Happy belated Valentines' day! I made a tutorial on how I color in PSP. Click here to see it.

I haven't updated in a while, sorry.
So Friday I decided to create myself a little iPod dancer icon, only with my dog, Pippin. I called it "iPippin", and posted it as his default picture on his myspace. I made a few for some of his friends, and then, BAM! They're what a lot of people want for their animal's myspace! I finally got smart and made the main things I need (the little Apple and iPod) into a brush and picture tube for PSP, so it'd be easier for me, than using them from previous pictures made. While it doesn't take too long to make one, the time does add up when you have 5 or 10 to make, so I've decided to charge for them. Since they're not much to make, the price is cheap: only 50 cents (USD). I figure doing 12 within an hour is about $6.00, so that's, if not close to, minimum wage. Plus, I figure if I add a price, I won't get so many messages asking for one.

For more information, go here.

Okay, so I posted a bulletin about it, and I have gotten 3 orders, but I also got this:
"That's too much for an icon. =/"
But is it really? You can buy a can of Coke out of the drink machine for $0.75, and that lasts only until you drink it. This icon will last as long as you have the URL/have it saved onto your computer. That is quite longer. Two quarters; five dimes; a combination of coins. Even I can scrape up that much! I have seen websites where people will charge $10 for a little 150x150 pixel image (no better than mine). Mine are what, $2-$3? That's the thing about me: I hate when things are over priced: that's why I price my items fairly-very cheap, compared to others.

I am giving you MY time, MY materials to make YOU something- even if I don't know you very well. Don't I deserve a little something other than a "thank-you!"?
So, honestly, I do not think $.50 is very much to ask for. $1.50, yes, but 2 quarters? I think not.
