David, I'm sorry to read that you lost her! We often don't know what happened, and they do sometimes die suddenly without any indication of illness. It is very frustrating. Since she never laid an egg, and that was the reason you got her, please see me at POOPS and we'll see if I have something you like and I'll replace her.

It took me a minute and reading another post to figure out "wingdanger" lol lol lol

@Chickenfan4life was this " I cant do backgrounds, and expressions, and poses/character features, to answer your question." a typo? Seems that would be ness. if doing commissioned art.

Let me say I am not an artist. My observation as a potential "client" they are all the same charactor, even the dragon looks like a slightly modified wolf dog. All the dogs are are same wolf dog. If I were buying art I can't imagine any reason I would buy cartoon art, but that is probably me. I agree w/ Robin, if your doing cartoon work you should lean more towards caricature.

You may see ribbon b/c you knew what you were drawing, however, everything about that including the color states rope. If you asked 100 strangers what that was I bet they would all say rope.

It seems I made a typo. D= No, I can do shading of several styles, as well as full backgrounds. I just don't do it as much as I probably should.

As for the same thing, I have been practicing introducing different character traits into my artwork, but with the kinds of commission I would be doing, it is a more or less self-developed animated style of animals.


So, with art commissions, the person wouldn't be buying a drawing I've already done, they would be buying a drawing to be done for them of their specific preference, with their character(s). I know a person who is predominately a wolf artist and she makes quite a bit off of commissions just because of her talent.

I am working on expanding my talents to different animals, working on herbivores and such.

As for the dragon, I have to disagree, as the anatomic structure does not match that of a canine. The head may slightly, but not the anatomy.

LOL the wingdinger comment had me laughing after I figured it out too..... but hey its a sheath so it's not an actual wingdinger.

I thought this was digital art. Is it hand drawn then scanned in and edited on a computer or created solely on a computer?

Lol this is an interesting convo

It is hand sketched and scanned, yes, but my other examples are all digital drawn entirely.

We just hatched our first chicks from an incubator. All of them have done well so far except one little one. As we moved them from the incubator I noticed his toes were curled. I put him with the others and he is unable to walk very well. When he tries to stand up his toes curl in and he falls over. Does anyone have any suggestions what to do for him? Thanks

You will probably get lots of input on this. I have never had to do this before but have seen advice on it. You would make him some kind of snow shoe. Either out of a bandaid alone, or maybe with a piece of Dixie cup or popsicle stick (though that seems to be kind of heavy).

You might also do a search in the hatching or med thread re 'curled toes'.

Good luck!

We bought some chicks last year and didn't notice their toes were like this until afterward. They were silkies and all able to walk but the wonky toes made them very wobbly and it was difficult for them to scratch. Both of the ones with wonky toes ended up being roosters so we gave them away to a lady who just wanted them as pets on her farm after they started crowing.

It is cool that we can have all kinds of conversations around here!

How is your leg doing, Hannah? Did they give a time frame for when the swelling should start to go down?

No real input regarding the art...but I am wondering if you wanted to get more exposure or experience or whatever, have you ever considered doing some renderings of your rescue dogs? Maybe as a promotional tool or something to give to the adopter? It wouldn't really make you money now, but the exposure might help.

That wasn't actually helpful.. sorry.

If you catch this now (at hatch), it should be very fixable!

2 types of commissions actually, I do alot of Guinea art and am asked just for the subject, and often sell prints, then you have people that want their special pet- so you actually branch out- basic guinea art-



pet portraits




something you might think of doing is miniature art, your style should sell well, they are called ACEO's, and real popular.
