Well, it appears that another quirk of fate has changed the course of my daily existence once again--& it's not the good kind of quirk, either! Sometime last week, after I came home from staying at Gran's house, my laptop Lucky's right hinge broke off; you can still see what's on the monitor, but I need to be extremely careful while handling Lucky--as if I wasn't being extremely careful with him enough! (Which is why my folks & I were surprised that it happened in the first place, although we could attribute it to age & my constant use of Lucky over the years... )

So, the other day, we took Lucky to the computer shop in town, in the hopes that we might be able to fix the monitor lid; unfortunately, we found out that we wouldn't be able to replace the part...which means that I will soon have to transfer all my files, documents, images, character profiles, website stuff, music, & everything else on my hard drive to a new laptop.

I'm currently taking note of all my laptop programs & my preferences for said programs while I'm looking for a replacement for Lucky (I think I may have found a good specimen! ), but there's a bit of a catch: while the overwhelming majority of the stuff on my hard drive can be easily transferred to the one on the new laptop, I won't be able to do the same thing with my software programs...which means that stuff like RealPlayer, Microsoft Word & Frontpage, & my screenwriting software will have to be downloaded / bought & reinstalled on the new hard drive.

Thankfully, I didn't have a whole lot of software on my laptop, & most of it was free stuff, but the software I will need to buy may end up costing a total of around $600, assuming I don't find cheaper copies on them on Ebay.  Add to that the cost of my new laptop, & I may have to end up paying a total of $1,000 for everything--including the additional fee I'll need to pay for the relocation of all my files! Now, I don't want to drain my parents of their financial resources, & I want to be able to save the remainder of my graduation money for next year's trip to Comic-Con, so...in order to raise money for my new laptop & software, as well as the transfer of all my stuff to Lucky 2, I have decided to start taking commissions for the first time!

Commissions!

Sketches:
$5 for a sketch of one person or character...
...but a charge of $5 will be added for each additional person or character you want drawn
$10 will also be included if you want a background with the picture

Inked Sketches:
$5 for each person / character, & an additional $10 for the background, if you want any
There is also an extra fee of $5 if you want the sketch to be inked

Inked & Colored Pictures:
$5 for each person / character, & $10 for the background (if you want any)
(Traditional) $5 for use of Prismacolor pencils | (Digital) $5 for flat-color, $10 for cel-shading, & just $5 for any amount of special effects you desire

If you're interested, just note me, & we can start discussing about your commission. All I need is the details of what you want, what or who you want drawn, & your E-mail. If you have any questions, please let me know. I can take a money order, but I'm trying to see how to take money through Paypal, so I'll advise you about that as soon as it's set up.

EDIT: I've noticed that a lot of you don't have the money to pay for commissions, but if you can't take any, I understand.  However, if it's not too much to ask, could you possibly tell other people about the commissions, in case they're interested? I really would appreciate your help.

ADDITIONAL EDIT: Good news, everyone--I've received over $80 in birthday money, & I've put it into my laptop & software funds! Of course, commissions are still open for business, & I still would appreciate any help I could get.
