I wanted to make a public announcement here telling anyone who might be interested that I have recently created a second DA account for my Illustration work. I don't have everything up there quite yet, but I did post a bunch of stuff from my Junior year up today that I only recently got a chance to scan. A lot of it has never been posted anywhere else on the internet!

*facepalms* Of course you need the link! Thanks for reminding me! 0_o

Art Contest!

Draw Nevar as a Bat. Feel free to be creative with markings and interpretation. Can be any type of Bat, can be some sort of hybrid between a bat and my current avatar, watever you want to do.

Winner will recieve a picture done by me of equivalent 'value'. (I say that loosely, I don't want to think of these as commissions or whatever... what I mean is that if I recieve a bunch of sketches, that's cool, the winner is going to get a decent sketch. whereas, if the winner obviously spent a lot of time and effort on their picture for me, I'll likewise return the effort...) If there's several that I really like, there might be some runner-up prizes and such.

Ummm... yeah.

Contest will end once I have several entries, and I'll give a little warning beforehand.

Heh, looks like I update my DA journal more often than I upload new pictures here. So, just in case you guys want to know where I -DO- upload pictures, check me out at Artvark, VCL, and YNA.

want cheap, but still very quality art from me? How about a work doodle commission? For only $10 you can tell me what to draw in my sketchbook while I'm bored at work that day.

Want a page filled with lots of different expressions of your character? cool! How about a picture of you and your best friend? Rock on. If you want, and I have time, I might even ink it. You can expect at least 2 and up to 4 hours of work put into your picture, all for only $10, and that is one HECK of a deal. ^^

Turnaround for these is really fast, usually only a day or two since I work 5-6 nights a week. Paypal is preferred so I can get started the next time I'm at work, but I'll also accept most forms of snail mail payment as well. You will not get the original, as it will be in my sketchbook, but for an additional $5, I will gladly make and send you a print of it on cardstock.

Interested? e-mail me at nevar@nevarraven.com with a character description and a brief description of what you'd like to see. Paypal is to the same address.

Been a while since I updated the DA journal entry. I'm very much alive again, moreso even than before that particular bad day. ^^

I have some wonderful friends and some of the best memories ever from this summer. I love you guys, you know who you are.
