There is Flash embedding, though.

I know. He's working on a revised version apparently.

Alright, well, this is awkward. Basically, me and some dudes got stupid after 2am and wrote a thing.

What I'm thinking about is getting some illustrations to go with it. I'm still not sure which scenes specifically. Style wise I'd like them to be like the illustrations in a children's book. Not necessarily in color. If you read the story, you'll know that quality is not an issue. I'll take basically anything. Scratchy sketches done in five minutes are perfectly fine.

At this point I'm looking at about 4 to 5 illustrations for key scenes. I'm not sure what constitutes a key scene just yet, but I wanted to check and see if anyone was interested first and see what pricing is like. They don't all need to be from the same artist either, so if any of y'all are interested, feel free to let me know.

The Illustrations I'd like to get:

Title Page. Done now
Spike at the one man Gunshow. Replaced with LemonAIDS.png
Spike Falls Down The Stairs.
A Wild :Godna: Appears.
"You Got It Boss"

But if anyone wants to draw a different scene, I can swap them out. The whole point of the story is there were no real rules. The art should be the same way.

The bird looks back over it’s manly shoulder, simply bristling with well sculpted muscles all glistening with oil and sweat, as it exits out the window and shouts, “I’m LemonAIDS Bitch!

Sketched this out quickly. Head is especially sketchy, but I don't know what kind of bird he is so I suppose I'll have to change that anyways.
The text is all scratchy because he's just that hardcore. :cool:

Thoughts?

This is great. I don't even really know what kind of bird he's supposed to be. I was picturing a sort of road runner thing, but this works too! The text is perfect, by the way.

I'll just apply that bird's color scheme to this, then.
Next I'll make some more solid lines, then add a more feathered texture, then colors. I think. I think that's the order I'll do that in.
It might be a bit, because I'm in over my head somewhat with NaNoWriMo, but it shouldn't be too long. At least I have nothing else besides that and this to do.

Oh that's no problem, though I should probably ask about pricing before you get too far into it. I don't really have that much disposable income, but I'll see what I can do.

Oh cool, this is stickied. When did that happen?

Wonder if C_R got all his pictures done.

unfortunately, not yet. haven't had time or money to shop around for any more. But the one's from Hollow and Laziest Brony are great.

(?) · by **Momar** (?) » Fri Nov 18, 2011 7:12 am

Hollow, I have a commission for you. Three avatars, full colour, one pony per image. They can be large images (I'd prefer it!) but the line weight should be appropriate for sizing down to 125x125. Show-style, transparent backgrounds. How much would you charge for something like that?

(?) · by **Aurora** (?) » Fri Nov 18, 2011 7:18 am

Is my investment finally coming to fruition? :awesomedash:

(?) · by **Momar** (?) » Sat Nov 19, 2011 12:39 am

Yep. 5 Chunkydollars plus however many less interesting regular dollars.

(?) · by **Hollow** (?) » Wed Nov 23, 2011 8:32 am

Hey Momar!

I sent you a PM yesterday, but I don't think you saw it. Please check your inbox as soon as you can. Thank you!

(?) · by **Mr. Big** (?) » Thu Jan 19, 2012 10:06 pm

Okay, I'll just get this out of the way. I'm in a serious need of cash right now so I'm going to draw pretty much anything (within reason, pony or non-pony) for half the price I'm asking for. So...

Sketches ($2.50)
Ink ($5)
Ink & Colour ($10)
Physical drawings mailed (postage extra)

I'm only doing this until the end of the month, so hurry.

(?) · by **Concerned Reader** (?) » Fri Jan 20, 2012 4:13 am

Hmmm, well, if I had more money, I'd want to commission the rest of the illustrations to Spikes Day Off.txt. I might hit you up, depending on how my paycheck is looking this month.

Sounds neat. Hopefully we can work it out

To give you guys an idea of what my original drawings look like, here are some strips I'm auctioning off.

Recently finished this commission for Westy.

Just posting it to prove I will draw weird shit. :gotcha:

APB Mafia: leads to shit like this.

My flavor role was Gordon Freeman, so I went through the chronosphere/portal thing to see if I could get a nightkill or something by enlisting Celestia's help. Instead I brought her into the game. :pinkieshrug:

And then the game devolved into a massive KILL PERCENTAGE BATTLE PHASE CLUSTERFUCK.

Oh dear, I need to tell you about that game on IRC sometime, Momar. It was quite a thing.

And thanks again Hollow. I was afraid I had a commission so strange that no one would take it; I was wrong!

(?) · by **Tallgeese** (?) » Wed Feb 08, 2012 10:10 pm

Hollow says thank you very much, Westy.

Also, she also wishes to extend thanks to Momar for their commissions as well, since she doesn't remember doing so after all this time.

Hollow sure does draw purdy. :allears:

I strongly recommend artists put their ads up on Bronibooru. It gets waaaaaaaaaay more foot traffic than this thread.

So I was thinking of getting one of those Team Tag things, but I am not good at art. If anyone would be interested in making one for me, how much would you charge?

(?) · by **numsOic** (?) » Thu Mar 08, 2012 8:17 pm

For the record, all the team tags made up to now are all screenshots with text on them. If you want to start a trend of commissioning special art for team tags, nobody's stopping you, though! :yay:

Depends on how many ponies will be in it, and how detailed it is. But if it's two ponies and a BG it'd probably be $20, since it's just a banner.

I'm making one for Tallgeese currently. I'll edit it in here whenever I finish it.

This isn't Pony, but commission is a commission.

It's a Dr. Seuss drawing that someone commissioned me to do. Ink on cardstock.

(?) · by **Crow** (?) » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:28 am

Question, when a commission is done, does the person that paid for said work receive the original physical drawing? Or do they only receive a digital copy?

I suppose it doesn't really matter, considering it could just be printed out with and on quality materials and none would be the wiser.

(?) · by **MochaBean** (?) » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:36 am

Depends on the terms of the commission. If the person you're commissioning uses real media, then usually you get the finished product, but just as many artists nowadays are purely digital, and often they'll simply give you a high-res image unless stated otherwise.

It all comes down to the terms you agree on beforehand, just make sure you get the form of the final deliverable stated at the outset.

I poked around in the plushy thread and in this thread, and I could have sworn we had an in-house Ponygoon that accepted plushy commissions. I'd really prefer to hire a Ponygoon to craft this for me.

I'm looking to get a relatively small (10" or shorter) Twilight Sparkle plushy made and mailed to me in Los Angeles, CA, if you or someone you know does them for a reasonable price, please let me know either here or PM me. This plushy is going to be a birthday gift for a friend.

Brainbread is a big plushie commissioner. I should harangue her to make a banner for this megathread.

(?) · by **Momar** (?) » Fri Jul 06, 2012 1:45 pm

Added Brainbread to the list.

(?) · by **Mr. Big** (?) » Fri Aug 03, 2012 5:27 am

I decided to sell one of my published (non-Pony related) cartoons on eBay. Check it out here.

If a Ponygoon member wins the auction, I'll draw you a commission for no extra charge. It can be Pony or non-Pony related.

I've only posted a few times here. In short, I am trying to raise money to purchase a button maker for some designs I've made, and decided to offer commissions here. I take paypal only.

These are the designs I'd like to eventually make:

As for commissions, they will be $10 per character. Examples:

I can do fan ponies too:

If you'd like a lineless style, like in the buttons, they are also $10. The characters can have accessories but they must be simple and few, that is, no gala dresses or anything. Contact can be through pm (prefered) or email, klashmitATgmail.com.

I'm relatively new to this forum, but I'm not new to pony commissions, so I wanted to throw my hat in the pony art ring. All information about my commissions can be found here: http://xkappax.deviantart.com/ along with samples of my work. I work relatively quickly and I do G and PG rated pony art only.

Here is a sample of the sort of work I do. Other work can be found at my deviantart. Please feel free to PM or contact me via note over deviantart if interested.
