Commission an Artist Today!

So, I am on Tumblr and have found there to be a wonderful artists community who are drawing and creating and making such wonderful art. Every so often I kept seeing artist commission posts crossing my dashboard announcing them open for commissions and their art levels and pricing structures. I was curious, though my shyness kept me from contacting any for a while. Finally, when I saw art that I really liked I buckled down and shot off a query email.

After some discussion, some pleasant conversation, and after payment, I received my first piece, and was delighted. The character is Thorin from The Hobbit. Piece by InjuredDreams.

Recently I reached out again and was completely amazed at the art sent to me. I asked for "a woman riding a rhino, but just kind of lazily laying across its back while it grazes, a summer afternoon kind of vibe." These are the two sketches I received:

I KNOW RIGHT!!!! It just... they just make me smile so much. They were perfect. So I gave the go ahead to finish both of them, because I couldn't decide between the two and needed both in my life. I paid via PayPal and a few days later she emailed me the final pieces...

HOLY CARP Y'ALL, THIS I HAPPINESS IN COLORS AND LINES. They are not only my desktop backgrounds for my computer but also my wallpaper for my phone and tablet. I am just so pleased with these. I want to shout praises from the rooftops and invite others to contact her if they too want epic art. These are created digitally, but there is no reason I couldn't have them printed and framed. She's very reasonably priced and worth every damn penny. Here is her Tumblr - JuliaLost - Check her out!!!  Oh, here is her Commission info.

p.s. I needs that blue hair, I needs it bad.

    I'm a zoo keeper. I currently work with Rhinos and it is awesome.

    These are my random observations about the world...and I do mean random.  I write about what catches my interest and my imagination. 

    Just as a note: There is the possibility of the occasional curse word. I will not overuse - but those words have power when carefully placed.

To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams. ::: Giorgio de Chirico :::
