SO I'm finding myself with time for a little while, and I figure I should probably use that time to catch up on a lot of stuff!
One of those a lot of stuffs are commissions or convention sketches people are waiting on!

You know the drill- if you're waiting on something and you're still interested, please note me with what I owe you(and if we worked out a special deal or something, let me know that too!). I won't be barreling through these like crazy, but I want to use the free time to get caught up on stuff. OH! And title your note "Commission" as well.

When I get caught up with enough of these, I'll probably open up commissions or some thing because I need to keep myself busy or I'll go insane c:

EDIT:
Okay, I'm having people interested in new commissions, so if I get enough interest for NEW commissions, I'll open up a 10 commission slot thingy.
PRIMARILY, though, I'd like to take this opportunity to get caught up on images people are still interested in.
(NOTE: this is why I don't charge anyone for commissions up front. I tend to get crazy busy and I don't want people waiting on something I don't have time to do, and meanwhile they're out "x dollars" until I get to it. I'll leave this journal here for, like, a week or two; after that, I'll assume that everyone else has found someone else to take care of their commissions or are uninterested and will start a new commission group, so if you're still interested in a commission I haven't gotten to yet, let me know now, or you'll have to pop into a new commission group slot list and new prices will apply versus the older, cheaper prices)

EDIT2:
Oh wow things have been more work-filled than I though and MORE people have shown interest for commissions, aside from the others that have noted me and let me know they're still interested in their commissions.
I've got some things I need to get done this week; after that I'm going to try and blitz through my commissions. After I get my work done for today, I'll post a new journal entry with the old-commission-still-interesties  queue, along with the new commission pricing I need to do for new commissions. Once I post the new commission prices, I'll ask any new commission folks if they're still keen on wanting one via notes and we'll move on from there.

Thanks for the continued interest! I'm really trying to come up with new prices that are fair for the buyer and fair to me since my time has become more limited and I feel my old prices don't properly represent the time/effort that goes into pieces these days.

Happy early New Year's!
2012 was amazing to me- I hope 2013 will be even moreso!

I just wanted to get my gallery caught up with the RiD/MtMtE covers that have been solicited so far! I'm sure I'm missing something. I'll find out eventually.

I would strongly suggest reading TF: MtMtE and TF: RiD. They're both EXCELLENT books with excellent creative teams with two different styles of storytelling going on! Both books are exciting and definitely enjoyable.

c: So yeah... you should go buy them or something. You know. Because Transformers and AMAZING stories!

Tomorrow morning I head out to fly to Buffalos where I'll be picked up, transformed into a circle and rolled across the Canadian border for TFcon 2012!!
Info for TFcon: [link]

ANYWHO.
For the folks who will be going, I thought I'd put up information and stuff.
I'll have the regular prints thing going on (8.5 x 11 are $5 and 11 x 17 are $10)
I'll also be doing pizza party, "bot shot", and regular commissions (all of these will be limited to a few slots each per day)-
Pizza Party commissions will be sharpie w/crayon on 8.5 x 11 cardstock(I wanted to do newsprint but never got around to buying any!) and will be $5 for 2 characters.
Bot Shots commissions are SD-styled Transformers with a "bot shots" design to them; these will be 4.5 x 6 on bristol and will be black and white for $10
Regular commissions will be on 11 x17 bristol, black and white with up to 2 characters for $25(with additional characters(up to 4 characters total) for $5 each).
edit: Forgot to mention that "regular commissions" will be done in a stylized G1-cartoon-ish style since that's how's I draws them bots by default now : I

Because I I can't bring too much with me, I WILL be limited on the amount of each commission I can do, so I will have a commission cap at the end of the day, unlike at other cons(learning my lesson!) so that you're not stuck waiting on stuff. (I'll be working on con sketches from past cons I haven't gotten to yet while I'm up there in my down-time).

These are the prints that I'll try to have over the weekend:



(note: I'm just bringing the Dan Gilvezan print because I liked it a lot)

These prints will only be available on Sunday(all TF prints I have left will still be available Sunday too):


I want to try and have ONE more Sunday print, but I've been buried with work so much that I don't think I'll be able too. I dunno, we'll see : O

SEE Y'ALL AT TFCON PEOPLE! I look forward to meeting all you people across the border! c:

I always intended to do another set of PPC's, but then work happened, so now part two!!

