Alright, here's the deal. I like fan art, but I don't have time for
any. So I've made room in my penciling practice schedule to do half an
hour fan art pieces. That means, I've got exactly 30 minutes to
conceptualize and finish whatever I figure out I want to do. No more, no
less. It's a training method to force me to think and pencil faster. I
was going to wait until I did a few more on my own before I sent out
this advertisement, but I'm going to get indecisive real quick here, so
I'm going to jump straight in. Take a look at the top two pieces.

(see links at bottom for what my finished work looks like)
Those are the 30 minutes sketches. They're not perfect by any means,
and there are errors, but with daily practice, my material is going to
come out even better. This is the work I'm offering free. No inks, no
colors, nothing super fancy. So this is less of a commission and more of
a audience participation round. Right now, I'm only doing a character in
a pose. Later on, I'm going to open it up for people with webcomics and
I'll step in and do a guest strip, I may even offer to do the first page
of an original piece if someone's got a DAMN GOOD STORY. But that's
later, so don't worry about that for now. And don't ask me about it.
Here are the rules :
=============================
=============================
RRRR U U L EEEEE SSSS
R R U U L E S
RRRR U U L EEE SSS
R R U U L E S
R R UUU LLLLL EEEEE SSSS
=============================
=============================
1 - I'm doing this for myself, not for you. Yeah, you're going to get
something out of it, this is a gift horse scenario. So no whinos, no
jerks, and no @$$holes e-mailing me day in and day out if I did your
piece when you didn't follow the RULES and ticked me off.
2 - DO NOT E-MAIL ME ABOUT THIS OFFER AT ALL.
3 - DO NOT E-MAIL ME.
4 - DO NOT E-MAIL ME.
4 - NO, REALLY, DO NOT E-MAIL ME, DO YOU UNDERSTAND? NEWSGROUP REPLIES
ONLY. (I'm sorry for being so abrasive but the last time I did this I
ran into a nice sizeable group of true jerks that I had to squash, I
don't have time to deal with people that think that I'm here to be used
like a piece of toilet paper. I'm doing this on my free time, RESPECT
THAT FACT OR DON'T BOTHER ME.)
5 - For now, I'm going to limit this offer to three people, one piece
each. After I select the three people and three pieces, THAT'S IT. NO
MORE. NO REQUESTS. NONE. PERIOD. FINITO. When I wish to offer more, I
will post the offer and you will again, follow these rules.
6 - I'm not doing paid commission work here, I'm not interested in your
money because that means obligation, and I have no time for any
obligations right now. So put your money away, I'm not interested and
it's not going to affect me at all.
7 - It'll be done within a week, but even if I select your piece, DO NOT
E-MAIL ME. I'll post here when it's done.
8 - No Dragonball Z or Sailor Moon requests. Sorry, not interested.
9 - No hentai (porn) poses.
10 - No hentai (porn) characters, PERIOD.
11 - If you intent to use my picture to whack off to, please do not make
a request. You have a right to be a pervert, and I have a right to not
involve my artwork in your fantasies. I'll respect your rights if you
respect mine.
12 - Anyone trying to post under extra names, etc. etc. etc. to tilt
things in their favor will be disqualified. Play fair or #$@#$ off.
13 - NO PUBLISHING MY WORK UNLESS YOU PAY ME. (this mainly applies to
people asking me to draw their original characters, if you like the end
product that much we'll work out something later. But of course, if I
find my work floating around in some piece of Doujinshi that's up for
sale, someone is going to be floating face down in the Tijuana river.)
(Reminder to people requesting fan pieces : I'm not accepting money for
commissions, don't ask, I'm not interested. even if you plan to sell
Doujinshi.)
================
PAY ATTENTION!!!
=====================================================
THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE (outside of NOT E-MAILING ME)
=====================================================
14 - There is a format to make a request, I will show it to you shortly.
Follow it to the letter. The format is to save me time, if you are not
interested in saving me time I'm not interested in giving you 30 minutes
of it. Again, respect my time as I'm playing the "gift horse" here.
================
PAY ATTENTION!!!
===============================
HOW THE SELCTIONS WILL BE MADE.
===============================
In about 24-48 hours I will start a new thread under a very similar
subject line. The three selections will be made out of the first 20
replies. Anyone who doesn't follow the rules (or posts something
unrelated) won't be counted in the 20. Duplicate posts and any funny
"sock puppet" games will also remove your posts (and you, PERMANENTLY)
from the 20. Remember, the first 20 legitimate replies to the NEW
THREAD, NOT, I repeat, NOT THIS ONE. (You, of course, may reply to this
thread with questions)
The selections will be :
The first post.
The twentieth post.
And the most interesting post (my choice).
================
PAY ATTENTION!!!
===============================
THE FORMAT TO MAKE YOUR REQUEST
===============================
Follow this format exactly, the items here are in the EXACT order they
must appear in your request. Do not assume since your character is
common and popular that I know it and understand it. I don't care if you
request a picture of Lum, FOLLOW THE RULES!!!!!
1 - THE VERY FIRST ITEM, must be a direct link to an image of the full
characters body, that means head to toe, full costume. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
2 - The web page on which that image is linked in case the server it is
on won't let people view images without being on the first.
3 - The text of said link so I don't have to run around looking for it.
4 - Elevator pitch - A one paragraph summary of who this character is.
Be dramatic.
5 - Pose suggestion (optional)
6 - Your web page (optional - if you have one)
================
PAY ATTENTION!!!
===================

Vash The Stampede is the most dangerous man alive, with a 60,000,000
bounty on his head, everyone in the land is out to kill him to reap the
reward. But the truth is, the "Humanoid Typhoon" is a gunglsing
pacifist, an oxymoron actualized in the heart of a hero who refuses to
kill and is forced time and time again to solve the most disasterous
situations without causing a total disaster... which usually happens
anyway.
Dangerous, comedic, we don't see much of Vash's philosophical side,
pondering life's questions for those four seconds before he begins his
day...

===================
Easy, isn't it?
So now you see why I won't cut any mercy to anyone who can't follow
these rules.
As for people asking for their original characters, you must supply a
picture like everyone else. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!! Get out your pencil and do
your best, you're going to need to learn how to draw anyway, too many
writers, not enough artists willing to work free for you. Take my
advice, I'm a writer first as well, it took me years to learn how to
draw this well but I'm self sufficient.
=========================
LINKS TO MY FINISHED WORK
=========================
This is what my most recent comic book work looks like. All three of
these pieces were completely by me, writing, art and lettering. This is
mainly reference for those of you willing to wait for me to do a guest
strip in your webcomic or who may wish to do a collabo for actual
publication. Again, I'm not offering this right now, so don't ask. Just
be patient. As long as no one gives me a hard time, I'll offer this up
later. (maybe)
A kid safe sci-fi / fantasy piece
