Linework part 1, ink on pencil on paper

Some more work on a recent commission (see previous progress here).

Sketch, pencil work.

Something spiritual (despite the fact that she looks like one of my old DnD characters).

"Need," 5.5 by 8 inches, colored pencil and ink on paper.

So I posted this sketch over on Tumblr after Supernatural’s “Goodbye Stranger,”as art therapy, and my llove and a friend of mine liked it so much that their flailing inspired me to finish it. Pose inspired by the way Cas and Dean held on to each other in the “I need you” scene. And you can thank my llove for Dean’s plaid pants.

"Gratitude," 5x7 inches, pen and a little colored pencil on paper.

 

Another donation repayment piece, for someone who was way too kind and insisted I not draw anything for them. So I went and stalked their gallery and came up with this anyway :)

"Labor of Love," 4x6 inches, ink on paper.

The first of the donation repayment commissions, for this fantastic person, of her original character Tyra (who I’ve drawn before and was very glad to revisit).

Like this? You can get one too! Click here for more info.

"Owl's Flight," ink and colored pencil on paper.

Drawn for my llove this past Valentine’s Day, revisiting two fae characters from a previous piece.

Because the world needs more Destiel chibis.

"Epic Bros," Dean and Charlie from Supernatural.

 

Started this weeks ago when “LARP and the Real Girl” aired, but it took me a bit to get it finished enough to post. I hope to finish this up with ink and color once I have supplies again (and time, ahahaha).

My fiancee and I are having some rather significant financial troubles right now, so I’m sending out a request for donations (with “repayment” of each donation in art).

As those of you who’ve followed me for a while know, winter is an especially tough season for us, and this year its gotten even worse than expected. We’re unable to meet any of our bills, including our heat and rent. This also means that I don’t have money for art supplies, and I’m nearly out of most of what I use.

So, if you choose to donate, you’ll get artwork in return (as well as my undying gratitude) as soon as I have enough to purchase new supplies.

Art request guidelines per donation amounts are as follows:

Donations up to 5 dollars - a 5×7 inch pencil sketch of one character:

Sketch example, one character    Sketch example, one character

Donations up to 10 dollars - a 5×7 pencil sketch of two characters:

Donations up to 17 dollars -a 5×7 linework of one character:

Any donations above that - a fully colored piece of your choice of size (up to 9×12 inches) and number of characters, with a fully detailed background, OR multiple pieces of art in full color or linework (depending on the amount of the donation).

Full color, detailed backgroung   Full color, full backgroung   Full color, full backgrounf   Full color, full background

All donations must be made in advance before I start the work, and I will begin work on linework and color repayments as soon as I have enough to purchase new ink and nibs for my pens (sketch repayments will begin right away, since I still have pencils, at least).

If you choose to donate, you’ll get a large scan of the finished piece sent to you by e-mail. If you’d like the original copy, I can do that, but may need you to also pay for the shipping and packaging.

If you’re able to help out, please send any donation amount to my Paypal at rachelillustrates@yahoo.com. Once you’ve sent that, please then e-mail me at the same address with your art request, according to the list above.

Thank you in advance to anyone who donates, from the bottom of my heart. And thanks, as always, to all of you for keeping an eye on my work.
