Description

The listing, Custom Digital Art Portrait has ended.

I've decided to post a custom portrait on Listia and see how it goes. This is for a digital art portrait that will be emailed to you in its original, uncompressed format. The finished image will be 1024 x 768 pixels. It will be perfect to print out or post on your facebook, etc.
Here's how this will go. The winner will email me a photograph of a single person (I may post another auction for two people after I see how this one goes). The higher the quality of the photo, the better the quality of the drawing. I can fudge a bit here and there as you can see in the second portrait, but I prefer a clear photo.
Big, toothy grins look weird in digital art, but smirks and smiles are welcome. :)
I will ask the winner to provide me any details about colors they would like or a basic theme, as well as whether they'd like me to draw the background, or add an artsy one like in the first portrait. This will truly be a custom piece of art.
Do you have a photo you'd like drawn but are hesitant to bid because you're not sure if I can do it? Ask me for my email and we can discuss it.
If you have any questions at all or feel that I've left out some detail, please let me know. Happy bidding!

Good idea! I'll do t.hat right now. Thanks so much. :)

Jun 25th, 2011 at 12:14:17 PM PDT by

Now I'm wishing I had more credits! =(

Jun 25th, 2011 at 12:03:00 PM PDT by

I hope it goes for what it's worth. It takes me several hours to do one of these portraits.

Jun 25th, 2011 at 12:15:06 PM PDT by

You're welcome! I don't think you'll have any problems selling this! =) I have a photo of myself that I think might look cool done up like this- it would make a great profile pic.

Jun 25th, 2011 at 1:27:29 PM PDT by

They make awesome profile pics. I had mine on my Facebook for awhile and people loved it.

Wow,this is an awesome auction!

Jun 25th, 2011 at 7:43:05 PM PDT by

Aw, thanks!

this is really really cool! I love digital art and cant do it for beans. I'm more of a traditional artist, pencil mostly. Also I think you can click the free shipping for digital listings. I'v done it already for codes and such. It will bring a lot more people to see your work. Good luck and I'll be watching!

Jun 27th, 2011 at 6:18:05 PM PDT by

Thanks so much! I'll try it next time. It brings WAY more views when you click free shipping. Lol. Good luck!

I bid 8,000,000 credits! Um, I guess I'd better start listing stuff! Tentative bid. : /

Jul 1st, 2011 at 12:05:28 AM PDT by

Lol. :) I hope this goes higher. I think next time I'll offer to print it out and email it so I can at least put free shipping.

Jul 1st, 2011 at 7:11:20 AM PDT by

Super cool......Photoshop and a tablet??

Jul 1st, 2011 at 7:21:06 AM PDT by

Sketchbook pro and an iPad. I don't alter the photo, I actually use it as a reference layer. Thanks for your interest! :)

Jul 1st, 2011 at 8:18:38 AM PDT by

Also, please allow 5-7 days for your portrait to be completed. It may take less time then that, but I don't want anyone getting antsy. :D

Of course, this is technically FREE SHIPPING because you don't have to pay me anything to email it to you. I know you're not supposed to list as free shipping if it's digital, but isn't there some way to not make it say that the winner pays shipping?

Jun 25th, 2011 at 9:33:14 PM PDT by

Free shipping would probably get you more views.

Jul 1st, 2011 at 7:19:45 AM PDT by

It definitely would. I think it would go a little crazier if more people actually viewed it. Lol. Most people (myself included) click right past the auctions that don't say free shipping.

i marked all the little boxes so everyone will get extra experience points, except me. cant mark my own box

Jul 1st, 2011 at 8:30:45 AM PDT by

I marked yours. :) Is that what those are for? Experience points?

Thanks for the bid, Erin, I was starting to get a little antsy. :)

Jun 25th, 2011 at 12:19:27 PM PDT by

i fanned you., fan me back?

Jul 1st, 2011 at 8:31:29 AM PDT by

Sure, thanks!

Jul 1st, 2011 at 10:56:00 AM PDT by

The little boxes are only to show you agree with what the person is saying. They don't actually give you any points

Jul 1st, 2011 at 12:46:05 PM PDT by

Thanks for clearing that up. Lol. I've heard lots of theories. So, it's basically a 'Like' button. :)
