Emergency Commissions: UPDATE

Posted by Sabtastic - June 8th, 2014

Update: Aug 1st:

SHIT FUCK IT'S AUGUST WHEN DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN

I'm side-tracked prepping for comic cons - it's artist alley season so I'm trying to meet old deadlines at the moment. The linework is all finished for the artwork now - it's been done for a few weeks, but I haven't had a chance to sit down and shade them yet. x__x Really sorry dudes!!

Update: July 15th:

I have internet at home finally!! Weeee! :D
Commissions will be done any day now. Thanks everybody for your patience and support.

Update: July 12th:

(I'm posting this from work SHHH.)
I moved out of my old apartment! Moving took a couple days, but I'm getting internet at my new place on Monday the 14th! Couldn't have them set it up any sooner, so I've just been chugging away at commissions without referenes/internet in the meantime. Sorry for the hold-up! I'd say they're all really coming along nicely. Only 3 more left to finish out of .... 13 or so! Oh! And I exchanged my cintiq for a new, not broken one! Just finished re-installing all my art programs and brushes.

Update: Jun 18th:

Chipping away at the last half of the commissions! Line art is always the longest stage of the process and I'm really having fun with the designs so far, so I wanna make them all look really good! c: ... On a side note, I had my brand new Cintiq Companion blue-screen on me the other day, and now it won't charge properly. :c That set me back a day or two, so I'm moving all of my art over to my home tablet now.

Just wanted to let you know in case you're dying to see your artwork!! I'll post it all at once when it's done. c:

Update: Jun 10th:

Tuesday: Making good progress on the commissions! They are ALL sketched and just waiting to get inked. I can't believe the positive response and support I'm getting from you guys. Thank you SO much for everything -- even if you couldn't donate, just the thought that your support can get me through tough times like this means the world to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'll keep you all updated on the situation and will have some new art for you soon!!

EDIT: Jun 8th:

Slots filled for now. Huge thanks to everybody for the support and donations. Don't worry; I'm okay.

Hey guys;

I'm in a pretty sticky situation right now and I need cash quick; check out my Tumblr if you've got some cash to spare to help me out.

[ Emergency Commissions ]

TL;DR; I'm an idiot and I need an adult. Help.

Damn, you make it sound pretty drastic.

Too bad I'm also an idiot, so I can't help you out :c

Sabtastic 2014-06-08 20:06:54

Sorry, I'm just really nervous about all of this. I've never been in an accident before and everyone's making it sound like it's going to cost a f*ck-ton of money.. Money that I definitely don't have right now. :C

Lionelion 2014-06-08 21:22:51

I dont has a tumblr. Can i commission you some other way?

Sabtastic 2014-06-08 21:22:51

you can still e-mail me but the spots are filling up quick..!

my paypal is the same as my e-mail address: sab0d@hotmail.com

VicariousE 2014-06-08 22:03:02

Just sent you a nice fat commish, take your time if you like, hope things settle down soon!

Sabtastic 2014-06-08 22:03:02

Thanks a million Steve.
Starting now!

arghjustkillme 2014-06-08 22:11:35

Running in a gorilla suit can't fix this one?

Sabtastic 2014-06-08 22:11:35

'Fraid not. :(

SimplyRobot 2014-06-08 22:29:00

I have a client that needs "taken on vacation" if you want some real money.

Sabtastic 2014-06-08 22:29:00

You wants I should sends 'em to Belize, bawss?

bigjonny13 2014-06-08 22:30:18

Hope you're doing okay Sabs, collisions are not fun :C
I got into a 540 spin out on the highway during a blizzard myself this past February, wasn't enjoyable.

Sabtastic 2014-06-08 22:30:18

Doing okay; just super nervous. Never had to deal with any kind of accident before and I have to foot the bill for repairs for the lady I hit because I buy really cheap insurance... :c

Also yikes!! I hope you and your car were okay! o_o

ZJ 2014-06-08 22:47:38

Dang it. I missed it!

Sabtastic 2014-06-08 22:47:38

No worries man.

Hah I was gonna be like "Next time~!" But then I realized how bad that might jynx things. haha

bocodamondo 2014-06-08 22:54:55

if i could send money online i would commission you
oh well, glad you got all slots full ^^

Sabtastic 2014-06-08 22:54:55

No problemo man! You're awesome and you're always supporting my stuff and that's what counts.

Pene 2014-06-09 04:37:43

Awww C: you're awesome bae
Love you so much boo dont let them get to you always stay true to your dreams <3

Sabtastic 2014-06-09 04:37:43

Thanks dude. :c

lol I'll stay true to my dreams of never ever getting into another collision again in my life.

