Please take note of the color coding. Green is to Synton and Red is to Kapeki. Gray applies to both.




GENERAL
▏You are free to use the art you have commissioned anywhere, just as long as it is for personal use. You are not allowed to claim it as your own.
▏Avatars and OCs are accepted. Hopefully they are not too complicated.
▏We don't like furries or those human-beast whatever you call it characters.
▏Cluttered Gaia avatars are a no-no. Pixels are hard to see, and making the image bigger does not make anything better.
▏Do not rush the artist. But, if we are taking longer than five days, you are free to ask about your art politely. This depends on the artist's RL schedule (artist's status in Bulletin Board)
▏Each artist has an order form. Use it, and please be articulate. We want your order form to be detailed so that we know what to draw, and it is to ensure your satisfaction as well.
▏We have the right to cancel your commission if something gets in the way. (which, we hope to avoid)
▏Once an agreement has been made, you may not ask the artist to redo your commission (especially when it is done. Sometimes we tend to work faster than usual.)

THREAD
▏Please do not quote the first page. Apart from that, if you want to stay and chat, quote the person you are talking to, or we won't be able to respond. We're blind.
▏Unless you'd like to affiliate, please do not advertise your shop or anything else here. It's rude.
▏Be polite, and everyone here will be nice to you, too.
▏If you like our shop, don't be afraid to vote! ~

_______

Kapeki
▏Tektek = hard to see. Please provide a better reference -- maybe one commission already made for you.
▏I can do avatars and OCs ---- but it's a no to OC + an official character. (ex. Naruto and an OC or something.)
▏I'm sorry but I don't do backgrounds. ; v ;
▏I do BL/GL.
▏Animals are not my forte so I might refuse. orz
▏Commissions are done in [n]no particular order.

Anton
▏I don't to chibi. Yet.
▏I won't do anything above PG. Mild violence, nudity, and bl/gl will do.
▏I have difficulty in drawing animals, so I won't always accept them, if ever.
▏I don't mind drawing detailed, just not too detailed. You can always bribe, though. XP I can try.

What we are offering for our customers. Samples can be viewed in the Accomplished post.

I can do different styles: anime: shonen, shota, moe; And for non-anime, serious or comical. Non-anime is preferred.
If you don't understand these terms, look it up in Google.

Please note: basic animations are free of charge. Complex requires a fee of 500k.

Headshot code: HED
I don't have samples yet, but if you look at my other drawings, you can get an idea of how they will look like. Neck or shoulder-up. Minimum of 180k, cell shading or painterly style, with or without animation.
✓ Animation (basic: winking, blinking, mouth movement, windy, smoking, etc)
✓ Gaian commission
✓ RL commission
* Painterly style cannot be animated. Only for non-anime.

Waist code: WST
Default art style. May be either transparent or with simple BG. Minimum of 800k for a solo and + 400k for first additional person. -100k for every increase.
Example, 1 - 800k, 2 - 800+400 = 1.2M, 3 - 1.2+300k = 1.5M, 3 - 1.5M+200k = 1.7M, 4 - 1.7M + 100k = 1.8M. Fifth person is free. Maximum of five people.
✓ Animation
- winking, blinking, minor facial expressions = free. More complex = +500k fee.

Detailed code: DET - not accepting fullbodies for Gaia commissions for batch 2 anymore, sorry!
Usually fullbody (or knees/legs-up) with complicated background and/or clothing. Simplified ones have transparent BG or simple BG.
It is expensive because this is hard to do and it also takes a long time to do. Minimum 4-6 hours, maximum 10-12.
✖ Animation
✖ Painterly style applicable
✖ Super bribe (if Gaian commission, no background >> 1.5M, with background >> minimum of 2.2M for a solo and minimum 4m for a couple. Super duper bribe if more than 3.)

{ Synton's Art Request Section }

At the moment I'm broke, both in Gaia and RL, so maybe an Art Trade?
I do not like chibi, moe, shota. Not a fan of anime style either, but there are some styles I like. I will be picky on art styles because the style has to much the character being drawn. Please don't be offended if you were not accepted.
To give you an idea of styles I'm looking for: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

Gaia Online avatars

Synton - Wild

- please make the tattoos on his arms darker. Black. Yes. Make him look cool. Preferably Street-ish art. It's not obvious, but please include the Chain Wallet!
- you may make him hold a spray bottle and put graffiti text or something.

Synton - New Moon

- too bad the brows aren't really shown, but he's some psycho. Two-faced b*****d. Daytime, he's an ordinary 19-year old, but at night he gets all evil. If he's in a normal mode, please make both his eyes color blue.
- Story is similar to the anime series Gankutsuou. I like the art to be like that, formal, dark, elegant, but not I'm not strict about it. Sometimes Gankutsuou art has too much unecessary details and patterns xD;
- Please include the cowlick. Antennae on his hair, whatever you call it.
- I do not like Twilight.

Original Characters

- unavailable at the moment

Fan Art

Do NOT work on these if you are NOT familiar with the following series and/or its characters. Some of them might have same gender pairings. I won't always be accepting fan art, since I would like avatar and OCs drawn more. Depends on my mood.

South Park - Eric Cartman and Kyle Broflovski
- I want Cartman fat. FAT. He's obese, dammit. Some people draw him too thin.
- To give you an idea of what I'm looking for: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8
- I love Cartman in a Nazi uniform, but you may make him wear his normal outfit. His Police uniform isn't bad, too.

South Park - Josh Myers
- References: 1 / 2 / 3
- I want him to look creepy, but not too creepy.
- small irises/pupils

South Park - Damien
- References: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
- He only gets red eyes if angry / using his demonic powers.

Cardcaptor Sakura - Firey and Watery Card
- References: (Firey) 1 / 2 ; (Watery) 1 / 2
- Not a yaoi pairing please.
