Welcome to Gaia! ::


January 19, 2017: Thread is still open to art trades and freebies. Please use form(s) below. If confused, ask in thread for clarification.

July 9, 2016: Ew, why is there a fb share page? Anyways, to those of you reading the first post of this thread, both freebie and AT slots are still open and will continue to be open until I edit the thread's title. Don't be shy, let's help each other out with practice!
Current count since May = freeb:2, AT:1

May 29, 2016: Opening 1 slot (likely portrait/head shot) for outsider freebie and 1 slot for art trade (likely uncoloured).

For the freebie, please post 1 or 2 characters/avatars that you would like drawn using the following form:
[size=24][b](ʘ言ʘ ){what about me?)[/b][/size]
[size=10][b]Character/avatar name:[/b] Name(s) of the character(s)/avatar(s) you are requesting to be drawn.
[b]Reference image:[/b] Please post either a thumbnail of the character (of its head is fine) or use the spoilers for larger images. Do not link me to your character hub unless I specifically ask you.[/size]

*Note: I do not draw animals.

For the AT, please post 1 or 2 characters/avatars that you would like to be drawn (and don't mind getting messed up!) using the following form:
[size=24][b]ヽ༼ ಠ益ಠ ༽ノ{PAPER LOOK HERE)[/b][/size]
[size=10][b]Character/avatar name:[/b] Name(s) of the character(s)/avatar(s) you are requesting to be drawn.
[b]Reference image:[/b] Please post either a thumbnail of the character (of its head is fine) or use the spoilers for larger images. Do not link me to your character hub unless I specifically ask you.
[b]Swapping:[/b] Will we be swapping head/bust/waist etc type shots? Please consider that on my end it will be an uncoloured sketch or lines...offer appropriately.
[b]My examples:[/b] This is optional. If you would like to showcase some of your works, you are more than welcomed to (use spoilers if thumbnails are not available). If you just want to experiment, that's cool too. Should you decide to show examples, you may also ask me to show mine since most of the images on the first page is quite dated. If you don't show any examples, then woohoo surprise for the both of us!
[b]I'd like to draw:[/b] Who/what would you like to draw? I have some art requests listed on the first page, but you can also draw one of my regulars (Chansey, Yoshi, Striker, nocte, Monday, Peaches, Dramatica, Holmgeir, etc). If you're not sure or are looking for something specific you can state that and I'll try to search something up for you![/size]

**Note: I will not be rejecting any AT offers based on your style/technique/experience because I have no idea how mine will turn out either LOL. If I do decline, it may be that I think/know that I cannot draw your character/avatar...but you can always refer me to other ones!!
I do not draw couples/group shots and will not draw anything that appears too sexualized(???) or gory.

        Nathanael: WHO SAID YOU COULD CALL ME THAT? And who's bad at -

        Xen: /covers Nate's mouth
        I hope everyone is taking some time off to relax! And that you all have had a good or reasonably decent year. If not, hey, we have a new year and I'm sure it'll make up for it! ^ u ^

                    September 17: Thread is still partially under construction, but open to the public. I apologize for it's unattractiveness ; ;
                    AND THANK YOU Nerpin FOR REALLOCATING THE THREAD HERE =D
                    Please be sure to sign our guest book located here

                    September 26: I'll now be offering pixel thingies XD These may either be dolls (maybe I'll even use my tachibase xD) or random gifs (fairly small size), ie blinking blob xD. For samples check the first and second page of my old thread

                    September 28: Thread has it's own dragon-gaian!

                    ["Mon. Sept 28, 2009: Chemicult"]hmmm....rawr......what to eat.....
                    dragon eats......dragonfruit? and small villages

                    I shall protect the thread. and if I see any villains. I just blow some dragon fire and burning_eyes go the bad peoples. mrgreen


                    September 30: Hey guys, I know I haven't been on much but I'll try to take requests every so often. I don't have gimp on me yet, so I might end up using sumopaint. Anyways, right now I'm in the mood for drawing an android, so if you have an android oc, please post down a request. Make sure you get the right form though!

                    October 2: As of yesterday, I can make bad buttons! XD OTL Feel free to ask for one if it's one of the simpler kinds like this.

                    October 4: We have baby dragon eggs! Well...two atm. >u< Also, as of yesterday I've developed two new doll bases, so I might end up using those as for what the individual thread characters offer.

                    December 29: I redid the layout so that the banners no longer say, "I'll make this prettier later...I hope".
                    Baby dragons hatched a while ago (like 2-3 months ago? XD) And there's random doodles and dolls all over the place...OTL
                    I'm willing to do headshots but they'll be semi-realism. To be considered, you must post at least 15x in this thread OR someone (excluding yourself) approves of your request. Hair is not my friend, keep that in mind when requesting. Oh, and there's no form for the request, just write it in 59B56D colour size 14 bold.

