Bab Pics

[Flowgli]

The idea of Thunderbolt being a nutritionist came from a few sets of screenshot captions I made, which centered around some Dalmatians in Dearly Farm eating too much junk food and gaining a lot of weight. And the idea of said sets came to me after seeing how healthy and fit Thunderbolt looks, and the dog food called Kanine Krunchies have been believed to be healthy for dogs and pups.

All very nice work, Bab. The Heartbreakers pic has to be my favorite, especially with Diana's grin.

[Trey_Vore]

Thanks again babclayman.

There's something I am working on that I hope you will like.

[babclayman]

I am considering some factors, Pups.

Do you all think that my Art is; "Commission" Worthy?

You know, if someone wished for a pic from me, I might charge them for it?

Now, that doesn't mean I won't do Art Trades or Gifts or anything like that, however you do get some on some Art sites who hardly know you and then beg for a pic, without offering anything in return (not talking about anything on here, more on people on Art sites).

Think I should start Commissions then?

[Shadow Dearly]

Well if you ask me, all art (which includes poetry) is commission worthy.

Also, starting commissions is entirely up to you. It'll show requesters they've to pay for art.

[babclayman]

Ah, But then if someone is paying Money for a picture, they'd expect something good for their Money.

You wouldn't like it if you paid someone £10 for a pic and they gave you a doodle in return, would you?

Although, is my Art the type, one would be okay with paying for?

[Shadow Dearly]

We'll let's examine your pic.

Your pics are well drawn out,(I've seen your style grow better over the years), and you have a good colour scheme. I believe that what people would pay for if you open commissions.

However, what people don't want are either stick people or scrabble art. Neither of your pics are that. So, yeah, I think your art is good to be commissioned.

[Belchic]

I haven't given you any requests in a long time, bab, and part of that might be because you hardly ever respond to my PM's, plus whenever you do take requests of mine, I usually don't get them until like 8 months later.

I really don't think you should charge people for artwork, bab. I think that's a bit unkind and unfair to your friends. Besides, a lot of us here don't have much money, and we don't know how to pay online for such stuff. Not to mention, everyone lives in different parts of the world, meaning they use different forms of currency.

[Nemo]

If you want to start them by all means go ahead.

HOWEVER.. if you DO go through with doing commissions. PLEASE draw the picture entirely yourself. Stop using backgrounds (or even pieces) that were screenshotted from the 101D series, found on google or photobucket, etc.. draw every piece of the image yourself. THAT is what people are paying for. I've been on both ends of this idea (being commissioned for art AND commissioning others for it).

We want a piece you made, not something you found on google, etc.. like here fav.me/d61h4l2 (screenshot from the series). Instead try DRAWING the tree, barn, grass, and so on.

[Belchic]

I'm going to have to agree with Chels. Photoshopping stuff is kind of taking the easy way out. If you drew everything yourself, it would look more professional, but Photoshop should only be used for coloring.

[Sweeney Terrier]

I honestly don't think you should do it, Bab, especially if having to do the WHOLE image is harder for you, and trying to make it look good as well.

[babclayman]

I'll be perfectly fine with drawing Backgrounds to my Commissions.

I have done plenty of pictures, in which I do make my own Background.

However, I guess you're right on the factor if I do need to do a Background, I'll put the effort in.
Like said, I'm still on the Fence about this.

I'd probably charge £3-5 per character, if I do decide to, but then there's the factor of "Who'd be willing to pay for a picture from me?"

And like said too, This doesn't mean I won't do Art Trades or Gifts. I'll still do those.

This is an odd case, isn't it? =s

Not that one :V unless the clouds and sky were from a photoshop brush, you used a pic for that background. My college major is in Graphic Design and art, so I know what I'm talking about. If you sell art containing pieces or images that don't belong to you, expect a lawsuit for copyright infringement if the original owner finds out. Plus, I doubt you drew the plane there yourself, if you did I apologize.

[babclayman]

I understand what you mean, Chels.
DA is suggesting I sell some pics as Prints, but like you say, I don't want to risk legal action what with my Backgrounds. ^^;

Well, I consider it and I don't think I'll do Commissions, just yet.

Cause whilst me doubting my Art is up to Commission Standards yet is one thing, the workings of it can be more concernable.
Like the workings of Paypal and how people pay. Along with Secruity risk and whether or not there'd be a market for my art. ^^'

There's also the point of how far does one get when it becomes more about the money and less on the art, having quantity take priority over quality, if you know what I mean? ^^;
So, No Commission yet.
Those who been fretting on this (you know who you are) can relax.

