Commissions Corner
Cupid’s Arrows

Cupid spends a lot of her time making websites.
Right now she’s waiting for more commissions to come in so she can get right back into the thick of things, splashing the web with artistic designs meant to mesmerize the senses.
She has been at it for over three years now. She began, as most do, with simple HTML, quickly learning the fine art of more complex bits of web design at the age of twelve with the help of this friendly website. Originally it was something she was very interested in learning, but now it has become nothing more than a hobby, and a way to earn a little spare cash.
She operates out of a deviantART website, primarily for the simplicity of updating and keeping track of situations. She has plans to eventually move on to her own site, but that’s something for the future.
Insofar as technique is concerned, she’s positive she doesn’t have one. Or, at least, not one she knows about.
I don’t really think i have one, although there are probably things that I repeat in most of my websites that I don’t even notice! to be honest, I just work with the information I have, and piece it together until it looks good. I’ll admit I usually revamp the designs during the creation process once or twice, so just the graphics alone take 5-7 hours sometimes.
A lot of the artwork for these websites come from brushes, downloaded depending on the kind of effect she’s trying to portray in a given template. Sometimes, however, she goes completely from scratch, choosing to eschew help from others and craft something completely unique and her own.
After talking with her for a while, it seemed obvious to me that she was a decent professional. I’ve seen her templates, and I’d recommend them to pretty much anyone looking for a simple, low-cost ($5.00!) site design. If you’re interested in getting in touch with her, either to see the templates she has done, or to commission her, the best place to do so is her deviantART page, which has all the information about her commission status, as well as the various kinds of payments she accepts.
