My First Customer

2014-11-25T20:33:00.001-08:00

I joined this site just two days ago..
the site fiverr.
In just a couple of hours of joining,
I got a customer from USA named Chris RW.. He liked so much the sample I posted on the site.

Our conversations...the other day.

“Your work is very nice, and so I may trust you with my wife's Christmas present! Please tell me in you are uncomfortable illustrating her and my dogs. What I am looking for is a funny cartoon of my wife with our two schnauzers. I will provide you pics of all three, and then I would like them drawn into a funny cartoon of some sort.”

I told him the price for the simple cartoon drawing ..and replied me..

“$15 is great! What sort of funny cartoon do you imagine drawing with the the of them? Need ideas? Thanks! !!”

I did the sketch with my imagination in just a couple of minutes.. uploaded to message area of the fiverr.. And answered me back..

“What an EXCELLENT first draft! I would like a few changes, and I really look forward to your next draft. I can see that I am going to be spending some money with you - you are very talented!”

1. I love the idea of her walking the dogs. To better reflect their personalities, I think it would be great to have her walking them with the larger of the two dogs in a pose with his nose in the air and wearing a crown (like a king). He is very "regal" and acts like a very proper king, so that would fit him.

2. The smaller dog should be uriniating on a fire hydrant with his leg hiked up. He should also be wearing a crown, but his should be tipped and almost falling off (he's much more playful and doesn't take himself so seriously).

3. If you draw clothes on the dogs, the clothes should be something like a royal cape for the bigger dog and propbably no clothes for the smaller dog (except the crown).

4. Both dogs should be drawn a little smaller in relation to my wife, and both are a bit thinner and skinnier than they are drawn in the first draft.

This is truly exciting! You are so talented - THANK YOU!

I did the revisions,..again in just an hour of revisions, here’s the result..uploaded again to message area…

“Hi and thanks! We're getting closer! I think you may have misunderstood me as i wanted him urinating on a fire hydrant. .. not a fire place. Lol. Also. .. the larger dog should have larger eyebrows and a longer beard and mustache... otherwise it's perfect. I'm happy to pay $50 for the final product:”

I answered him back..

Hope I got this now..Is this ok? And thanks for the additional price..If you will approve this now definitely , I can give you finish product earlier tomorrow or tonight.

Thanks in advance Chris,
Imanny

“I really look forward to receiving the full color version when you have it ready. I am going to recommend you to all my friends as well. I have been showing your sketches around at my office, and people are asking me for your contact information on Fiver! Thanks again!”

Chris

Just last night I did the final coloring..( I slept at 2 A.M ) and wake up at 8: A.M. today..

His comment:

Hello Imanny! Thanks for the color image! Unfortunately, the color version has a few issues. I know that you can fix them!

This is a surprise Christmas present for my wife (the woman in the drawing), and so I want to get it right. I plan to frame it for her and give it to her on Christmas morning.

#1 issue: The dogs are schnauzers, but in the color version, they just don't look like my schnauzers. I am attaching two water-color prints that I recently had done of each dog, and I am hopeful that you can make them look more like they appear in these prints. The larger dog is Toby, and the one peeing on the hydrant is Bentley.

#2 issue: My wife is a very beautiful woman, and I think the drawing of her needs a few changes. Her nose is smaller than the drawing, and she has long eyelashes. Her eyes should be slightly smaller. My wife is very small at the waist and very "endowed" up top. I would draw her with much smaller hips. Lastly, her lips are a little more feminine and "luscious" and I would like to see them drawn with more red.

I hope all of this makes sense! I am attaching a number of photos to help guide you.

Thank you!

So disappointed.. the images he gave me from other artist, is realistic one done in water color....

But still I’m planning to doing it ( not today..come on... maybe next day.. I have to focus on my other deadlines worth $100 ) I'll follow the new images he sent and to satisfy him..I know this is not the proposal he let me to do in the first place doing cartoons, right?

Tonight ( Nov.25, 9:27 P.M.) He emailed me again..Pls. continue Reading...

"I know you have had to make several revisions, but your work is very good, and I am very happy that you are revising as necessary to make sure that I am satisfied. I will be sure to leave you a very positive review, and I will also be sending my friends to you for more business! Chris"

And I did what he requested..

This morning... at 8:30 A.M. Really surprised me again of his comment..

Wow...soooooo much better! Just make my wife and the smaller dog smile, and we're done! I can pay your invoice as soon as you send it! Thanks!!!!

