So... Thought id show you some of my older work. I originally was commissioned through a friend who's wealthy step father wanted me to draw him a portrait of a lion, who was willing to pay plenty. When I eventually completed it after all the huge amounts of time and effort I put into it, the rich bastard only offered me R200 (just under $20). I was so angry, I just refused. I was 17 at the time, but I wasnt that much of an idiot to agree to that.
I got the job done though. I dont think I would have finished it if it wasnt for the idea that I would get paid plenty. I still cant believe I had that much patience for all that detail...
Its nothing too eye-catching but just thought Id share anyway.
i don't know where you got the patience for all that detail... anyway, 20$ is a fair price for that lion's hear only...
i've been through similar experiences here. People just tend to underestimate the ammount of work one has to go to get a cool design or a good looking drawing. They just think it's easy and don't give it the deserved value. It's a shame to come to realize that our work is just so ... unconsidered or considered "easy".
Anyway, i think that drawing's amazing. And since i don't have much patience for detail and realism i give you even more credit for it lol
Thanks! haha, took too long. about 2-3 months altogether. I tried to draw all the detail exact to what was in the image I was copying... down to the hair strand. Um, I think I was using an H, HB, and B pencils.

This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and =Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same. As of recent, the talented =Behana has joined us in bringing you this weekly newsletter and we are excited to have her on board. This is a special feature, with a selection of 50 manips from the past year that we loved.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