Remember, I'm still open for random art ideas, Art Trades and Gifts. =3
Okay? ;3

MORE ART FROM ME! =3

First, we have my Birthday pic for Nuke, based on a Fic that he once wrote.
In it, his Dalmatian Nuke gets into a Fight with his Brother; Buzzsaw over who gets to use the Television Remote. However during their battle, the Remote flies from their grip and lands on the floor, to be sighted by Lucky...so they're watching what Lucky wishes to now. X3
So, here we got the scene where Lucky finds the Remote to use it, whilst Nuke & Buzzsaw look up from their Brawl. ;3



Here we have a pic for Puffy! ;3
In it, Clayton & Puffy decide to try a bit of Train spotting together, with Puffy taking his kingly size (it helps with the view and it makes it easier to get up that ridge there).
As the two Dals spot together, Puffy decides to demonstrate his Gum Blowing abilities to Clayton. True, whilst he may been a truck load worth of Gum to make a piece normal size in comparison to him, when Puffy blows a bubble, he can certainly make it big. A Point that Clayton doesn’t doubt here.
I wonder what the passengers on that train in the background think at the sight of a Large Dalmatian blowing his Gum? O.o



Here we got a picture for Belchic. =3
In it, we have his Dalmatian; Belchic at his special Costume Box (which is claimed to be a Birthday gift from Two-Tone).
Knowing Belchic, it is most possible that he has his Trench Coat in there too.
And So, we have him opening up the Chest and something tells me, he's got a plan that involves Tippy, the Coat & A Fedora. B3



Here is a picture based on an RP with Lupus! ;3
Based around an Ongoing RP, We’re having, His Sheppard Pup; Lupus, uses his watch to take the form of any Mammal that he chooses, in a certain case; a Lion Cub. However, when he took a bunch of animals (which he broke from a zoo) back to Africa (with aid of Clayton’s remote), he comes across a Spiritual Lioness who claims that he is a reincarnation of a Deity of Africa, Kubwa Kaizari!
With training, Kubwa learns the ability to take his form naturally along with many powers which you expect a deity to possess.
So, here we got Lupus on the plains whilst his Aura takes for of Kubwa in the sky, watching all of his land in an Empire of Felis Lupus.
Mind you, this may be Non-Canon, so shall we consider this an “Else-Worlds” tale?



Here we have a picture for Bienie! =3
Her Sona; Bienie is an adorable kitty who always feels to give great and amusing scenarios’.
Clayton himself has gotten a friendship with Bienie, even so that she trusts Clayton with her…well…Bienie.
Clayton himself likes Bienie too, a sweet kitty which can be like a lil’ Sister to him.
So, here we have Clayton & Bienie together with the kitty wearing her special namesake.
Can I consider what activities, they have in mind?



Here is a picture of Lil Lightning and his Adoptive Pup; Turbo, for Corgi’s Birthday! ;3
In it, we got Lil Lightning, the Corgi Sidekick to Thunderbolt. However with him, we have another Little Corgi, whom is named; Turbo, his adoptive son. =3
I think I got the line colours good on these two, although the mouth aspect is the challenge, I can tell you. ^^"



Here we got a picture based on two aspects.
One of which is the “101 Dalmatians The Series” Episode; “Splishing & Splashing”, where the Pups are banned from Hiccup Hole, due to them splashing and insulting Lucy, the Goose. Spot herself tries to talk her way from punishment, claiming she never splashed or called Lucy any names, but Cadpig states that Spot didn’t jump in an defend her neither, stating “You’re Part Of This, Spot! Deal With It!”
And then that point reminds me of what I presume is a Meme. So, here we got Cadpig saying that line to Spot, but in the pose that the Meme may most likely be.
Wonder how Spot takes to Cadpig trying that.



Here is the picture, I have for Easter, along with a Belated Birthday gift for Growlie. ;3
Continuing the Theme of the Easter Pics, we continue on the Trail of where those missing Eggs got to.
Clayton, Puffy, Bishop & Snuggles are wondering where those eggs have gotten to, and it seems they found a culprit. Ginger and her Accomplice; Pudge!
Pudge seems to have noticed the Dals and Bunny have arrived, however Ginger is probably in a Candy Daze, after having quite a large candy egg, and she's got more to consume, unless Clayton, Puffy, Bishop & Snuggles have something to say about it.
Although, Ginger does seem sweet with her Candy Daze, eh? (Pun Unintentional. ^^")



Here is a lil gift for Aussie Friend, Brooki. ;3
Now, I think it's pointed that Brooki is the breed of Dingo. And then, whilst I was watching a Riff, I heard the line about that Woman who claims a Dingo stole (and possibly ate her baby).
I mean no offence with the idea, although it did raise an idea to mind.
So, Here we have Brooki at Sydney Bay and...hey, Wait! Where has the B got to? o.o
You don't suspect Brooki is planning to eat it, do you? ;3



A Belated Birthday pic for Trey from me! =3
For his Special day, I have drawn his Foxy character; Roxy having her usual tastes of Admirers.
Such admirers include, Lucky, Clayton, Kit, Nuke & Belchic! =3
Well, Roxy is a nice Vixen, so it's natural that some Pups take a good liking to her, am I right? ;3



And a group shot of Mooch’s Gang, but with Style! B3
I been thinking of Nemo; whom is also Mooch's Girlfriend. She wears a Bienie which is quite stylish...and then I realised that Mooch's Gang has a range of style too.
Such as Two-Tone wearing a Baret and Necklace from "Love 'Em Flea 'Em" and what Mooch, Wizzer & Dipstick wear for "Walk On The Wild Side"! =3
And you got to admit, the gang do look pretty in fashion, each item seems to suit them.
Which Pup do you think looks the most stylish?



Those are some pics, I have at this time, I do have more which I need to colour and I am also planning doing some Background & Scenery Pics too, to show what I can do when I try creating a scenery or background. ^^;

Still, I hope you Pups like the Pics! =3

Enjoy ;D

I’ll try to get some more up, as soon as I can. Still, What you Pups think? =3
