RFQ (Request for Quote) for Fanfic Illustration Project

Update: I have found an artist! Thanks to all who applied.

Hello! I am a fanfic author looking to commission 6 illustrations to appear in an upcoming fanfiction. My tentative/negotiable budget for this is $1650 USD or $275/illustration. I wish them to be done by 24th September. I am looking for illustrations that are fully shaded, and in color, suitable for appearing inline both online (via AO3) and in print in B&W. I am an amateur fannish creator, and this is the first time I've ever done something like this, and have no contacts to which to rely upon. As a result, I'm also offering a $50 finders fee for any good-faith tip, recommendation, or referral that ultimately leads to a successful agreement.

About the project:

Nature of Work/Quality Requested: Each illustration will involve two canon Stargate SG-1 characters that require, shading, detailing, and coloring. Each illustration also requires a background that effectively communicates the scene geography (ie, where the characters are in relation to eachother and their immediate surroundings). However, generally, the backgrounds do not require complicated shading and detailing as long as they get across the general idea - with the exception of a landscape background for one of the six illustrations. The backgrounds are: medical lab, briefing room, daylight forest, hillside overlooking river, underground cave.

Fandom: This project deals with the Stargate SG-1 fandom, and the characters of Janet Fraiser, Jonas Quinn, Samantha Carter, and the Goa'uld Nirrti. Someone familiar with this fandom would be preferred, but if you are not, substantial high quality references will be provided.

Controversial/Squicky Elements: These requested illustrations do not involve any kind of erotica or ongoing/imminent violence/gore and are SFW. However, of note, a few of the desired illustrations require an accurate reproduction of automatic firearms typical of Stargate SG-1 (specifically, the M16A2 and the MP5, references will be provided), and one of the desired illustrations involves an injured and bloodied person.

Revisions/Alterations requested? Due to the expedited nature of the project (just under two months to finish), I don't expect there to be time for any significant alterations. All I would request is a sketch copy of each illustration before major detail/shading/color work is undertaken, so I can verify the scene geography and major components are correct. If there is time, I may pay extra for alterations should I want them.

How you will be credited:

In-story, online: Your name and a hyperlink to your website/social/portfolio (as desired) will be attributed in the author's notes of the chapters in which your illustrations appear. Your name will also appear at at beginning/foreward, credited as "Illustrator"

In-story, in print: Your name and printed URLs/@s will appear in the beginning or the end of the story, at your choice, credited as "Illustrator"

In other situations, online, e.g. social media posts: A named link to your webside/social/portfoilio (As desired)

Nature of product+license I am intending to purchase:

In general, high quality sources I can freely distribute, and which other can freely redistribute (so long as you remain attributed, and the following terms are attached). Specifically, I am looking for:

Source quality without visible watermark

Time-limited right of first publish: You will withhold publishing copies of the commissioned works on your own socials/website until the final fanfic is posted, or the date February 1st, 2025, whichever is earlier.

A non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable license with the following terms:

In general, unlimited noncommercial reproduction with attribution.

Limited derivative works, including, color re-grading, cropping, addition of titles or text bubbles, extraction of individual elements without modification (e.g. characters), for the purposes of creating covers, memes, compositions, promotional material, and general shitposting.

Sublicensible without penalty under identical terms, for the purposes of allowing others to distribute the story with the illustrations intact, so long as attribution is preserved, a copy of these terms provided, and no cash or other cash-equivalents exchanged.

How you will be paid:

I am willing to pay via Pay Pal (G&S), Bank wire, CC payment to online shop, Bitcoin/Monero or any crypto listed on Bitstamp supported by Ledger. I am willing to sign up for any online service that does not have onerous verification requirements, as long as such service does not require the use of a proprietary app that can only be installed on a smartphone.

Payments will be in installments as progress is made, or via escrow at the artist's request.

Price negotiable?

