No, really.
I’m so proud of this new commission I finished for a friend of mine. The client is an old high school friend of mine and the commission was to draw her family.
From left to right, they are: Delias, Kendall, Andris, Jake, Zo, Leon, Margie, and Itzal.
At the moment, I’m not available for commissions. There’s a few things I need to sort out with my day job first.
Once I’m available, though, I’ll announce it here on the blog and on my Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr.
Thanks for checking out the new work! There will be more of it soon.
So I forgot to update this blog sooner. I’m very sorry! Things have been pretty manic in my studio.
I’ve been finishing up work on a new series of comic strips K. Ferrin asked me to make. Here’s a peek at one of them.

Of course, Johnson & Sir and Validation are still updating regularly. I love the conversations my readers are having and the comments they’re leaving! Seriously, I read the comments. All of them. And I love you (but not in a creeper way).
Charlie & Clow will be up online soon! The goal is to have it online October 29! Here’s a peek at the cover:

It’ll be available to read at www.charlieandclow.com (don’t try to go there yet. I’ll be building the site over the next week).
I’ve also been working on a short story penned by the fabulous Kristen Kellner. Here’s a peek at one of the panels in progress:

I’m on my last few pages of this short story, and hopefully you can read it all online soon!
Also! There’s another new comic in the works. I’ve been keeping it relatively hush-hush because the writer is still writing it, but they want me to provide the art for it. We’ll be doing a KickStarter for the project in November. (Like, three-weeks-from-now November. Holy banana pants!) Here’s a color and style test I did for it…

And here’s a look at one of the possible designs of the logo (it’s still a work in progress)…

Like I said, the writer and I will be doing a KickStarter to fund this upcoming webcomic in November. I’ll hopefully post more art for it as I make it!
So…yeah. I’ve been making comics like a madwoman. Gotta’ remember to take a day off.
Be on the lookout for Charlie & Clow launching on October 29th! I talk more about the details of the story in this post.
Thank you so much for reading and putting up with my tardiness. I’ll see you on Friday when I talk about the Superhero Ladies series.
Not only am I available for other commissions, I’m also available for making comics for you!
I am available for short stories, webcomics, anthologies, graphic novels, and other long forms of comics.
I also have other miscellaneous services I can offer to make comics happen:
Scripting, Pencilling, or Inking: $30 per page
Colorist: $40 per page
Letterer: $15 per page
Formatting for Print: Email me for a quote. Prices vary depending on page size, number of pages, and other factors.
If you are interested in hiring me or if you have any questions, leave a comment below or email me at kelcidcrawford@gmail.com. I’ll be happy to answer.
$40 for a full body of a character of your choice. $20 each extra character.
$30 for a full color illustration of bust/half-body of a character of your choice. $10 each extra character.
$20 for a sketch of a character of your choice. $10 each extra character.
Detailed backgrounds (Like in the full-body above) are $15 extra.
I am now available for commissions! Right now, art-making is my only income (which is both awesome and incredibly stressful), so any help is appreciated.
I have five slots open for commissions at the moment. If you would like to work with me, email me at kelcidcrawford@gmail.com and include…
Your name and email
The price of the commission.
What you want me to draw you. I’m ok with long descriptions and/or source images.
I’m fine with any subject matter, but I reserve the right to decline. If I do, I’ll give you a reason. I can also draw something outside of the bust/half-body/full-body (like an icon, etc). Just ask!
Paypal only please! Only send payment when I confirm your slot. Please pay half before and half after.
If you cannot get a commission from me, then please visit my Store and share this post.
Today I knuckled down and started a four-page anthology submission. I even shared it on Facebook and Twitter, but I’ll share it here, too. Sorry for the crap quality, but I took the picture with my phone:
It’s called The Story of Queen Padmini and it’s based on true events, detailed in my favorite book at the moment, Women Warriors: A History.
Speaking of Women Warriors, I’m planning on making a new series of illustrations. Keep your eye on my Tumblr for updates, because that’s where the series will make their first appearance!
On the vlogging front, you might have noticed there was no update this week. Sorry!
My mind has been on getting new gigs lately, to add to what I have going at the moment. I’ll be opening up for commissions within the next few days, so keep checking in.
And speaking of gigs and commissions, I drew caricatures for three years. I think I might get back into that for a bit…
As much as I love making comics, I also really miss interacting with customers when drawing caricatures. That was always the fun part of any day.
Anyway, I’ll be updating this blog a lot more often now. I’m aiming to update every day, so keep checking back for news and sketches (and other awesome things!).