                    TWENTYTEN! 2010
                    January 2: I finally scanned my chibi version of the head ocs of this thread. Still no name for Guy#1 though XD

                    January 3: quote="Chansey with a chainsaw"It can be Tetris Bloc Thursday at DF. rofl <3/quote
                    And so it shall be done. Jan 7th be sure to get out your best Tetris gear cool

                    January 8: So, only Chansey and I showed up in our ultra cool gear. Way to go guys, way to go. /f3

                    April 26: Hey guys look at what yoshi drew for me! :'D
                    Isn't it precious? ; A ;
                    Anyways, as you can probably tell, I haven't been doodling lately. Not sure if I've lost my drive for it or something. Inspire me and who knows what I'll come up with!

                    May 5: I finished my first freebie in ages! I just couldn't figure out where to post it since the spot where I thought completed works would be seems to be rather crowded XD
                    I also started looking at more vector work and so my mindset is oriented towards that type of digital art rather than digital painting. If you'd rather have me switch over, let me know XD

                    May 15: Dude/dudettes, this is getting freaking ridiculous! Posting on Gaia is so unpredictable for me right now. At times it's at a normal pace, at others (majority of the time now) it makes me ages to load the screen. Same with imagehosting sites...idk why but tinypic doesn't want to work on me, and pb takes a while as does imageshack...not cool man, not cool. If you can't manage to catch me on Gaia, you can try pming me to see if we're on any other site together (Kinsaki, Menewsha, Ernya, KofK; I think I go by City Rain for all those...just let me know who you are on Gaia or w/e)
                    OH WAIT. I THINK THE PROBLEM'S SOLVED...FOR NOW

                    June 13: So problem not solved. I've probably had my laptop reformatted twice since the last update OTL I'd love to get a new laptop, but that costs money, and well...tuition is kinda pricey >.>; I've been wanting to get a tablet again, but probably won't since drawing is more like a pastime thing for me. My mouse still works, so it's all good >.<
                    One last thing: I'm now working, so I don't have as much spare time...like I actually get home late ; A ;

                    Aug 12: Finally redoing the layout. Not what I had planned in terms of visuals, but I guess it's decent =/

                    Aug 31: Redid layout once more. Possibly getting ready for thread anniversary too?


                    Sept 8: Guy#1 now has a first name! surprised (His name is Nathanael~)

                    Sept 18: Finished giving out the anniversary cupcakes. If I missed you, please let me know!

                    Dec 23: New simple layout because I'm too lazy to make an elaborate one :'D. say goodbye is what I call it cool

                    July 31, 2011: WOW, it's been this long since I've updated? Oh man, so today it appears that we've reached the "popular" thread status with hitting the big 100 thread votes. YAY THREAD! /hugsnkisses Now, just to make sure we don't get as many dislikes...oh boy o u o;;;;;;

                    MARCH 9/12: A'ight guys here's the downlow on what's happenin' in the dfizzle. XD
                    I will now begin accepting requests, but because I'm working there's going to be a much longer wait. I have no recently completed pieces to show you, so unless you have the link to my tumblr, just expect the worst, lol.
                    To request, please make a post in this thread - main heading should be "Request" in size 24, followed by a reference image of the avatar or original character. Below can be links to three (max) alternative requests in case I don't think I can do your main request well.
                    After this post, please also pm me with either the same post message or something more intimate.

                    I do not accept couple/group requests. Trade requests will have a higher priority to regular requests.
Rules + Guidelines
*please note that this is a freebies thread and at times a request
thread as well. With this said, by no means are you allowed to
steal images, layout, original characters, etc.
*rules may be subject to change at any time.

                      ► Show common courtesy for those residing in the thread_
                      ► Hit-n-runs are fine, but don't expect anything...especially if you tell me to pm you a doodle

                      ► No quoting the first page or any large images (if you happen to quote large images, remove the img tags).
                      No posting in light colours, because it's a pain to read. I may even ignore you if you do so.
                      Disable any large flobs over 250x250 / 250x300. I know you only want to display the
                      lovely artwork, but taking up so much space for only a bit of text? That's just rude. If, however, you can justify that space with written text <excluding post style text>, then it's fine.

                      ► Try to stick around instead of pulling a no show after your first post.

                      Olive be going out with guy #1 but they're not an official couple; guy #1 doesn't feel the necessity of having to put a label on their relationship. Atm, guy #2 is being looked after Olive as a request from his grandfather. They're also attending the same college/university. Guy#1 isn't particularly comfortable with the established relationship between the two (or rather doesn't know the details of it). And now, they're stuck in this place kinda like a warehouse but not. xD

                      I'd love it if you could draw me one of the following:
                    • any of the three ocs listed under main character
                    • ME! lol, or rather the version shown to the left of this post. (doll base from ichigo-tan@dA).
                    • my sheep-princely self. There's no set design, so just go crazy~
                    • a sheep or a baby chick

                      I'm willing to do an art trade as well if you'd like. ;D