Yes. The listed budget is what I believe this project is worth based upon my very limited knowledge and experience, and the money I have available to pay. As the title suggests, please send in your own quote as you feel is fair compensation for your labor. However, cards on the table, price will be a significant factor when discriminating between bids and I may reduce the scope of the project rather than incurring cost overruns.

Is the deadline soft or hard?

Hard. I need the illustrations by the given date for printing in order to give a copy to someone I know (it's a surprise).

How can I contact you?

Please direct all inquiries to bythemorningstar@protonmail.com. If you wish to make a bid, please include the following information.

Your tentative bid, in converted from your currency to United States Dollars

Your estimated lead time

A portfolio of recent work, with at least a few examples of the quality you are willing to work at for the given price.

[mushroom-through-the-stargate]

im currently thinking about how sam is too scared to love jack, while jack is content to meet her where shes at as long as theyre side by side. how everyone from her dad to daniel and Teal'c to random aliens they met 3 hours ago all assume they either are already together or should just get their heads out of the sand and make out. how during the zatarc episode when jack was telling daniel about anise kissing him by simply saying "she made a pass on me" daniel immediately went "sam????". how in the nirrti episode with jonas sam felt like shit, was leaned perfectly comfortably against the bars, and completely shifted around to get jack cuddles. how in the memory stamp episode the stamp didnt stick with tealc at all, daniel held onto his morals and fascination of gate travel, sam held onto stuff like dhd, idc, gdo, and all jack held onto was his feelings for sam. how slowly over the seasons people (specifically her dad) noticed that sam wasnt happy, and that she WOULD be happy with jack. how jacobs dying wish was for sam to know she could have both her job AND her man. how, between the later seasons of sg1, atlantis, and sgu, the more proof for just how Married they were the further the distance between them grew (jack going to dc, sam going from commanding atlantis to commanding the hammond). how they were practically made for each other. how hammond probably knew when he met them in 1969 and had been waiting 28 years for them to meet. how jack "adored [her] already" their first gate trip together. how they literally, canonically, get together in every universe. how that fact constitutes them as soulmates.

[existence-is-useless]

Okay, so all us Stargate fans know that Nirrti was obsessed with creating an advanced human known as a hok'tar. Basically she wanted one to host her own symbiote, but what is not really known unless you read the Stargate books, is the Nirrti is referred to as one of Lilith's children. Lilith is actually an Ancient who was studying humans in an attempt to advance humans to fight the Ori by making them more like the Wraith, but with the ability to feed on animals instead of humans.

Nirrti is is also believed to have killed Lilith, but also, it's theorized that Nirrti actually briefly possessed Lilith as a host.

So, once again, the death of hundreds of thousands of people because an Ancient was screwing around, created consequences, and didn't bother cleaning up her mess. Like, it's believed Nirrti killed Lilith, but there was no proof, and like, the Ancients did have a habit of just ascending when they got into trouble.

mula + fallen angels (1995)

spoiler warning!

nakshatras as movies i love

Ruled by Nirriti, this nakshatra is best symbolized by The Tower in tarot - the house is in flames and the only way out is through the window. Having Moola in your chart forces you to take leaps constantly. Nirrti is described in the Vedas as "terrifying" to behold - yet is known to be forgiving, bestowing fortune on those capable of living to her values.

To this effect, Mulas share a theme with the Yama-ruled Bharani: destruction is only the beginning. Ketuvian in nature, Mulas must give up the bonds holding them down to truly ascend to their fullest potential. The Sagittarius placement brings to mind a nebula, a graveyard of ancient stars bringing new light and potentially new life into the void. There is deep, incomprehensible beauty in letting go. There are wonders in just letting life's currents carry you elsewhere.

Sharing Prajapati as a ruler with Rohini, both nakshatras become foils - the slash and burn autumnal harvest of Mula forming a delicate symbiosis with the rain-drenched spring sowing of Rohini. Traditionally, it was auspicious to declare war during Moola. Those with this Sagittarius nakshatra often must make the hard decisions in lieu of others.

