( two ) video/possible freyr action

[sup]

[ hey asgard. surfing the network? well whoop-de-doo have a post from one (1) dave strider. he's looking fairly normal today, body distanced a bit from the video. but that's for a reason. he's pretty much studied up on the currency of asgard, all for the purpose of this message. ]

Ok, so. Apparently people are going around getting jobs and whatnot and since hot tubs don't just fall out of the sky unless you win it cupcake-baking, I'm just gonna sit here and advertise to you my

commissions.

For those of you that are way too low on the low-down to know what these are, or you're head's still stuck in the 15th century, commissions are basically a case of 'you pay me' and 'I give you artwork'.

And I know what you're thinking; oh Dave how would you shit out masterpiece after masterpiece oh so eloquently in such a pre-modern phenomenon without a lunk of a computer???

[ chill as heck face. ]

Well baby, this is traditional. Ha.



[ with that statement, dave searches through a pile of papers sitting next to him and brings up a medium-sized sheet of crumbled paper with red markings and a drawing on it. he places it directly at the video feed, covering his face while he talks, and when done - exchanging the piece of paper for another throughout the feed. ]

First up is a traditional sketch. Doodle. Thing. I'm gonna go with 3 runes on this thing since I'm not exactly giving you the equivalent of St. Peter's Basilica's sculptures.




I guess if I tried coloring it I'd have to charge more??? Jesus fuck sometimes sketches are better left uncolored -- especially if you haven't got a clue what you're doing.

This is not one of those cases.




If you want shitty artist tier material that'll make you cream your pants then go figure! Special effects! 9 runes each, about 1 silver rune. Don't ask how I do it, though. That's a secret.


[ he finishes, laying back a bit. ]

Aaaad, that's all.

All these prices are in copper runes and all of them are currently open. I'm in stealth mode right now, don't want too many people grabbing at my sweet deals and take my commissions under siege. So honestly, you're getting a really sweet deal. We can always figure out a cost if you're low on the dough, but don't try pulling anything, 'kay?

[ ooc: read up on the faq, h/e if this isn't allowed, notify me! he doesn't really expect anyone to "buy" anything. if at all, this is more of an advertisement of his rad skillz, yo. ]

Who the fuck would pay for that?

[ video ]

[sup]

I would.

[ s m a r t. ]

As a matter of fact, if anyone as straight up suave as me would pay for a pretty fucking awesome piece of artwork by a cool ass dude like me, then I'd have to agree with myself that I would totally throw down a few bucks and go for it.

[ there's an eyeroll here, but dave's shades hide all. ]

In other words, who's talking?

[charming_jerk]

A guy who thinks your outta yer mind, that's what.

[percentages]

You are an artist in your world?

[Passively. She's curious.]

[Video]

[sup]

Meh, artist is kind of pushing it.

[ oddly enough, he isn't looking to degrade the artist name with work he knows isn't quite grade a, despite what he just told the other guy. ]

Are you?

[Video]

[percentages]

No. I am a spirit sealed within a sword.

[She says this very matter-of-factly.]

[clockeyes]

[Just cocking his head at the screen curiously.]

You have, um, very...interesting drawings, if I do say so myself. Do you do this often?

[Video]

[ oh hey, just catching this dude's end of the video feed, and...

hello, cheriour.

staring!! and forgetting to answer the question. ]

Wow dude. That's sick.

[ not in the literal sense, of course. ]

[Video]

[clockeyes]

Huh? Who's sick?

[And yet he takes it literally because, really, who uses the word sick to describe something? Cheriour is way behind when it comes to human terms and phrases, sadly.]

Is something wrong?

[lethechained]

Besides, who said this wasn't serious.

[eatscreepypasta]

...You're intentionally drawing badly? Why on earth would you do that?

[ Nope, she can't understand that at all. ]

video; filtered

[sup]

'Cause you've got enough pretentious screwups in the world who focus so much on their techniques they don't let their natural ability flow through.

This is like a giant 'fuck you' to them. Plus, what else am I suppose to do to get a hot tub? Can't help it, gotta break out the drawing tools.
