6.30.09 Sorry for my tardiness, everyone. I'll be issuing refunds to those whose avatars I absolutely can't finish soon. The artistic course of my life has altered more drastically than I gauged it would when I started up this shop! Other pursuits have taken precedence!

For the record, I'll still be finishing all Nakie Chibis, just not the regular commissions. Sorry for the inconvenience - and again for my slowness! sweatdrop

When I've finished all I have to do around here already, I'll be offering Nakie Chibi Characters to be sold around the site. :3 (Examples: Chibi Yoko, Chibi Yu Kanda, Chibi Ichigo... you get the idea)


12.10.08 Whoa, it's been a while, huh? I meant to update sooner but kept forgetting. Anyway,

exclaim ANNOUNCEMENT! exclaim

I'll be finishing up all the commissions I have right now, and then I'll no longer be taking regular art commissions here...at least not for a while. (If you look through the info in below posts, you'll find a link to $$$ commission info on my other sites.)

I'm also not taking any new orders until I have all the current orders completed.
Once they're all done, I'll start taking Chibi orders again. mrgreen

So don't order anything until I announce the re-opening!

And to everyone who placed an order several months ago, I'm sorry it's taking so long! gonk


9.19.08 I decided a few things about my life and drawing, so I made a few changes to this shop.

First, the pricing of normal commissions increased. The price increase won't affect anyone who's already paid, of course. The rest of you, never fear! For now there are cheap alternatives -- Naked Chibis! I will now be doing those for a relatively low price, so feel free to order now~! Go to the Pricing post for samples!

Also, I decided I'll finish orders that are easiest to finish first, just to keep things moving. But I won't keep putting off more complex orders, I assure you.

7.23.08 Life is a little hectic for me, trying to start my living as a designer while other things happen, and I maintain those sites of mine... ♥ But I continue to chug along with your requests! whee

I have now added extra slots on the queue! In order to reserve a slot on the Second or Third tier, you have to pay an extra amount (500 for second tier, 1100 for third). Not too bad, right?

6.20.08 The grand addition of pixel sprites for you to enjoy! Happy Veggies returns!
Just so you know, I had a thing called "Happy Veggies" here a few years ago. It's been totally revitalized now!

6.14.08 Grand Opening! Tell your friends! The first three are free~!

3. Rules

Please follow them thoroughly.

◊ Commissions may take 1-3 weeks to complete depending on the request's complexity/life circumstances. I might be slow, but I guarantee quality.
♦ Don't claim any of my work as your own. I will find you.
◊ Don't claim any of my pixel works and put them in your sig unless you bought them directly from me. If you find that somebody's been hoarding/selling/reselling my work, don't hesitate to let me know.
♦ Do not order when everything is full. You can't "reserve a slot". I'll ignore requests made when slots are full.
◊ Save and upload images and sprite dolls that you want to display to your own server/webspace (such as Photobucket).
♦ Do not advertise in this thread. If you want to be link traded, PM me.
◊ Do not post in ways to screw up the thread (double posting, spamming, flaming, stretching).
♦ Don't complain about my artwork in this thread (or elsewhere, for that matter). If you don't like it, you may feel free to visit one of my lovely links or another minishop in this forum.
◊ Don't forget the Gaia Terms of Service.

The rules and prices may change anytime as I see fit. I may also refuse to create art for you if I've found you've been breaking these or any others' rules, or if your request isn't suitable.

For the record, I won't draw anything vulgar, violent, or very crude relating to this website.

Commissions are also first-come, first-served. No extended waiting lists. There are lists already, y'know.

[ValorStar]

4. Pricing

I draw:

♥♥ Currently Nakie Chibis only! ♥♥

♥ Gaia avatars ♥
♥ Original characters (anthros/animals included) ♥
♥ Groups of up to three characters ♥
♥ Couples (het/homo) ♥
♥ Headshots ♥
♥ Busts ♥

My only stipulation (besides the above-stated restrictions) is that you must post full picture reference of your original characters or your avatar pairings immediately upon picture request.
Under special circumstances, I might draw fanart of a TV/anime series for you. Try your luck sometimes. (If you do this, I'll also need reference/the series's name.)
I can also anthro-nize your avatar for you. :3

Nakie Chibi Commissions!!



Adorable! Would you like a color chibi like these of your avatar or character?
400G for a single chibi! +100G for additional characters!
Just tell me what you'd like them to be doing, and I'll draw them! 3nodding

The Tier List doesn't apply to Chibis!

(I can provide final chibis in many sizes! Also, I can do shaded versions. The letters on their tummies are the first letters of their names - I won't be adding them to these commissions, unless you want. Also also, the characters pictures are from my webcomic, LOVEFEAST. heart )

Regular Commissions!

For non-chibi commissions, which are a higher price but good quality.

We can negotiate prices for something other than these (special pose, backgrounds added, et cetera) in the thread.
I may also accept certain items of equal value to these prices from time to time. Just tell me what you've got to offer (or check my items wishlist in my profile, or down below)!

