For those of you who do not know what is going on in my life...

1) I have been incredibly busy and doing a lot of work "on spec." While those things are panning out WONDERFULLY, I've got a bit to wait till I get my financial rewards on them.

2) I've been sick for the last 3 weeks (going on 4, I think?). Cascade system failure, it would seem. First I had a tract infection, lasted a week, on the 6th day of it, I got acute food poisoning, which was immediately followed by a sinus infection, which was thusly followed by a cold that has been kicking my ass (I'm still suffering from it), followed by another issue that I can only describe as being private, but it had me freaking out bad (still freaked out) and I need to go get tests done to see wtf is wrong with me in that department.

3) Within me being sick, I haven't been able to work.

4) I just got into a car accident yesterday in an attempt to go see District 9 to forget my woes and worries...life had other plans, clearly. (Long story involving it being THEIR fault, but they are illegal aliens, etc, yeah my life sucks right now.)

5) Due to my mounting medical bills, my inability to work for the last few weeks, and now the car stuff, I'm unbelievably strapped for crash. I'm finally feeling better, other than the need to go get a few more tests to pinpoint the exact issue with me (health-wise), all other ailments seem to be clearing up.

SO! I normally don't take commissions except from specific people with specific things in mind (coloring for Bayani, or a commission here and there if the mood strikes me). However, given the circumstances, I want to be able to make up (financially) for some lost time.

I'm offering a reduced rate on simple character sketches. Normally $75 for a pencil rendering, I'm going to throw it down to $50. They don't take me long and I figure if I get enough of them, it can make up a bit for my bills

ANYWAY! So, yeah...I don't know how this commission thing really works these days or how people announce them, so I figured I would just lay it out there.
