Ericka:
Hi! I saw your portfolio. 
Can I know your rate?
I would like a portrait of my boyfriend kasi.
Like, 'yong realistic?
Can it be in gouache?

Iñigo:
Sure. Thanks.
You can see the price range here.
Sent a photo.

Ericka:
What???
Why is it so expensive???
And gouache isn't even your specialty?

Iñigo:
There are much cheaper artists.
If you don't want to, you can just find someone else.

Ericka:
What the hell?
Drawing lang naman and you're being like this?
Ang dali lang naman tapos you're asking for such a ridiculous amount?

Iñigo:
Ma'am.
You can just find another artist.
Kung namamahalan ka, wala naman akong magagawa.
Just find someone else who'll dRaW for you for free.

Iñigo:
Kung madali lang naman pala
Bakit hindi ikaw ang gumawa ng portrait ng boyfriend mo?

Ericka:
Mukha bang kaya ko?
Kaya nga kita kino-contact!

Iñigo:
Hindi mo naman pala kaya.
Sabi mo madali?

Ericka:
What the hell?
Jerk!

Can you make a comic for me?

Iñigo:
Sure.
What will it be about?

Fidel:
About me.

Iñigo:
Okay.
This will be the price range for that.
Sent a photo.

Fidel:
Wow. That's expensive.

Iñigo:
Yeah. The price can increase depending on what you want your comic to look like.

Fidel:
How about in exchange for the comic
I'll give you larger exposure?

Iñigo:
?

Fidel:
Vlogger kasi ako.
I have over a hundred thousand followers so I have a huge audience.
How about, you make me a comic and I'll promote your art?

Iñigo:
Wow. Hahaha.
No thanks.

Fidel:
Come on, man?
Lugi ka pa ba?
Drawing lang naman 'yan.
Tapos in exchange, you'll get free promotion from me?

Iñigo:
I think it's better for you to find someone else.
Thanks.

Nicodaine:
Go, there's another client but she wants the medium to be charcoal.
I hate charcoal. Mas forte mo 'yon.
Can you help me?

Iñigo:
Okay.
Send me the reference.

Nicodaine:
Thank you!
Send ko na sa email mo.
Huhu salamat, Go. 

Iñigo:
Kumusta si Tita?

Nicodaine:
Okay naman. Haha.

Iñigo:
Okay.
Gagawin ko na 'yong portrait.

Nicodaine:
Okay lang?
Baka marami kang ginagawa, ah?

Iñigo:
Maraming nag-message pero nakaka-init lang ng ulo hahaha.

Nicodaine:
Sinabi na naman nilang drawing lang naman, 'no?
Hahahahaha wala na bang bago?
Paulit-ulit na lang.

Nicodaine:
You think, we need to lower the price?

Iñigo:
Nico.
Nagpapakahirap ka sa art mo.
Since you were young, you were practicing and nourishing your skill.
You buy expensive materials.
You spend a lot of time finishing a commission.
You barely even eat or sleep.
You do commissions even during class.

Iñigo:
Tapos bababaan mo lang dahil hindi nila alam 'yong pinagdadaanan mo?

Nicodaine:
Okay. Okay.
I get it. Hahahaha.
Kalmahan mo lang, Sir.

Nicodaine:
Thanks, Go.
How can I do this without you? 

Iñigo:
Gagawin ko na 'yong portrait.
Don't think about those people.
Hindi naman nila alam 'yong pinagdadaanan mo.

Nicodaine:
Okay.
Thank you, Go. :))
