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 [email protected]. 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.
Any additional stipulations or limitations the listed terms that you wish to request
Whether or not you are familiar with Stargate SG-1
Who you were referred by, if anyone
Your timezone
Whether you would prefer discord or signal for real-time communication

Hello, I am also interested in Vedic astrology, learnt it from KRS and Dr. Arjun Pai and also a big Jungkook fan I saw how you relate nakshatras to events and symbolism in one's life and I wanted to share a very important and fascinating detail about Jungkook. When Jk's mother was pregnant with him she saw rain of gold and the leader of their group BTS, Namjoon (aka RM) gave him a nickname as Golden Mangne. Which means the youngest member and golden because he is good at everything, he's an all rounder, shines at everything. Then, last year he released his first solo album GOLDEN for this very reason as sort of a tribute to the symbolism of gold in his life, even in his merch he included things related to gold or symbolising gold like giving perfumes with real gold flakes in it to selected fans etc. I believe that his relation to the theme gold or golden can also be represented by his future spouse also since he has so many nakshatras in his chart directly related to gold like magha.
So, I compiled all the nakshatras that has symbolism to gold strictly acc to Dr. Arjun Pai which can hold importance in his future spouse's chart or she can embody the characteristics or themes of these nakshatras.
1. Ashwini
Its symbol is a golden chariot, ruled by Ketu.
Themes - forms of transportation, may like driving fast, youthful looking or much younger than their natural age.
2. Krittika (can be very important due to strong link with gold)
It is ruled by sun and rules directly over gold so it has significant influence on the fluctuations of gold prices globally.
Themes - mole on right chest, good consumer of food, fighter for a social cause, the spiritual warrior, very energetic.
3. Mrigashira
It is directly associated with gold, it could also related to Lord Rama chasing the golden deer at the behest of wife Sita.
Themes - very wealthy, knowledgeable or scholar, Govt. Official etc.
His snake tattoo could also be symbolic here as sacred animal for Mrigshara is female serpent.
4. Punarvasu
Directly related to gold
Themes - Courageous but cold hearted, excel in arts like poetry and writing, could love technology, love working with computers innovators or inventers, good with languages, hands and mudras (fingers are the body part associated), very strong will power, never gives up, loves white dresses, likes teaching, most self sacrificing Nakshatra, loves and fiercely protect children and animals.
5. Magha (it can be very prominent as it's Jungkook's birth nakshatra)
People rich in gold, people born in this nakshatra have prominent big nose, loves their home, love for history or historical documents, worldly power, recognition.
The form of Lord Ganesha here can be especially important, the form is known as Nritya Ganapati which means "Happy dancer". In which he appears in Golden hue complexion in dancing posture on one leg under wish fulfill tree with four hands. Nritya Ganapati is worshipped especially by dancers. We all know he is a very good dancer, I think she can be a good dancer too.
Also can be associated with his crown tattoo.
6. Uttara Phalguni
It is directly related to Gold.
Themes - charitable, kind hearted, straightforward, very ambitious, likes to lead a princely life, fitful temper
7. Hasta
Diety - Savitur name translates to Golden handed everything he touches turns to light, good with hands or designing something or magic.
Themes - good writers or articulate speakers, good humor, wit and laughter in the natives, or could be sarcastic too, childish or child like mood swings or tendencies of anger.
8. Vishakha (can be very prominent)
This nakshatra rules the Golden color itself and it is associated with gold.
Themes - success through own efforts, bright appearance, humanitarian, conquer and Vanquish their enemies, success matters to them allot, natural born leaders. (she can be self made)
9. Mula
Nirrti the diety of Ketu ruled Nakshatra mula is described to have golden locks. (her hairs can be peculiar)
Themes - faces adversity with composure, clever, successful, determined, brave, explorers, impulsive in nature, cut and destroy things that have lost their value, height of material accomplishment, thick lower lips.
7. Uttara Ashada (can be very prominent)
Directly associated with gold, it is the 21st nakshatra out of 27 or 28 nakshatra that possess traits of all the previous nakshatras.
Goodness with Ashwini, Punarvasu, and Pushya
Will power with Bharani and Anuradha
Desire with Bharani, Rohini, Mrigashira, and Ashlesha
Skillfullness with Hasta and Chitra
Forebearance with Uttara Phalguni, Vishakha and Jyeshtha
Ancestors with Bharani and Magha
Abundance with Rohini, Mrigashira, Purva Phalguni and Chitra
Summit / peak with Mula and Purva Ashada
Themes - invincible, very patient, enduring, highly righteous and responsible, very humanitarian, workaholic, this Nakshatra also represents latter Victory and they are known to have their golden period after 35 years of age.
This Nakshatra also has a hidden nakshatra in it's 4th pada that is Abhijit which is a nakshatra that is known to give Aparajit or invincible or indefeatble victory. Which aligns with his Winners never quit tattoo and the fact he refuse to lose no matter what.
8. Dhanishta (can be very prominent)
Literally means the wealthiest and is associated with gold also means the most famous, it is also related to rain so could be directly linked with Jk's mother dream about rain of gold.
It is ruled by Vasus "Gods of abundance" so therefore giver of wealth, precious stones, valuable articles, gold opulence etc.
Themes - fond of music, Charitable, wealthy, heroic, enjoys music and dance, liberal, rich, bright and young looks, talent in singing and dancing, fine arts, philanthropy, courage, prosperous, upbeat, ambitious, occult knowledge, attached to siblings.
The for of Lord Ganesha here is seated in the golden lotus.
Other nakshatras that can be important in her life are-
