Happy New Years - Commissions and thank you's

Hey guys! I hope you all have had a safe and happy New Years. My family and I celebrate it like christmas, because my mother and I are from Belarus and Christmas isn't really..that big, I suppose over there and in many parts of the former Soviet Union.

I got mainly money, chocolate and fruit and a huge headache :) But it was fun non the less, we had crab legs and all sorts of seafood dishes.

Anyways, I wanted to say that I've started doing commissions in order to pay for my own premium membership and on occasion, other peoples and maybe fund contests and things of that nature. Due to the nature of my own personal finances, all my spendable money is locked and categorized so theres really nothing in my Paypal account unless I do some odd jobs.

I'm going to only offer photomanipulations, exclusive customized brush packs (hair, eyes, etc whatever you want) and traditional drawings. I know that you are all not familiar with my traditional work and I often joke that i'm incapable of actually drawing with a pencil, its not all that honest. I had received a more classical education and thus, I have quite a grasp on things like dance, piano and of course, drawing. I'll have those examples up in no time, I just have to get my scanner to work :) So as of now, my price list is:

:bulletblue: photomanipulations: 7.95 USD (the price of a premium membership). I don't care if you want a picture of your grandmother dressed as a fairy floating around in space or your dog riding a turtle, i'm available for anything.

:bulletpink: traditional art:
7.95 USD for a sketch
29.95 USD for painting/full drawing. Once again, I don't care if its a picture of your kids or your fish. (price negotiable based on what you'd like though. I wouldn't charge anybody 30 bucks for a picture of their fish.) These can also be mailed to you, free of charge. :)

:bulletblue: exclusive brush pack: 2.00 USD per six items. That can be three hairs, with highlights, lowlights, etc and three pre-made eyes drawn. six different hairs, two hooves, four lighting enhancements...whatever.


so yup, if you'd like to buy please don't note me because for some reason my notes do not work. But you can always reach me at Dariatheamazing@mail.ru or Dariakay@comcast.net (<--the last ones a bit sketchy)

Also, I wanted to thank everybody for being gracious and kind with their comments. They really made my year. Thank you for being so amazing!

Journal Entry: Fri Dec 25, 2009, 3:27 PM


Hey all! I've been writing journals more frequently now but still, as you can see, I've been submitting like..nothing. I'm picking up my new laptop tomorrow I hope so once I get settled in with that and maybe do a little work, i'll have time to FINALLY do some pictures. I tried to start on a couple but nothing was turning out nice. I'm getting annoyed by my manes and I really need a way to do them naturally and pretty, so if anyone has any good tutorials, I would REALLY appreciate it if you linked them below in the comments :) I looked at arrsistable's tutorial and it just frustrated me more because her mane and tails are so perfect and even with the tutorial I can't seem to get them like that.

Also, I upgraded myself and naturally-canadian (my friend Squirt) because I thought this buy one get one free deal was way too good to pass up and I haven't gotten around to making her anything and she's made me SUPER beautiful things and i'm glad she's my friend <3 you all should go comment and fav her stuff because its amazing.
But she's listened to my whining and complaining and rants about my stupid family and I really appreciate it :)

So I really want to know what everyone got for Christmas/whatever holiday you celebrate! I love hearing what people got, its one of my favorite parts about christmas and the holidays in general.

I got two CHI flat irons and of course, the macbook pro that i'm picking up tomorrow as my big presents and then I got a lot of cute little things like crayons, stuffed animals, chocolates, soaps, makeup, money.

Plus my birthday is on the 11th so its super close to christmas :D and i'll be getting more things.

So yeah, tell me what you got because i'm creepy like that. :)

So i've been a little inactive this holiday season, mainly because school has been kicking the crap out of me but also because my imac broke :(

I went to the Apple store last night and I believe next weekend i'm going back to buy a brand new Macbook Pro. I'm going to be going for the 13 inch, I think, since honestly the only reason i'd need a bigger screen is to do my photoshop work on..but even then its not THAT important and not worth the extra 600 dollars or so to upgrade to a 15". And i'm not toting around a 17 inch laptop :\ i'm too lazy for that.

Anyways, so I still need to do art trades and I have some concepts in mind that I want to do :) so look out for new art soon!

Holiday presents:

:bulletred: A
:bulletgreen: B
:bulletred: C
:bulletgreen: D
