Welcome to Roses Are Red, a.k.a. Trigona' and Iris' art shop! -insert applause- Here, we strive to give you quality art at affordable prices! Or something like that… Mostly, that's your opinion, but if you agree then that's our goal! Now, if you please proceed to the next few posts, we'll show you what we can do.…

Artists' Statuses
Iris: Open // Hiatus // Full
Countess: Open // Hiatus // Full

June 3rd, 2008 - Roses Are Red is open!
June 4th, 2008 - What's this? We now have CONTESTS?!
July 18th, 2008 - Iris is in Hawaii so she won't be online much. She also has no coloured pencils or a scanner so her art won't get to you by at least the 30th
August 8, 2008 - Iris is back from Hawaii so her drawings won't be coming so late. Unfortunately, Countess doesn't have a scanner anymore so her drawings will be coming later....
February 8, 2009 - Countess is very bored, but still scannerless. Fortunately, I have a friend with a scanner who can do it for me but it'll take a little longer to get the art up. Commissions are very much wanted.
March 20, 2009 - Tessa has lowered her prices and updated her section. Iris is... around
March 30, 2009 - Tessa is OFFICIALLY on hiatus. I have way too much stuff to do. Iris is still open for commission though.
April 16, 2009 - Tessa's hiatus is OVER! She has completely revamped her section, complete with NEW STYLES, NEW EXAMPLES, and NEW PRICES!! Check it out!
April 22, 2009 - Yesterday (4/21/09), Iris was chosen as the featured avi! Hooray! Give her some love.
April 23, 2008 - Okay, GUYS! I realize that Iris is the featured avi again today and therefore more interesting than me, but SERIOUSLY she's FULL. Geeze...
April 24, 2009 - Countess has updated her form to be more clear. New rules have also been added to clarify some things. Also, IRIS IS FULL so stop ordering from her!! My god.
April 24, 2009 - Since most of Iris' commissions didn't use a form and she couldn't even find their orders in her overflowing inbox, she has decided to not do them and is now open. Yes, Iris is open again.
April 25, 2009 - Iris is full again. Don't order anything else from her. Also, a few new rules and contests have been added so be sure to check them out. And remember, there's no "L" in "Countess"
April 28, 2009 - Iris has updated her examples, bumped up her prices, and we are officially full!Woo!
May 2, 2009 - HEY, EVERYONE!! We're looking to rename the shop. We have a few ideas so far but we need more. After we get about 10 names, we'll put them in a poll and let you choose! Whoever suggested the winning name gets a freebie. After the name is chosen, we'll be holding a banner contest: Whoever makes the best banner gets a freebie!
May 4, 2009 - All info on the "Rename the Shop" contest can be found in the 7th post
May 16, 2009 - We've decided that for our year anniversary, we'll just be opening a whole new shop! It will be angel/demon themed so we'll probably call it "Angels and Demons" but we do like the whole we're-lesbians-but-not-really idea that can come with Forbidden Kiss so we also want to play with that.
In other news, since we're going to need to work really hard in order to get the new shop up by the first or second week of June all orders will be put on hold until the new shop is open. Sorry, guys, that's just how it has to be.
So the rename the shop contest is over. Drunken Hell Fire Monkey wins. You know what that means? IT'S TIME TO MAKE US BANNERS!!! All info can be found in the 7th post.
May 28, 2009 - Happy Prom everyone!! In more important news, there's only 1 day left to enter the banner contest so if you're not Amaya_uchiha1, hurry up and get your banners in! All info can be found in the 7th post.
May 30, 2009 - The banner contest is officially OVER! Woo! Anyway, the winners are Amaya_uchiha1 and laugh Now Die Later. More details can be found on page 135!

~*Trigona*~

Hi! I'm Trigona but you can call me Trigg, Triggy, Tessa, or Countess.

