I've got two projects thiiiiiiiiiiiis close to completion and ready to be shipped/given to their owners. And I just procured another commission, albiet a small one. Nothing wrong with that. I showed a lady I work with at the restaurant three of the magnets I've made so far for one job and she asked if they could be customizable. "Of course!" I said, "Totally customizable! I paint each one, so I can put anything you want on them." She looked at me out of the corner of her eye and asked, "Can you do cats?"
"Love to."
So she's going to email me a picture of her two cats and I'm going to do a portrait of each. ^__^ I love doing business. I have a couple of canvases that need some paint-loving. I mean large canvas, not the 2"x2" canvasboards I've been doing. I think I'll try my hand a painting a dragon. Blame Skyrim.
Small ramble: Last week, I had a really crummy day, so I took over five forts and razed Windhelm to the ground while commanding my dragon to barf flames all over my adversaries. Very cathartic.
Ramble over, lol.
I think the other one will be either fireflies or a horse. Haven't decided yet. Also, I think this set of 'Animal Magnetism' is better executed than the one that went up for auction. Practice makes perfect, eh? Plus I've got newer brushes better suited for fine line work.
Business plan update: I ran a contest on my fan page to get some idea as to what to price pieces at. Didn't garner as much interest as I'd hoped, but some feed back is always better than none. I really need to carve out some personal computer time and do more work on figuring out GIMP, work on my logo, work on KayTee Krafts' logo, and get in touch with my author friend. Sort of have a secret project going on that I'm excited about...
I'll post pictures of the magnet set and the Shih Tzu portrait when I'm done with them, as well as the two cat magnets when I get those. Ta Ta For Now!
