A FEW GUIDELINES BEFORE EXAMPLE HELL
Is there a limit on how many icons you'll do? Not particularly! Pre-colored (anime/LA/vidya) icons go pretty quick so I'll not put a limit on those, but for colored manga/doujin icons, I'll probably set a limit of 30. You can always request another batch after I finish the first! I just don't want to get too deep into commission hell and let people down by taking too long.
When can I expect these by? I will get to commissions ASAP, but I do work a fairly physically-demanding full time job and am slowly but surely remodeling my home, so there's usually only a couple days a week I can work on things. It might be within a few days, it might be within a couple weeks, but I'll definitely give you a good idea when I reply or shoot you a PM to let you know if there's any delays! Just let me know if there's any deadlines, i.e: I'm apping this character to a game and need icons within a week, etc.
Do you take DW points as payment? I might in the future, but as of now, unfortunately not!
Do I need to provide all the images or do you have a secret vault of amazing quality sources? Are there quality restrictions? I do not have a secret vault of amazing quality sources, where did you hear that sort of nonsense? Ah? (Please do provide the best quality you can find! I might be able to dig up some good quality manga RAWs if you need help, but generally I won't go searching for things!) The better quality images / larger images you can provide, the better the final product! But I can also work on previously-cropped bases and such. For manga: batoto.net , kissmanga.com , mangahelpers.com (RAWs available sometimes) are your best friends! Sometimes just searching "mangatitle chapter# raws" will turn up some good shit too. Please don't crop images beyond selecting a panel you want; the end result will be better if you aren't resizing anything!
Will I get a preview before filling your bank account with them dolla dolla bills? Absolutely! I'll send one or two samples to make sure you like the colors / styling before I really get down to the hot n heavy work.
How should I send you images? Uploading everything in a .zip or a .rar to google drive, box.net, or attached to an e-mail to gaucches (AT) gmail.com (include the journal name you've commented with please!) is preferable! Imgur sometimes compresses images or makes reds ugly and photobucket is a straight up nightmare so don't do that thing if you want sexy lovely graphics!
I'll take payment BEFORE the project is complete! I'll do a couple samples to make sure everything is fine before payment, then the finished project will come back to you likely zipped up through google drive unless you prefer otherwise. c:

IT'S TIME... IT'S TIME...! IT'S TIME!! EXAMPLE HELL

ANIME ICONS

SOME MORE INFO
I default to brighter / lighter colors but can emulate different styles if you want to match to another set you've had done!
No source is too dark!! ...Usually. Try me out and I'll do my best!

VIDEO GAME ICONS

SOME MORE INFO
See here is what I mean by "original quality = quality of what you get", man. Look at icon #4 from the last story... don't cap shit off the wii, kids. You'll always regret it!!
Since video game capture quality varies so greatly, so too might the icons you'll get. I usually find 720p videos from youtube, rip them, and screencap those to the best of my ability. It's done me all right so far! (Unless it's wii games. Seriously. You're screwed, friend.)
Pixel stuff is fine too! I'm not as experienced with it but I'll definitely do my best. The World Ends With You had really jagged lines that I smoothed out manually, and those came out pretty all right!

MANGA BASES / COLORING

SOME MORE INFO
CLEANING: I have a tablet and oodles of experience with manga editing, so removing tones / backgrounds / redrawing where speech bubbles have interrupted the art is not a problem at all. I'll always do my best to leave bases as clean as possible (here is a whole post of bases for examples) unless you specify otherwise / want to leave in some speech bubbles or sound effects or anything! Please let me know. c:
In most of my posted bases I've slapped grey layers on or really faint texture, but this is completely optional! It just added a bit of finished flair since I very rarely went back and colored icons for myself, whoops.
COLORING: I'm no artist by any means so I don't have a whole lot of styles and I don't feel I can pull off flats very well, but I'm always willing to try if it's what you want! The same is true from my anime icons explanation that my preferred palettes are lighter/brighter colors but I can do others as well. Color, at least, I feel confident with! I can do monochromes with pops of color, earthier/jewel tones, pastels, etc. I just shade by default so my price includes shading, but if you want flats, it will still likely be the same price since it will probably require more effort/time on my part to get it right, oddly enough! :c I'm sorry!

MANGA EDITING / COLORING

SOME MORE INFO
Why did anyone ever let me typeset... that's just asking 4 trouble. RIGHT CLICK > OPEN IMAGE IN NEW TAB THESE SUCKERS.
EDITING: I've been a manga editor for well over ten years now, and have worked on projects such as D.Gray-Man, Gintama, Di[e]ce, Karneval, Hunter X Hunter, Eyeshield 21, Team Medical Dragon, and so on. I've trained teams and can do just about anything that needs doing short of re-toning entire projects, if only because I don't have tones downloaded anymore! I can redraw, smooth tones, edit out SFX and so on, and I'd be more than willing to help with any projects you may want to take on! Or if you just want a few pages cleaned up for graphics, that's fine as well. c: ( NSFW another before & after sample)
COLORING: Again, I'm no artist. I only have one recent example of a full-sized panel I colored and it was honestly just dicking around with a technique to color hair I was streaming as an example, but if it's what you want and you want to pay me for my work/style, I'll certainly try!

Tell me about your commission request! Please comment to this thread with the following form:

COMMISSIONER : Ash &

nipponpon (or this journal)
CHARACTER : Zelos Wilder & Tales of Symphonia
IMAGES : BOOP
DETAILS : We discussed a lot down in the questions thread! Basically I love the way you did the flats with the tone, and using that color scheme. As for speech bubbles, I'm honestly fine with you just leaving them there so don't worry about redrawing anything! As far as any other details for what you might have to do, I know the symphonia manga goes crazy in quality so feel free to price this with whatever you might need to do to make them all nice. (Also tell me if any of these won't crop right for an icon!)

