I just wanted to let you know, that I found a nice person, who agreed to buy the books for me (well, she actually already did it), so the request is kind of closed:> But I want to thank you all for the response and offers to help out

-----------------------------------
Because my English studies are going to end this year (well, technically it will be next year), I have to write my thesis. And because I'm that crazy I got the idea to write it about the different mythological influences (most American folklore) in "Supernatural" (my literature tutor finds it a good idea - she's willing to accept everything that's not a thousand-and-first analyse of Shakespeare or Jane Austin:> ). But in order to write it I will need these two books:

The problem is, without a credit card I can buy as good as nothing...

So, the deal is, I would be very happy to draw/paint a commission for the kind person, who would accept to buy me the books in return (a commission of the same value as the books plus shipping costs of course, because they're a killer).

If you find it fair enough, just let me know:>

---------------------------------------------
Commissions (open):

Pencil portrait or half-body (more sketchy) - 10 Euro, full-body 15 Euro
Pencil portrait (more realistic and polished) - 20 Euro
Portrait in colour - between 25 - 30 Euro (depends on the style and amount of detail you choose)
Half-body (colour) - 30-40 Euro
Full Body (colour) - 30-60 Euro (and more for the complicated cases)

A nice site where you can check the price in your currency: [link]

But you have to remember, that the prices can vary depending on the style and amount of details, you want in a picture. So, the best way would be to pick an example from my gallery and write me saying 'I want to have something like this'. Then we can talk about the prices:>
