# About me
Professional artist working in both traditional and digital media, craftsman, doll customiser/costumer, jeweller, bookbinder.COMMISSIONS:
SIZE: I generally work on a minimum canvas size of 4Kx4K at 300dpi - however this is open to negotiation depending on whether you want a high print-quality image or something for web work.
TIMESCALE: This depends on what you're after; simple sketches on a blank or parchment-textured background I can do on a 1-2 day turnaround; simple painting of a bust will take 2-3 days. Full-length character portraits will take longer depending on how complicated the outfit is. Full-length portrait with full painted background could easily take me up to a couple of weeks to do. It also depends on how busy I am. I will discuss and agree a timescale with you before any money changes hands.
SUBJECT MATERIAL: This is pretty much up to you with very few exceptions. I'm pretty versatile and can do pretty much almost any subject material; please browse my gallery for samples of my work. Animals are my real forte, but I also enjoy painting portraits. If you're not sure whether I can do justice to a particular subject, please ask!

Hi Arkady,
How are you?
My name is Lindy Fu. Our company ZQGame is looking for good artwork from talented artists. We have seen this work from your artwork site: [link] . We wonder if we can use it for our game promotional marketing. If so, is the IP yours or somebody else? What the price range would be? Please let us know. We can work on the details later. You can reach me at lindy.fu@zqgame.com.
Thank you very much,
Lindy Fu

Unfortunately the IP of that particular subject belongs to Bioware; it is a piece of fanart depicting the character Anders from Dragon Age 2. However I would be willing to accept a commission for a similar piece featuring an original character of either your or my own specifications.
A sample list of my commissions prices is available here , together with contact details.

I'm slowly getting back into it again; I completely lost the momentum thanks to getting hit by a car last month, and it's taking me a while to pick it up again and get back into the right headspace. It's not been forgotten though, and "Cut the Rose" will be finished hopefully before Christmas. It will be the last in the "Apostate Chronicles" series though, as it will bring the series to a natural conclusion and I'll be (hopefully) at long last getting started on the fantasy novel.

Omg are you okay i had no idea

I'm mostly OK now, though I'm still using a crutch to get around as the accident aggravated an old cartilage injury and I'm waiting for an MRI. But I got off pretty lightly; no broken bones. It's just thrown me off my writing a bit.
And yes, it's going to be my own original story; I have a rough outline of the plot and more detailed stuff on the principal characters; it's just a matter of getting the DA stuff out of the way so I don't find myself just subconsciously writing Hawke, Anders and Fenris instead of my own characters.
It doesn't necessarily mean I won't be posting any more DA fanfics; just that there won't be any more in the "Apostate Chronicles" series, though I might be persuaded to dash off the occasional ficlet set in between some of the events in the series. After all, the boys have 3 years together between the big heart-to-heart and Anders blowing up the Chantry.
