This is the shop. This shop is serious business. What does this shop sell? Sketches. Headshots and chibis. Serious, serious business, kids. Too serious for some fancy introduction with ^__^ smilies and sparkles. All you need to know is that I am Ophion Paracelsus and I'm here to draw to appease you, the customer, and to turn a profit so I can whittle down my extensive wishlist at the same time. If you wanna do business, read on for the business chatter.
Super belated Happy Holidays and Happy New Years! School has been eating me alive.
The inauguration is today! Here's to hoping that Obama doesn't make me regret my voting decision! e_e

Since I feel like doing art for myself and going for other artistic endeavors, I'll be closing up slots here as I finish them. Those slots will stay closed until further notice. If you have a Solia account, though, be hopeful. I just might open up a simple sketch shop over there.

I have switched from a dull little community college to ITT Technical Institute, the school Iwanted to go to initially! I went to the orientation yesterday and I'm excited for this next year of study! I start my courses on Sept. 8th and I can't wait!
Oh, and I've changed and added new shop graphics. ;D
August 8, 2008:
O s**t SON. THE 'LYMPICS ARE ON TONIGHT!!!
Root for your home country (or whichever country you'd rather be in)!
July 17, 2008: Updated the staff listing. Still need to do some graphical sprucing.
July 01, 2008: Did a great deal of sprucing up. Added thumbnails to the headshot and chibi examples areas, as well as to the finished commissions area. Added more sections that will be updated some time before the world ends soon.
Also, well wishes to all for the notable holidays. Happy belated Canada Day to the lovelies to the north! An early Happy Independence Day for the Americans! Happy Bastille Day to the French! ....I don't see a lot of French people browsing around here, but it it'd be rude to exclude them. If I'm forgetting any holidays, Happy *insert holiday name here* for those too!
Ophion Paracelsus: The proprietor of SRS BSNS, the head-honcho, the chief of this tribe, etc etc. Takes the orders, draws the pictures, and spruces the thread up when necessary. Likes to make chit-chat and listen to a variety of music. Will kick some a** if stupid people come around. More often goes by the name of Lazuli in places outside of Gaia and is actually a woman.
Krit: SHE KICKS LOW. ...I mean, she's the shop assistant. Is free to kick the asses of the stupid if need be and reminds me to check the thread if I'm off being stupid forgetful. Is an IRL buddy, because we've known each other since 8th grade for God sakes and lived within a walking distance that I've never been arsed to walk (I have a car for that). Did I mention she kicks low? Guard your shins...and your junk.
♥ I am only doing avatar and OC art, and by avatar I mean, your Gaia avatar and your Gaia avatar only. No other avatar sites, PERIOD.
♥ Don't come here pissing and moaning about how pricey my art is. Compared to some of the ridiculously steep numbers I've seen in shops, I consider my prices to be incredibly reasonable.
♥ Don't come in here saying you wish you had the money to buy my art. That's so damn annoying.
♥ Follow the rules of the forum, kids. I don't offer porn, so don't ask for it.
♥ Don't come in here being a jackass, you'll get jackassery thrown right back at you.
♥ If your avatar is so cluttered that I can't even figure out what gender it is, you can go find someone else to draw for you. Cluttered avatars are not cool.
♥ You're free to post the art I finish for you wherever you like, but don't do something stupid like lie and say you drew it or remove my signature from the picture. Art thieves are made of fail.
♥ You're welcome to make chatter in the art shop in the meantime. Don't censor yourself, I don't care about pottymouths.
♥ Acquisition of slots is first-come, first-serve. So don't butthurt at me for your being a slowpoke.
♥ You can bump, though I would prefer that you make more chit chat instead to keep the thread up. No spamming and no annoying advertising.
♥ Rules are subject to editing and more are likely to be added as they come to mind. If you don't like that either, then baawww tough s**t.
♥ Headshots contain only one head. I'm not drawing two faces together, not even if you bribe me.
♥ It costs 2.5k extra (that's 7.5k total) to add color (monochromatic or full color) to a sketch.
♥ Only one chibi per picture. No couples or groups. You cannot bribe me to draw more than one chibi in a single picture.
♥ Monochromatic color costs 5.5k extra (That's a grand total of 15.5k).
♥ Full-color is bribe only. Bribe minimum is 20k. Bribe big, bribe hard. It motivates me. *wink wink*
♥A sketch requires a bribe minimum of 30k (pure or item(s) equivalent to the price)
♥Full or monochromatic color requires a bribe minimum of 70k (ditto).
♥ Do not PM me the order form. Post it in the thread.
♥ Do not try to order anything without using the order form, I will ignore you.
♥ Do not try to order anything that I'm not offering. Seriously, if I'm not offering it, that means I don't bloody do it.

♥ Anthros/animals. (I don't hate anthro art, I just can't draw it.)
♥ Most fan art. I guarantee you that I will retch at the sight of anything Naruto related, but feel free to ask what fandoms I will draw.
♥ Visible hairlines. If your character has slicked-back hair, I'll destroy their hairlines like whoooaaa.
♥ Bald heads. Nooooo.
(this list is subject to growth as I remember all the s**t I hate drawing)
