August 4th Edit:
$5 SKETCH COMMISSIONS ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN! YAIII! But, before you do anything, read the new and improved guidelines (I added a few more):
-Send me a note about your commission! The absolute first thing you do. Be sure to specify what it is you want
drawn and, please, send some references of the characters. It would help me out a lot
-I only accept PayPal, no DeviantArt points. I'll send you my Paypal address as a reply to your note, so you can send the $5
-I don't start sketching until payment has been submitted Don't worry, I'm not going to rob you, you have my word
-You can have up to three characters on a page; You can choose between one full body character shot, two characters from the waist up or three characters chest up. No Backgrounds, unfortunately
-There will be 5 sketch commission slots per round; One commission per round, please. I want everyone to have the chance to get a slot.
-I'm willing to do nude pics, though no pornography (For now, that might change later since I'm setting up a Hentai Foundry account)
-Forewarning, if your requesting a weird fetish, I might deny it. Sorry

Thanks you all for your time! Today's contest will be posted later today.
-Mike Southmoor

Told you I'd be back! I'M NOT LEAVING FOR TWO MONTHS AGAIN!
Anyway, as you guys may (or may not :( ) have noticed, I've been MIA for quite awhile. I might as well explain what's been happening over at the Southmoor homestead. You see, these many months have left me with a lot of personal problems. To give you the super short version, my brother had a terminal stomach disease and has recovered(Thank God), my computer was infested with a virus for a short period of time, I had to buy the latest version of Flash (due to the virus), been working non-stop, applying for colleges out of state (I'm probably gonna go to SCAD), and finally (here's the biggie) I needed to replace my wireless adapter that just straight up died. But, as of now, I'm be back in business! There should be no more problems.

As much as it feels great to be back with you all, I'm afraid I'm going to have to make a few changes around here (Mostly good changes, though). Firstly, I'm strongly considering removing color commissions off the charts. Little known fact, vector artwork takes me a long time to create; it also doesn't help when you've got a slow computer and Adobe Flash as your only art tool. So, I'm removing a lot of the commission options from my current list. :( I know it's sad.
However, I'm introducing a new commission option that'll only cost you $5 ! :iconsaywhaplz: "A-WHHHUUUUUUU, NO WAI!" Alright, calm down, random yellow-faced pedestrian...Yep, go ahead and take a look at the newly improved sketch commissions!

Yesiree Bob-aroony, all you need to do is pay $5 and you can request you're own sketches. These sketch commissions will officially open up this Saturday, so you'll have time to think about what you want sketched. When the time comes, send me a note if your interested. The basic guild-lines are:
-You can have up to three characters on a page
-There will be 5 sketch commission slots per round; if the round is full, you'll have to wait for another round to open up
-I only accept PayPal, no DeviantArt points
-I'm willing to do nude pics, though no pornography (For now, that might change later)
-Note me if your requesting a weird fetish. I might deny it

I usually get a sketch done pretty quickly depending on how complicated the characters are. I figured it would make a lot of people happier if they're produced at a faster rate. As for the original commission options, they'll come back at a later date. I'd like to see how well the sketch commissions go.

The next change I'd like to bring to the table is...start a series of periodical contests! Sounds fun right! I've always wanted to do this, mainly to see what you guys can do in terms of artwork/writing. Each contest will be slightly different than the last, and that goes for prizes too(free requests and free animation segments to name a few)! The first contest will announced this Saturday, so stay sharp and keep and eye on this journal.

I think that's all I have to say for now! Keep on keepin' on, folks!

-Mike Southmoor

I honestly thought my original rules for sketch commissions were a little clustered, so I gave them a reboot. What was your free sketch commish?

OK HERES THE DETAILS FROM THAT NOTE:


"Can I have a little drawing request? If so, can I have a drawing of me with my thumbs up doing an awesome face? (here's a ref of me: [link]) Can you do it in the style you use for Christian's Life? xD "
