Me either. It's too hard for me. </3

I love meat. D: There are people that just 'become' vegetarians because it's a fad (yep. Sad but true).

I have seen some do that, yep. I've also seen some just not like the taste of meat, period, and that's cool.

Some do it because they have to for health reasons, then there are those that don't eat meat due to animal rights.

I'm watching "Best Week Ever" on VH1 and I think my eyes just crossed. I can't follow the celeb world. xD

LOL. I'm watching Big with Tom Hanks in it. I love this movie. D: - hunts for a Zoltar machine -

I really want to watch "Turner and Hooch". That's one of my favorite Tom Hanks movies. I like a lot by him, mind, but that's one of my faves. I don't know why I don't own it.

Hi~ ^^

Hello Suki! How are you?

I'm doing great! I got back from church a couple of hours ago, ate, then practiced my piano for a while and now I've got youtube music on and I'm ready for Mene! :B

How about yourself?

I'm trying to figure out if my Internet connection is very slow right now, or if it's Menewsha.

I'm just relaxing right now. I'm feeling randomly sleepy though, so I may take a nap before starting homework. Depends if I snap out of it or not. XD;

It's definitely Mene. It's happening for both my sister and I.

I always feel sleepy on Sunday well, sleepier than usual. I suppose because it's the day of rest and my body knows it.

I think you're right. XD

I never want to do anything on Sundays, ever.

It's more like I'm just really laid back on Sundays. I have to get up early for church though because my sisters and I help lead praise and worship but after that I hop into my pjs. xD
I like piano so I usually feel like practicing after church until I'm pretty tired and then I stay online longer than I should. But I'm going to read some later.

Yeah. I really should tear myself away for a bit, but I doubt I will. <33

So what are you up to for the rest of the day? Just hanging out/reading? :3

It really is hard to log out of Mene. :B

Yeah, I'll be doing that then I'm pretty sure I'll go to church tonight.
My sister and I opened up an art shop on here so today I'm gonna try to learn how to draw. xD;;;
She can draw well so she'll be the main one doing commissions while I will do some chibis if I can.

Oooh. ^-^ Art shops sound fun. My friend and I always talked about making one, but then school got in the way. We still might some day, who knows!

I can't draw very well though. Dx I tend to only be able to do anything if I'm inspired.

Hopefully it will be fun. No one has posted in it yet.
My sister hasn't even decided prices. It's hard to decide what her art is worth here since there are some good people charges cheap prices and not so good people asking for too much in my opinion so for now I guess we'll have to ask for people to offer gold amounts or items.

Well, you're better than me then. I can't even draw when I'm inspired. ;_;

I'm really bad at pricing art. I never know what's fair for Menewsha art. Like you said, "so-so" art seems to go high, but then some really "great" art goes cheaply. It's hard to decide what's a fair price.

I would say charge an amount that would be satisfying for the amount of work you'd have to put into it. <3

i'm trying to get my art priced x]
i'm new to mene; i don't know the going rate for art yet xD

But I would work forever on something simple but it would probably still be pretty ugly but that doesn't mean I didn't put a lot of effort into something so the buyer wouldn't get a good deal. If I get satisfied with the way I do chibis then I might charge 50g for a full body but I'll have to see. I think my sister's new chibi style is cute and worth more than that and of course her anime would be worth two to three hundred at least to me.

Abi, I could try to help... but I'm really bad at it. I could give you a range though. Can I see some samples? :3

Same to you, if you'd like, Suki... but like you said, you've seen some of the other art/prices already. xD It might not hurt to hear another opinion though.

oh wow, thanks!
i'll go find some x3

i haven't finished any of my mene commissions yet.
i'm afraid the only samples i have are gaian x]

xXx
xXx
xXx

I don't have an example yet since I haven't completed anything. x.x
But I'll give you her deviant art and a link to the art shop. She's still learning coloring on photoshop though.

i hate that you can't double post here.
makes it sooo much harder to earn money than on gaia D;

I'm sorry for taking so long to respond. It's the site lag.

I would say that, Abi, you should start out with an auction. I feel your art could easily get 1k, depending on what you offered. A CGed fullbody would be easily worth 1k or more.

If you wanted to do headshots, I think 200-300gold is more than reasonable. Bust shots and full bodies would be more, of course. If people jump on your art and you become bogged, you can always raise. Just test the waters. <33 Get known a bit, then do an auction.

Suki, I love the headshots. The pricing would depend on how much coloring is involved, I reckon. Black and white, 100gold, color being more? Then add from there? It's very hard to judge, but I know it depends on what coloring style is available too. :3 It's nice.

oh wow! you really think that much? O:
i wish xD
i spend easily six to twelve hours on a fullbody piece; i wish i could get paid well for it, but on mene i don't know that that would be possible xP

i've had several people tell me i should do an auction to see ..
but even on gaia, i've never done an auction ..
i wouldn't know what to do xD