Pixel Pricing: See next post!

[ValorStar]

5. Pixels

Happy Veggies!
Not just Veggies, but Fruits and other cute things, too!


Price: 90G each
Save when you buy in bulk! Order these five together and get a group discount - 380G for a set!

If you place them in your sig, it'd be nice if you also linked them back to this shop!

Coming soon: more fruits, and special 4th of July Happy Banana Popsicle! Cool down those summer days!

Umbris
Now you can own your own cute little maintainer of Purgatory! Umbris, known as the assistant of Angels, are a cute aspect of my (actually mature) in-progress webcomic, LOVEFEAST. I decided I'd sell sprites of them for fun!


Price: 200G each


Price: 150G each (big), 30G each (small)

If you place them in your sig, it'd also be nice if you link back to my comic - but only if you're old enough to read it!

Coming soon: more colors!

Little Avatar Edits!

Want your avatar to be holding an Umbri or a Veggie?
For a mere additional 250G and a provided picture of your avatar, I can put Umbris on your head or Veggies in your hand!

Coming eventually!

7. How to Order

Commissions:

You must pay me in full before I begin your picture.
Start the trade after you post your order. Send all trades to "ValorStar".
If I am unable to complete it for whatever reason, I will refund you completely.

♦ Post your order in this thread only - do not PM it.

Copy the following and post it with your modified request!

[color=violet][size=16]
[b]Name:[/b] (your Gaia username)
[b]Image Type: [/b] (Only Nakie Chibis now.)
[b]Image Form:[/b] (Full Color, unless you want something else?)
[b]# of Characters:[/b] (1 / 2 / 3 / Custom)
[b]References:[/b] (Include links to pictures of the avatar(s)/character(s) you want drawn.)
[b]Details:[/b] (Use this to request a particular action or pose, or to request more than three characters, or tell me what you think I need to know in order to successfully complete the picture.)
[b]Total G:[/b] (Post the correct amount of Gold this request + your tiers adds up to, unless you're not sure.)
[/size][/color]

When your picture is completed, I will PM it to you.

As I mentioned earlier, commissions may take up to 1.5 weeks depending on complexity. (Simple avatar drawings shouldn't take this long.)
I also won't take on more than five requests at a time, and will try to complete them in the order they were received.

If you must cancel, let me know and I'll also refund you. Don't be afraid!

Pixel Dolls:

Once again, don't PM your order. Post it here.

[color=#4ECAFE][size=16]
[b]Name:[/b] (Your Gaia username)
[b]Items:[/b] (List the names and/or colors of the Pixel you want, and their quantities, EG: Blue Umbri x 2.)
[b]Avatar Edit?:[/b] (Yes/No. Tell me if you want one or more of them edited onto your avatar. If you've got a specific avatar, link to a picture of it!)
[b]Total G:[/b] (Add up the price of your Pixels and/or Avi Edit!)
[/size][/color]

Remember, don't redistribute the pixels. Also, save and upload them to your own webspace/host.

I will PM you the pixels after payment ASAP! (Will take longer if you request an Avatar Edit.)

If you order both commissions and pixels, please use both separate forms. Makes it easier for me!

9. Special Note

I, ValorStar, am known as Senshuu in other places.
I'm a recent graduate of O'More College of Design with a BFA in Visual Communications. Apart from my passion for design and illustration, I have a particular affinity for animation and interactive web design.
I may be found on this name in such places as deviantArt, Sheezyart, y!, Manga Revolution, Talent Database, and more.

There are my webcomics and portfolios, which can be found at

Senshuu Dot Com

or

Jessica Cantlope Dot Com

If you look into those links, you'll probably find my interests.

This little shop here's a one-woman show, and it's pretty neat so far.
I tend to sleep during the day and be up very late at night sometimes. If you would bump this thread for me during the daytime when you're not busy, that would be very nice.

$$$ Commissions

I also do commissions of higher quality for cash. If you're interested in that, you could check out my personal commissions page and e-mail me about it. Many of my stipulations are lifted through this method.


Other Accounts

If you ever see any of these other accounts running around on this site (doubtful you will, but MAYBE), they are also me.

♥ Alpha Umbra ♥

♥WISHLIST♥

I'm on a sempiternal quest for certain black-colored items. Since I also give art for items, you can give me any of these (or simply name your price if you're just getting rid of something). This is mostly just a reminder for myself, however.

◊ Nitemare Headband ♦ Black Ink (if that's acquirable from other people) ◊ Bat Wings Back Tattoo ♦ Bat Wings Arm Tattoo ◊ Demonic Anklets ♦ Noir VOX Jacket ◊ Elegant Black Satin Coat ♦ Black Tuxedo Jacket ◊ Onyx Milady Bodice ♦

Also, the white versions of these things and others, where they exist.

[ValorStar]

10. Links

I accept link trades! PM me or post in the thread with your banner and link! (Or just your link, if you don't have a banner.)




(NOTE: I reserve the right to refuse link requests.)
