Hey there,

Just doing a small update. I've been sort of preoccupied with real life affairs lately, so I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on things. I'm currently working on a private commission and then, hopefully I'll be able to take several more. I'm not sure how long it will be. Unfortunately in my manner of drawing, it usually takes an extended period with many tries before I can get my sketches the way I want them. Anyone who's commissioned me can attest to that I take a while to finish them. I apologize for this, but it's just the way my process goes. Thankfully, everyone has been very understanding with me. Unfortunately it seems to take even longer when I'm more distracted by personal engagements outside of this account. But I'll continue to try and do my best with what I'm commissioned to do.

I don't know how much art outside of commissions I'll have time for though. Hahahah. The inspiration may come, but sometimes I'm just not able to oblige.

At any rate, I hope everyone can still enjoy the things I post when I'm able. I do appreciate very much all the comments and favorites, even if I'm not able to respond to every one of them.

I thought I might update everyone here with some goings on I've managed to observe recently on the Unending BE Addventure. Someone recently started an Avatar thread in the "Hermpire" tradition of things. It probably isn't for everyone, but it start here: [link] if anyone's interested in reading or contributing.

More recently, a fellow named Cruton started a thread called "Sokka's Wand" in which Sokka finds a magic wand. It's gotten a couple of responses so far, but is still in the early stages. There seems to be a lot of potential waiting to be tapped there. Hopefully others will add to it. If I have time, I'll see if I can contribute a bit myself. It's been a while. Hahah. It's the first thread I've seen that particularly focuses on the "Avatar Gang," as opposed to other characters. The thread is here: [link]

Some of you may be familiar with here on dA. He recently started an interesting thread with a lot of potential called "The Magical Alley." It consists of characters from various universes converging in an alley full of magical shops whose specialties vary greatly. There has been a lot of stuff written so far and it's proving quite popular. It's here if you'd like to read or contribute: [link] feel free to read and contribute if you feel inspired. Thanks for starting this one Dragon Fang!

As before, there are threads for Naruto transformations starting here: [link] and the Avatar Transformed line I started a while ago here: [link] Both have gotten quite a few excellent additions by an array of authors, but of course there's always room for more. Both continually intrigue me.

If anyone wants to keep up with episodes that are posted in the Unending BE Addventure from day to day, the easiest way is to visit here: [link] You can click on the day whose episodes you want to view, and you can see which episodes are posted every day. The episodes posted appear every hour on the hour. Hope this helps people who didn't know about it prior. It's the easiest way to keep up with the Addventure.

I'm still open for commissions. They may take a little while to get through, as there are several people lined up currently, but please do feel free to note me or post a comment if you're interested. My rates are as follows:

Rates:

Lineart:

Bust Shot: $10 dollars (+$7 for each additional character)

Half Body: (Upper Torso) $15 (+$10 for each additional character)

Full Body: $20 (+$15 for each additional character)

Colored Pictures:

Bust Shot: $20 (+15 for each additional character)

Half Body: (Upper Torso) $25 (+$20 for each additional character)

Full Body: $30 (+$25 for each additional character)

Backgrounds:

Depending on how complicated the background is, I'll charge more or less. Between $10 and $35 probably. If you want a simple single-color background or something, it will be at no extra charge. Just mention what you want in my note and I'll tell you what it will cost, if anything.

When you do make a payment, please send it to surakuraanon@yahoo.com.

This turned into a larger update than I intended. Hahah.

Cheers,

Sura
