+:Welcome!:+

Heyy, and welcome to Nicolaos Script. <3 This is just a beginning art shop, so please be nice. Stay, bump and talk all you like. :]
Btw, this is just a mule account I started with a friend for the sole purpose of this shop. My real account is Department Of Words


+:Shop status:+

+:Open/Closed/Full/Hiatus/Bribe only:+

+:Rules:+

Ehhh, since I'm a lazy bum, I took these rules and altered them from my friend Starwonders.... Btw star? this is D.O.W.... I'm being lazy ok? Actually.... I basically took the whole out look of her shop... well, if you want me to change it dear, just say the word, k luv?

1. Don't be rude.
I please ask of you not to be rude, I don't bite, I promise! So I ask of you not to as well. It'll take a lot of piss me off, but really, you don't want to see me really mad. :]

2. Please do not ask constantly about the request.
I, like most people, have a life. (believe it or not..) I have school, and tons of homework, so please, do not rush me. If you constantly (meaning more than 4 times a week) ask me if your request is done yet, I'll bump you to the bottom of the list and do your request last.
However, this does not apply to people asking once or twice just to be sure, I'm fine with that. (since I do admit, I'll lose track sometimes.) Just, I beg of you, don't bug me constantly.

3. Please PM AND post all your orders.
It's very easy for me to miss an order if it's posted here, (I'm terribly blind... X_x;.) So please PM them if you don't wish to be left there for three weeks until I find you. However, please also post it, just to keep this thread alive. XD (Yes, I'm that sad.)

4. Do not beg, nor complain.
No begging please, if I see you begging for anything, I'll just ignore you. Also, if you don't like my art and/or think it's over priced, you don't have to buy it. Nuf said.

5. Not satisfied? Let's work something out.
I try to please people as much as possible, the reason I opened a shop was mostly to improve, so if you're not satisfied with my art, talk to me. I'll try my best to alter whatever you don't like. ^^
Note: I will not refund, I work very hard on these, they take time too, so no refunds ok?

6. No stealing.
People who steal art really make me sad. Really, it's not even about the gold, it's the fact that, if you steal, it means you're really disrespecting the artist. My art on my DA is for my own use, if I catch you using it without permission, I'll be super pissed off. Please just don't, okay? >:[

7. If I ask What did Dai and Victor do?...
You say: “Kiss!”
That's very simple.. one word okay? On the request for there is a part that says the above.. all you have to put there is that one word. “Kiss”. This tells me that you've read the rules~ <3

8. Save the art.
Please save the art onto your own computer. I upload the art requests on image shack, therefore I dont know what'll happen to it after a while... Just to be safe, be sure to save the art. :]

[Nicolaos Zephai]

+:Samples and Prices:+

Right now I am only serving sketches. ;] (I might CG for a very heavy bribe though~)
Take a look at my finished requests. (Oldest -> newest) They're a better sample of my work. 3nodding
------------------------------------------------
Note: Alright, I do the requests in no general order... (usually I try to finish them buy number order/time of request) but sometimes I get artist's block for your piece, so I'll move on to another one first. Please don't be offended or think I forgot your request... It's just I'd rather do the art for someone I do have inspiration for, rather than forcing myself to do bad work on yours just because I want to finish it. >: I'll get around to doing everyone's, so please be patient. ^^;

Chibi - 4k (fullbody)
x

Half-body/head shot (your choice.) - 6k
x - x (Shounen-ai couple)

3/4 body/waist up/knee up (your choice.) - 8k

x

Full body - 12k (Just because I really hate drawing shoes..)
x - x

+:Finished Requests:+
Here 'll put the requests that I've finished. ^^ If you don't wish for me to put your request here, just tell me. :]

+:Couple art:+
Couples will be double of the original price. :3
And yes, Celebrity dates/orphans are considered couple. X3 (unless you want me to take it off~)
----------------------------------------------
Just to clear things up... Couples aren't just lovers, they can be friends, siblings, anything. XD and they don't have to be in a sweet love pose either, they can just be there, hanging out. X3

+:OC art:+
I am very happy to do OC art. I'm actually more confidant doing OCs than gaia avatars.. ^^; the only thing I have about OCs however is that either have a reference picture, or be VERY descriptive.

+:Bribes:+
Uhhhmmm... well, for bribes, Show me what you got. xD
this is usually how it goes:
when my slots are full/closed... bribe for a sketch: anything less than +1/2 = no.
for a light CG anything less than 3x = no.
for a full CG anything less than x5 = no.
I have the right to refuse any bribe. Bribing more or if I love your OC/avatar will give you a better chance~ <3 Also, bribing with these items items I want is a good thing.
Items I want -> Gift Of Goddess, Western Zodiac(I want a lot of these), Herme's Moon (any gen), Enchanted Book(any gen.), Demonic Anklets, White Drome Egg (any gen.), Alruna's Rose (any gen.), Elegant Black Satin Coat.

[Nicolaos Zephai]

About art trades, Yes, I am willing to do them. However, I have a few rules.
1. I will decide what type of art I draw for the trade. (chibi, head shot, waist up, or full body.) I'll be reasonable about this I promise. In most cases, I'll probably give you a choice of two.
2. Please be reasonable on your end as well, If I'm going to put full effort, I do hope you do as well.
3. I will request an OC picture. If you absolutely refuse to do OCs, then I'm sorry but I wont trade. >:
4. I only have two slots for trades.. and sadly, the trade request might take longer than my regular requests because I like to do regulars first.

2. `k u u r o n [half body] - Waiting (0% done)

+: Do's and Don'ts(Yes look here!):+

+:I'm best at:+

This section covers the things that I can draw the best. (and I do like to draw these things a lot.. ^^-)
- Hair covering half the chars face. [Like.. emo hair I guess. xD I also find guys with hair like that super hot... therefore.. yes. xD Examples? uhh... Deidara from naruto, or Jasdebi from DGM I guess? xD]
- males around the age of 16 - 24 [Yup, boys that age are nice to draw. Most come out sort of girly, but eh.. anime style guys are like that... >>]
- Accessories (especially belts. xD) [necklaces, ear rings, wrist bands, bracelets, bandages, you name it. :] I love to draw random stuff hanging off people~]
- Couples [Mhmmmhm. :3 couples are funn~ I don't mind drawing them. x3 (though I've sort of run out of pose ideas... still I can probably find some good ones to use before the day's out. :3]
- Shounen-ai [BoyxBoy. Ahahha, yes!! >X3 I love drawing SA fluff! <3 Ahhh, this goes hand in hand with the couple thing! >3< So lovely and fun to draww~ <33 *sighs* Yes.. I'm just a hopeless SA fan~ <33]

+:I will do:+

This section covers things I am willing to do, but may or may not be terribly good at.
- Anthro [Hmmmm...I really used to love drawing them when I was smaller. I can do it, just I'm probably somewhat rusty now. Please if you request an anthro, don't expect all the features to be correct.]
- Avatars [As long as it's not cluttered. I will be the judge of cluttered avis. I'll tell you if yours is too cluttered, and the usual thing Is I'll just take off some stuff. (But I'll ask you what you can't live without first.)]
- Shoujo-ai [GirlxGirl If it's even called that. O_o Ehh.. well I'm not really that into it.. but why not? limit is kissing (i'm not very good at it though), anything further look below at the will not do section.]

+:I will NOT do:+

This section covers things I will not, and probably will never draw.
- Mecha [I just can't do it.. I suck at drawing robots.. X_x; ]
- Fanart [I will not do fanart for you (because I don't think it's very personal.)... UNLESS it's a couple with your avatar or OC.]
- Beards [Yes.... I just SUCK at drawing beards.. ._.'' Please no facial hair unless you want it to look really weird. ._.' ]
- Yaoi/yuri [Well.. Like I said, Shounen-ai and Shoujo-ai is fine.. however, this is where I draw the line.. NO SEX OR EXPLICIT CONTENT. got it?]
- Naked people [Just.. just no okay? I might do it for anatomy purposes, but I will never draw a naked request, understood?]
- Sex [No! I will not draw!! just no! >_<]
- Anything that violates Gaia's ToS. [well, this is obvious... they'll kick me out. >: plus, I don't like breaking the rules. X_x]

I understand, I was reading your whole shop while I was waiting and read your little note =]
