If you think I'm under/overpricing, feel free to post your own offer - and why.
If needed, link me to another shop with similar style/quality art to prove your point.
I also accept ETS (easy-to-sell) items and wishlist items as payment.

A N I M A T I O N
The purpose of this section is to hopefully provide some insight into how I animate, what I am capable of, and why my prices are the way they are. I create my animations in Photoshop CS5.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxBlinking: For me, detail is key. I draw every frame by hand (this includes both
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxthe lineart and colouring/shading) and there are always 3-4+ different frames.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxthis results in a smoother and more believable animation. I don't animate with
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxonly two frames going from "open eye" straight to "shut eye."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTails, ears, objects: This type of animation begins as a normal drawing. After
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI import it into Photoshop, I take the original image and manipulate the object
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxon its own to create more frames. I always have 3 or more different frames.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHair and complex animations: To make it look believable I have to
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxdraw every part that will be moving separately. Think of it as an action figure.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThis is very time consuming especially because I have to draw + colour multiple
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'pieces,' even if they will only show up in one frame. I'm OCD like that.



R E Q U E S T I N G
Fill out the form and post it in this thread if you are requesting something from the shop. If you want to request something else, send me a mail to discuss it further. I can do profile layouts (including the coding) and other graphics.
[size=14][color=maroon][b]I . W A N T . A R T![/b][/color][/size]
[b]Username:[/b]
[b]What:[/b] (what you want - a small chibi, big animated chibi, etc.)
[b]Animation:[/b] (yes/no, and what you want)
[b]File Format:[/b] (.jpg, .png (transparent background), .gif (animations) ...)
[b]Price:[/b] (either my price or your own counter-offer. Do NOT leave this part blank.)
[b]Character you want drawn:[/b]
[b]Ref. pictures/description:[/b]
[b]Pose/expression:[/b]
[b]Background:[/b] (white, transparent, or specify a colour. I don't draw backgrounds.)
[b]Comments:[/b] (optional, the more detail the better)


I'm much more likely to accept if you provide a reference picture, instead of text description.
I will NOT draw: canon anime/game/movie characters, mecha, masculine men, cluttered avatars.

I will not start drawing until a trade has been sent.
When your art is completed, I will accept the trade and mail you a preview.
When the trade is complete, I will send you the non-watermarked version.

Q U E S T I O N S
Q: What programs do you use?
A: I draw using Paint Tool SAI and animate in Photoshop CS5.

Q: How long does it take to draw a picture?
A: Usually between 2-6 hours for the stuff in this shop. 8 hours and up for bribe arts.
I have to really be motivated in order to complete a request. >.>

Q: How long do I have to wait to get my picture drawn?
A: It depends on how many pending requests I have waiting.
I try to do them in order but I tend to finish small chibi requests first, because they're fast.

Q: Will you draw anthros/furries?
A: I don't see why not. I can't draw animal (dog/cat) noses well, however. Just a warning.

Q: Do you draw couples?
A: It depends. I will do small chibi couples no questions asked. For anything larger, it depends on the character designs and what poses/animations you want. I may ask for a higher price if it's very complex.

Q: Are you rich?
A: lolno. If I was rich, I wouldn't be drawing for money.

Q: a/s/l?
A: I'm a ♀ sophomore in college majoring in psychology/music. I am a MMO gamer and draw as a hobby.
Not enough info? Too bad. ;D

Q: What games do you play?
A: I've played a LOT of different MMOs over the years. I currently play THQ Dragonica and Guild Wars.


no mercy to those that do not read before they post!
Could I get a big chibi of my oc for 10K? thanks!
.bump.

Starting up a price check thread in the PA&S forums. Even before the epic cash shop inflation my chibis were worth more than 10k.
okay, I could pay up to 20K in gold, and I have a bacchus I could give if that isn't enough...
o.O

I'll do a shaded + blinking animated big chibi in exchange for the Bacchus.
What expression/personality do you want your OC to have?
Hello thur.
I'm interested in your art.
Could you do me?
A big chibi one.
I'll offer up to 14k.

Winner

Ooohh Jan's got another quest thread~

STALKER! (Nice name, by the way. And I see you've got an auction going!)






@Jessica - alright. Start a trade and I'll start drawing, I hope to have it done sometime later tonight.

>o> What can I say, when I get board I stalk the My Gaia page~

I can only imagine what I do when I get BORED.

And yup, my friend tore down all the walls and essentially forced me to run an auction by dissembling every reason I had not to. :'D He also pretty much set the entire thing up for me, so I really just didn't have any reason not to do it...

Tricky Humorist

What will 200k get me? ^^

I want some more fabulous art of my OC.
(The thread has both text and picture references.)

I want a picture of him being all "diva"- y // "attitude"- y