DrSevenSeizeMD 2014-06-09 13:06:25

Very glad you are ok!!! Was your vehicle totaled? Hollar at us girl if you are still struggling, we can do a bake sale or something else if we need to!!! I will bake cookies for Sab!!!

Sabtastic 2014-06-09 13:06:25 (Updated 2014-06-09 13:36:53)

Nah; it's not totaled. We're all okay thankfully. I just have to bare the mark/dent of shame on my passenger side door now. hah

Thanks for the kind sentiments! The Newgrounds community is always good for that kind of stuff. YOU GUYS+GALS ARE DA BESS. C:

YoutubeIsawesome 2014-06-09 21:44:05

I wouldn't of paid but it seems people helped

what did you do

Sabtastic 2014-06-09 21:44:05

That's fine! You don't HAVE to send money. P:

I've been getting an overwhelmingly positive response for the emergency commissions -- it's really heartwarming.. People keep sending donations without wanting art in return because I already have so many commissions to do -- but I want to try and make sure that everyone gets a little something in the end.

What I did was get into a collision in my car -- my first crash.. <:C
Normally I would deal with this on my own, but I'm moving in July to a new place, and all my money is going to that. I have NO savings right now.
I feel horrible though - the accident was entirely my fault and it happened in a really dumb way. I'm still waiting to hear back about autobody repair costs from the lady whose van I hit.

frass70 2014-06-10 02:17:34

sounds scary ! but it looks like everything is working itself out art saves the day

Sabtastic 2014-06-10 02:17:34

It was pretty scary, yeah. x_x
Not the accident itself, but the angry stares I got from people driving by after it happened. Meeting the lady whose car I hit was the worst part. I felt like garbage... It was so embarrassing. <:(

It's definitely a relief that I can fall back on art when all else fails.
Now if I ever become homeless I can sell caricatures or something for beer money. lol

VicariousE 2014-06-14 01:00:58

Do you have any bad boys in your portfolio? I'm sure you must :3

Sabtastic 2014-06-14 01:00:58

I just replied to their post -- thanks for the heads up on this! It's actually just what I need to build my portfolio a bit more. c:

VicariousE 2014-06-16 13:19:06

\/ What the heck did you say?! I usually just complain about the lack of secrets... or bewilder folk :|

Sabtastic 2014-06-16 13:19:06

lol I just wrote "PASHOOOOOOOOOOW!" in all caps and made it fill the text box on the frontpage so it took up the whole width of the screen.

Danluz 2014-06-17 18:17:43

If you need cash, then go get a job. Or just sell your artwork to people. If that doesn't help, well you could just keep doing the emergency commissions. Sorry that your running low on cash :/

Sabtastic 2014-06-17 18:17:43 (Updated 2014-06-17 19:33:52)

lol I have a job. I work as a desk clerk for the city.
Art's just my side-job right now for when I need some extra dough on the side.
THNKS THO.

Danluz 2014-06-24 10:30:48

Ha good luck on getting money. I know that you WILL earn a lot of money sooner or later and you are going to be more successful then you are today. But for now draw and draw and work and work! You draw real great :) hoped this helped. If not, well at least I tried.

VicariousE 2014-06-29 11:12:32

Plenty busy, from the look of your dA posts, hope you're staying calm in this protracted storm :)

Sabtastic 2014-06-29 11:12:32

No doubt!

Ugh; I was really hoping to be done these commissions sooner. I finished yours btw..! Just wanna post them all at once.

VicariousE 2014-07-16 19:57:36

Over dozen commissions? Damn. Has everything settled down from the accident yet?

Sabtastic 2014-07-16 19:57:36

It's settled down a lot now, yeah. The last thing left to do is to take my car in for an estimate. The lady got back to me about the cost of the damage btw --! It was waaaaay more than I guessed... Almost double the amount of my 'worst case scenario just replacing the whole bumper' damage estimate. x___x

Ah well.

Your commission's lines are all finished if you want a preview btw! c:

VicariousE 2014-07-16 20:56:57

I'm so sorry to hear the cost was that much higher than expected... hope she isn't getting kickback money, and it's all legit. Nah, I trust your lines... I'm about ready to scrap my little Chevy :( I had to hold onto it, till after everything got settled with her insurance company :p

VicariousE 2014-08-05 01:04:52

More than one comic-con? I don't have a problem with waiting a little longer, do what you can to hustle up some dough!

Sabtastic 2014-08-05 01:04:52

Yeah x_x
I just finished one, but there's another this weekend and two in September!

I should have more time on the 10th. Heck, I might even be able to finish the commissions at the Comic Con since I've got a helper this time!
