After the Holidays Commission Sale!

I’m NOW taking limited special $60 dollar commissions till February 7th, 2013.[Don't forget Valentines Day is the 14th of February! Gift ideas!]

What do you get for $60 dollars? One digital fully colored bust* and a splash color background. [*NOTE: A bust in this instance is a head to slightly below the shoulders. NO FULL BODY images.]

Here are some examples of what I did for my last 60 dollar special:

*NOTE: The people who commissioned me for these images were big DC fans, you are not limited to only DC characters. ^^;

What you can request:

Pick 1 of the following-

    • Your favorite character from whatever series [reference is nice!]
    • Your character [I NEED your reference.]
    • A portrait of you, your friend, family, etc. [photos please] No animals please!
Tell me basics you want to see in the character and any other basic information.

PAYMENT UPFRONT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE- As soon as I get the money you will be slotted in a list and receive your image 5-7 days after or the day of payment [if not sooner!.] First come, first served. I usually begin ASAP when I receive payment, pending on if I’m working on another image or not.

What you will receive 2 jpegs of your image- one at 100% [full quality] and the other at about %25 the size of the original. Original images are done at 300 dpi [aka standard high resolution] and measure out to be 8.5″ x 11″. You have permission to make prints for yourself. [See legal information at the bottom of the post for more details]

I only take PAYPAL. 

Sound good?

Email me  at ChandraFree@gmail.com with your description of what you want and we will go from there.

 [NOTE: If I do not respond to you within 2 days, please contact me here or at witchycrankypoo@gmail.com to let me know. I've had issues with my email as of late.]

Thanks for the interest!

-Chandra

*note- If you wish to commission me for a bigger project in mind or something that doesn’t fit this format, you may still do so.  Regular prices apply and my usual commission rules.
Legal Information:
    • The copyright of the commissioned work is retained by the artist. I can reuse the image for my portfolios, sell them, and post online.
    • These images are for your own personal use (non-commercial unless otherwise agreed upon), and not to be copied, reproduced or redistributed. This means you can use them as your avatars, print your own personal prints [but you cannot sell them], etc.
    • No cancellations accepted once work on the picture has begun.

 

An All Call for FAQ [Frequently Asked Questions]…Questions!

Hey gang!

I need your help! I need your questions!

I’m trying to do another FAQ, and actually finish and publish it online. I will be picking the top 4 questions from you guys about THE GOD MACHINE, and the top 3 questions about me in regardes to my artwork/career/etc.

Why am I doing this? Because, in multiple places everybody asks when volume 2 of THE GOD MACHINE is coming out, and I keep answering it in multiple places. [btw, please do NOT ask that question, It's going on the list as the #1 asked question.] I need a central place for people to find this info [makes sense, convince for all involved!]. The thing is, I want to know what you guys want to know the most, other than me taking a stab at what I THINK you guys want to know…you know?

Submit your questions here under this thread!

Thank you all,

Chandra

p.s. thank you to everyone who came out to NYCC and saw me at the Archaia booth. <3

p.s.s. I just found some old questions too, and will be using those as well.

It’s that time again! The time of the Dragon*con!

As you all probably know, I’m a guest this year, again. :)

I will be in the Artist/Comics & Pop Art alley at Table #27 [located in the Grand Hall East of the Hyatt Regency] also, my partner in crime, Andrew “Drew” E.C. Gaska, will be at table #28 [right next to me, aww!]

Premiering at the show is the new GOD MACHINE ash-can! New God Machine material for your eager hands. ;)

I will have volume 1 of THE GOD MACHINE, prints [new, refreshed ones, and classics], the elusive “Preview” issue of THE GOD MACHINE returns [which was found hiding in a warehouse recently], and surprise goodies which even I don’t know exactly what they are yet. ;)

This year I have a list for commissions. There is ONLY a limited number of spaces. So first come, first served!

*Note to those who ordered commissions from me, that your commissions will be ready on Saturday and any other time during the con. AND to all who put in your print requests, come and pick up your prints at any time. :)

SECRET! If you want one of my infamous CRAZY CRAYON COMMISSIONS, ask for it by name! They cost $5.00 dollars, but I won’t be advertising it on my table, so..!

Also, don’t forget, I’m on 2 panels this year too!
