It's been a long while since I last posted something here. The why and how of it would be long and boring, so suffice to say that there's not really a lot of motivation for me to draw all that much these days.


Starting today and for the remainder of the month I'll be uploading a number of discarded sketches, half-completed projects and other assorted odds and ends. We'll see where it goes from there.

As you saw recently, I've embarked upon a noncommittal endeavour to redraw some of my earliest (and not-so-earliest) entries in my gallery. If you want to weigh in with "votes" and suggestions, here's a very loose list of the drawings that are eligible for such treatment:

Starting today and for the next couple weeks, I'll be posting some stuff in order to catch up with what I've been uploading to Tumblr but not here. After that, there will be a small announcement.

Happy(ish) new year, folks.

I hope you've all had an acceptable holiday time. Here's what's going on right now:

  • First of all, I've decided to upload my current commission price list as a regular deviation so that it could be featured permanently on my account page. You can see it here: Kenji's Commission Prices (2015). This also gives all of you a convenient place to ask questions about commissions, prices and whatnot, in the deviation's comments section. I will periodically update this same deviation with new versions of the price list as time goes by (maybe with one of those fancy dealios that feature thumbnail examples of the types of commission offered).
  • Secondly, both my home computer and my laptop tragically died between November and December. I'm currently having a hard time finding a financially acceptable solution for this problem but hopefully the situation should normalise relatively soon.
  • Lastly, A Space for my Heart is back on track for the third and last part of the story. My good partner-in-crime dave-littler posted the first chapter of Part III last Thursday (you can find the final art for the chapter here and here), but my computer-related misadventures prevented me from posting the roughs at the same time; I shall rectify this starting this evening.


How's 2015 treating you so far?

Hello again, people!

First things first: my schedule these days is rather crowded, so in light of the manifest lack of interest on my watchers' part the holiday-themed sketch thing is officially not happening this year. Sorry!
There's simply not enough incentive for me to devote time and effort to this right now, but don't get too depressed: in order not to be labelled as the proverbial Grinch that stole Christmas, I'm still doing a little something for my Tumblr followers, so all those who've been naughty this year can enjoy the other half of the celebrations on my NSFW side-blog once that's done and uploaded.

Secondly, I've updated my commission price list:

>>> NEW COMMISSION CARTE DU JOUR <<<

There are a few differences between this price list and the old one:
  • First of all, the dollar-to-euro exchange rates have gone down, which means I've been able to lower my prices for what I consider to be the "rough" category of my artwork (unpolished pencils and traditional inks). That's good news for you!
  • I've also split the "clean lineart" category into three sub-categories (traditional inks, digitally polished pencils, digital inks); what little experience with commissions I've accumulated over the past year has most of all taught me the difference in the amount of time required for each of these types of artwork, which is why digital inks are now slightly more pricey than they were before.
  • Lastly, due to the splitting of the previous section the "coloured artwork" category is now priced in relation to the desired type of lineart.

Keep in mind, this is all pretty fluid stuff: I'm absolutely open to feedback on this, so if you think my stuff is over(or under-, or in any other way mis-)priced, feel free to tell me! I value your input just as much as I value your willingness to hurl money at me.

I'll be back soon with more news.

For the time being, cheers!
