I have an interview on Thursday for a position at a scented candle store.

Me... working with scented candles... LOL.

Well, it's something at least. :>

Anyone know of a community on LJ that is specifically for artists to advertise icon commissions?

Thanks.

PS: I need about $800 by Friday or else I am screwed and will probably get kicked out onto the street. Boss promised my money would be in my bank account before Thanksgiving, but of course he lied.

I forgot my LJ password and was too lazy to retrieve it, lol.

Anyway, to the few people who watch me on here, I have a dilemma... Money is still tight, especially when my boss refuses to pay me on schedule and rather prefers paying me only when he remembers or when I am pretty much on my knees and in tears. I barely have enough to pay the bills and I've been digging into my birthday money/savings to pay for groceries. My funds will not last long. I really don't want to end up moving back in with my family--I am always unhappy when around them.

I want to open commissions again. The problem with that is I can't seem to finish large commissions and end up dragging them on for months, even years. I have problems with composition, mostly. Small pictures, like simple chibis and icons I can do more quickly.

Would you be interested in buying an LJ icon commission--maybe even two or ten or twenty--from me? Not pixel icons (these aren't as simple as they look--they often take me about as long to do as large images), but Photoshop digital icons. They can be of your characters, you, whatever. I am thinking about making them $10 each. Is that a good price for icons here?

Also, what about coloring commissions? My big fuss over large commissions is that I can never come up with a satisfying composition, and then inking takes me forever that by the time I finish I get fed up with the composition and start it all over again. Do you have any lineart lying around that you'd like colored, for a price? Or maybe we can even join forces and do commission collabs?

I am--and will always be--available for website commissions. As in, I design and code up a website for you. I should be charging hundreds of dollars for these things, but I am so desperate that I will charge just $100 for a full website. Design and all. Maybe an extra $50 if it requires something complex (like a CMS) or contains a lot of pages (more than 5). Anyone interested in that?

Does anyone have other ideas? I've been checking out craigslist and other job sites for a better-paying job, but so far no luck. I am considering getting a job somewhere like Starbucks. How much do people get paid at Starbucks? Any retail places out there that are known for their high wages?

TL;DR: Neekko is running out of money and is in desperate need for a means of income.