Please see previous journal for what Pizza Party Commissions are: [link]

Anywho!
There were a LOT of people that wanted in on the second set of PPC's; so they get priority on their PPC(please note me or dm me on twitter @dyemooch if you are still interested!), but I'll throw up a queue of 10 anyway. I may add on 5 more if these fill up fast, too.

Prices and procedures:
Digital only commissions(as in you are sent a hi res file online)
$2.50 get you one character on an 8.5" x 11" 300 dpi image
$5.00 gets you up to 4 characters  on either two 8.5" x 11" 300 dpi images, or one 11" x 17" 300 dpi image.

PAYPAL only please! I'll draw the image and send you a lo-res(72dpi) watermarked image via note/dm/e-mail(which ever you are more comfortable with) and I'll send the hi-res after your payment sends(I will give you the e-mail to send paypal monies to at that time).
Extending the queue to 15 because enough people wanted one to make it 15, but not enough for me to make a Wave 3 before TFcon.

Update: OKAY. Going to start on PPC commissions over on my livestream channel (livestream.com.dyemooch) here in the next hour.

OH MAN.
It's that time of the year people! Got a 'con coming up at the end of the month(TFcon, if you haven't hoids)- and to offset some costs(i.e., by a shitload of zombie vipers and pork bulgogi), I figure LET'S DO PIZZA PARTY COMMISSIONS!!!

"But Mr. Burrito, what's a Pizza Party commission!? Is it about pizza!?"
It doesn't have to if you don't want to!
Pizza Party Pictures are just... really... umn... THUMBNAILS:


They're just little cute things that... I dunno.

"Man that looks like shit and I'm totes not otes for thotes."
uhwwaa?

"WHY WOULD I WANT TO SPEND MY MONEY ON THAT IT LOOKS DUMB"
I don't know why you'd want to spend money on it either! They were pretty popular at Botcon and I actually get notes about people interested in me drawing "their favorite character" in this style, so I figure WHY NOT.
Look, this might not be for you.
There are SO MANY OTHER ARTISTS OUT THERE offering crazy cheap commission prices for their incredible styles, and this is nowhere near my A-game art.
This is just cheap, fun, fast commissions fulled with funny faces and flappy phalanges!

"How much is this gonna cost me if I'm interested, Ripoff Perez?"
D: Oh man it's not a ripoff because let me tell you.
Let me tell you.
Here's the breakdown:
They're $2.50 for an 8.5" x 11" digital commission of whatever character you want. Transformers, not Transformers, or even Transformers. You only get one character though.
BUT.
Butts.
BUT.
If you get TWO commissions ($5), you can get two characters on each commission. So that's like four characters. You can even have them all sharing the same space in one large image!

"This is stupid."
You're stupid.

AND SCENE.

Pizza Party Commissions (Digital Only!)
1 character commission for $2.50
Throw down $5 and you get up to four characters- either on two separate 8.5" x 11" images or one large 11" x 17" image.

Paypal only please!
You note me if you want insies.
When you note, I will give you your slot number. I do the commission, I send you a link to a lo-res, watermarked image and the e-mail address where you send monies via paypal. Once your monies is in my piggy bank(my paypal account), I can either send you a link to download the hi-res picture in the note or via e-mail(which ever is more comfortable for you).

Will open up 10 slots- if they fill up fast, then I'll do another 10. I don't think these will be that popular but I'll open up another 5 slots after that, and so on and so on.

All the people.

EDIT: SLOTS FILLED UP FAST!!! D:!!! If you're still wanting one, just hold up- I'll open another 10 immediately after these guys and will put you in the queue accordingly!

I dunno. I guess that's it? : I  I've gotta get back to work! These don't take but probably 30 minutes to make, so they should be in fast. Like a pizza. PIZZA PARTY.

This commission is also opened up to Twitter followers; instead of their dA avatars being placed next to the number, it will be their twitter account- unless that's too public, then just whatever placeholder name is gravy with them.

ALSO HAPPY WILL SMITH SAVED THE EARTH DAY!

EDIT 2: Oh wwwoooowww. That was fast. Okay! First batch done! I'll put up the second batch slots after I finish up some work!

Files are acting stupid today so I'm going to take a breather and livestream some Tackle Boy/WarriorWheel art before I get back to work. Maybe you wanna join in? I dunno. This was a last minute thing, so just doing what came to mind first- NEXT livestream will be more planned and probably take care of a VERY patient person's request from last summer!

Anyway; so it's livestream.com/dyemooch if you wanna join.

