[announcements]

[07/27/09] - OPEN. God that took forever sorry :C
[06/30/09] - Revamping layout, soon to reopen again.
[07/19/08] - Updated the samples
[05/05/08] - Computer's broken. Still have access to the internet, but on a super slow computer that has no tablet / drawing programs. Actually, it was just messing with me.
[03/17/08] - Spring Break is here, meaning more time to draw, but also more time for doing scholarships. I'm busy, so please be patient if I'm going slow! D: Also, added a new rule -- Don't order if slots are closed! Come on, guys, srsly
[02/24/08] - HALF A YEAR LATER, open again. I'll be going slower since I'm still in school. 9 9
[09/29/07] - Nothing new, but the "soon" in the last announcement is incorrect. College applications will be eating up my free time until November, and even then I'll have schoolwork. ):
[09/11/07] - COMPUTER FIXED. Finally. X( I'll reopen the shop soon...
[07/28/07] - Due to serious computer issues, shop is temporarily closed.
[07/16/07] - Shop opened

[rules]

>> Follow the rules that aren't mine - meaning the Gaia ToS and forum rules.
>> Use the order form, and only order when slots are open, obviously.
>> Feel free to PM me if you have a question, want something changed in your picture, etc. I won't be offended if you tell me I screwed up.
>> Please don't rush me. I usually draw pretty fast once I get started. If it takes me a while to get started, I probably have a block. :/
>> Don't quote any of the first posts.

[info]

In this shop, I will be selling colored quasi-chibis, either waist-up or shoulders-up (although nobody picks shoulders). Someday I might try fullbodies with this style, now that I've learned how to draw legs. I might also add more super-deformed styles later.

The lifespan of this shop has been dangerously inconsistent, mostly due to computer problems and school. I'm hoping to keep it going all summer, since I definitely will not have time to draw once college starts up again (learned this in my first year). I will undoubtedly spend all of the money made on Evolving Items and RIG Items because I have no cash.

About me: I'm a 19 year old girl from Southern California, and a current college student majoring in Psychology. I draw for fun, and although I would like to make some money off of my drawings, I don't think I'm at that point yet. I started drawing waaaay back when I was on Neopets, but it was Gaia where I really started to learn and improve. I thank the people who bought my crappy old art from the bottom of my heart. OTL

On to preferences:

[will draw]

>> Gaia Avatars
>> Original Characters, with good reference. I might decline to draw some OCs
>> Both Genders, but be warned, I'm better at girls and male characters might end up a little girly
>> Small Animal Companions
>> Masks and Clutter, but I'm horrible at masks. Order at your own discretion
>> Couples, but be warned, my couples poses might be uninspired. Couples cost double

[won't draw]

>> Furries, including the bird beak or puppy mask items. Ears and tails are okay
>> Mecha, because straight lines are my enemy. Order characters with mechanical parts at your own discretion
>> PG-13 Violations

Don't be afraid to ask if you aren't sure

[Soranoko]

[samples]

Look at the slots and progress section for all of my complete commissions from earlier phases of the shop. My most recent sample is shown to the right:

There are no examples for shoulders-up pictures (because nobody ever orders them), but it's easy enough to guess what those look like.

I don't draw that big, but I do tend to go over the signature size limit. If you don't have a program for resizing pictures and would like me to resize it for you, remind me and I'll send two you both the full version and the sig version.

[prices]

>> Shoulders-Up 10k
>> Waist-Up 20k
>> Couples 40k

PLEASE NOTE, after the first five commissions at these rates, I might alter the prices to make them more up-to-date with the current Gaia economy.

[Soranoko]

[order form]

Please post all order forms in the thread. Only PM me if your order has gone ignored for a few days, and you have checked the slots/progress post.

[size=16][b][color=#83F52C]ORDER[/size][/b][/color]

[b]Username:[/b] --
[b]Avatar/Character to be Drawn:[/b] link to image
[b]Picture Type:[/b] waist-up, headshot, couple
[b]Additional Details:[/b] specific pose? mood? items that MUST stay? mention them here. Also, if your character has tattoos, please describe them/list them (if Gaia tattoos)

[procedure]

>> Complete the form and post it in the thread when there is a slot open. Multiple slots can be claimed (fill out separate forms for each individual picture).
>> Send a trade with the proper amount. I'll add you to the waiting list and return the trade one time to confirm your order.
>> Once I finish, I will accept the trade and send you a watermarked/cropped version of the picture. Complete the trade to receive the full version of the picture.
>> Alternatively, if you complete the trade before I finish, then I will skip the watermarking step and complete the trade and send the picture at the same time.

I love doing freebies for people. I would do them all the time if it weren't for EIs and RIGs ; 3; So for now, people who hang out in my thread get them. C:

I'll add the previous freebies once links stop being funky

[Soranoko]

I'll get some new banners up one of these days...

[Soranoko]

Just ask if you would like to exchange links... once I get my own banner up, anyway.