Chris
He really interested finishing his project to give his wife a surprise this Christmas.
To satisfy him, to what I've said before I want to make him happy too..because this is my first customer and his positive feedback will help me grow this business and also I enjoy doing it... so patience must be the first reaction in my part and TRUST.

So stay tuned for the final result of this transaction..

Nov 27 10:P.M.

This is great! I'll send invoice in the morning! Thank you! !!!

Dog Chewing Grass

2014-10-31T08:56:00.000-07:00

Dog chewing grass

Are your dogs like this? Chewing grass? Is this a problem? I don’t think so..

My dog crops grass like a cow. He eats it with gusto whenever he found some, to the extent that my friends have begun calling him, The Ruminant’.

His habit doesn’t bother me at all, since it seems to have no ill-effects on him whatsoever - although, when I’m standing outside in the cold waiting for him to relieve himself during one of his infrequent small-hours toilet calls (normally his timing is much more considerate), it’s hard not to hop impatiently from foot to foot while he enthusiastically tears out the mandatory five to seven mouthfuls of grass, chews thoroughly, and swallows, instead of just getting on with the task at hand.

Unless your dog’s digestion is suffering unwanted upheavals from his grass-eating habit, it’s not really a problem. Dogs have been eating grass since the dawn of time (or at least, of the species) with few ill-effects, aside from the odd bout of vomiting - and really, this is one of those things that seems to bother owners a lot more than their dogs; most dogs, will simply re-ingest the vomits and go about their day unfazed.

Truthfully, nobody really knows why dogs eat grass. There are a variety of theories as to why animals that are widely regarded as carnivores would willingly consume moderate quantities of vegetation. One of said theories pertains to the fact that dogs are not, actually, carnivores. They’re omnivores, which literally means, “eat anything”.

This theory postulates that the modern-day dog eats grass in a deliberate attempt to supplement his diet with nutrients that are missing from his daily meals. The main crux, thrust, and gist of this argument centers around the idea that dogs, as omnivorous animals, are eating too much meat and need to balance this out with some greenery on the side, much as you or I might crave a nice tart salad to go with our steak.

If you ask me, this is nonsense.

First of all, most of us feed our dogs primarily on kibble, which contains the full spectrum of fully-absorbable nutrients that dogs require (or at least, high quality kibble does; I can’t vouch for the quality of supermarket-brand dog food). If you’re feeding your dog on meat alone, whether canned or fresh, there may be some substance to this theory – dogs need a wide range of vitamins and minerals for optimum health, most of which are not contained within fresh meat.

It’s true that canned meat has some added nutrients; the main problem with canned food is that it’s too soft and jelly-like to maintain healthy teeth and bowels. Dogs fed primarily on canned food are far more prone to developing dental disease at a relatively early age (not to mention an increased incidence of constipation and flatulence, from the lack of fiber and roughage).

As far as dog food goes, unless your dog’s on a specific, prescribed diet, kibble should constitute the main part of his diet – you can add a few spoonfuls of canned meat for variety and temptation, if you like.

Have Fun with your Dogs

If you are a dog lover then probably you are aware of the fact that not all dogs born equal.

This means that while other types of dog lead, others just seem to gladly follow instructions or commands from their masters. In relation to this, not all dogs are known to respond perfectly the same when it comes to dog training sessions.

A lot of individuals love dogs, but are afraid of owning one. In this article, we go over some of the challenges faced in dog training, and why it isn't as difficult as it seems.

Your dog will definitely be more obedient and good on your walks and other outings.

It can be very embarrassing to have a dog who is anything less than obedient,

especially in public. When your canine pal engages in bad behavior or is generally not obedient, it is a frustrating problem that you definitely need to correct.

You'll be happy to learn that there are many good, experienced professionals

who are prepared to handle your dog's obedience problems and help you

in learning how to continue your dog's training at home.

There are many benefits of having dogs at home, as they can have a very beneficial impression on our lives. No doubt, having dogs or pets requires double the amount of regular cleaning, spending, and extra appointments with the doctors and vets.

However, caring for pets make you responsible, organized, loving and tender.

It also allows you to connect emotionally, not only with the pet, but also with fellow humans. If pet dogs can offer us so much happiness, we ought to please them with thoughtful chosen pet gifts.

Generally, there are wide varieties of gifts, such as pet toys, treats,

leashes and collars, bath products, beddings, pet clothing,
first aid kits and grooming items.