TOTALLY forgot about the superbowl stuff- chose Tackle Boy randomly; maybe we'll pretend it's a Super Bowl themed livestream. Whatever :I Warming up for now!


DERP, livestream ended c: THANKS ALL FOR COMING!

Gonna be in San Antonio signing advance copies of Robots in Disguise #1 at the Alamo Drafthouse this Sunday, the 22!
BUT. But.
There's ALSO going to be a FREE showing of the 1986 Transformers movie there!

:I San Antonio !

OH! WAIT!!
Also, from what I'm told, the books are also signed by Transformers Editor and RiD writer, John Barber! A~nd these are sketch covers... so like... I can draw a somethings on your book too c:

more info here: [link]
(it's not up to date and doesn't mention the books being blank covers or John Barber's sig on them)

ANYWHO! So yeah. If you're in San Antonio or something, swing on by the Alamo Drafthouse in San Antonio (even starts at 6 pm! Sunday!)
OH YEAH! And that print I made is also there that you could buy get.

So yyeaah... : D
If you can't go or aren't in Texas, that's cool( I'm sure there'll be a lot of "I'm not in Texas" or "I can't make it!", and that's totally fine), but if you can swing it, please do : D!

OH MAN.
OH. MAN.
I just finished watching the Gokaiger vs Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Grand Battle movie.

That movie hit EVERYTHING I love about super sentai- most of all, the incredibly obvious, always touching idea of "KEEP AT IT! NEVER GIVE UP!".

Seriously, I love this movie. Not only is Gokaiger an INCREDIBLE series, but this movie is now one of my favorite movies.

And I had to make a journal entry just to say that because I gushed too much about it on Twitter.

And now, I believe, I'm off to spam everywhere else about it too.

So it's been forever since I've updated! Things have been CRAZY here- lots of work, so much of it that I think I'm set for a while, lol.

That said, I've been using Livestream to warm up before work, or to take breaks after I finish a set amount of work. I still have quite a few coloring projects backlogged that I'll be utilizing Livestream for that; as WELL as old backed up commissions I never got a chance to get to(talking to you Botcon people too! My apologies for not finishing up your stuff!).
There's no set schedule as to when or what time I livestream, but I'll remember to make an announcement here; but feel free to sit in and watch for a bit and listen to how much of my playlist is Disney theme park music, hrrkadrrkadrrr.

LOTS of work- gotta get back to some stuff for AVP right now : )
Maybe AVP wouldn't mind my Livestreaming my work on their stuff? Would LOVE it if I could get the blessing to work on a page or two for an IDW book(RiD pages or maybe covers?). That'd be fun c:

ANYWHO. BACK TO WOIKS!
Catch me on: www.livestream.com/dyemooch from time-to-time. I'll either be working on something for somethings or just taking a work break and playing around for funzies. Expect stupidity and the constant cameos of these creations I made called "the Duckguin Fwends"(or "the Puptea Pals" to some((read: one)) ); they're based on friends I Skype-chat with often who frequent the streams too : ) They're great people!

UPDATE:
Going to Livestream for a bit! Not for too long, just a little bit to take a work break : )

UPDATE 2:
~abarai-san reminded me! I do tend to tweet when I'll be livestreaming, versus making a post here- it's just more convenient that way. (obviously, the twitter account you're looking for is Dyemooch)

OKAY- it's been crazy time after Botcon, and I've been doing nothing but working on seventy million projects that are taking up my time like CRAZY(some awesome, some meh).

A nice chunk of the projects(3 of the 5) are done with, and I just have these last two to go. After that, I'll be going back to the commissions(thanks and sorry to those who have noted me!).
I have a few things I need to mail out for people from Botcon- sorry about that guys! The person who is getting a color print- I haven't had time to work on it, so I'm sorry that I haven't sent it out your way yet. I need to send some sketch cards out too- I just keep forgetting to do that and that's dumb of me. I'll try and get those mailed out tomorrow. There's another commission(two?) that I need to mail out, but I forgot the user name for that person and I don't have the mailing address D:

ANYWHO. Back to work- I'll see you guys later with commissions a blazing!

Hey guys!
In about 50 minutes, I head out to my flight and leave to Botcon!
It'll be my first one... so go easy on me. :C

Look forward to seeing anyone going! : D!

So hey guys! Remember me? : D No? Oh wait th-no? Okay!

