Meriko's Art Request Thread
Welcome to my art request thread. ^^ First post contains general information, second post contains art fund, third post contains information and references on characters to be drawn, and the fourth post contains artwork received.If you are amenable to the guidelines set down in this first post, see an item or item(s) that you would like to have as payment in the second post, and find something that you'd be willing to draw in the third post, please fill out the form below and post it as a reply to this thread.
Good to Know: (updated Feb 19th)
I wish to have certain editing rights to any artwork I purchase, so that I am free to re-size and cut-down in order to make thumbnails, or to add text if I wish to use it as a character reference, and such things. This is negotiable if you are not willing to allow me to do this.
I am open to receiving links to shops provided there are slots open at the time you link me. I am also open to checking out art auctions provided that the end date is within a fortnight or there is an autobuy.
I am not looking to purchase artwork with anything except for Gaia gold or items at this time. I am not looking to do art trades at this time (unless you're Eijirou). I am not open for commissions at this time (unless you're willing to overpay me to such a degree that everyone will tell you you're in-freaking-sane; we're talking early 2003 MCs).
I enjoy all sorts of media, however I am looking for a certain level of quality, so please do not offer me camera-phone photos of crayon pieces drawn on binder paper. I am open to comic strips, manga and other alternatives to single portraits. Please do not take it personally should I not wish to trade with you; I am a weird sort of picky. Thank you~ heart
