I'm attempting to make it to A-kon with my dear friend Dai-chan. We've calculated the costs to get me there. That said, I need money, not only for this (a rare luxury in my life) but I have big bills to pay that my minimum wage job I'll be getting again for summer just won't cut.
WE HAVE UNTIL THE END OF MAY. To be safe, more like... 26 of May or so.
~AVON STUFF~
First of all, few of you know, I'm sure, but I work for Avon. I don't make a lot of money doing it, but you can help. If you or ANYBODY you know buys Avon products, be it the makeup, perfume, lotions, or other stuff, please buy (or ask them to buy) from my webpage. It's mailed directly to you like ordering from any other store online- however, since it's my personal Avon store I'm paying for, I get paid for it.
It can be found here:
OME'S SUPA-FANTASTIC WEBSTOREEEEEAlso, if you sign up to be a representative there... I get $25 for referring you. >_>
Since I've been asked by a few people already on the matter, these are the items I wholehearted recommend, as I actually use them.
* Naturals Body Balm - A really thick, creamy lotion that really does the job. It used to come in a lemon and honey scent I liked but it doesn't anymore. So I personally recommend the vanilla, though it also comes in cucumber melon and peach.
* Bubble bath - Loved this stuff since I was a kid. Right now there's a limited cherry blossom scent that I'm crazy over. I got a free bottle to test it and I just love the hell out of it. There's a ton of other smells but they vary by season.
* Haiku perfume - One of my favourite perfumes, only Avon sells it. A nice, very gentle fruit\flower smell.
* Haiku Shower Gel with Moisturizing Beads - Same smell as the perfume, really nice body wash. It doesn't break me out, either, and I have notoriously sensitive skin.
* Naturals lip balm - I'm a junkie for lipgloss and chapsticks. These things are only a buck each. And they taste good. >_>
I don't wear makeup except for costuming, so I can't recommend on that at all- save that the 'Mark' section has more modern stuff, with the brighter colours and all that. I liked the "Self Sanctuary" Violet Berry scented stuff in the Mark section, but it was much too fruity for my personal tastes, I'd recommend it if you're into that sort of thing.
~COMMISSIONS~
Dai and I are both doing commissions. Hers are going for as low as $10, and she is VERY talented, so I advise checking hers out. Her information can be found here:
http://dai-san.deviantart.com/journal/12797544/My information:
Prices (with examples) are as follows. This is my normal guide, but because of my desperation, I'm willing to go cheaper, maybe as low as half. Contact me with what you want with an offer.
Basically, if you want a complex BG with a complex character, or one or the other, there's a chance I won't cut a lot off because of the difficulty- however I am VERY desperate, like I said.
* $45 - 3D work- full BG, one character
Examples:

Ink style - $5 extra. Examples:
*
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39662160/Every extra character adds $5 more. Anthropomorphic characters are $5 to the original cost (so a BGed pic would be $50, a non-BGed one $25) with $8 additional anthro character, as they're infinitely harder to do. CHARACTER REFERENCES ARE VERY ENCOURAGED. If you have a difficult character, I may ask for extra time to complete.
Paypal preferred- unless you can 100% get me the money by about the 23rd of May.
Thanks all- thank you so much.