Bharani - Lord Ganesha is known to have golden yellow color hands in the depiction of this nakshatra.
Rohini - Lord Ganesha appears with golden yellow complexion with several ornaments.
Purva Phalguni - Lord Ganesha has golden complexion
Chitra - Related to Jewellry and Lord Ganesha has golden complexion.
While compiling these nakshatras themes like Artisans, musician, writing, twins (duality), clothes, medicines, past life, history and likes were throughout prominent.
I think she's going to be very unique and pretty also all these nakshtras tells me that she will be good at many things just like him and very stubborn too, just like him. Hohoho looks like he's going to get some competition.
Thank you for reading @shukraastro please let me know what you think about this or if you'd like to add some more things.
Hi,
I didn't know about the Golden youngest nickname I had to look it up.
So anything that has gold related to their name is mainly a theme of Hasta Nakshatra. Hasta has an influence on individuals that it connects names of natives to gold or sun because of its deity. So you will see that such people will have names/nicknames that are related to gold. Hasta's meaning is the golden hand and anything an individual touches or creates becomes gold because these people are very talented. They are very good in arts because it's a Moon ruled Nakshatra and they are prone to perfectionism because it's in Virgo. You mentioned his album Golden. I also see here themes of Hasta: Music (Moon) and the title itself again Golden. But I think here's also a connection to Rohini, because Rohini is also strongly associated with Music.
You mentioned about him being known as the Youngest. I've looked that up and he's very well known for being the most talented among the youngests of all groups which makes him the most favored one of all. This is a strong theme of Rohini. Rohini is the youngest and most favored among all her sisters. We see Rohini people always being very successful exceeding their peers. Rohini is also THE Nakshatra for music and dance along with Revati, these people have a deep love for singing and dancing. The next thing that also falls under Rohini is the perfume you mentioned. Rohini is a Nakshatra which makes individuals very specialized in things like perfumes, quality fabrics, overly expansive jewelry even with food and drinks. They love good quality food and wine - they are big foodies. These people enjoy all the luxurious things in life. Another point is his preference for clothing also matches well with Rohini. They like to wear very comfortable oversized clothes but they also don't shy away from presenting their body when they want to. And the Yoni here is the female serpent.
We always forget Revati guys, he has his Atmakaraka in Revati. She is definitely gonna have a prominent Revati in her D1 or D9 chart. Revati is the wealthiest of all Nakshatra's and is connected to rhythms/music (instruments like drums and string instruments) and dancing (the feet).
Uttara Ashadha could also be present as well as Vishakha. Uttara Ashadha is typically also an all rounder Nakshatra. Vishakha has more intense themes which we can also see in Jungkook's dark image (his style). And just like Rohini, Vishakha is also a Nakshatra which loves quality, especially in food and drinks - another foodie Nakshatra.
As for his tattoo Winners never quit this is more a theme of the Nakshatra's withing the spectrum of Chitra up to Jyeshta, that section of the Nakshatra wheel is highly competitive. Chitra is ruled by Mars - the warrior -, Swati is the fastest and aims for success - ruled by Rahu -, Vishakha is very materialistic in Libra (Venus) so they work hard to achieve success and they don't take defeat and can scheme to win in Scorpio (Mars) -, Anuradha they stick to a team and they do everything to win for their team, Jyeshta is the most competitive of them all they don't give up until they reached to top and they are self made. Jyeshta is a Nakshatra which learns to work from a very young age, they also get seperated from their family very early in life to pursue their career goals and become over achievers compared to their peers. So when it comes to winning and competitiveness the portion from Chitra to Jyeshta becomes very significant.
She could very well share some talents with him like singing or painting but she could be more private on that since he has his Darakaraka in a Ketu ruled Nakshatra, so she will be more drawn back into her privacy compared to him with his publicity and fame which is very Rahuvian. She could have Rahu involved in her spouse indicator placements.
Ashwini, could be strong but more through Ketu, she could have her Ketu in Ashwini which would make her very highly spiritual with a deepened Ketu effect.

I think Nirrti as an ftm (or genderfluid idk) is so underrated like WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THEM
first of all, we're currently on the indian ethics/morality unit in college and so my view of the riti-niriti duality is a bit skewed because vedic moral philosophy is a hot hot mess created to reinforce the status quo.
Preface over, thoughts:
I think the rejection of gender roles being equivalent to "disorder and chaos/unnatural" has many other implications because riti as a concept was used to define what was 'normal' and 'natural'. And honestly, idk if I'm on board with the idea that rejecting notions of gender is 'unnatural' esp since I do that myself. HOWEVER. I LOVE the aesthetic of the personification of chaos and disorder having zero concept of gender. and I love the aesthetic too.
so yeah my thoughts on this are a bit complicated, (as an undergraduate philo major who is majorly queer) but I do think nirriti is very underrated as it is EQUALLY necessary to keep the world going. Order and chaos, dark and light, and all that.
And if we're personifying riti and nirriti, then for the record, I think riti is also agender but in the way Janet from the good place is agender. Also some scholars think that riti was an underdeveloped idea of the concept of dharma so I also want lowkey transmasc riti

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.

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.

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.