Well, monies are growing thin with work being thinned out too, so I decided that, aside from the small amount of work I have, I wanted to open up some SD commissions. Really quick, digital only stuff. What it is is $15(USD)for a 6"x 6"(300dpi) one character full color(painted style- cel shading upon request)SD person/thing/whatever. Nothing beyond PG-13; and sorry, only one character per image. I got a lot of stuff to do, and money is so thin it's balding; BALDING I SAID! You will receive the hi-res files in either three separate pieces(hi-res versions of the sketches, inks, and colors), or you can receive a tiff/psd with three layers(sketch, inks, colors); no background, though(solid color or simple gradient might be used if the image calls for it or if requested). Your call; files will be sent via yousendit(or e-mailed if the file sizes aren't too big!)
I'll be opening 10 slots up; if anyone is interested, send me a note with the subject "MONKEYS MONKEYS MONKEYS!" with what you want commissioned. If you have any questions regarding the commissions, please send the header "Monkeys monkeys monkeys?"(see the question mark there?) so I can identify. I'll inform you on how your commission process will go and where to paypal the monies too(oh yeah; paypal only please :C)

If you're waiting on a commission, don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you. My free-time has been fluctuating like crazy, but if you're still interested and I owe you a commission, please let me know that you're still waiting(I've noted a few of you guys already- sorry if I haven't gotten to noting everyone yet! Feel free to note me and get to me if I've not noted you.)


ANYWHO.
MONKEYS!!!!

I had a better, more thought out, more informative, less "COMMISSIONS SO I CAN HAS MONIES FOR TO MAKE PRINTS!" thing going on, but I hit a wrong button somewhere and lost it.
So have this quick, random version of it instead.

Look at all that empty space! Maybe you should commission an SD thingy from me and it'll be taken care of!

I feel like I should also mention that I DO have work still. I have more free time, but it's limited between work and my Botcon prints; these commissions take priority over my prints, but not the freelance work I do. Should I need to pause commissions to do freelance work, I will,but these SD commissions will be finished before Botcon (assuming all 15 slots fill up before the end of next week). FFFFF- My sincerest apologies guys, I gots a lot of last-minute work and it pushed everything out of schedule and I REALLY need to finish my prints for Botcon next week! I will be back on these asap after I finish my prints/Botcon! Thank you for your patience. I should still have time to work on some of these before Botcon, but I just really wanna make sure these prints are taken care of D:

Thank you for your interest- even if you're not purchasing a commission, I appreciate it!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR : D

*this journal entry is brought to you by the 'probably will be updated a long time from now' corporation.*

So for the first time in ever, I'm going to a not-SDCC/not-A-Kon convention- in Austin!
Wizard World Austin Comic Con, November 12-14(the whole weekend) will be the first Texas con I go to- AND, and- my super best chum is flying all the way from Canada Land! will be at Wizard World Austin as well! I'll have to bring him to Killeen and O-mart so he can sample the deliciousness of pork bulgogi :3c

Anywho, he's kind enough to let me share some tables he bought, so we'll be selling prints, signing books, and doing sketchies(I believe?). I'll post information and such as we get closer- and when I actually GET MY PRINTS MADE UP. trololololol

I still need to post the five page previews up from Drift #4- I forgot to do that because I got kinda buried in being sick and doing work.

So, I went and bought a new tablet. Nothing fancy, nothing great- a small Bamboo Wacom tablet- but Photoshop seems to not want to read the tablet.
...well, I mean the pressure sensitivity and stuff- anything related to the tablet in the brush settings does nuttins'; it's like Photoshop only reads the tablet as a mouse and not, well, a tablet.

A friend confirmed to me that maybe I should update my drivers, and I did, but no luck. I've uninstalled/reinstalled photoshop, I've played with my tablet settings in the control panel, and nothing. I'm quite sure there's a simple answer to this that I'm overlooking, and whether that's the case or not, I figured I'd ask you guys here to see if anyone has any suggestions.

If it helps, I'm running on Windows XP and it is a Wacom Bamboo tablet(was using a Graphire2; still have it and will still use it, but this bamboo has a wider work space).

Any help would be appreciated. :

HOLY CRAP! AND THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION FIX COMES THANKS TO !
Chap' suggested I just uninstall and reinstall it- but, taking it a hot step further, I uninstalled it, reinstalled the updated driver, and BOOM. PEN SENSITIVITY IS BACK. OH GAWD, awesome.
Thanks Drew! !
EVERYONE GO TO HIS PAGE AND SAY "THANKS DREW!" XD
