#commission(s)

HEY FOLKS! I have 3 sketch commission slots open, and would greatly appreciate a signal boost for these!

Please read the WHOLE form before you commission or ask any questions. It is a contract. Even if you have commissioned before, terms and conditions change all the time.

Who?

It’s ya gurl, nerdgasmz! I’m a (almost 25yo) artist who works at a terrible, underpaying fast food job to make ends meet! I’m mostly known for doing 2D and 3D art: comics, character designs, animations, fan art, etc.

Why?

Due to some Bullshit™ between my Credit Union and I, I am missing a huge chunk of money after getting paid. Specifically: $124 in NSF fees for 4 separate purchases that total to $13.47 (Yeah.) I tried talking to them about it and they’ve already decided I’m not getting that money back.

What?

I am offering Speed Sketch emergency commissions!

When?

This Saturday and Sunday, June 1st & 2nd: From 3PM-8PM Central time!

How?

-$20 gets you a sketch of ONE character (waist up), in approximately 20 minutes, and you get to watch it live!

Example of a waist-up sketch:

-$30 gets you a sketch of TWO characters (waist up), in approximately 30 minutes. Great for art of your favorite pair of fictional friends, teammates, lovers, rivals, etc. Again, you get to watch me sketch these live!

Example with 2 characters:

(Will be streamed on youtube for ease of sharing on tumblr)

My target goal is 7 sketches, which means that 7 slots are available!

In return for my services, you will get a .PDF copy of our commission terms & correspondence, and a copy of your invoice and payment for your records.

Where?

On my Youtube channel!

(For ease of sharing on tumblr’s dashboard.)

Okay, sign me up!

If you’re interested, you can e-mail me: [email protected]

COMMISSION TERMS (REQUIRED READING) -These terms apply to May-June of 2019. -Limit ONE (1) Commission per person, until the existing commission is completed. -Visual Reference required with description. You can use a collection of google images, a tumblr post, doodles, character creators, etc. But you HAVE to have image refs.

-No mecha or anthro characters (Exception: “Sonic the Hedgehog” anthro characters) -No overly-complex armor/clothes. It is difficult (and expensive) to draw those things, especially with the constraints of the planned stream. -No NSFW, Fetish, Gore, or otherwise explicit artwork. No lolicon/shotacon/pedophilia for any romantic/ship art. -Transactions are non-refundable, and must be paid upon receiving a low-res preview of the final (hi-res) art. Transactions will be processed via Square Invoice and/or Streamlabs. Please check your finances and have your credit/debit card ready in advance for payment! -I, Lex Williams, reserve the right to refuse any commission (via e-mail and commission correspondence) for any reason not listed, and without additional explanation. -The art commissioned may be used personally by the commissioner (ie: posted to social media, colored, altered, etc.) -The art commissioned may NOT be redistributed or reproduced for profit. -I, Lex Williams, reserve my creative rights to the commissioned artworks produced.

I will update this post with any changes to my target goal as necessary, via reblogs or direct editing.

I can’t come to the stream/buy a commission, how else can I help?

-Signal boost this post! -Donate via Streamlabs!

-Donate via CashApp: $LexW (personal only, no business payments!!!) -Pledge monthly to my Patreon!

It’s me, your friendly neighborhood artist & animator Lex AKA “nerdgasmz!”

So yesterday I learned that both of my parents are currently unemployed due to them being mistreated at their respective jobs, so I’m the only person right now making any income.

The problem with that is that at the current moment, as regular income, I only get paid monthly, and it’s not enough for me to pay my bills with- much less for me to support a family of 3 adults on. I’ve been job hunting and turned down repeatedly, but I haven’t stopped yet. Until I do land a steady job, I’ve been doing commissions again for the past couple of months.

You can learn more about my situation under the read more further down, but let me get on with it: This isn’t a gofundme or youcaring donation pool post or what have you. I feel that there are others who are in more dire situations who need help. But I do want to let you all know that it doesn’t take much to support me.

I have a Patreon!

For those of you who have known and followed me for years, you know the quality of my work, and what the goal of my work is: I want to entertain people and make their days a little easier by giving them some humorous or cool art to look at.