Ketu, faceless lord of sacrifice and enlightenment, can be an incomprehensible, difficult ruler. The shadow planet is beyond Mercurial speech, beyond Saturnian reason, beyond Solar Ego or Lunar Emotion, Martian will, Venusian desire or Jupiterian fortune. Mula means to "unroot", after all. Mula natives have to close one door to open a better one.

[cute-girls-from-vns-anime-manga]

if you were to check out the live2d archives of shiftup's previous game, Destiny Child, you'd find some real nice cute girls. off the top of my head, demeter, fortuna, nirrti, mircalla.

Huh, didnt think to go into their back log of game to be honest. But considering how much i do like their style and the particular level of horniness shift up usually goes for Ill be certain to check it out....if i can remember to do so.

Stargate rewatch: 1x14 Singularity

lol, we just love to go to other planets and putting up signs announcing our presence.

Daniel sneezes! So we haven��t forgotten his allergies entirely.

Throughout the show, each member of SG-1 will get at least one Emotional Support Child. This is Sam’s.

However Teal’c is the first contact with Cassandra as he’s sans hazmat suit - I love how gentle he is with her. We only got a glimpse of him with Rya’c in a tense situation, this gives us a better idea of what he’s like as a father.

We know from Cold Lazarus that Sam is an Aunt, and she does have a sweet Auntie vibe in the scenes with Casandra which becomes more maternal as the episode progresses.

I think this is the first time the element the Stargate is made from is identified as naquadah.

Daniel isn’t wearing his glasses in the briefing - I wonder if Michael Shanks got sick of wearing them all the time or the director didn’t want to bother trying to avoid the lights reflecting in them. Perhaps both.

This time it was Mario Azzopardi, who also directed the pilot and several other season 1 episodes.

Not an issue here, since the reflection comes from an onscreen light source.

I do love these kind of shots!

Oh hey, head of surgery Dr Warner is back, nice continuity.

Daniel also had a coffee cup - I don’t know if this is the first one in a while or if I’ve just been forgetting to look.

It’s another episode on the heels of Hathor where Sam is The Girl, but much more successful as there’s actually some character work going on.

Daniel outside reading a book waiting for Sam is very sweet, but he uses a piece of paper to mark his place instead of a bookmark like an absolute savage.

Sam: “I just - I want to do this” Daniel: “Okay. But I guess what I’m saying is that you don’t have to do this alone.” Their friendship!

The first season is full of randos in the briefing room.

Our first mention of Nirrti, although identified as male by Teal’c - whether he was wrong or at one point Nirrti had a male host is undetermined.

Nirrta is a Hindu deity that is either male or female depending on the scripture. The name is derived from the Sanskrit Nirrti which means decay, and is probably why they were chosen for this episode.

Sam feeling she needs to be detached because of her military training 🥺

What was that post about traditional tv framing having everyone stand unrealistically close to fit into smaller screens? Exhibit A right here.

“In fact the decision is quite easy - the consequences are what’s difficult.” Great Hammond line.

Gut wrenching performance by Amanda Tapping. Also Katie Stuart as Cassandra - she knows exactly what’s happening when Sam leaves her in the bunker, red tag of death still attached to her clothes.

Sam guesses that the bomb isn’t going to go off, but ultimately she goes back down because she made a promise to Casandra not to leave her, and couldn’t live with herself if she broke it.

In Thor's Hammer, Daniel asked Sam if she'd ever had a feeling that made no logical sense but turned out to be right - this isn't quite that since Sam did have a reason to believe the bomb wouldn't go off, but this the start of Sam starting to trust her instinct and made big logical leaps that inexplicably pay off.

This will get her into trouble later on as risks don’t always pay off, but will also allow her to make incredible achievements and snap victory from the jaws of defeat more than once.

Compare Sam in CotG, skeptical of Daniel's claim that the Stargate was part of a network because they’d run permutations with no result, to here where she has an idea but trusts her gut that it’s right, not necessarily the evidence.

Cassandra’s cover story about being from Toronto is funny seeing as the Stargate universe is basically Space Canada.

My last three brain cells.
