Welcome to my humble abode of art and…art! I hope my stuff appeals to you, and even if you’re not looking to commission enjoy the place anyways ^_^

General Announcement
I shall be departing on a great adventure from mid October to mid July next year, so my shoppe has seen the last of its days (in this year anyway). It's been awesome, people!
I shall be finishing the commisions that stand at the moment, but I won't be accepting any more until I return.

Pointers:
-ok. So I've started to mess around with some backgrounds now, so I suppose I can offer them for like...an extra 5k or something.... >.>; but that's cause it takes a lot of effort not that they're like, amazing or something >.>
-I LOVE drawing shounen/shoujo-ai; such pictures are actually at a discount if you continue further…! Explicit drawings I’ll consider case by case. Just as long as it’s no mind-scarring thing.
-I can draw mech to some degree
-I also LOVE drawing OCs and anthros! ^_^
...on the request that they aren't mary/gary-sue/stu OCs TwT they make my bleed on the inside.

Please:
Send me a pic of what you want your avi to look like in the order form please =3 this helps me retain accuracy and avoid the dilemma of a changing avatar heart If it's an OC you want, I prefer about three pictures, clearly showing their face, their hair style(s) and an idea of what they wear (or their outfit if they have only one)

Options:
-aside from anime style, I can also do some realism
-with or without your username slightly over the picture. I won't do this automatically unless you say you want it. It can make sure that the picture stays of you wink
-when I do watercolour, I automatically ink the picture first. If you don’t want it inked, then say so =/
-when requesting an art, if you have an idea what you want it to look like, tell me! ^_^ Things like mood, poses, angles, etc are all very easy to manipulate
-want any modifications made to the picture of the avi you sent me? Sure ^_^ just tell me in moderate detail so I don't screw it up
-want neat text like poetry or something over the picture? Sures ^_^ You can supply the words, or I can. Which means = 4 lines, maybe rhyming, and probably cryptic~ please add +500 gold if you want me to do them, otherwise adding supplied words is free ^_^
-if you request a black and white, it doesn’t have to mean black and white! The lines can be changed to a colour instead of black (it tends to look better that way). There's also gradients, where the lines are in a bunch of colours. See my banners for examples of using a gradient.

What Program Do I use?
http://www.gimp.org/
That's [pretty much] all I have to say. Go linux w00t!!1one!
Because it is all Photoshop is, but free. And less complicated (in my world), and continuously updated by user/developers! That means you always have the latest version; none of that "aw, now PS has come out with a new version, mine sucksorz sad "
Do I sound like an ad yet?
...good : P

Plus of course, my deviantART account is definetely more updated than this list, so if you wanna know just what you're looking at getting, please refer to my gallery there ^_^

HOMG WHUT?! I want to venture into the terrain of computer colouring, so now CG is available!! I'll try my best and am sure to improve steadily ;D I'll include a background suiting each piece freely, since I want more practice in these as well.
Alright! So if you want a computer coloured commission, it has to be either a) bust/headshot or b) a chibi. It doesn't matter how many people are in the pic, but please don't kill me (or your wallets) by requesting fullbody CG @__@;; Im just not there yet. Maybe later : P

Sorry guys, not offering watercolour right now. Unless you have a really really big bribe for me =/

Ordering Procedure:
1) If you have decided you want to commission, then post the order form as provided in the thread. Wait a day or so and if I haven’t responded via either quoting you or PM replying, then please send me a reminder PM ^^; Only one though. One gets the message through enough =P
2) Once I’ve confirmed the price and everything else then please send the trade for the appropriate amount. Don’t worry, I won't confirm the trade until after you have received the artwork; my rep is at stake here. Cancelling gets you to the bad place known as the blacklist.

Order Forms:

[b] [color=green] Username:[/b]
[b] Number of people:[/b]

[b]What body proportion:[/b]

Optionals: username over picture…red eyes instead of grey.
Total Cost: 9k

Payment:
I prefer pure, but there are a few items I'm looking for in particular. If you're looking to pay in part or whole in items please try to make sure theyre from this list ...or since I don't update this as much as I should, any recent donation items or stuff on my dream avis (see my profile). When paying in items, please make sure they add up the about the correct price ^_^

Art Trades:
these are very cool! I have a host of OCs to choose from, many of whom are unusual, some anthro, none straight =P If you wanna set up an art trade, don't bother using the order form, post maybe an example of your work and we can get started ^_^ what I end up giving you is more a product of how much time I have/how much I like your request....and I supose the quality of your stuff. But I try and keep that minimal =P Seriously.

Slots:
1) wolfdemon246

The Waiting List of Indefinete Size:
If you desperately want art from me (haha...yeah;; ) and I seem to always have my slots filled, this is probably why! Post your profile as normal in the thread and I'll accept then add you to the next waiting list slot. These slots don't run out! As soon as I finish one commision, I'll move it to the 'happily served customers' part, and add the next in line right away. Therefore at that point I'll contact you and you start the trade (or decline if you don't want the commish any more) and yours should be done within the week. Sounds good? Good.

Number of people / watercolour and ink or only ink / what body proportion: 2 people, only ink, fullbody
PICTURE: http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/9743/gaiarequestfin1np7.jpg <-The two characters are there.
What you’d like it to look like: Anywho, there are some pretty major changes here. You may charge extra for that, if you like. xD;
Anywho, they're two RP characters from an RP with a friend of mine, and we're looking for a picture of them in a sorta vampirey-succubusy sorta format.
So. Here's what happens to both of them:
They get devilish horns and a tail, and bat-esque wings that are relatively small. These are all a sorta murky purpleish color.
The hair lengthens for both, and their hair and eyes turn dark blue and dark green. (As in, the same color, just blue for one and green for the other.)
Convienently, the outfit is the same for both of them. xD It's a dress, black and dark blue/green (following the same pattern as the eyes), that's sorta like...ack. I'm not good at explaining this sort of thing, so I will quote my friend's description:
"A corset and a frilly sorta skirt that's cut open at the front to show the legs and the bottom of the corset."
Optionals: Monochrome'd be pretty cool~
Total Cost: 14k minus 5k plus extras...9-10k ish? xD

awesome =D I can get on that then ^_^ the wings will be an extra 100 gold so dont worry too much about that =P
so the price is therefore 9.1 k

^_^ a week from now is May 15-ish so I'll try to be done for then.
as for the monochrome, I thin Im actually going to change that in my post...since monochrome means shades of one colour. Of course I can do that, but just to make sure did you mean a multi-coloured gradient? ^^; sorry
