Anonymous asked: Hi! As someone with experience and who seems to know what they're talking about, I'd like to ask your advice. I want to open up commissions, and I consulted your own price list as a guide. However, as it's my first time, do you think I should price mine cheaper than this sort of guideline so I have a better chance of getting more commissions?
Anonymous asked: Okay I feel stupid asking this question, but are you? I assumed you were a girl I suppose because most artists on tumblr seem to be, but I thought I should ask. Hope I don't seem rude.

Thinking about it is kind of scary so i’m just going to make a list and go through it one thing at a time.
There might be a bit of delay in commissions :< If you’re worried / curious about where you are in terms of progress, drop me a note either here or on DA.

Hey now, don’t be like that.
Btw, steph and I are a ‘thing’ now, sorry.
I assume that when you mean ‘steph’ you actually mean ‘hunter’. Or, maybe, I was actually steph…
I SAID JUST A LITTLE.

I have made a tumblr portfolio since blogspot decided it wanted to destroy my life. If you’re interested in strictly portfolio uploads, or are just curious what my portfolio looks like, you can check it out here. It doesn’t get updated very often as it’s mostly for clients and job interviews :>

So do you just repeatedly retrace the lines and then clean up afterwards? I’ve been using it for lineart, too, since you suggested it, but only for thin ones that hold the shapes together when I color it in afterwards.
Um, nope! It usually takes only one or two strokes to get the line. I find it really...
tenebrific asked: Hi! I know you just answered a question about brushes, but I was wondering what brush you use when doing the final linework? The Stumpy Pencil brush is great for sketching, but it doesn't look like you're using it for the final images because it's too textured. I really love how clean and smooth your linework is, mine always seems to turn out way too jittery.

ask-disciple-kyouko asked: Since you seem to get questions about professional art business pretty often... I need to set up commissions myself and figure out how much I want to charge for them. One thing I've seen in a lot of commission info sheets is that artists will charge less for additional characters after the first, but I wonder why? An additional character takes just as much work as the first, doesn't it?...

Anonymous asked: I know you've mentioned this before, but what brush do you mainly use? I vaguely remember you saying like stubby pencil or stubbly something. No clue. Also, if it isn't a standard brush, where can I download it? Thanks! :)

Anonymous asked: How do you vary the faces in your drawings so well and consistently? All of your sketches of Dom are so well composed, but I think if I tried to draw the same character that many times it wouldn't look the same.

abakkus asked: Hi! I had a question re: commercial commissions, since you seem to be knowledgeable in that field. I've always done personal commissions, but I was recently approached about a possible commercial commission, and I'm not really sure how to approach it re: pricing and rights? I've noticed other artists talking about changed prices to give the commissioner the right to redistribute,...

What did I get myself into? →
My eyes flutter open to a brilliant orange and yellow sky. Finch sits beside me, chewing on a long piece of grass as he looks out into the distance. My heart jumps into my throat and I scramble away from him, wincing as the pain in my shoulder flares. I grasp at the wound, shallow breaths trickling from my chapped lips as Finch and I look at each other. After a few seconds, he stands and shakes...

Anonymous asked: Hi Hunter! I was just tackling the idea of starting a brand new sketchbook (gulp) and I wondered, how do you do it? For your projects especially, do you try to keep certain parts in certain books? Do you even order your sketchbooks at all? Also how many do you have on the go at the moment 'cause I'm curious! Cheers. :>

Anonymous asked: I was wondering if I could bother you with my problems, as I really look up to you as an artist. I just got my first commission and I was excited, as the guy wants me to draw my favorite thing - sexy men. It turns out though that he wants these guys (real celebrities) drawn as blow-up sex dolls. I don't want to turn down my one and only commission, but I don't really want to draw it...

silverfoxin asked: It always tickles me pink whenever I see you draw Zelda art. ;D I love all of your work, but there's definitely a sense of nostalgia that you always catch there specifically. Since you're a fan, I gotta ask - have you played Majora's Mask, and if so, what are your thoughts there?

thisismymoon answered your question: Anyone know any Romani tumblrs?
maybe you should do your own research instead of bugging roma people about it?
Going to the source of the information is probably the best way to get accurate accounts of things, and is a form of research. I am by no means ‘bugging roma people’ about it, this has been posted on my personal blog for people to...

Actually. in Spain roman people proudly call themselves “gitanos”, which is traslate in English as “gypsy”. And that is why none complain about Shakira’s song “Gitana”. The first time I hear about “Gypsy as racist slur was here Tumblr.
Interesting! This is why I commented earlier that I thought it depended on the...

Anyone know any Romani tumblrs?
As has been suggested by a few people (a suggestion that i think is a good one) I would love to find some tumblrs run by Roma / Romani, so I can ask them personally about their thoughts on not only the word Gypsy but its blanket-term use in fantasy and fiction.
SO uh! Leave a comment with any tumblrs you recommend.
edit: It’s totally alright if you don’t want to point anyone out...

ignore replied to your photo: Conner and Arabesque, two con-artist-gypsy-foxes….
Just to let you know, “gypsy” is considered a slur by Romani people. Perhaps there is another word you could use? Travellers, maybe?
This seems to depend on the people, region / area, country, etc. I did a bit of reading (because I certainly wouldn’t want to be using racist terms to describe...
