I am pushing myself now to work on backgrounds, if you've ever noticed I rarely do intricate ones it's because I usually lose patience and I need to practice more on them. So I'm going to be trying to do intricate background paintings in Photoshop or Painter 12. If anyone cool backgrounds that wants me to do a free digital rendering please shoot me an e-mail to alexabrodt@gmail.com with a photo attached or a link to a flickr or photobucket.

I am looking to practice on outdoor scenes in daylight and night time, as well as inside buildings with one or multiple light sources. If you have photos of a foyer with a winding staircase or any sort of Cathedral interior please send me a link or e-mail me your photo.

Professional wise I am currently illustrating a children's book and in the works of sealing a deal to illustrate a native storytelling with a publishing company.

This is my free lancing, illustration, until I can find a full time Graphic Design or Illustration job. We don't have really anything in Oklahoma illustration wise, and hardly Graphic Design things. I work part time with the same job I've had for almost five years and as of late it has been...hectic to say the least. I am very eager to move on and hopefully find a job on one of the coasts like California where there are an abundance of Illustration jobs.

Thanks for listening~

I just got my hands on my Cintiq 21ux today! Fedex delivered it to my parents door step and after me taking it home and doing stupid things like not realizing there's a switch for the VGA output you have to flip I finally have it up and running!

I am so incredibly excited that I get to delve into digital painting again with this AMAZING tool that was my graduation from College back in December present.

Now, as I relearn my Digital Painting skills as I have mainly done Traditional Media for the past four and a half years I will be doing very very dirt cheap commissions. I also really really really need some side cash as Oklahoma has no Graphic Design/Illustration market to speak of and there are no full time jobs. I still work at my part time University staff job at the library and just applied at Starbucks for part time.

So, monies welcome.

I'm thinking....

$20 one character portrait commissions
$40 full character commissions
$60 full character with intricate background commissions

$15 dollars per extra character on digital commissions.

~With digital commissions I will send you the full size/resolution file without a watermark, prints to be mailed on request)


Of course I can still do traditional commission from...(These are my regular Artist Alley convention prices)

$10 full character pencil sketch ($5 per extra character)
$15 full character inked ($5 per extra character)
$25 full character Copic marker ($10 per extra character)

~With traditional commissions I will send you the full size/resolution file without a watermark as well as snail mail you the original!

Sadly I didn't know if I'd still be in Oklahoma this long after I graduated so I didn't sign up for our Tokyo in Tulsa convention and I got wait-listed. It's sucktastic.

But with the help of you lovely people we can make up for that suckiness :D

Please deviantNote me or email me at alexabrodt@gmail.com (This is my professional e-mail, this way I can keep track of commissions easier)

Speaking of which, I finally got a professional Deviantart account (Still need to finish my own professional website)

It is alexbrodt.deviantart.com/

Please go and watch me and my budding professional portfolio! Leave critiques and comments! :D

Well I apparently haven't updated this in over two years, so hi everyone!

Currently I'm still in college but will be graduating in the Fall of this year. I will be at Tokyo in Tulsa this summer with an artist alley table with my co-conspirators of Fujoshi, but I am afraid I will be unable to attend Izumi-con due to getting ready for Senior Show for Graphic Design that month.

I am not accepting any commissions at this time, and I'll be working my normal job and now have an internship during the summer.

Other than that I have a cat now, he's a Bengal cat and I rescued him last summer.
Not much else going on, had a birthday last weekend, 22 now, woooo. Considering I was in highschool when I joined DevArt I feel like a wizened Deviant artist.

Thank you for Watching me and I hope to post more illustrations when I have the chance between school projects.

So.

Problem. Errrr.

For two weeks I am on break from work from the 20th of December to the 4th of January.

I do not get paid for this break, I work at a university Part-time, therefore I do not get Holiday pay.
So if any one of you are familiar with the term *Two weeks in the Hole*, you know what I mean.

I won't get paid for a MONTH between January 2nd and 30th.
I am screwed people.

I need work.

I need it now.

And I beg you to help me out.
I'll draw anything you like, I'll paint, I just need some fast cash and we can negotiate prices.
I just discovered that I have two very large phone bills (One that just came and one for next month) Because I'm stupid and didn't realize my rollover minutes drained and died.

And I talk too much to people on their work phones.

I live on my own, I pay my own rent and all of my bills.
I'm desperate. Oh so very desperate.


My prices are quite cheap for the high quality work you will receive.

$5 PER EXTRA CHARACTER

1 CHARACTER FULL PENCIL COMMISSIONS $10

1 CHARACTER FULL PEN AND INK COMMISSIONS $15

1 CHARACTER FULL COPIC MARKER COMMISSIONS $20

-------

1 CHARACTER FULL DIGITAL COMMISSIONS $50  (PRICES VARY ON DETAIL AND COMPLICATON OF WORK)

$15 to $20 per extra character


1 CHARACTER FULL SIZE PAINTING OIL/ACRYLIC: PRICE VARIES. Around 100 and NEGOTIABLE

THERE WILL ALSO BE AN ADDITIONAL COST OF POSTAGE/SHIPPING

*Personally I like to ship the flat-rate 4.50 or something like that 2-3 day shipping. Less chance of the piece getting bent.

*For the digital commissions I will send you a print of any size you like, after 11x17 it may have to cost you more. Negotiate through notes on backgrounds for any piece

Good quality work for cheap prices people! Get your special someone (Including yourself) a fantastic and utterly unique designed piece for Holidays, Birthdays, or just because you feel like it.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE (Day or so) PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT magicalprettydragon@gmail.com
