May Commissions and Motivation • VI • 2012

Journal Entry: Mon May 7, 2012, 6:15 AM








May? Already?


This year is rolling too fast. Work is flowing, and have lots of things to handle constantly appear.

There's a "RSA Animated" series video talking about motivation, which indicates the three basic elements responsible for better performances: Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose.

If you have a boss (Or if you are a boss), I'd like you to show it to him/her, and tell us what he said:

(Just 10 minutes video)

Alright, but what about freelance people?
Well, I can't complain about Autonomy, I'm my own boss.
Mastery? I have the feeling I'm getting better on each piece I do, and that's very sattisfing.
But when it comes about purpose... Well, having the means to make the world more esthetically pleasing is nice, but it doesn't make me happy all the time.

From 2008 to 2011, I was engaged on several Activist projects, teaching people, making lectures, understand world's needs, and that was very fulfilling. This year, I'm kinda stuck back on my own life's boundaries, and I feel like shrunk.

Everyone says: "If everyone do your own part, world would be a better place."
But my question is: Define what you mean by "your part", because taking care of your personal life seems to be too small...


Commissions Batch: May


Hello, people!

My name is Rodrigo, and as you can see, my Job is to materialize your ideas through visual Artworks.
If I didn't have to eat and pay bills, I'd gladly contribute to some cool projects for free, but as it's not the case yet, I have to charge for those.

Also, due to some content incompatibilies, I have a gallery on Fur Affinity, where you can find and request different kinds of pieces, including mature content.

You can find it here: [link]

Lastly, I would like to apologise for the constant price adjustments.
Dollar is devaluating so fast that if I didn't make any changes, my income would drop on 11% since beggining of year.

So, I hope we can do friendly business, and I thank you for the support!

And thanks a lot for the opportunities, and for all the Kindness.
I'll put all my efforts to honor your support!

What can you Request? How Much?

LineArts: $30 USD (+$15 for Each Extra Character)
Examples: (Gradient Fill is optional)


Colored Simple Character: $50 USD (+$30 for Each Extra Character)
Examples: (Colored SIMPLE background is optional)


Colored Complex Character: $60~70 USD (+$30 for Each Extra Character)
(This includes characters with more than four limbs, wings, or too complex outfits. The complexity define the price)
Examples: (Colored SIMPLE background is optional)


If your request is more complex than this, fell free to send me a Note explaining the details, so I can set a fair Price.
Don forget to send on the Note the following:
• Request type (Full-Body/Half-Body/Bust/Close)
• Pencils or Colors?
• Pose (If needed)
• Description
• Timeframe (If needed)

Note:
Due to some scams, the payment must be made at most, after the sketch is made. If no payment is sent after that, the proccess will freeze until confirmation.

Thanks for the Support Folks!
I'm glad to share this with you!

Rodrigo "Den" Martins is not playing "the Game."
The current rules of the game are: "The one which dies with most stuff, wins." ~ And that's the modern definition of success.

You have to ask yourself:
When you get the ultimate job, the ultimate house, when you store up financial security and climb the ladder o success to the highest rung you can possibly climb it...

And the thrill wears off... and it WILL wear off.

Then what?
How far you have to walk down that road to see where it leads?
Surely you understand, it will never be enough.

So you have to ask yourself the question:
What matters?
