In A Drawing Sort Of Mood...

... so does anyone want their betta(s) drawn by me?

^This is a reference for you guys to know what style I do.

I do plan on doing traditional, though. (Meaning pencil and paper.)

I only plan on doing something like a lightly-colored sketch. If anyone wants to be my first victim-- I MEAN, first guinea pig to show off this type of art, then I'd appreciate it. ;3

If anyone wants a digital drawing (I do draw the bettas better than I have them in the album as linked above), I'm actually selling those, full color with a background of your choice*, for $10 (more than one fish --> $1 per extra). Which $10 for full color and full background with a fish is... actually a great deal, in the art world. lol. Funds go towards my fishies, of course. If I get enough commissions... maybe I can pay off a few bills, too. xD;


Let me know... I actually haven't felt like drawing so badly in literally two years.


Edit: *background, meaning, if you want plants and a castle in the background. If you just want a solid-color background, I can shave off two bucks.

<< No takers.

In any case, I did take a request.
It's a digital sketch, which I can do for free as well, though the background won't be as detailed as it is in the example below.
The request was made by fishy friend 2, who may or may not have to evacuate their home because of the wildfires. In any case, it only felt right to make it a little prettier by adding a stock background.



Traditional sketches are still available, and full colored digital is also still available. I'm in the process of creating a thread in the Classifieds for that.

Happily! Is there any specific fish you'd like me to do? Or all of them? ;) I don't mind either way.
Edit: I felt it was easier (and prettier based on how I arranged it) to put all of fishy friend 2's bettas on one page. Individual pages will be made for yours, FireK, but I can attempt to put 10 bettas in one page. xD'
