Wanna Business?



:bulletred: Art Trades
I sometimes do art trades if, and this is gonna sound mean, I like your work. After all, the essence of trading is that you get something that you like, in return for your work.


:bulletgreen: Point Commissions
They start at 500 per character, 800 if human since clothing is a pain. People tend to complain about anything above 10 points (especially in the case of adoptables) but 1 point is not 1 USD, but much, much less. Please check deviantART Points to get an idea how cheap points really are.
Also, whether I accept them or not, depends on my mood. Right now (February 2012) I'm in the mood for cartoonish animals (Lion King, Farthing Wood, Balto,...) so assume I'm more likely to accept those rather than anime, for example.

Each additional character is the same price, and a background costs as much as the most expensive character.


:bulletblue: Money Commissions
They start at $5 per animal character, $10 for a dressed human.

You can also commission me by the hour, this is $10 per hour and 2.5 hours count as 3.


:bulletyellow: Requests
Nope.


:bulletpurple: Kiribans
Yes. Next Kiriban is 266,666 pageviews. Send me a screen shot and a keyword that you want the picture to be all about :) "My 20 OCs plus my fursona having an orgy" is not a keyword. "Orgy" is a keyword.


:bulletred: Themes
Here are themes I'm likely or unlikely to draw, even for money, at this moment (September 2011):

Likely
-Felines, Canines, Vulpines, Hyaenidae

Unlikely
-Anime, mecha, humans, humanoids, backgrounds, inanimate objects


:bulletgreen: Delays
Expect a response or the finished product within reasonable delays, such as up to 2 weeks, unless a deadline is given. I may or may not accept the deadline, which I will let you know before it runs out.


:bulletyellow: To get an Idea:
Here's a few things with a price estimate. Note that going for a simple/recycled/gradient/no background will always come out cheaper than the price estimates below in cases of present backgrounds.

This is about 9 hours of work (=$90), but I'm willing to do similar for
$50; it will be nowhere below 5000 Points for a point commission. Around 1/4 of that price would go in a background this elaborate.


500 Points or $5.


Around 1200 Points or $12


Nowhere below 5000 Points or $50.


Around 3000 Points or $30.


From 1500 Points or $15 up without the background.


...now if you offer me 500 Points for a 10 character commission, please know that all I will do with that, is laugh and dismiss with no further comment. You have no idea what you're asking :rofl: For me, it's not about how much you have, but about how much work I'm looking at.

Israel
Interests
Yair Lapid, you are a barefaced thief. Your entire government is a bunch of thieves.

So mothers are only entitled to 150 NIS per child anymore? Basically you are paying mothers in Israel 150 NIS to raise a child for you to then conscript, whether the kid wants it or not, to an army service he/she may never return from? And how much are soldiers paid again? I don't even care because it's not enough. It's not enough for the hard work soldiers are doing, often against their will. Considering most demanding jobs are underpaid, it goes without saying that soldiers are also being exploited. Just like firefighters, paramedics, garbage pickups, nurses, etc. The harder you work, the less you get paid. And to raise a kid to the point where he or she is fit to be exploited in the Tsahal system, you pay mothers 150 per month? Right.
I had part of this conversation with a friend from the US. She thinks mothers don't deserve to be paid by the state just because they decided they wanted kids. I've been thinking about her statement and finally found an unbeatable argument as to why Israeli mothers do deserve to be paid: these children will grow up to be the tax payers who pay for your fancy suit. They pay for Bibi's goddamned ice cream. They pay for Sarah Netanyahu's ugly haircut. If they can pay you, through taxes and crappy jobs, then you owe their mothers to help sustain them. You owe Israeli parents to help feed their children if you want to obligate those children to pay for your resting rooms on short distance flights, you owe Israeli parents to help clothe their children if those children are supposed to pay with their lives in the army, or to put their careers and relationships on hold to sweat their asses off in a base with no decent plumbing, or better yet, shit in the bushes during field work. 

I read that the average Israeli salary is 9000 NIS per month. I guess if you were to take all the Bar Rafaelis, Sara Netanyahus, and Yehuda Levis out of that equation, this average will drop to just above half. The average middle class Israeli I know, has a red bank account, cannot afford even a week abroad, eats crap, and can only dream of air conditioning. The average Israeli I know, complains about a shitty job with a shitty pay, often physically or mentally far more demanding than many better paid jobs. Ethiopians and frail old people clean the streets, young men ride garbage trucks instead of studying, old people and intelligent young people who should be studying medicine, sit in the sun as security guards for up to 8 hours with no breaks; so many Israelis do physically beyond exhausting work – not to mention combat soldiers – and can't even afford air conditioning or a short vacation abroad for that. 
They cannot even rent an okay apartment in Tel Aviv, where many of them may be born, but cannot live unless they sacrifice freedom and privacy by suffering room mates. And then the Netanyahus go and say that their job (sitting and talking, and what is it Sarah does?) is so exhausting they need a bedroom built into their plane for a flight that barely lasts 5 hours because first class isn't good enough? Do you know how exhausted many Israelis return home, get paid a tenth of Netanyahu's weekly income, and cannot even afford a weekend in Eilat? 
You're a brave man to dare and threaten the middle class with budget cuts while your prime minister is sucking us dry, and still show your face in public without fear of being murdered. You have my respect for that. You have balls. I hope you bend over and choke on them.

Israel's government sucks its people dry through taxes, underpaid military service, ridiculous study fees, ludicrous arnona, and insane rent. You have no shame exploiting the middle class and sacrificing sons, brothers, daughters, and sisters in the military. You have no shame or hesitation whatsoever to exploit the hard work of Israeli mothers in every way by taking out of their children as much work and money as you can. 
You owe them. You owe them a thousand NIS for each week their children are at the army base, you owe them way more than 150 NIS every month that they feed, clean, and nurse their children so YOU can harvest them and throw them into a system where they get injuries and traumas in the military that make them unfit for many jobs, work themselves into a stupor to pay the rent, and then die poor and unachieved because retirement funds are just as shitty as everything else you're offering the Israeli middle class. 

You exploit Israeli mothers and their children from day 1. You are right that the parents should be the primary caregiver and financier of their children. But that is only fair as long as they are also the only ones deciding those childrens' fate. The moment you barge in and kick those children into military service, the moment you use, exploit, and sacrifice those children, the moment their tiny salaries leave them hungry at the end of the month so the Netanyahus can enjoy better ice cream, you owe them their children's lives worth in money. You owe every Israeli citizen lower taxes, a crackdown on overpriced rent, a cut in arnona, more child allowance, more retirement, and more affordable healthcare and other services. The Israeli middle class works too hard for what we are getting. 18-year-old kid soldiers work too hard and cripple too young for what they are getting. You do not.

Any Israeli, feel free to translate into Hebrew and spread.

I think everything is funny in the right context. You think I go around hating on black people just because I laugh at black jokes?

Sorry I'm butting in here, but honestly, just 'cause someone makes a joke about something doesn't mean they find the subject of the joke unimportant or not serious.
Humour is a way to deal with, cope and sometimes bring attention to something.
