Commissions

[dr-vauclair-art]

Time to make my annual post and vanish into the void again just to show I am alive and still drawing, still trying to improve. A friend asked me how the good ol Colonel Autumn would look like if I had to draw him today, so I tried to sketch how I would design him right now.

Eeeeey, here's me again with a lazy '´commissions are open' post.

As stated, 2 slots for now. If you're interested, want more detailed rules or have questions, just DM me. Payment via Paypal only.

Gonna finish the challenge today and I feel like doing commissions again, haven't done them in a while and I'm in the mood for portraits.

Will officially open 2 slots later, keep your eyes peeled if you're interested.

Do the 100 heads challenge, they said. It will be fun, they said. You will improve so quickly, they said.

And Day 6 is done!

For my fellow artist friends who want to do the challenge as well, here's the original video for it. It comes with a Pinterest board for references if you don't want to use your own, I'm just taking advantage of my image hoarding and screenshot addiction when watching movies and shows.

How can I say no to Bobert?

I think I still remember how to hold a pencil.

I wanted to ask you about potential commission. I really like you Knight Shin and was wanting a picture of him and my Vault Dweller. Your page says they open in September but you will take applications ahead of time?

Hello and thank you! The post you're referencing is pretty old (I wish Tumblr would show dates clearly) and I'm currently not planning to do any commissions in the near future. At the moment I prefer to go through various classes and books I acquired over time with previous commission money because I don't get better by them collecting dust on my shelf.

Other people already contacted me about commissions, and if you wish, I can also put you on a contact/waiting list and come back to you once I feel ready again.

Cheers, V

Bought myself a little skull for my desk, now I'm building an army. Which is just a fancy way to say I just wanted to give a sign of life and that I'm currently doing some anatomy studies.

I don't really have a "Year Recap" for 2024 as I don't have any finished/polished art except for the 30 portraits I did. So, have this. I tracked how much time per day I spent with art in 2024 to have a little overview. I'm a data guy after all.

Can't wait to come back with something finished one day and disappoint with my progress.

Guess it's time for a little update as I won't post any new art this year and probably some time.

I'm still alive, currently working through the workbook to "Drawing on the right side of the brain" and forcing myself to return to traditional art as it's less forgiving than digital.

Generally, I'm focusing on my fundamentals and working through books and courses that piled up over the years. Can't improve by just buying them, gotta put the work in. This is why I'm silent for the moment. A lot of still lives, exercises, studies. And right now: A lot of eggs. Always trying to get better every day.

Cheers.

Finished the workbook and got some new study material to go through now. My "back to the roots" training arc continues.

trick or treat?

 I've already discussed the matter with the Senator and it looks like your appointment as Director of Halloween was already finalized. So, here's the brief: Treat. always treat. We've had to endure much, you and I. Time to live like kings, or better than kings: Gods!

Happy birthday Vau!

(Insert picture from thr Fallout 3 birthday party, but Tumblr doesn't allow media for anons:(((( )

Haha, I appreciate it regardless. Thank you, my friend

30 portraits in roughly 6 months. And with that, the challenge has concluded. Thanks for everyone who took part in it by sending me suggestions, thanks to everyone who supported me throughout this experience and 'Welcome!' to those, who have found this little blog because of it.

I will now return to my art school hiatus and focus on my classes and assignments - which means I will become more inactive again. If you want to chat, feel free to DM me here or ask for my Discord. I'll try to become more active/response there now.

Furthermore, I might be open for 2-3 portrait commissions in August, so hit me up if you're already interested. But for now, I just want to take a breather and let that challenge sink in.

Thank you.
