I've always been fond of helping other people out with their shops, from the small task of guest colorist, to the larger ones of templating whole sets of lineart or making new lineart altogether.

I finally decided if I was going to keep up my vigilante art ways I'd better make myself more available to the public. How? With this lovely thread were you can hire my services for your B/C shop!

Lineartist

I work primarily as a lineartist, I had my own shop, Carnivorous Companions, for about 4 years, and did almost all of the lineart from the basic stages to the event pets. I also work for a number of years as one of the primary lineartists at Digi-Nation, which hosted a vast number of digimon-based adoptables, many that I provided the lineart for. I consider a good set of lineart to be both highly visible and easy to edit.



Templatist

Though I wasn't always a good templatist, I found myself templating more often then actually making new lineart. For either myself of friends I have been able to play with and discover a number of different styles, from the obvious cel vs. soft shading, to just the various different styles you often see in the B/C shops. Mimicking a style is often a necessary skill in the B/C and I like to think I can match almost any style thrown at me.



Other

I'll do pretty much anything if you pay me. I love a good challenge. Banners, certs, graphics, character images or what have you. I've recently been doing an impressive amount of Dungeons and Dragons based characters for friends, and even dipped my toes into map making. Just tell me what you're thinking and we'll work something out! biggrin

All the links go to images of work I've done. So that the page isn't too image heavy and hard to load.

If you want an idea of how my art looked check out my DeviantArt account, it's the easiest way:



Lineart + Templating + Certs

Lineart
Fox Dragons
Luxray Family Portrait


Soft Shading
Soft shading is characterized by it's soft gradient look, often used in semi-realistic or realistic images. This is also my default style.
Pern Dragon Set
Cats!
Shaman Wolf
Iguanadon
Lions - Female Hair Edits
Mao Zu - Tiger Leopards

Cel Shading
Cel shading is characterized by it's hard lines, often used in cartoons.
Spirit - Stallion of the Cimarron Lineart Set
Lion King style - Outlander Mane Edits + Male Mane Edits
Cute Fluffy Dragons

I used a kind of hatching/cross-hatching look for this character as I had also made my GM a cheat sheet using a similar design like it was from one of my old high school notebooks.
DnD Character

Certs/Graphics
DnD Map I made for my friends!
Old Digimon Shop Cert
Dragon Hatchery Cert
Koala Banner
Optimus Prime Logo

Dom is pink with purple hair, but we're still in the lineart phase but she'll be really pretty when we get to the coloring.

Eye Candy!

➳Talk to me!

So if you want to hire me: pitch me the idea in the thread, or in a PM. I always like to hear your ideas before I blindly walk into an agreement. So basically I like to hear what the shop/idea is about, and then I'll decide if I'm up to the challenge! Then we can work how you want to pay for the project.

➳RL Commissions
xFor all info on that: Go HERE


I prefer Real Life commissions.
Why?

Because I have student loans I'm trying to slowly swim out of.
Also, feel free to Pm me any questions or concerns or even a quote for how much I would charge for... whatever you want. XD


➳Platinum/Small bits of Soul

I have long since stopped caring about Gaia's marketplace or the items within it. So currency on this website means nothing to me.
That said, I should at least give an option to use your patinum ar what have you. But it's been a while and I don't know what anything is worth anymore on this site, so you might need to bare with me while we work out the details, I'm still used to the gaia gold system which is long since past.

Generally things are priced based on their difficulty on number of items needed. For example if you would like me to template a set of 3 pets, easy that can be done at a pretty low price. 5 pets a slight bit more. Make some familairs for your shop that's not too bad. Make a whole new set of lineart, with templates, that's generally more involved so that'll be more complicated, also's what critters will they be? Is it a chibi bunny or a massive 6 winged dragon, more complex. You can see how everything is on a scale.


So no harm in asking, I don't bite and I love hashing things out and trying to make it work. I've often brainstormed with people with just some basic concepts and ideas for shops, so don't be afraid to throw out your thoughts and we can figure it out.

[Brittlebear]

The bumping contest was a fun idea, and some people actually did it! Good on you guys! I am going to leave this post, but more for historical purposes as I will no longer be using this as an incentive for free art. Good job to anyone who made it! That was a lot of posting!


500 bumps: 1 piece of free lineart! biggrin

1000 bumps: Lineart + template O.O


These prizes can be interchanged with something else if you'd rather I template something or work on your banners or whatever you can ask and I'll consider it.
(I'm a push-over so just asking will probably be enough to sway me if it's not outrageous)

Be mindful! these prizes don't just stop at 1000, they reset at that point!

Basically, I'm trying to make it possible for someone to make their own shop's worth of lineart if they just bump a LOT.



Example:
How someone would win a full 6 piece set

500 bumps: Child stage (female) Lineart
1000 bumps: Teen stage (female) Lineart + Template
1500 bumps: Child stage (female) Template
2000 bumps: Adult stage (female) Lineart + Templates
2500 bumps: Child stage (male) Lineart
3000 bumps: Teen stage (male) Lineart + Template
3500 bumps: Child stage (male) Template
4000 bumps: Adult stage (male) Lineart + Template


Total: Child, Teen, and Adult stages (female + male) Lineart + Template


Prize Winners:
I--LiveWire--I - 7 pieces of lineart + templates

Tenko72 - Templates on pony + merpony
+
Himura Rikuo -
Lovebird lineart
