Well, actually, not that far away. Caught a cold (ok, it wasn't actually because of any cold) and feel like being absolutely out of time and space. No, I don't need a doctor, thanx

I'll be back soon, sorry for keeping you waiting.
Take care!

Opening Commissions :)

Journal Entry: Thu Jun 14, 2012, 3:45 AM

Hi there! Finally I decided to open commisions!

If interested, please send me a private note to DA.
I hope you're interested!

I need:
1. Type of commission;
2. As much detail as possible. Colors, accessories, important features, type of clothes, etc.

Once you have accepted the commission, I will inform you and send you sketches. Please do not have unreal expectations on the time the painting will be done. Thank you!

My rules:
1. Prices can be adjusted depending on desired complexity;
2. I have the right to decline an offer;
3. No porno etc.

Digital:

Sketches and black&white pictures:
$5-$30 depending on complexities and how many characters
Ex:

All colored paintings:
$20-$60 depending on complexities and how many characters
Ex:

These include simple backgrounds. If you want a full background please give the details and I will let you know the additional fee.

Please note: I do my traditional works in different technical skills: pencils, charcoal, watercolour, pastels, oil and the price depends on it as well (the last option is the most expensive of course). Shipping usually costs about $5-$10.

If you have questions or would like to discuss a concept before commissioning me or anything else please note me.
I prefer Western Union and Moneybookers but PayPal is in question.
Thank you!

Hi all good people over there! How are you?
I'm here just to inform you of my absence from tomorrow for two weeks so far. I go to the hospital and do hope to see and hear you all after it.

To those who waits something for me - guys, nothing is forgotten

I just didn't have enough time. I'll finish everything. At least I hope so

Yesterday PotF gig was awesome as always. And at the railstation I had a chance to shake Marko's hand and thank him. It gives me a lot of comfort

So, see you later and take care!

Pure happiness

Since I don't want the entry about sadness and grief to be the last one, I'm writing this one ^^ So, how are you, wonderful and amazing people? I miss you so badly these days. But I don't have any free time anymore. Blame the 1st of September, schools, cold wind and my desire to work a lot. I still had no chance to paint anything with my new tablet although I'm full of ideas to try something new. What a pity!
However, I wish you all to take care and have a great day! See ya!

Toisinaan ongelmia... Joskus mitään ei ole tehtävissä... Joskus olet myöhässä... Taas huomenna olet surullinen

I don't know why I use Finnish words. Somebody wake me up...

Well... I'm soooo tired. Hardly could fall asleep last night because of happy drunk people in the street. Seemed like a good half of Moscow had fun there last night

And they're not aware what "Monday" means... And after all I have some new hopes and opportunities. Phheeeeew... I'm going slightly mad.

There's a hole in the wall. This hole leads to a brand new world

Feels like Alice.