Because of this, I’m supported on my patreon account, “nerdgasmz”! In addition to 2D art, I’ve also been learning how to create 3D art and animations, which I post WIPS of on there. There’s much you have access to if you’re a public follower of my page, but for as little as $3 a month, you can view things that the public can’t!

I stream on Twitch and Picarto!

I do game and art streaming on my twitch channel, “miss_nerdgasmz”, and exclusively stream art on my Picarto channel, “nerdgasmz”. I have a donation link via Streamlabs (connected to my twitch) where you can contribute if you like what you see!

In terms of art, I usually stream my works in progress, like of certain drawings or my 3D work in Blender- but I also do a cool style of commissions stream where I do commissions LIVE for an audience, and you learn just how quickly I can draw in a time limit! (And because of current circumstances, you’ll probably be seeing some of those streams too!)

On twitch, I stream “Overwatch” during the evenings, and I mainly play Mercy, Zarya, Symmetra, Lucio, and Pharah- every other character I’m usually practicing. (Except Dva- I’m good at her, but I don’t main her) I’m usually grouped up with some friends where we make silly mistakes, some rare cool plays, and complain about the meta of Overwatch and what kind of balancing we’d wish to see in the game. You can check out some of my highlights in my tag, #Lex’s Overwatch Highlights

I also may stream “Dungeons & Dragons”, which I and many of my friends have been into lately (largely inspired by “The Adventure Zone” and “Critical Role”) But I and my friends haven’t fully arranged that yet. But hopefully soon!

Commission openings!

You can check my tag, #Lex’s billboard for openings! You can see previous commissions I’ve done for people in my tag, #Commission(s) and the tag is chocked full of art I’ve completed for others.

As I mentioned before, I do a special type of stream where I draw live for an audience, and I call them “Speed commissions!” The times can range from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the type of art commissioned, but the art unfolds in real time, which can be awesome to see.

I’m also selling my drawing tablet!

I’m selling my Yiynova MVP10U tablet, which is what I’ve used for art for the past 2 years. I feel like my skills and needs have outgrown the resolution of this screen tablet, but it’s still really good and can be used by other artists who might be looking to upgrade to a screen tablet, but don’t have or want to shell out the money for a Cintiq. [You can find the full details about it in this post] And the price of the tablet is negotiable!!!

I do have my mom’s Microsoft Surface 3 that I’ve been using with her permission for art and I’ve learned how to use it as a drawing monitor with my Laptop.

For more detail about my situation, you can read under the cut:

[August 2017 Commissions are now available!]

All prices are in USD.

Click the link above to visit a form you can fill out! I used Jotform, which makes the form more dynamic, so you can see the math change appropriately as you select more detailed options.

5 slots available for commission! Once those slots are filled, the form will become unavailable. Unless, that is, I decline a commission, in which case, you can check back on the status of the form.

All the legal stuff is in the form, and you can ask questions or voice other concerns on it as well! (PLEASE be sure to read all the fine print: a commission IS a contract.)

Pricing now includes taxes and fees, so please be aware and make sure you have a few extra dollars before you decide to purchase!

Once your commission is accepted, you must be ready to make your half payment. Please have your funds arranged in advance.

After a very long and unexpected hiatus from commissions, commission streams are back on! I still need to take my time and not go overboard, so I’m starting small and hoping I’ll progress from there.

I’ll be reblogging this post with info for the time, dates, and RSVP form that’s relevant to the week; I’ll also be making update posts on twitter and twitch, so be on the look out! I’ll try to make these announcements in advance where possible.

Some things to note:

The first four people who RSVP will have their commissions done on the first scheduled day, and the rest of the reservations will be done on the second. You may NOT submit multiple RSVP responses, otherwise your duplicates, or even your original submission for RSVP will be deleted.

If you miss out on the RSVP, that’s okay! You can still come to the stream and get your work done on the spot! Just be sure to have your e-mail, character references, and funds available if you stop by.

As usual, I will be doing live Sketch Commissions!

Single Character: $12.50 USD

Two Characters: $25 USD

And you can get your sketch upgraded to color! However, coloring your sketch will take place the next stream day, if available.

Single Character Upgrade: $12.50

Two Character Upgrade: $10
