...:star: POINTS COMMISSIONS :star:

That's right. I'm insane.

So here's the lowdown - I reeeeeeeally want a premium membership so I need to save up my points to get it. Unfortunately I keep spending the tiny amount of points I have on other deviants. I'm going to be doing limited slots so I don't over load myself. Also, I need to distract myself with things on my downtime from working/caring for people/studying. (And a big thank you to everyone who sent me lovely comments on my last journal...I love you guys :heart:...)

Here's your options:

Digital headshot
  Tablet practice by ReubenDeFlash Go Blues by ReubenDeFlash

Points 10 per person (max 2 in one picture)

I'm not charging a huge amount for these because I'm not the greatest artist and I feel like I'm stealing points. This can be of an OC or a character from a book/tv show etc etc you like but I will require references and the understanding that I am not :iconyuumei: or any other amazing artist will digital skillzzz. They will just be headshots because WHAT IS ANATOMY

Poetry

9 to 5working our fingers to the bone
bloody stumps clawing at our dreams
made of silk and starlight and hopeful things
slipping through our outstretched digits
pooling at our feet
mixing with the grit
until we trudge through the sludge of
what could have been
and can someone tell me what it's all about
because I've been keeping my nose 
to the grindstone and
all I've gotten is worn down
more and more of me is smoothed away
shaped into something smaller and insignificant
a bit dropped off or
a real chip off the old block
one of a million pebbles
from a million stony beaches
and I'm weary
weary of the pull of the tide
and the hum drum roll of
all of us tumbling over one another
trying to make a difference
in an ocean world
I'm just one drop
and I'm spent
lying on a shoreline
with no more energy to try
Hansel and Gretelyou gobbled up every wide eyed kid that
turned up at your door
I didn't even knock
because I know you're a
gingerbread house
looking good enough to eat
but if I pour warm milk upon your head
you'll crumble if I
give you a taste of your own
delicious magic you'll become
a hot mess
flesh stripped away to show
no caramel centre
sour gums peel back
black bubbling liquorice in a boiling pot
you would have burned me with you and I know  
you're too lost even for breadcrumbs
  trepidationI'm so afraid
something might ruin you in the way that
when perfect snow is laid out in a blanket
the cars kick up cappuccino froth at the curb.
I've been clumsy with your sisters before
never carried them to full term or
I let them hang from rusty monkey bars
where other kids could rip them to pieces.


Points 15 per poem

You give me a prompt/theme and I'll writing you a poem. Simples.

Short Story

Art Trade (FlesolaMZ) - DSR: A Problem SharedVeda knocked on the door of Julian’s office out of courtesy but went in anyway. She needed to speak to Jac and she was fairly certain this was where she would find her. Sure enough, lying on one of the adjusted gurneys was the young woman, looking worse for wear with a bruised cheekbone and a bandage around her torso. She looked half asleep too, as if she’d only just come around. Her dark hair fell about her pale face, a light sheen on her forehead.
“Is now a bad time to talk?” she asked, gesturing to Jac, but really speaking to the doctor who was standing beside the bed.
“Do I look like I’m in the mood to talk?” Jac croaked, and she sounded as groggy as she looked. Julian tossed Jac a look as if to tell her not to be so rude, but instead of saying anything he turned to Veda with a smile.
“Don’t mind her – the meds haven’t kicked in yet and she’s in a lot of pain.”
“I’m fine.”
“She has
  Art Trade (SolBaby): Miscommunication“Well hey there,” Leo said as he entered Cabin Nine to find Calypso, lying on his bed, knees tucked up with a book flat against them and a pencil between her teeth. In denim cut-offs and a white t-shirt, auburn hair pulled up into a messy ponytail, she looked like a goddess. Of course, she was a goddess, technically speaking, but Leo much preferred her like this – dressed down, pouring over some book. It was the sight of her like that - not in a flowing white dress, hair braided and adorned with tiny solar systems or whatever – when Leo completely forgot to breathe.
She glanced at him and flashed him a mega-watt smile that made him wish he’d had the foresight to shower first and get changed out of his oil stained clothes before seeing her. Then again, she was so used to the sight of him after a day’s hard tinkering in his workshop that if he did turn up clean, she’d find it suspicious.
“Good afternoon,” she said softly, closi
  Be My Valentine (DSR): Part Two - Date Night“I’m still mad,” Marley said flatly, holding the bowl of chips she’d retrieved out to the boy in the longue, in a sort of peace offering. Hunter, who was sat beside her with an X-Box controller in his lap, eyed the bowl for a moment, but being the sort of person that would never turn away food, took a handful.
“I’d be surprised if you weren’t,” he replied before shoving the chips in his mouth. He winced a little and altered his chewing a little so it wouldn’t hurt the bruises on his face. “But do the chips mean I’m forgiven at least?”
“The chips mean I’m starving,” Marley shot back, hugging the bowl. “You’re not forgiven. I can’t forgive you for being an idiot because I know you’ll do it again. It’s in your nature.”
Hunter feigned being hurt and rubbed his chest where his heart was. “Ouch, Marbles.”
“No sympathy.”
“Hey, I told you.


Points 20-30 

Depending on the work involved in research, time, getting to know characters, length of the piece, the price will vary but I won't raise it above 30. I am extremely busy with things at the moment but writing is my strength so this will most likely be the best quality of the three choices.

Rules are as follows:

Bullet; Red YOU MUST WATCH ME 
Bullet; Blue NO FURRIES/ANTHROS
Bullet; Purple NO PORN/NUDITY/GENERAL NAKEDNESS OR SEXY TIMES
Bullet; Pink I can't believe I even have to write this but...NO NON CONSENSUAL/ABUSE STORIES i.e. RAPE, CHILD ABUSE, you get the gist... can't believe the requests I get...
Bullet; Yellow PAYMENT UPON COMPLETION - I WILL NOT UPLOAD BEFORE THEN :)

I obviously reserve the right to reject an idea. :) AND this is the part where I find no one cares enough to pay points...:iconcryforeverplz:

Wait! Do fanfiction commissions count? ;D Cuz I'd totally ask you to write about that LC/School AU you just told me about. :lmao: According to ff.net, I don't any of these sorts of fics yet. D:>

On another note, I feel ya on the 'I can't believe I'm doing this' part. xDD;; I've said that I'd never do commissions because the amount of money I'd be able to get for it does not at all equal the amount of time/effort put into it. xDD;; And then recently I started considering point commissions. Whut.

(I didn't comment on the previous journal, but I will pray for you guys or at least try to remember to. Gosh, I'm such a bad PK xDD
I should probably also get off of here and go study. Good luck to you! o/)
