I'm sorry they are so late. ;__; I wanted to make sure everything was in order for TG before anyone paid for anything. So... on this random Monday in December, here are preorders. ^___^

If you cannot transfer money over the internet, you can still get one. I would accept a personal check or concealed cash. Only limitation is that it must be USD. Please email me, lilindar at gmail dot com, for more info and instructions.

Less Important Description of Details:
----------------------------------------------
Some things changed. Namely shipping and Special Editions.

If you're worried about it, please know ... my decision for how much I wanted to make per issue was based on the thought that if you like TG, you can buy me a cup of coffee. ^___^ Thankfully for you, I take my coffee black. That is how much profit I will make per issue. The rest is printing, shipping, and paypal's couch change cut.

At conventions, I will sell TG for 5$. [I currently am for sure doing conventions in Seattle, San Diego, and Spokane if you'd like to visit me. ^^] However, as with most artist published books, it is a small print run, and when it sells out, I don't know what my plans are for printing more.

Yes, 5$ is about 1 or 2$ more than the average comic you might buy from Marvel of a similar size and make, but for those not having an understanding of print media .......... this is not because I believe I am vastly better than other comics. It costs more because printing through nonPOD publishers is more expensive per unit if you order less, and the more you order, the cheaper it gets. A company such as Marvel may safely order several thousand of their least popular series and it may cost them a few quarters per issue. But being a small, unknown artist...as you might imagine I cannot do that. I am not printing TG because I want to make buckets of money, I'm printing it [in this somewhat expensive way] because it is my dream. [I know. Print media nerd much? My personal dream included precise paper quality measurements.] So prices reflect additional printing costs over what a large publisher might pay.

The other major change is that I'm doing only 10 special editions instead of 25, and these 10 are required to be priority shipped. [I've had too many bad experiences with economy shipping to risk it after putting as much work into the special editions as I'm going to.]

Alrighty, tha's all I have to say on it. ^^ Again, I'm sorry it's so late ... I really drug my feet. ;__; Quite honestly, I am afraid, as anyone is when a dream ceases to be a dream and becomes a labour and then a physical reality. haha ~ ultimately it was getting a table at SDCC that made me decide that if I don't print TG, I'll not only be a failure sitting alone in my bedroom drawing, I'll be a failure on a grand Comicon scale. XD

I'd rather fail after loads of work and effort and courage, if I'm going to fail, than fail from lacking the guts to try.

Thank you to everyone who reads this journal and possible even participates in this dream of mine ~

Quick little update ~ is accepting commissions now too. :3 Saving up for SDCC. [oh, that's why I'm taking commissions too. X_X; damn air fair.] Reasonable prices for really great work. ^^

---------------------------------------------

Thank you very much to & for commissioning me the last time around. ^^ Commissions are open again. :3 This time three spots instead of two. Edit: Four spots now. Thank you so much for the number of people who noted me! O_O I didn't expect there to be such interest. But I'm worried about taking more than these four. All who noted me afterwards will be noted again later before I write another journal on it.

Sorts of commissions offered: pencil and watercolor, of any subject. [with the exception of morally objectable subjects. No, I don't morally object to bl. XD]

10 x 14 -- 70$
5 x 7 -- 35$

Sizes:
9 x 13 -- 25$
8 x 10 -- 15$

With pencil commissions, sometimes I end up slapping really simple colors on them for online posting. Just for fun. ^^ I may or may not with your commish, depending on fickle creativity.

Obviously ATCs are a little tiny, and will probably end up being bust commissions. Other sizes, you're welcome to choose how much of your chara you want. [Or better, just leave it to whatever my head gives you. XD] I also don't have any ATC examples to show. O_o I've never done them! 8D Yay challenge! X3

Shippins': In the US varies from 1 to 5$. International varies from 2 to 13. <~ guesstimations.

Thanks very much for all the support my DA account has recieved. ;___; Truly, the comments and other sorts of lovins' sometimes keep me going ~ <3 The next free art give away will be at 200,000 page views. ^_^ Not sure what sort of commission that will be, depends on how I feel when the time arrives. :3

If you need something by Christmas, please say. Christmas in fact is why I decided to offer ATCs. XD Thinking back on what I would have wanted, back in the day when I had money for giving and getting gifts, I would have squeeled if a friend bought me an original from an artist I liked.
