Hello, and welcome to my art shop! I'm happy you've taken the time to look. All the banners are from drawings that I've done, but there are also a few samples of other works below. smile Please note, while I do draw in other styles (as you may see on my devart) I'm only offering the style in the artwork shown here. I want to keep my art quick and crisp for Gaia! However, if you really do want art it one of my other art styles, depending on how much free time I have, I may work something out with you. I'll be as informative as I can throughout this entry, but if I miss anything or you have any questions about anything I've said, please feel free to ask me anything! <3 biggrin
exclaim PLEASE READ THIS DISCLAIMER, IT IS IMPORTANT exclaim
and also, read the rest of the post while you're at it too, just to make sure you don't ask me a question that's already answered here. xp
I have several torn and pulled tendoins in my right wrist from spending too many years drawing with a mouse in oekaki programs before buying a tablet. Due to this unfortunate situation, some days it may only take me a few hours to finish a drawing, others it might take me several days, perhaps even a week depending on how much my wrist is bothering me. Sometimes it may even get so painful that I'll have to wear a brace for a few days. This brace limits my hand and wrist movement which makes it difficult to draw and at most it only needs to be on for a day or two just to let my wrist relax and heal a little. If I do experience problems with my wrist , regardless of the severity, I will let anyone whom has a commission know as soon as I can.
I will be as communicative as possible, so whether personal issues come up or I just get swamped by real life, or my wrist hurts, or I'm sick- whatever it is, I will notify anyone I have work planned for, and depending on the severity of the problems, I will post notice on my shop. smile
Also noting: I operate on a mostly first-come-first-serve basis, but I may pick and choose as to who I'll accept a commission from. I do art for fun so I may skip over things that I don't expect I'll enjoy drawing. I apologize ahead of time. Please keep in mind that due to this, DO NOT send me a gold trade until after I PM you and accept your commission. I don't want to accidentally take money from some one I don't intend to commission, and this also makes it much easier for me to keep track of who I do have money from.
I'm willing to draw original characters, fan art of anime/video games, fanart of real people, and specific portraits of things such as you/your avi/friends/dolls/ect. I specialize in fashion related portraits, be it "preppy" or "alternative" or any other sort of thing. smile
I will draw kemonomimi (ie: catboys, catgirls, ect) but I will not draw full on anthromorphic animals (furries.) I'm sorry, but I can barely draw actual animals, trying to combined human and animal makes my head burst with all the insane alterations of anatomy, hahaha. Really, as long as the anatomy is primarily human, face included, I'll be alright with it. As for the alternative, if you want a portrait with an animal, please ask me about it and I'll let you know if I feel I have the expirience to draw it well. I may decline on the basis I will not draw anything I'm not very experienced with as I want to ensure my customers get what they're paying for. smile
Regardless of what you want me to draw, human or animal, background or fanart, ect, PLEASE SEND ME REFERENCE PHOTOS- Especially if you want me to draw in a realistic facial structure and not anime! I try to make my realistic faces look as accurate and different as I can to make them all unique, so please do not pass on the references, unless you have a very detailed description written up. I focus very deeply on details in my art, so the more you have, the more I can make your picture look exactly as you want!
PRICES
Please note all prices are merely estimates and are likely to change depending on how difficult or simple the piece in question is. If you would like an estimate before committing to buy, feel free to comment (or PM me if you're more comfortable with that!) some brief details of what you'd like to commission and I can give you an estimate for it.
As for accepting gold, I would prefer that you pay me half the price when we finish discussing details and sharing information, before I begin the drawing. This is merely just to ensure that I get some kind of payment up front. Then when I finish your artwork, you can send me the other half of the payment. This way it guarantees both of us get what we want. However, if I do not receive my second payment, I will not send you your finished drawing and I will not refund you what you have already given me. You can keep any sketches and progress photos I send you, obviously, but you will not receive the finished work.
And as for the opposite situation, if something happens that I tell you it will take me several days to finish your artwork after you have paid me the first half of payment and you decide you'd rather not wait for my situation to improve, I will give you a partial or full refund of your gold depending on how much work I have done on your piece. I try to keep things as fair as possible, so please do not give me grief if I do not fully refund you. I have just listed that I may not here, so you cannot say you weren't told.
I would also like to add that, because I do this for fun on gaia, I am willing to negotiate prices. What I mean by this is, say, you'd really like a colored avatar art from me, but you are a little short on the funds. We can either work together to negotiate a price or you can offer me an item in about the same range of value. That will be covered in the post below this one. smile
Anyway, on to the actual pricing! XD Obviously all prices are in GaiaGold. You'll notice there are three listed prices. These are: Sketches | Line Art | Full Color. I did this not only to ensure anyone who wants art from me can afford something, but also in case you just prefer the way sketches look, you want lineart so you can color it yourself, or if you choose to have me color it. It's your picture and your money, so I want you to have as many options for personalization as you want. smile
