Just a quick note along with my Commission details. Chugworth is back, and updating every Monday.
Find it here: [link]

------------------------------------------------
NOTE: THE COMMISSION QUEUE IS CURRENTLY LONGER THAN BOTH OF MY ARMS COMBINED. IF YOU REQUEST A COMMISSION, I WILL GET TO IT, BUT IT COULD TAKE A WHILE.

Greetings! As you may have noticed, I've sadly not had the time to update either Chugworth or Boss Noodle much lately. The reason for this is because money is pretty tight at the moment, so I've been working on various unrelated things to compensate. Obviously, neither Chugworth or Boss Noodle bring in much direct income being that they are freely accessible online.

Thus, before I can get back to work on either I have to continue making money elsewhere, which is where the 2009 Commission Clusterfuck comes in.

Simply put,
I AM CURRENTLY OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS.
Details to follow!
--------------------

Types of Commissions and Pricing

Before I begin, none of my rates here are final and can change drastically depending on factors unique to each job. The rates here are just to give you a rough, ballpark figure.
Precise quotes can be obtained via email with a detailed description of your request. My prices are in British Pounds, with a conversion to US dollars which is correct at time of writing but is of course subject to fluctuating exchange rates.

Basic prices per image are usually around:
(B/W)Single Character, No Background - £30 ($50)
(Colour)Single Character, Simple or No Background - £50 ($82)
(B/W)Two Characters, No Background - £55 ($90)
(Colour)Two Characters, Simple or No Background - £80 ($130)
(B/W or Colour)Three or more Characters, Simple or No Background - Requires an email quote

(B/W) 6.5x10 150dpi Comic Page - £80 ($130)
(Colour) 6.5x10 150dpi Comic Page - £100 ($165)

Other set-ups can be discussed via email.

On the subject of "types" of Commissions, I am available for either Regular or Hentai themed commissions, with Hentai Commissions being marginally more expensive.
--------------------

Commissions regarding my own and other's characters

On the whole, I very much welcome commissions featuring characters from my own projects. The reason for this is that having drawn them so often anyway, I am very comfortable with how it goes and can get it done that bit more promptly. Having said that, there are a few rules I have when using my own characters.

Chugworth Characters: NO HENTAI. Sorry, but I'm not willing to do hentai commissions based on Chugworth characters. In addition to that, any commission must be canonicaly feasible unless good reason can be provided.
Boss Noodle Characters: NO HENTAI. The rules regarding Boss Noodle are pretty much the same as the Chugworth ones. I won't do any Boss Noodle hentai, and situations have to fit within the situation and characters.
Spiky Box Characters: Either regular OR hentai commissions are fine for Spiky Box characters. Although again, I'd prefer if they were kept within the boundaries of feasible canon unless a good reason could be given. (For example, an image of one of the three girls having sex with anyone other than Kirk would likely need some justification).
Anime/Comics/Videogame Characters: Pretty much anything is fine, as I have no emotional attachment to them.
Characters from Webcomics or similar Independant Sources: This is a no go area, I'm afraid. I like to keep a modicum of respect for my peers, even the ones who are wank biscuits!
--------------------

Priority, Discounts and Speed of Delivery

As I'm hopefully expecting a reasonable response to this invitation, I will of course have to prioritise my commissions and you may find yourself in a queue.
Discounts may be given to customers who request very large orders (for example, a long picture series or a mini-comic book). In addition to this, more lucrative orders will be prioritised along with repeat customers.
If you are waiting in the queue, I will try my best to give you an accurate estimate of when I will get round to you. Also, bear in mind I will not ask for any payment until I am in the process of actually beginning your commission. Once your commissions has been started, the turnaround time is usually in the region of 1-3 days per image/page unless I run into some problems, in which case, I will inform you.
--------------------

Types of Payment

My preferred method of payment is PAYPAL or an IBAN based bank transfer, due to convenience and lack of charges. If, however, that isn't an option, Western Union / Moneygram can be used as a fallback.
--------------------

And there you have it.
If you are interested, please email me at: mrtummygiggles@gmail.com along with a DETAILED description of what you're after, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible (usually in 1-3 days).

PS: Throw some Spiky Box commissions my way if you fancy it, I'm enjoying drawing the characters again right now for some reason.

What is it with the mentally handicapped and Sonic the Hedgehog?

Every time I see an hilariously terrible "Original Character do not steal" recolour of some crappy Sonic character, it always turns out the "artist" is unfortunately afflicted with Aspergers. Always.

Discuss.

Exactly what the post says!

From today onward, head on over to Boss-Noodle.com ([link]) for first access to all the new noodley goodness!

Alright folks, since I finally know what I'm doing with Boss Noodle I reckon I may as well let you lot ask me some questions about it.

Email your questions on Boss Noodle to "mrtummygiggles@gmail.com" and mark the subject line as "Boss Noodle Question" (any emails without this subject line may be discarded as spam).

If I get enough good ones, I'll post the best/worst/most interesting/least spoilerific ones with answers on here.

GO!

Update 1:

Q: What is the basic plot of Boss Noodle.
A: Essentially, Boss Noodle is a traditional Samurai tale in a modern setting. Robin's Grandfather is mysteriously murdered and the police see the investigation as a dead end. Thus Robin decides to find the killer and avenge his death herself. The only clue she has to go on is the killer's supposed name: Boss Noodle.

Q: Other than Robin, Melody and Joshua, are there any other important people in Boss Noodle?
A: Of course Robin's Grandfather's death and his supposed killer, Boss Noodle himself, mean that both of those characters play a central role in the storyline. There are other important characters too, but I can't reveal them without giving away spoilers.

Q: Have you started Boss Noodle yet? Is there a website I can view it on?
A: Currently the only place to see Boss Noodle related stuff is my DeviantArt page. In terms of progress regarding the comic itself, the main storyline has been completely finished, and the detailed script for the first episode is also done.

Q: If I recall correctly isn't Melody the techie/gearhead of Boss Noodle?
Yes. She is.

More Q&A coming soon!

I remember landing under lazer fire from the local negro population. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the yellow vans to get to our hotel.