So what exactly do I do? I draw, of course. But this is how I do it:
1. I accept you, you send me your payment. I accept half the trade. Half the trade, not half your money. You don't accept yet.
2. I sketch you out very roughly, resketch it, and clean it up.
3. I colour, outline, and sign.
4. Libyethin scans your art, edits it with Photoshop, and puts it on my photobucket. I scan your art, put it on PB, autofix it, crop it, and resize it so it's not obnoxiously big.
5. I PM you asking if you want a watermark. If you do, I send you one. If you don't...
6. You accept the trade, I send you the final piece and accept the trade. You save the piece to your computer.
7. You come back for more! smile

Will Do
Colour
Couples
Fan Art
Dream Avis
OC's with reference images
Nudity
Wings but I prefer to draw bat/angel wings instead of angel/demonbow and dark wings
Cat anthro/Anything with a small muzzle/beak
Mostly anything that's not on won't do's.

Won't Do
Wild Things
Bullet Belts
Clutter
Garlic Dress

Bribe Only
Mecha
Yaoi/Yuri
Complicated hand poses
Griffins
Backgrounds, although a few simple colours is fine
Gothic Veil
Groups
Animal legs of 4 (Bipeds are fine)
Anthros with larger muzzles (i.e. dogs, wolves, etc)
Large lettering like in my standard bust example
Large beasties

Styles & Examples
(Click for full size)
**Note: Most of these are freebies so I did them in 1 or 2 days. For commissions, I take my time and make sure everything's perfect.

Chibi
Cute little chibis. I just recently started doing them so I'm still experimenting with eye styles and body shapes. I suggest you specify if you want me to experiment or not, because otherwise I probably will.

Single - 2k


Couple - 4k

Standard
My oldest style. Proportional art, so it's probably the hardest to do. Some of the examples look a bit like Long and Lean but that's cause they're freebies. Yours won't be like that.

Headshots - Coloured (marker): 2k; Coloured (pencil): 3k


Bust - 5k


Half-body - 7k


Knee-up - 9k


Fullbody - 11k


Couple - Double the style (ex. Couple full = 22k)

Long 'n' Lean (LnL)
This style has very long necks, very large busts, very slim waists, very wide hips, and very long limbs. Unless you're a guy; then you're just skinny.

Bust - 3k


Half body - 5k


Knee-up - 7k


Fullbody - 8k


Couple - Again, double it (ex. Couple knee-up = 14k)

You like what you see? Good. Then fill out this form, post it, and I will tell you if I'll draw you or not. And write your stuff after the "[ / b ]" sign.

Style (Chibi, Standard, LnL): LnL

Mood: Flirty
Anything else?: No whip.
Total: 8k + tip

If I accept, send the trade with your payment. I'll accept half and accept the other half when I'm done. Then, I send you a watermark, you accept the trade, and I send you the unmarked piece.

Waiting List
None! Woo!

Groups for Uploading
Since Libyethin is scanning my art for me, I have to upload in bulk. This list shows who will be uploaded in the order of uploading. It's based on what page you're drawn on in my sketchbook, not where you are on the waiting list.

By the time I finish another couple of pieces, I'll be at my dad's house and have my own scanner, so no more groups for now!

Important Information
-PM all entries to Trigona.
-Enter as many times as you want.
-Must include the shop title (Angels and Demons) and that it's a joint art thread.
-You can use our avis, text, appropriate pictures, but not our art. We'll have a separate banner contest in the new shop where art can be used.

Judging
We will judge the banners on four scales of 1-5, one being the lowest the five the highest. The scales are as follows:
arrow Creativity
arrow Size
arrow Aesthetic Appeal
arrow Readability
Combined, the highest score is a 40. We will chose the banners with the highest overall total. If there's a tie, we will pick our favourite and the runner up will also win a freebie of their choice under 6k.

~*Notes*~

-We pretty much have a good cop, bad cop system going on. Iris is naturally more of a good cop which leaves Countess to be the bad cop, but only if you're being a total noob. Beware!
-Both artists like art and will perform art trades.
-Countess is better with animals, but Iris will try.
-We LOVE gold.
-Bribes are nice cool
-Also keep in mind that both artists have lives so it may take a while for you to get art. Don't be pushy or it'll just take longer.
