptions (eye color, skin color, height, weight, body shape, facial structure, details, age) are also acceptable.

3. Specify which media you would like the drawing to be in: sketch, inked lineart, shaded-pencil drawing, colored with Copic markers (and some watercolor if I'm missing some marker colors), colored with watercolors, colored with Prismacolor pencils, or digital.

4. Specify which style you would like me to draw:
- something realistic [no example]
- something cute [link] [link] [link] [link]
- something serious [link] [link] [link] [link]
- or any other style that you like [link] [link] [link]
- Also, feel free to specify which style you'd like by choosing a deviation in my gallery that has it.

** Prepare yourself: I will probably ask you a lot of questions about how you want the drawing to be done. **

Prices:

It really actually depends on the thing(s) you want me to draw. Just tell me exactly what you want (how many characters, what they look like, sketch/inked/shaded/colored, background, and so forth). I'll figure out a price from there.

EXAMPLES:

1. - Original characters Ethel Vanbelle and Oliver Steelhelm = colored for $20

2. - Original characters Josephine "Jo" Morgan and Ethan Astley = colored for $25 (Completed)

3. - Original characters Layne Alexander and Christopher Johansen = colored for $20 (Completed)

4. - Original characters (five of them) with no background = colored for $20

For fully-colored drawings of two characters (and an attempt at a background as well), I'll probably say at least $20. Any more characters of specific details that will require more time spent on the drawing, I'll up the price.

I prefer to be paid via PayPal after I finish the sketch and get it approved by the commissioner. Just let me know if you want to commission me and provide me with your email address so I can request a payment from you. If you can't pay via internet, we can figure something else out.

** Colored self-portraits or one-character-no-background drawings like this drawing and this drawing are $5. **

Art Auction:

Basically, if you want a drawing from my gallery, ask me and I'll see if I can sell it to you. In cases where I can't, it is probably because I no longer have the original drawing, it is meant for someone else, or that I want to keep it.

I'm still organizing this "business," so if I left anything out, please let me know. You can also give me reasonable suggestions as well. Thanks for your time!
