Greetings program! My name is Bill and I'm 37 years old. I'm a musician, an audio engineer and a 3D graphic artist. Send me a message if you want to know more.

...Oh! Check out my website to see my webcomic, listen to my original music and various other bits of geekery.

**Commissions**

What are commissions? Basically, it means that you can ask me to create piece of 3D artwork or a short song just for you! Since I’m looking to start attending more conventions, I really need to start gathering funds so that I can pay for artist alley tables and hotel rooms. I really hate begging for money which is the reason why I don’t like putting up a tip jar on my website. Here’s what I’m offering:

1) 4″x6″ single character artwork – $10.00 ($15.00 if you prefer it to have a more 2D look).
2) 8.5″ x 11″ single character artwork – $20.00 ($30.00 if you prefer it to have a more 2D look).
3) A 1:30 song – $50.00 (That’s one minute and thirty seconds).


The first two are pretty self explanatory. These images will have a pretty simple background but we might be willing to work something out if you have a special request. The third one will be an original piece of music licensed under Creative Commons. Basically, you’ll have the right to do whatever you want with your song as long as you’re not using it for commercial purposes.

Requests for single character artwork can be of anything you want as long as it doesn’t go beyond PG 13. In other words, nothing too naughty. While I mostly do anime style characters, I can also do some more realistic ones as well. Since I have a deep love for robots and big space ships, I might be willing to work something out with you if you want something custom done. Modeling something from scratch can take quite a bit of time, ya know. Check the image to the left for an example on the difference between a 2D character and a 3D character. You can click on it to get a larger version of the image.

A song request can be of any genre but it will be an instrumental. That’s not to say that I can’t do vocals but it does take a lot more work to add something like that to a piece of original music. I might work something out with you, though, if you have some lyrics already written. The same goes if you would like a song longer than one minute and thirty seconds. The price of the song would just have to be adjusted to account for how long it will take me to get things completed.

So, if you are interested in any of the above, please send me an e-mail at shaggy@zoiks.org. Once we work out the specifics, I’ll send you an invoice via PayPal as well as give you an estimate on when you can expect your purchase. Since I’m a one man show, I’ll need to schedule commissions out so that I can get other things done like my comic.

Personal Quote: Enjoy what you do even if no one else does.
Interests
2012 is already shaping up to be very busy year for me. Aside from the typical comic, I'll be doing several conventions including my first appearance as an artist at Katsucon. I also plan to keep going to conventions such as Anime USA and Intervention.

On the music side, I've decided to take some orchestration classes from Berklee to get me on the right track with a production of Julius Caesar that I am on board with. I also hope to complete Binary Birth so that I can get back to performing live again. These two projects may force me to alter my comic schedule somewhat so that I can make sure everything is completed on time. I'll keep doing three comics a week for as long as I can but I may miss a day here and there. If it becomes too much, I may go down to twice a week but I'll just play it by ear.

With only a few weeks left in 2011, I still have a few things that I want to complete before the first of the year. I have to finish my gift for the Webcomic Secret Santa gift exchange and I'm working to complete my first video game music remix. I also need to get back to work on a piece of music that I'm writing for another webcomic friend of mine. With Christmas coming up, though, that last bit may have to wait till after the first of the year. If only I didn't require so much sleep.

Happened to come across your page by chance when I noticed your comic pages. Thought it was cool to see another artist delving into a mix of arts from comics to music like I've been attempting!

Thanks! I'm actually a musician first. The comic came sort of by accident about 4 years ago and I've just been keeping at it and working to merge them together.
