The Unemployed [an art/craft shop]
Replies
The Reason Behind the Name
As of October 4th, 2014, I am no longer employed in any way, shape, or form. The job I had previously, and held for four years, was as a photo tech at a local newspaper, and I loved it. But my parents and I will be moving soon (35 miles away - too far to drive to this job) and I have to live with them because I don't have enough money to move out on my own (plus, they're older and I want to be there for them anyways). Although this job was only one day a week, it was enough to get me by, and now I don't have it anymore. I feel...kind of lost, honestly. And afraid that I won't find another job soon. My parents are amazing and have agreed to pay my bills for me and don't expect me to pay them back, but I can't stand that. I want to pay my own bills and buy my cats' supplies, etc. You know, like a normal adult. But to cut this short...I decided I'd open this shop and see if I could make a little money here to tide me over until I find a job of some sort.
What do I sell here? The short answer? Basically anything art/craft-wise you want. Seriously. The long answer? Read on... -digital art (humans, animals, cyborgs, items, flowers, etc.) -traditional art (colored pencil or marker) -graphics (with or without original art included) -cartoon/anime styles -more realistic styles -chibis -jewelry (beaded, steampunk, crochet..USD ONLY) -sculpey (jewelry, sculptures, beads, etc..USD ONLY) -other crafts (fleece blankets, crocheted items, Christmas ornaments, redwork, etc.)
Basically, if you have an idea of something you want in mind, art or craft, let me know! Post an example! I can probably do it. I have been doing different kinds of art for years and am proficient in many areas. I'm ahem not young, lol. I'm 30.
Want an example? Listed below are some examples of work I've done. If you want an example of a particular style, I can see if I have something on file, or I may be willing to make something up for you to see.

Some Pixel Art Examples:
I can also do simple color changes and item additions for overlays. Pets and minions are both doable. I can't do anything super-complicated, but I'll try anything.

PLEASE NOTE: All digital/traditional drawings will be done with BLACK outlines, unless you ask for otherwise. It's much simpler for me to do one color outlines and black is my default. I can also do colored lines (where the lines are a shade or two darker than the colors of the image parts) or any other single color for lines.
Pricing
It's basically Pay-As-You-Like, meaning you pay what you think the piece is worth or according to your budget.
That said, I would hopefully expect more for a super complicated piece (like the aquarium art, ikumoradeekanox tree, or more realistic pieces).
In the past, when I had priced shops, I usually got the following prices (which you do not have to follow, it's just to give you an idea): chibi/headshot/waist-up...2-5m fullbody...5-10m group/couple...a couple mil more for each person something more realistic/complicated...the aquarium would be a 20m piece, as would the tree and cat
At the moment though, I REALLY NEED USD, so if it's possible, please make your offers in USD. I have Paypal, of course.
Jewelry and Sculpey pieces are USD only. All other types of art are USD/CSC/sP.
Any questions? Feel free to post here and don't forget to ping me!
PLEASE make ALL REQUESTS in this thread! Please don't comment/smail me. It's just much easier for me to keep track of things that way.
Waiting List
- Shakespeare (quad, dog, 9m) status: sketching
- Cameui (quad, 2.5-5m) status: next up

Can you work from a photo ref. for a quad piece? Would around 9m be okay?

I'd like for her to keep the bow on her head, but you can make that any color. :)
I would love to see if you can do an art piece of my pet Kaesen in a different pose. I am willing to pay 2.5-5M. Can't afford to really go above that. Would love something full body. Not sure what pose but am willing to take ideas. =)
Wow you are a jack of all trades I see! Your necklaces are so cool.
I love your realistic cat! How much USD for something like this? I have a Yorkie and Chihuahua (not together) I'm looking for art of.
I can do that, sure! She's so cute. ^_^ And 9m is fine.
I can't see the link? I'm sure it's something I can do though. I'll just search by pet name later. :)
I honestly have no clue what to charge. I was thinking maybe $5 for a piece like that? Just going by what others charge on here.
Thanks! And yeah, I kind of am. ^_^ If it's artsy or crafty, chances are I've done it at some point.
Oops that was my mistake. Let me try again. Kaesen, has a nice reference picture on the profile.
how much per crocheted necklace? If you have some available with really flamboyant or dark colors I'd be interested ^^ (I'm exceedingly pale so light colours don't contrast well with my skin)
We shall rise as we fall
Well, I normally sell them for $8 at craft shows and shipping's normally around $2, so $10 USD each. If you get more than one though, I'd only charge $10 for the first one and $8 for each additional as the $2 should cover shipping for anywhere from 1-5 or so of them. At the moment though, I'm in the middle of a move to another town. Movers come tomorrow actually, and then out internet gets hooked up Saturday (hopefully) so the earliest I can see what colors I have is maybe Monday? Tuesday? I'll let you know as soon as I get settled in the new place!
Sure, I'd love to draw them too. However, like I said earlier, I'm about to move (tomorrow actually) so it might be a little bit until I'm settled enough to draw (read: I have no idea in which box my drawing things are lol). I will let you know!
