Is anyone looking to take a commission?
« on: December 03, 2012, 03:35:08 PM »
I have a customer I can refer to someone if they are looking for a commission.

He wants a G3 pony based off of "Ultimate Spiderman". He's looking for the pony done in the costume, with a short red mane and tail. No sculpting needed. He just wants clean lines and accurate colors. He kept referring to this pony http://surlygurls.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/jodimoisan_my_little_spider_man.jpg?w=400&h=398 And Im not sure who made her, but I did tell him that I won't just copy someone elses work. Unfortunately, that pony is basically just the Ultimate Spiderman suit on a pony. Not a lot of room for creativity with it.. Though at that point, I dont think it's copying that pony, so much as just copying spiderman. *shrug*

My price that I quoted him for this was $60 (shipping included) and he offered $75 paid up front if it could be done and mailed to him by Christmas. You are free to charge your own prices, but that gives you a ballpark idea of what he was willing to spend on me.

I had to turn down this commission due to a complication on my end (Im not doing any more airbrushing or aerosol till I have a proper painters mask), but I told him I can refer someone to him. So, anyone who is interested, just send me a PM including both your email address, and a link to some of your current work. I will forward anyone who responds by 12/4 5pm Central to him, and let him contact whomever he likes.

Hrmm... I'd be interested in giving it a shot, but I'm avoiding FBR currently. The FBRs I've been trying to do have just been giving me a headache... So, I'm putting them on hold until after Christmas. Santa's bringing me an airbrush!  ^.^

Hope you find someone!

I wish I could. This seems like a lot of fun, but that line work is probably way above my level. :(

I wouldn't be comfortable 'copying' a pony.
I'd probably have to email the original artist...

Meh.

Ty Alatariel. I'll pass that info on to him!

RJ, I feel the same way, but when I looked at actual Spider-Man art, there are literally no changes I could make To that design and have it still follow spidermans costume design. In this specific circumstance I personally wouldn't feel like I was copying another artists work, because working from the same concept with the same goal, there is only one possible outcome. The only difference would be in how you did the hair, IMO.

Thanks to those who have already PMd me. If you're interested, keep it coming. I'll add you to the list I send him :)

I suppose you're right.
I'm just a silly pony :)

I'm in the UK anyway so the pony would never reach him in time :p

OK - I have emailed him the info of all three ladies who responded. You won't hear anything further from me on it. At this point, it's up to him whom he chooses.

Thank you so much! I hate having to turn down commissions, and I am grateful that you three were willing and able to offer to help out.