UHH I THINK THAT'S IT. Let me know how much all of these would be with all of that! ♥

I snagged these and will poke around with crops and see what the final count is probably tomorrow night! c: And if I don't start tomorrow, I probably will Monday night!

Sounds great!! Just as a warning, if it is on monday (or any week day) I'll probably reply to it pretty late!

FINALLY A DAY OFF HAS ARRIVED!!! I got the chance to poke through and crop the frames down and get an idea of how they'll frame up as an icon, so all 30 of these are workable and I'll get started here in a bit! I really doubt any problems will come up with these so it'll just be a straight $60 right over here. c:

yayyy! okay, sorry, I was at work! I'm heading over to do that right now!

Hey! I don't want to make it sound like I'm rushing since I know you said it could take a while, but I just thought I'd ask and see if you had an estimate of when they'd be done?

You're totally fine darling! I'm a bit over halfway done (boop) but I've been working a lot so I'm only squeezing in a few a night. I'll probably be finished on Thursday when I have a day off again! c: I hope that's all right! I meant to check in earlier and let you know I was busy and show you progress, I apologize.

yells excitedly DON'T EVEN WORRY, but oh boy, thanks so much for the update!! and that preview, how cute ;3;

YOU'RE MOST WELCOME! it's been a lot of fun coloring him (and I noticed tales of symphonia has a pc port on steam now and I'm just quietly pining for that hideousness again) and I'm saving all the PSDs before cropping so if we wanna shift things around we def can c: if there were any panels you wanted more focus on his expressions or body language or anything. I'll go over it with you when they're all done!

GREAT I will wait excitedly, no worries!! (but ahhh yes I have the PC port myself even if I haven't had a chance to play much of it, do it do it relive your past)

I need to stop mentioning deadlines because I jinx myself and end up working instead SOBS QUIETLY but we're all finished! zoop you ended up with 41 with alternate crops and I think I did alts of everything that allowed them, so you have full choice! c: Included in the batch is always the swatch & base PSD to allow for future style mimicking. I hope you like them!

OH GOSH thank you so much!! I'm going to relax and go peek at these and upload them now, thanks a ton you've been great!!

QUESTIONS
Want to know if I'll take a commission for something not quite listed above? Want to see some more examples / have me work up a sample for you before deciding to go the full monte? Let me know here!

creeps in here... hello!! I have no idea if this question will make sense because what is making icons, but! all of the icons I have by user moxies I really enjoy the color palette of (except the tiny thing of the eyes being slightly too purple instead of blue), so I'm wondering if that's a palette you could enjoy working with! I don't mind if there's shading or not really, I just want more zelos faces but with the same sort of color-feel to them...!

if you're down for it I'm leaning towards getting a decent amount of icons, but I just want to make sure they'd fit in how I imagine and you wouldn't have too much trouble with working with those colors!

Hello! Oh my goodness, what a fun palette for Zelos! I could definitely match to that and do the eyes a little bluer. :) I could go flats and match to the set you already have and that wouldn't be a problem at all, but I do positively adore coloring red hair and could do shading + base cleanup if you'd like as well! If you have a base handy I can mock up a sample for you in both a little later in the day and see if you'd like to go ahead with a full commission. Just shoot one over and let me know!

Ahhh that would be great! I'd love to see how the shading looked with everything! The Tales of Symphonia manga has a bunch of weird stuff going on so if it's easier to just try one way and check with me that is totally fine, I really appreciate you doing this! For the sample (that I'd include in the full batch if that's okay) it would be this second panel here! Once I do the actual full request I will send them zipped like you ask, but I hope that works for now!

Pre-cropping, I think I've got it as close as I can! Here's one version without tone in his hair, and two with the tone! Which is similar to the original set you have. Eye color is just thrown on for now since it's One of THOSE Faces but I will fine tune it more on others. I might need to slap a warming color skewing layer on top once it's iconed— aaaand yep that seems to have done the trick! Taking out the tone actually makes the hair look too different since more of it is bright HAHA OOPS...

WOW DISREGARD THIS I FORGOT I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU A SEPARATE SAMPLE OF SHADING AND STUFF I WILL EDIT THAT GUY IN HERE SHHHHHHHHH leaps away into the bushes

Edited 2016-04-20 07:57 (UTC)

Ahhh well I already love how that sample turned out, so if you haven't gotten to it I won't want to trouble you to shade!!!

All right! I was just sitting down to work on commissions stuff (I have another project that was casual through a friend) so I haven't yet, but if that will suit! I definitely understand wanting to keep a cohesive theme for icon sets!

If there are any by moxies you'd like redrawn / touched up since I noticed a lot of background patterns and text bubbles in them, feel free to toss those in too if you'd like! A couple might exceed my non-artistic abilities but I can certainly try. >:T

Oooh I will definitely consider that!! For now I'm going to gather a whole bunch of them and then I'll hop over to the commissions spot either later tonight or tomorrow, if that's okay!!

Yeah no rush at all! Take yo time friend. c: I have a pretty busy work schedule coming up next week but I'll be poking at the project when I can.

ONE LAST QUESTION since I don't want to misunderstand, when I gather these pictures I want do you want me to just have the full manga page (like I linked up there) and specify the panel, or just crop the specific panel I want? I can do either!! I'll end up taking a little while either way.

You don't need to crop them! Just specifying like "middle left" "top right" etc on panes is fine. c:
