As many of you know, I am now in college! With that said, for about 3 weeks now, I have been doing digital paintings on my own time as practice for my career {Digital Interactive Media/Animation} and a channel to destress. I mainly started just doing The Lion King art and I've gotten pretty good at it so, I've decided to attempt moving to horse busts and possibly opening up a service here. I have been seeing a lot of ISO's for horse busts or personalized animal graphics and thought I'd give it a shot!

Here are a few examples of what I have painted recently in my own time:

Buckskin:

Bay:

I'll add more examples as I paint them, but please be aware though there are a few exceptions at this time until I improve:

I. I can not do mythicals like Nightmares, Flametas or Thoresians

II. I am currently using public DeviantArt grayscales {the ones here were kindly provided by Valanee > https://belladonna369.deviantart.com/art/Headshot-Grayscale-339092269 } so I am semi-limited in breeds until I can grayscale on my own {Working on this as we speak!!}

III. I can do semi-basic palettes at this time so buckskin, bay, bay, white, dappled greys and palomino. I am still learning to do paints, sabinos, roans and other beautifully complex colors. This however, should not take too long to figure out once I get my groove going.

So, my question to you all is: would this be something of interest if I were to open this service and how much do you feel is reasonable I charge?

Bump!

PS - I can't promise these busts could be used as an avatar, but I might be able to find a way to make such a thing work

i would love a couple of them but to pay you not sure ..=

I'd be interested if it could be used as an avatar :) 

 Equ, do you use Photoshop? If you are interested I could do a Join me and you could watch how I make my paintings. I don't use greyscales. I can show you how to make them into Avatars and Siggys. We need more people who offer sell these, I get tons of messages from people wanting to order, but I'm too busy right now to take orders.

Most recent work:

Personally I don't think these are all that hard to make, even thought I spend a couple hours on them. :-/ So I just charge 15mill for a Avatar and Siggy set, but I probably should raise that.

Let me know if you need any help! I've done pretty much every kind of marking, color, and breed you could imagine.

@ song - I'm working on seeing if I can start making some avatars/siggies as we totally need more people doing these in game! If I can figure it out, I'll definitely being auctioning some off! :)

@Flair - I would love this, thank-you so much!! I do not use Photoshop (PS) yet, I use a close subsitute called Pixlr Editor, but I'll be getting PS in December for Christmas so that shouldn't be too far to make this work! ^^

I'd be interested for sure and can't wait to see more of your work! :D

You could always toss in auctions to see what peeps are willing to pay too!

Ohhh I so would buy some! It's hard to say pricing with digital art though, so I'm no help. I'm thinking though around 15 mil as a base price for bigger photos might not be a bad starting point.
