I don't know if this is uncouth in artists' circles (although I am not a part of any artist circles, so y'ohwell), but I figure it's worth an ask and could be a lot of fun! Some of you gave flattering suggestions of a Ponyville CafePress store, which is something I still have my eye on. But I wondered if anyone would be interested in purchasing Ponyville art in the meantime? You see, I am a poor college student, much like Minty and Dash (although hopefully more like Minty than Dash.. or maybe I should aim for another duo of characters entirely, lol).

The art would be completely digital. I could produce any Ponyville character you'd like (although in situations restricted to what would be appropriate for that character.. so no Lemon Squashes dressed as Amberlocks), or I could produce an original character or pony that I don't use in Ponyville.

Perhaps something like $5 for pencil sketches, $10 for colored digital art, $15 for digital colored art with a background? Multiple characters would increase the price. The images would be be yours to do with what you please.


Pencil sketches would look something like this. although without the paper lines!:







Colored, digital art something like this:








And colored art with a background would look similar to any given panel of the most recent Ponyville strips.







I don't anticipate a large response, but in case there is, I need to make this a limited offer due to my school schedule; this offer is restricted to the first 5 people interested, and/or those who are able to pay via Paypal before October 4, Tuesday (whichever stipulation comes first). I would produce your artwork no later than 1 week after receiving payment.

You can respond here if interested, or email me at spoosh@livejournal.com, and we can hash something out! :) This is actually pretty exciting for me. :D

I am flattered by the desire, though, Featherfire! :D

"I think you'll get a much larger response than you expected"

I hope to get a response, because this seems like a lot of fun to me at the moment, let alone the $. I've never done commisioned work before!

I would LOVE my characters drawn. XD I could probably only afford pencil sketches, however, since I have, what, seven characters (all so beloved!)? God. O____< Maybe I should thin them out for this. I'd love to see Lemon Treats in your style, though. X3 Bwaha.

*thinks this over* ...Okay, nah, I'd want all seven. Smooze.

Right now I can't afford it, but I'm *definitely* interested at some point. Could you give me an idea of how much a sketch of seven ponies would be?

Haha I wish I wasn't a poor college student too. If my campus job comes through anytime soon (been waiting almost 2 weeks now >_<) I'd be interested. I'll let you know.

O.O ........... O.O

So am I getting this right....you would do original characters? Like persona's? I've been dying for that....-starts to weep-

I so hope I'm right...-images rushes into mind- Cause I have money...shouldn't spend saved money..but I'm sure I can make it up...need drawings...-drools-

Don't know if I can have money into Paypal before the 4th...since I have to use my sisters and of course bank transfers take long... But must have...

You make me so happy! -giggle/squeals excitedly and glomps-

Now what do I want?!?!!? I know I want Ombyshadow and Surprise....and maybe Arti..... So how much for extra characters in the picture?

-too excited to think straight-

Which kind of picture do you want? :)

:D I'm really flattered (and excited!) that you're so happy about the prospect!

Extra characters.. ::thinks for a moment:: ... $2.50 more for each additional pencil sketch character, $5 more for each additional digital character (and the same for with a simple background, since a background is the same no matter how many characters. :P).

Oh man....Now, after looking thru the panels again...Kind of wanting Omby and Surprise giggle/squealing/hyper giddy over the crazyness of Roo... Have wanting that in color...but myself is saying no about that, heh! Cause of wanting more images...might have that done in sketch...

And then get Omby in color...

So many options!....-thinks more-

I think I have it now, and the money won't be in paypal until like maybe Thursday at the least, is that okay?

I'm thinking I'll go with that Ombyshadow, Surprise, and Roo scene sketched.

Then Ombyshadow and Artibatirae in color.

And probably Ombyshadow and Bloodvixen sketch.

I hope you do this again, so I can save up more money for more characters in your style! = D -still all giddy/excited- Oh! I guess I should get pictures together to show what some of those characters look like, heh. ^^

I think I might take you up on this. I've already been done as a pony before (an actually pony, not a brother) so there's a reference already and a cutie mark to work with.
