I've gotten many questions regarding these topics recently and so I figured I'd make a journal entry that would address all of these topics in one go.
Commissions
I promised myself that when someone showed interest in commissions from me, that I'd start making them public. If you're interested in a commission, send me a note. I accept PayPal and personal checks, although with PayPal you don't need to wait a round for junk to clear and get your drawing put up sooner.
If you want an AK-style character done, I can whip you up one for pennies. Granted, those pennies eventually turn into dollars, but pennies nonetheless. For a single AK-style character it will cost you:
-$15 for a black and white drawing
-$20 for a full-color drawing
Some examples:
More substantial, single characters that consist of more than primitive stick parts are a bit more:
-$25 for a black and white drawing
-$35 for a full-color drawing
Some examples:
Anything else, note me and we'll hammer it out. Also, I don't draw porn, and I reserve the right to turn down anything I don't feel comfortable drawing.
Fanart
Feel free to draw fanart of any of my characters, so long as they are appropriate (no sex or offensive stuff, please). I don't mind. Just remember to put the appropriate copyright information in your drawing. Also, let me know when you upload it so that I can see it.
A special note for Attention Whore fanart: Keep it PG-13ish. Even though she frequently goes naked/topless/etc., Attention Whore does not openly expose herself. What constitutes as "openly exposing" is a pretty nebulous idea, but when in doubt, note me.
Imitating My Style
Several people have asked me this in the past and recently. I don't mind if people imitate my style, BUT KNOW THIS: PLEASE explain that you're imitating my drawing style. It takes an artist a long time to perfect the unique way in which they draw; if you want to imitate MY style, I want people to know it.
This also protects you from anyone who might see your drawing and thinks you're plagiarizing me. See? I care about you guys.
Requests
People make suggestions all the time. I can't garauntee I'll actually draw them. Sorry. I'm a busy guy.
However, I do like to have contests where you win commissions from me, or have random journal entries granting the first XX posters a request, so keep those eyes peeled.
I hope that answers the big questions. Let me know if anything else comes up.

Hopefully Not Gone, Hopefully Not Forgotten
I've been absent from DA for many, many months. I haven't uploaded anything here recently, and I haven't even logged in until this morning. Maybe that will change, maybe it won't; I haven't really made any decisions about that yet. I'm just busy. And tired. I haven't had a lot of motivation to draw. I used to do traditional art, but putting pencil to paper strains my fingers, hands, and wrists too much and has become physically painful. I've been drawing digitally now, but I'm such a newbie at the process that when I do draw, I'm rarely satisfied with the final product. I really liked the way my art looked in pencil and now I've got to find a way to be equally happy with my art in a new medium. It's tedious and frustrating and makes me not want to draw at all. Also DA just kind of sucks? It doesn't have an original thought in its collective, corporate body and latches onto whatever the latest trend is, and often several months behind the curve. It jumped on the monetization

Hey all you cool cats and kittens, AK here to check in with everybody. I hope you and your friends and families are doing well. :nod:
I know these are stressful times, but there's always room for humor. So here's a collection of medical-themed Ben & Winslow comics. :)

Christmas Shenanigans!
What's up, everyone? How's life? The year is winding to a close, but Christmas is just around the corner so I thought I would bombard you with some Christmas nostalgia. But the end of the year is also time for reflection, so I wanted to throw some questions at you. Feel free to answer as many as you like in the comments below.
1 - If you made any artwork this year, what was your favorite piece?
2 - What was the most interesting piece of art you saw here on DeviantArt this year?
3 - What are your plans for 2020? Any big goals or projects you're looking forward to working on?
4 - What do you want to see from me in 2020?
And now . . . comic
