I’m opening up my commissions again starting from the 9th of December! Will keep them open until the very end of January, so please feel free to hit me up. Yes, I do Christmas stuff. You can massage me before the 9th as well, just please keep in mind that I am only going to be able to start working in the 9th!
My email is [email protected], but you can text here and on Instagram (sasshhabella) as well.
Payments are happening via PayPal, and as you can see on the picture my price list is the following:
Headshot: 10 USD
Half body: 15 USD
Full body: 25 USD
+1 character means +50% of the price. I am only doing simple background, since I am not confident doing complex ones, so I never charge more than a few dollars / background. Or most of the time don’t charge at all.
I am drawing:
- original characters
- fanart
- ships (with all genders)
- character sheets
- character outfits
I am not drawing:
- hard nsfw, including adult content and heavy presence of blood, aka gore is off of the table as well
- furry art and whatever animals, since my weaknesses is drawing animals, however animal ears and tails are okay
- vehicles
- weapons, especially guns, I can do sword type of weapons
- complex armors
- really small children (think of age 0-6)
- hate symbols
Keep in mind that I art on my phone so the max quality I can provide is 2000×2000.
How does it look like to commission me?
No matter what, I will ask for your email, so I can provide full quality all the time, even with screenshots. Aside from that, it’s up to you where you want to communicate. You can find me on Instagram as sasshhabella, if you want to see more of my work. I have many of them here too, you don’t need to look way back to find some commissions as well.
You text me, tell me your idea and I will reply if I can do it or nah. If yes, I will do a sketch, show it to you, we agree if we want to work together or not. If yes, then I will do a lineart, and then the coloring with giving you frequent updates of the progress. Once you paid I will send you the full piece via email. You need to pay me first, because scamming is a serious issue, not because I don’t trust you, so please don’t take offense.
I work rather fast, if the communication is going rather quickly, and you don’t want me to do a difficult piece, then I am often done in a few days.
You are highly encouraged to send me references for whatever you ask. Sadly I am not a mind reader and I can work way faster with references than without them.
Also, please feel free to hit me up even if you are not sure you want to commission me, I am easygoing and more than willing to answer your questions. I really don’t bite and I appreciate every amount of work you are giving me.
Can wait to work with you guys!
This is still open for this week! I will see about the rest of the month later, but don’t hesitate to commission me!
The prices are not necessarily set, depends on the difficulty of the commission. These are more like examples for more difficult ones. I am nice I promise.
“Me visto de armaduras para entrar na vida” sobre Exausta Clássica por Heloísa Hariadne.
Convidamos a Heloísa, (@heloisahariadne ) artista contemporânea multidisciplinar de São Paulo, para usar nossa camiseta clássica como uma de suas telas, e transferir sua arte de forma intuitiva através da pintura enquanto eu registrava todo o processo simultaneamente.
“Eu costumo me inspirar bastante em mim mesma, embora minha motivação esteja no todo que construí ao meu redor e nas relações que crio em vida, podendo ou não transparecer nas minhas criações. Mas as relações humanas com a natureza e o natural é algo que me motiva a fazer qualquer coisa, até acordar, ou não acordar.” - Heloisa Hariadne.
Howzitgoin? Good, good. Me? Good, thanks. I gotta tell ya though I’m sorry to bother you again, but y’see somethin’s been troubling me and I can’t stop thinking about it. Kept me up all night. and the dog too cuz he thought I was getting up to take him to Cincinnati. What’s that? Oh. Sorry. Cincinnati is what I call the park. Cuz if I say “park” or “walk” then he gets crazy. So we say Cincinnati around here. Yeah. So. Where was I? Oh yeah. This thing has been bothering me and it’s this thing about commodity form as community form. What’s that? Oh. “Commodity form as community form.” Yeah, it’s a mouthful. And sort of puzzle. What does it mean? I don’t know. Or I think I know. Either way, I keep thinking about it.
I’m helping out Frank to raise money for his comics schoolhouse/residency in Pittsburgh because taking his correspondence pushed me artistically and taught me to approach comics in a different way.
But then–perhaps what is more important for my continued, and hopeful long term, commitment to comics making–is that Frank folded me into the community of alumni who had taken his course. I feel that I can relate to every one of his former and future students because of the shared experience, even though, as he mentions here, many of us have not met in person. He gives all of his alumni access to the Comics Workbook tumblr and from that platform they can share their work, whatever level, together with established artists like Simon Hanselmann and Aidan Koch and others. It’s something special for a beginner comic artist to feel open to share in a forum together with comics luminaries like that. And it can be helpful in building an initial readership.
I haven’t posted to the CW tumblr in a while because I’ve been cooped up working on a year-long project. But that doesn’t matter. The invitation to the community doesn’t go away; I know that once I pack up the last artwork for this current gig, I can start drawing my own stuff again and post it to CW. I’m grateful to Frank’s embracing spirit and what his approach could do to improve the future education of comics art and the establishment of communities of comics creators around the U.S. I’m glad that he is doing it, because honestly, I think I (and other creators) can get a bit too wrapped up in their own creative work to look far outside themselves. I’m hoping to attend Frank’s residency once it’s established and hopefully get some insight into how I can make community building a more active part of my own relationship with comics.
I realize that this long-winded praise piece has just doubled the time you’ve taken to engage with this topic–if you read Frank’s post–but if you did take the time to read this, take the time to shoot Frank an email at [email protected] and check out what he’s auctioning. Whether you just want a piece of original art by a favorite cartoonist, or you believe in what he’s trying to achieve–I think it’s worth your time.
