Ok, this is just getting a little TOO crazy.
Everywhere I see awesome pictures of characters of people being drawn in such OHGAWDMYGAWD awesome styles by some totally worshipful people like

:iconetcetctetcawesomeawesomeartists: And I'm telling yas....
I am burning with ridiculous envy. For one, I will never get the guts to ask for a trade from them, being as inferior as I am, and I will never ask for a request.
I know I might sound desperate/pleading/emo or even angry right now, but I have always wanted to commission these art-gods, but the problem has always been the prices. Not that I'm saying there's something wrong with them, it is after all the artist's right to decide, but it's just that my wallet is filled with mothballs and I really, really, REALLY don't want to burden my parents with the want of just a picture.
...but then that's just it right? It's just a picture. God knows what a 'picture' means to me. *emomusic*
I've been addicted to it since my Brimsis

drew that old picture of Archangel (now Myara) for me. Remember Brim...? ^.^
And then I discovered that trading can get me access to more pics. I was like, WHOA. SWEET. So I went on trading sprees with every artist I could grab;
the love grew . I honestly don't know WHY. Really, it's SCARY...! But then now, I have trades I totally owe (AND CONTEST gifts...I shame...I r shame...), and though I want more, I know I will not be able to return thier kindness...not unless they have the patience of saints. *shame*
But yeah, I really don't think I will ever have the guts to trade with wonders like

(She's awesome! x3 ). Gawd, just looking at thier art is relaxing and inspiring, and it just
KEEEEELLLLLS trying to imagine some of my chars in that style. *swoons*
And requesting. I never dare to request anymore, it's usually rejected, but I understand that.
So now, here's the question....
Who's got to awesomenest art, but also at affordable prices? I can take US $60 to ...uhh, well, nothing beyond US $200-500 (THAT'S A THOUSAND DOLLARS IN BRUNEI (my Country) DOLLARS!!! I r starving for art, but not that starving!!)
But most importantly,
How do I get it? Like, do I get it in an email, at very high resolution to print myself? Or do they send me a hardcopy by mail? And if it is by mail, how big will the picture/print be? Note that I am willing to give my address if this is by mail.
I want
one poster size, not just a tiny cardstock . Ok, that just sounds evil, lol....but I want to make a commission totally worth it, ya know? My parents who are paying for the commish want it totally worth the money. They're sick to death of me ranting out how envious I am of those who have pictures drawn for them. XD;;;;
As for what I want drawn....becos I'm pathetic like that, I'll list it (note that I am terrible with decisions, so this may change from time to time...) The ones with

are especially swoon-enhancing :
1. A picture of Shoru, in his samurai clothes perhaps, becos I'm addicted to him.
2.
(For story purposes) A drawing of my dragon-rider character, Maxas and his dragon Starstrider. These guys are really old characters, but recently, they have been resurrected thanks to Eragon.
3. 'FORCA: Legends' a cover-style drawing for my yet-to-be-drawn manga/doujinshi (I am too inferior to make a manga...), starring the four main characters Tatsuya, Kiba, Ryuu and Mau. These guys aren't that new, and I know you've never seen them before ^^'
4.
Eduardo Riverstone, a horribly OLD but incredibly cherished character of mine that I never posted here before. He is my crowning glory, and I want to see him drawn beautifully. *daydreams*
5. Starstrider and his mother, Skydancer
6.
Eduardo and his faithful steed, Gladiator. I wonder if you guys remember that black unicorn...lol
7. My Castlevania-ish deamons, Lazar and Xanatos, and Xanatos' uncle Vangelis. And uh, no, SD-chan, this Vangelis is different from our favourite nutcase. x3
8. Another old story-related characters, Thunder the gryphon, Greenleaf the Satyr, Windchaser the eagle and Kale, the moody dragon. These guys are so oooolllllllllldddddddd.............
9. And lots more others.
*wheezes*
My god, that feels so much better to say out loud.
So PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. One more time! PLEASE....HELP MOI.
I really, really need to know what to do with commishes and HOW I'm going to get commissioned pics FIRST before I get down to this rather scary decision (scary for me anyway....). I really don't want an emailed picture. I'd rather have the hardcopy mailed to me...big size. I know the artists' have info on them, but heck I just need help from you guys as well.
And
please SD-chan!! Remember what I said in my note! Please don't, ok...? *clings*
PLEASE OK...DON'T GO SAYING "OH WHACK YOURSELF VV, YOU'RE MAKING A HUGE DEAL OVER SOMETHING SO SMALL." I know it sounds a little desperate, but when it comes to money funny things pop. So no RAGHRHAHAHAHAHAYOURESODUMBANDEMO please. I want help. Not buggeristic and fight-causing snizzers. THANK YOU.
With much love,
Vivvers (now calming down)

Mah Fwens and Loves!
