I immediately fell in love with Jen's gallery when I first saw her OC, Scylla! Her gallery is full of amazingly brightly coloured awesome talent! :love: Her works are really stunning, she has a way of capturing the magic of a scene, and I could honestly stare at her work for hours! :drool: So I suggest you get your behinds over to her loverly page and give her some well-deserved love! :heart: :XD:

Watchers

deviantID

:wave: Hi! My name is Dana, and I'm an equine artist living in South Africa. You can call me Dana, Equinus or Equi! I enjoy drawing horses and photography in my spare time! :heart:



Please do read this before leaving questions on my front page, you might find an answer here! If you have any other questions, feel free to note me!

:bulletred:Wow! You're from South Africa! What's it like there?
Its very nice! Yes yes, it's said to be a very 'dangerous' place, but where in the world isn't dangerous? Its lovely and sunny (or hideously wet) in summer, and rather cold in winter! And it's very beautiful, so if you want a different holiday, South Africa is a good choice! :XD:

:bulletorange:Can you draw my character for me?
I'm afraid I don't do free requests anymore, due to a lack of free time since I'm studying, so I only take commissions.

:bulletyellow:Can you teach me to draw horses?
Hehe not really, since I have a number of ways and they probably aren't the best! However, feel free to use my tutorials in my gallery and check the tutorials on dA and Google! :D

:bulletgreen:When's the next page of your comic coming?
Hehe not even I know most of the time! :giggle: It all depends on motivation to complete a page, and how much free time I really have! At the moment, my comic is on hold for personal reasons. I will continue with it when I can.

:bulletblue:Do you have to pay with real money for your commissions?
Yes indeed! :nod: It also doesn't matter which currency you pay in, it will automatically converted to my currency.

:bulletpurple:How much are your commissions?
You can find all the details right here: [link]

:bulletpink:What programs/tools do you use to draw?
I use Adobe Photoshop CS4 :love: and a Genius 8x6 tablet!

:bulletred:How long have you been drawing for?
Ah goodness, for as long as I can remember! :giggle: I've been drawing horses since I was little, and I've been doing digital art since 2005!

:bulletorange:What inspires you to draw?
Usually music, I listen to many movie soundtracks. I also browse websites for good references, so those inspire me as well!

:bulletyellow:How did you get so popular!?
I don't really think of myself as being "popular". I'm not fussed about pageviews or faves or comments, I just appreciate the support I get from my friends! :aww:

:bulletgreen:Can I draw your characters?
Of course you may! Giftart really makes my day!

:bulletblue:Can I use your pictures for my blog?
No, I don't allow any of my artworks to be used outside of dA and my personal website. If I do catch you stealing my art, I will contact you and the site host you are using. If I catch anyone on deviantART stealing my art, I will report the sunshine outta you. :no:

:bulletpurple: Can you look at my art?
I can't promise to look at your art, since I don't have much free time on my hands, and I can be very forgetful too! So if I have the chance to, I will take a look, but please don't be offended if I don't!

:bulletpink: I want Photoshop! Where can I get it?
Photoshop isn't free unfortunately, and neither is it cheap! I got mine at a special student discount. You can look on the Adobe website and I know they do special bundles for students at reduced prices. If you're short on cash, try out GIMP. It's free, and it gives you the same results as Photoshop!


Thanks for looking! :cookie:

$12 Commissions! *Edit*

News

EDIT
Ah I got the email I was dreading - Kagi has paid me! :tears: And I'm like $3 short of the amount I must get for them to send me! :ohnoes: Plus, they keep talking about October, I think they're lost! lol So I'm still taking in the $12 commissions anyway, thank you to those who have commissioned me already! :aww: I'll have to spend to Kagi and tell them to send my money early next month! Man, some people really are daft... it's not the 20th yet! :roll:

------------------------------------------------
Hey guys!

Yes, you read it! I'm giving away US$12 commissions today! Its all cus I've been told that I will most likely not get my money in December, and I've been saving to do Christmas shopping for my parents. So, that means I need my money in November. And they pay me my money on the 20th, so that's tomorrow! :fear: ANd after all the tex, I'll only be getting around R300, thats $42 instead of the $60 I'm meant to get! :tears:

So.... I'm offering commissions to anyone! I'm offering:

:bulletpink: One characrer with a semi-realistic shading style with no background!
:bulletpurple: It usually goes for US$23. I'm giving them out for $12!
:bulletpink: So you're saving $11! :omfg:

You can find my policy here; [link] only horses for now please! :XD: I will need payment today however, so if you ARE interested and CAN pay today, please send me a note, with your characters name's and ref sheets, and if you have a pose that you'd like! Then I'll reply with payment details, and once you've paid, I shall get started!

I would really appreciate the support, I know money's tight now that Christmas is coming in! But it's only $12, and perhaps you could make it into a gift for someone? :aww: You guys would really make my day, even if I had 2 people to help me out, you would be the most wonderful people ever! :tighthug:
