I have been seeing a ton of art/cosplay/animation commissions lately, so I figured... why not?

After facing the facts that I won’t be getting a job in my field anytime soon due to 7 years of not being confident in myself and temporary giving up art after being rejected a few times... and yes, feeling sorry for my dumb self, I decided to do some art and animation commissions.  Sorry... not doing cosplay commissions at the moment. I need to get back into perfecting my art skills as well as improving on... *shivers* my poor anatomy.  Before and after coming back from that Momocon job fair I realized that I truly missed drawing and animation.  Next to designing cosplays it was such a wonderful escape route.  It’s a fuck ton of work, but it is fun!  i need to improve my art and I need to get better. So maybe this will be a good practice...

now lets not get too excited. I’m not planning on making a feature length film.  I will make the animation gifs at least 2 seconds long.  Do you all have any idea how many frames it takes just to make a character pick up a heavy ball off the floor?

***Just so you know-if some of you don’t know... I will be moving soon to start a new life and chapter (as well as going to more conventions with Kimihako Blade cuz she's awesome), hopefully before the end of Summer.  I will not start the commissions right away.  Not until I am all settled in Texas.***

Here’s the deal:

-if you want still art commission: $10 ea. for rough sketch. $20 ea. for clean/line art. Or... want it to have a splash of color- $30 ea.

-if you want a 2 second animation gif: rough sketch animation: $40 ea. Clean sketch animation gif $60 ea.  Colored animation $80 ea.  do you prefer exported in a wmv/avi/quicktime/etc file WITH SOUND?- $100 ea., clean art $100 ea., or colored is still $100 ea.

-My kryptonite: I need major improvement with drawing backgrounds, so I hope it's okay you won’t have any for either media. If there is anything that I just cannot simply master I will up front let you know.

-I will show you progress of my work (with animation i will only show the key frames WIP).  until you are satisfied that is when i will receive your payment.

-I will only take 7 reservations at a time.  Once all my books are cleared the commissions will open back up and we’ll start over.

-these request can be an original character you’ve made, a character from your favorite show/game/anime/podcast/etc.  Yes these request can be something family friendly.  Yes! It can ALSO be NSFW (depending how graphic this is, cuz I do have a limit)-but again if I don’t think I  have the skills to draw/animate  it I will let you know up front.

-For safety measures if you guys are planning on sharing my work online they will be watermarked. Hope that’s okay.

-PAYPAL only (unless we can work something else out).

-To be the first to get a reservation email me: cryhog@gmail.com

First off I would like to thank you guys for the bday wishes, the ones who just started following me, and to the older followers who still do since I am not as active.



Nothing big to announce. This coming Friday, valentine's day (which is also 's bday ... you better wish her a happy bday. -_-) I will be going to kami con in Birmingham  AL. It's up to the last minute, but it's gonna be super cheap... 25 bucks cheap since I'll be going in a big group for the second time.  It makes so much a difference. If you see me say hello to me. ^.^



If the cosplay gods say so I will also attend MTAC in... Memphis, TN with my group! Cheap and a good opportunity!




"What about Metrocon?"
Not too sure. I'm having a fight between going through a new life verses a hesitant life. It's a complicated, long story. Too lazy to talk about it.




I have some new YouTube vids. Mostly doing vocal covers, some of you over seas might not be able to view it due to the... C word. I will upload it on tumblr or facebook later.

Other than that I am still slacking on remaking my Cloud and Leon/Squall cosplay. Lol laziness is not fun.

in case you guys haven't seen it yet:

i am still working on my new video "The Intimate Un-Boxing of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Limited Edition."  i got the box delivered to me last week and i STILL haven't opened it even though i already beaten it on my 360 lol. i'm trying to make it funnier than the one i did last year. if you guys can come up with ideas for me i will be sure to give you full credit.

also be sure to follow me on my cosplay fan-page. www.facebook.com/oinkoinkmofo
remember: the more followers i get the bigger my motivation will be so i can make future cosplays!!

once again, sorry i haven't been active on here. you can blame tumblr for that.

just wanted to say that i had an amazing time at Metrocon 2013! i think it was the best one i've been to since 08! it was wonderful seeing SpoonyChan, Tony-kun, Parle, and my newest buddies Jake and Sherry! don't really gotta lot to say but that it was enjoyable and that i'm happy that went through so much to help me go back there again this year. i cannot stress enough when i say how much i owe this girl! she is my angel, sister, and friend! if i forgot anyone, let me know and i will edit this journal!!

thanks Metrocon!! can't wait for the 4 day weekend in 2015!!!!

so yes. i am officially going thanks to my wonderful friend who makes most of my dreams come true. love ya gurl! hope to see some familiar faces and new ones as well out there.

i'll be debuting one of my fave Fem! cosplays that i haven't worn in nearly 7 years: Sol Badgurl. i vamped it up a bit, but not too much to celebrate the newest Guilty Gear game coming out. will be Fem! Ky and it is looking more badass than my junky Sol's.

my second debut which i'm really excited about as well as still finishing up  is my Fem! Ratohnhake:ton (DLC, Assassin's Creed 3: Tyranny of King Washington). being fully inspired by Rick Boer's AC cosplays as well as others i want this to be as perfect and fully detailed as possible other than sexy and having heads turned. it's actually so revealing i wonder if i can get away with wearing it at Metrocon...? I am sure Anime Blues Con wouldn't give it a second thought. lol i've been trying to get a photo shoot of it for the longest, but i will hopefully try it again later this week. thanks, Kimihako Blade!

and finally my second crossplay debut: Dante from DmC: Devil may Cry... i hope. not much to say on this one because i haven't even started on it yet, and the con is a couple of weeks away. need to get my shit together.

other than that i'm still trying to get a better printer to send out autograph photos for the ones who requested it, i will **try **to make a tutorial on how i made that Assassin's Creed wolf pelt and put it on both my channels, life is good,and QUiN says: "S'up?" that's it! 'kay bai!!!
