I always forget to announce this here… I've been open on-and-off for commissions for many months now. But now that it's more long-term, I figured I should mention it here as well.

After making some changes to my pricing and adding my new, more affordable style to the Commission Rates section on my site, I am ready to open commissions to whatever people ask me for. I will still continue to offer random "Your Character Here" sketches, so if you like those, keep an eye out on FA (I tend to post those there only and they sell out fast.)



I will now have a max of SEVEN (7) open slots for commissions at any given time. I will not have a waiting list, but as you may have noticed, my pace has really picked up now that I'm back to a single part time job. If my queue gets full, I will announce as soon as a slot frees up again.

Very soon, I will start doing reference sheet and icon commissions. I'm actually open for these if you ask, but I will have different samples and special rates available for both in the upcoming weeks.

I will continue to hold raffles once in a while! The first one I held over at FA was a lot of fun. So while I will never be doing requests, this is a good way to get the occasional free art from me.



By commissioning me, you automatically agree to be bound by my Commission Terms, so I thank you for reading them carefully in advance. Below you can see what I am currently working on, and how many slots are currently open. I look forward to drawing for ya!

Okay! It's high time to feature someone new after featuring my dear friend Freddy Vegerano for so many months.

Today I'd like to bring you the work of =pandapaco, or Paco Briseño.

Paco is a Mexican artist, very talented and one of those rare ones with a style that stands out and you wouldn't mistake for anyone else's. It has a flavor that, with its innocence and appealing proportions, reminds me of the Harvey and Disney funny animal comics I grew up reading as a child. He is very quickly becoming one of my favorite artists on deviantART.

Here are some samples of Paco's simply wonderful work, which shines whether it's in digital or traditional form:



I hope he will continue to bring us wonderful artwork for years to come. Be sure to check out his FA too: [link] and him there and here on dA if you don't already! His gorgeous gallery is sure to make it worth your while.
