This article is still yet to be completed due to stress. We get a lot of stressful torture in our lives that makes us crash into slumber. Given that inspiration is a big variable, and we may have been lacking of it, this article will be completed as soon as possible, at our own pace... HONEST!

Starting on 1 July 2014, Chris began taking commissions for his artwork. He offered a B&W 8.5 X 11 for $50, a colored 8.5 X 11 for $100, and a colored drawing in a frame for $200. Though several B&Ws and coloreds were purchased, needless to say nobody was willing to pay the extra $100 for a frame.
Description
|
Straight from the creator and artist, Christian Weston Chandler (myself), you may now request a Fresh full-colored hand-drawn and colored artwork with Non-Offensive subject matters directly. NO LOCAL PICKUP AVAILABLE, at the Personal Risk of myself, the Original Creator and Artist.
|
Chris posted six samples of his work, not for sale, but presumably as examples of his craftsmanship.

Questions and Answers
|
I was looking into buying a picture commission and I am wondering why the price differences between all three? It's a $50 difference between B and W and a colored commission and then another $50 between a color commission without a frame and one with one. I could essentially buy a colored commission without a frame and then buy a nice $10 one at walmart and have the $200 sale at $160. Did you make the frames?? Is that why it's so expensive? Or are the frames such good quality that they've costed you $40-50? I'm not dissing on your sales, I'm just pointing out something I noticed. I think you'd sell more pictures with frames if you charged maybe $160 instead of $200. |
|
Firstly, it is the Time and Detail, Heart and Soul, that goes more greatly into the coloured commissions. More time is definitely needed in the coloured commissions. And then in the best offer, there is the Certificate which I personally sign and date, and I laminate the drawings. The frames vary on which is available from 10 to 50 at the time and circumstances locally at my end. |
|
If the quality of the art isn't that good, can the customer get a refund of their money? |
|
No refunds. |
Several customers made the decision to fork over money for personalized artwork by Chris. The finished masterpieces are shown here.
Untitled, dated 7/6/2014
For this work, the recipient asked Chris to draw a scene from her comic, "Rosechu's Story." Her response to Chris's effort: "I'm pretty happy with basically everything except for the fact that he forgot that the pokeball is supposed to be opened, which I specifically requested."
Untitled, dated 7/6/2014
The buyer sent the following request to Chris:

Hey Chris, For my commission I would like a collage of my favorite wrestler, Rob Van Dam, drawn in your signature style with a special Sonichu spin to the designs on RVD's clothes. I would like one part of the picture to be RVD making this pose http://i.imgur.com/aZVfrfo.jpg, another part to be RVD holding this briefcase http://i.imgur.com/xCSHEr0.jpg and the last part to be Chibi RVD http://i.imgur.com/3YtG5hX.jpg, all with that Sonichu spin. I am sure you can make this all come together! |
This was followed up by correspondence:
|
Your number has been registered, and I will keep you updated. Rest assured, I promise not to share your number with anyone. Thank you. I have your suggest images, plus an idea in my mind and a magazine and newspaper for background portions. |
|
Great, I trust your creativity to fill in any blanks! |
|
I have completed the piece. The story I came up for it is chibi Ron is the son; he gets picked on at school. "Wah! Wah! The kids bullyme! I want to go to a theme park and laugh at the freak clowns there. Wah! Wah!" Papa Rob and his honey are being abused like as they were "Mr. Money in the Bank"; what trouble for the parents. It will be complimentary laminated to keep the portions secure on the pieces on the back card stock paper. I will ship it to you tomorrow. |
The result is one of the most surreal and autistic works Chris has ever produced. What it means is anyone's guess; his description offers little help. Chris made sure to scribble over the offensive torsos of the wrestlers and Chibi with black marker. The drawing came covered with hair of unknown origin.
lots of hair

The buyer asked for a picture of "Colossal-chan and Mitch Sonichu staring down with CWC as the referee."
Untitled, dated 7/10/2014
The recipient asked for a picture of "CWC shaking hands with Clyde Cash."
Untitled, Dated 7/13/2014
The recipient explained, "I asked for Sonichu and Chris to be fighting Clyde, Asperchu, Pickel suit, and Brown shirted imposter, with Meg, MLW, and Snyder watching. Chris isn't good at following instructions."
The envelope it came in
"Boy's Night Out at Cheers with Jugs," Dated 7/20/2014
The buyer's request: "About the commission, I would like these three fine gentlemans: http://i.imgur.com/hvmiqKf.jpg in a bar full of only gentlemen. And somewhere in the background I would also like Christian Weston Chandler to also be in this gentleman's bar. Again this is a gentleman's bar, only for men to go to, not gay, kind of like a "Boy's Night Out". And adding a few small talk between the gentlemen in the picture would be great! Thanks Chris!"
Drawings received a certificate and title only if they were the $200 version, or if they were for a repeat customer.
Three Untitled Drawings, Dated 7/21/2014
The buyer made the following request:

For this commission, I would really like to see Rosechu (with her lightning sword) and Ultra Sonichu in a friendly pokemon battle. The battle has been going on for a while, and they've been really going at it and giving it their all, and the arena has been torn up quite a bit with rubble lying around and scorch marks on the ground. I want it to look as though Ultra Sonichu might have the upper hand, but Rosechu is trying to find a way to turn the tables on him. Incidentally, who do you think would win in a fight between Ultra Sonichu and Rosechu? Sonichu is pretty powerful, but I think Rosechu might be resourceful enough to win. I'd be interested to hear your take. |
The following correspondence ensued.
|
Send me your payment, I will debate that statistically in my mind and you will find out in the piece. |
|
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what "you will find out in the piece" means? Are you going to include a separate note saying who would win? Or are you planning to show which one wins in the piece itself? Glad the payment and the email got to you alright. Thanks again. ^__^ |
|
In the piece itself. |
|
Oh, so that means you're going to change the picture to show one of them winning instead? |
|
No, it will be a subtle hint. I will tell you directly after I have thought about it. |
Chris sent three illustrations. They arrived with a handwritten explanation of the art:
|
Hey [omitted], I have given the matter a Lot of thought, and I ended up drawing a three-piece set for you (a bonus, considering lack of background for Classic Pokemon Battle Style). I felt it a mismatch to pit Super Vs. Regular initially, so I took creative license to make Super and Ultimate Fury into Mega Evolutions for the turn-based gaming format. Also, taking a tip from ScrewAttack's Vegeta Vs. Shadow & Mario Vs. Sonic "Death Battle" episodes (on YouTube) to figure which Mega Evo. Form would last longer, and who could stand battling the other longer... Chaos Object Energy doesn't last as long as a woman's scorn, and considerably finds the end result in reasonable theory. But I would not see death to either anyway, because the Primes, Sonichu & Rosechu, are Not only Sweethearts and Married with Children, the couple are Best Friends with each other. You care, feel, understand and have true compassion for the other;... I would not want to hurt them in the least. Do you understand? Have a good day. Christian W. Chandler |
