[xx I met my fate xx]

Q :: What kind of art are you looking for?
A :: I'm looking for HIGH QUALITY art in many styles. I will always be more interested in realism and less in Anime. I will only purchase chibi art if it is for an Avi.

Q :: But this picture *frantically points* is anime/chibi!
A :: I have friends who draw anime or chibi styled art. I may have gotten it from them as a gift or hired them for it. It may also be a style that is unique and detailed or it may have been extremely cheap. I don't always turn down anime artists, if you think you're special, give it a shot.

Q :: I only do traditional work, is that okay?
A :: Absolutely! I love traditional art every bit as much as digital. However it needs to be scanned and clean, not photographed and never on lined paper.

Q :: Why do you buy this art?
A :: I need art of my characters for any RP threads I'm in. As an artist I understand how it feels to have your work stolen and though many great roleplayers use images from the internet, I refuse to do so. I'd rather have art that truly reflects my characters and was done for or by me, not stolen.

Q :: Do you do art trades?
A :: Yes. Art trades are currently CLOSED. Please see the "how to apply" for details.

Q :: Do you do Auctions?
A :: No. I do not bid in auctions unless they are for my friends.

Q :: Do you do RL commissions?
A :: Sometimes, but unfortunately RL commissions are currently CLOSED. Keep in mind that I will never pay real money for AVI ART, CHIBI art, or ANIME of any kind.

Q :: Can I join the Role-plays?
A :: Sure! Every character has a link to the RP they are from. Take a look if you're interested.

I'll be rotating different characters in and out as I get sufficient art of each one. To see their journal which contains their character profile and more information about them as well as more images please click their sidebar.
═════════════════════════════════
Many people don't see the point of having customized art of their characters. They believe that a better path is to just find images on the internet. Personally I don't believe in doing that, I feel that it is stealing and I'd rather have art that truly does represent my characters. Each of my characters is different and I love art of any of them.

Please look around and feel free to ask any questions you may have. You are not limited to the characters currently being featured in this thread, if you'd rather draw another character or an avi just say so in your form. I always prefer to give artists something they'll enjoy drawing rather than something they feel obligated to draw.

Each thumbnail will link to a journal entry about the character OR a photobucket album if they don't have a journal entry. You can draw any of the characters that you wish and I'll provide you with any information you want.

NOTE: this thread is not finished yet. Some thumbnails may not yet have links. Ask for info.

All of this is the awesome art that I've gotten of my characters. Most of it is stuff that is also in the references section. If you'd like to know the name of any particular artist please let me know and I'll be happy to point you in their direction.

Featured Artist!
This month's featured artist is: Kitsu-Kay-Chan!
You can find her work here: Her shop
Works I've purchased from her:


Why I chose this artist:
Kitsu is not only extremely talented but very sweet. Her work is of a very good quality and it is consistently so. She works with you to make sure your characters come out looking right and her prices are extremely good! She could easily charge more and still get plenty of business but she remains inexpensive so that others can afford her work. I highly recommend this artist! <3

Wanna be my featured artist?
Featured artists not only get a post in this thread, they get featured in my journal here and on DA as well. I also post links to their shops in every art request in which I have permission to do so.

To be my featured artist of the month, all you have to do is have drawn for me at least twice. I choose a new artist each month based on the quality of your work. I'll let you know if you're going to be featured. ^_^

No problem. Your style isn't usually what I go for but what are your prices? If they're reasonable I do need references for some characters anyway. ^_^
