My Rat Drawings

[Shelley]

Thankyou very much everyone I haven't had much of a chance to actually sit down and work until this afternoon. Just too much going on, but I hope to start working on more pictures.

Anyway, here's two other examples, the first one is older, but the portrait is from the Spring. Portrait's are fun, Gives me a chance to work more detail into the face since you don't lose it when resizing.

And the new sketch for today, Luke!

I'm having fun playing around.. It's actually a challenge sometim

These are really really good. I like how you can capture so much life in their eyes. 8)

OMG shelly, those pictures are amazing!! Would it be cheeky to ask for one of my rat who died?x

 

[Shelley]

My rat George in a magical land of Mushrooms. Lol, needed to destress.

I'm probably going to set up a little website or thread on Goosemoose about getting a picture done. I just don't know how much I should ask for, as it really depends on how long it takes me to finish, amount of detail or complexity, etc.

 

[jorats]

Sweet!! maybe she'll find the smurfs. :lol:

Will you be able to have them on paper or canvas?

 

[Shelley]

I have a ton of possibilities for printing, it mainly depends on pricing and how the colour/detail picks up. I really like glossy for digital work, but matte doesn't get shines when hanging. I know I can get it on canvas papers, but I'll have to visit the print shop and see what the price/quality is.

 

[Shelley]

Yikes! Canvas is very pricey, so I'll have to exclude that as a possibility. Prints (glossy or matte) done at Letter or Legal sized are very affordable though, costing under $2. My main concern is in shipping, but I'm sure with an envelope and some cardboard to keep it more rigid it shouldn't be a problem, and hopefully be fairly inexpensive. I'm looking into the possibility of customized gifts, such as mouse pads or coffee cups. I just have to price shop some more.

I also have the possibility of printing onto magnet paper. I have a photo quality printer and laminater at home, so I'll see what I can come up with If I could find cheap picture frames, that would be really nice (as I need some anyway!).

I have no problem just paying for the high resolution tif? or whatever image that I can just take on a CD to a local print shop.

 

[RATACHEWY]

Id like to know what your price is for a piccy of my rat doing some kind of adventurous thing, just emailed to me or sent on a disc and ill get it printed here. x

 

[Melissa]

Wow, they really are wonderful!

 

[domesticflowergirl]

I just loved looking at all the Drawings/Sketches you made...are you any good at writing Stories etc??? With such wonderful drawings/sketches you could write a Story Book with your drawings & am sure that it would be a "Best Seller" for sure :lol:
