Hello!

My name is Tara-Lynn Sharrock, but please just call me Krice. smile
I am a singer, writer, and visual artist. This is a shop for my art.

I have opened this shop to sell realistic-anime sketches on a TEMPORARY basis.
I plan to be very busy inside a month of two, and this is something for me to do while
I've got some spare time for it.

I will only be selling sketches and mixed media (digital and traditional; see examples) busts of single characters.
If you want more than that, including waist-up, full-body, couples/duos, and coloured,
please refer to my RL Commission Guide.




I have recently opened up a chibi shop - since chibis seem to be the 'it' thing at the moment.
It is experimental, to see what sells. You can find it here:

RULES AND GUIDELINES

They are what they are.




--

Firstly...

IRL COMMISSIONS WILL ALWAYS COME FIRST.

Real-life money is way more useful and important to me than fake money.
If you don't want to wait for a slot and have the funds, please consult my
IRL PRICES for more information. IRL commissions take precedence
over all else.

--

RULES:

1: Respect Gaia's TOS.
2: Respect the rules of society.
3: Respect each other!
4: Respect my right to decline a commission.
5: Keep conversations strictly artistic if you decide to stick around to have them (visual arts, movies, music included). That way, arguments are less likely to break out. :3


COMMISSION RULES/GUIDELINES:

1: I'd prefer if you don't rescind/take back your commission requests. However, if you need to, please PM me and ask if I have started your commission. I will accept a trade once I am ready to draw your commission. If I have started drawing it, then your down payment is nonrefundable. If you can't afford my prices, there are heaps of artists out there who are cheaper and would love your business, so feel free to move on.

3: I reserve the right to post all my art on my portfolios, though delays where requested (for things like birthday or Christmas presents and games not yet released) are fine.

4: All artwork (my interpretation of every commission ordered) is copyrighted to me (not the characters, just the art itself) so please don’t claim it as your own. This means you are also not allowed to sell it for real monies.

5: I reserve the right to decline drawing a commission, though I highly doubt I'll end up declining any. I will NOT decline art once you have paid.

6: The more detailed your description of your characters, and the more reference pictures that you give me, the better I'll be able to portray what you want me to draw.

5: If you show it off to whoever, as in put it up on another website or in your devART gallery, then I request full credit as the artist by mention of name. I.E: 'Tara-Lynn (kaiverta)'.

7: DO NOT EDIT in any fashion. Resizing the art you get from me is fine. If you need something changed, ask me and I'll see what I can do.

8: Do not rush me. I do have real-life commitments outside of my commissions. I promise I will try my best to finish as soon as possible. Each headshot should take no more than a day. Each waist-up should take no more than two. If you have waited more than a week (though I do not see this happening unless I get sick or something), send me a POLITE PM asking about your commission.

9: Please do not post just to b***h about my prices.

P.S.
I reserve the right to change the pricing how I see fit. HOWEVER, I will NOT change the pricing of a commission you have already paid for. in part or in full, and pricing changes won't be drastic.

[Krice]

WHAT I WILL/WON'T DO

Please don't b***h about this to me.



--

I WON'T DO:
Hats: Please, dear goodness, no hats. I suck at hats, and they take forever - thus, slowing
me down and delaying all requests.
-Violence: Use common sense here. Obviously I can draw a guy throwing a punch into another's face, but I will not draw a character twisting guts out of someone else's body with any sort of weapon. Ew.
Hentai/Porn: Requests can be sexy, but not smut. Keep it tasteful, please.
You-to-Anime: Drawing you as an anime character is strictly contained to IRL commissions.
Colour: I may hold random auctions offering a coloured piece as a prize. Otherwise,
coloured pieces are strictly left to IRL commissions. Consult my prices if interested.
OCs: These are left to IRL commissions. Please consult my prices if interested.
Fanart: For IRL commissions only. Consult my prices if interested.
Yaoi/Yuri/Shounen-Ai: Don't complain about this. I have as much of a right to not draw
this as others have TO draw it.


I WILL DRAW:
-Everything else: within reason.
-Such as: wings (may incur a fee), wounds (not gore!), tasteful nudity.
-And: anthro people.

[Krice]

HOW THIS WILL GO

This is an explanation of the method of transaction.



--

HOW THIS WILL GO:

1: Post your request in this thread - using the form, please.

2: DO NOT PM me with your request until I have accepted and asked you to do so.
Must keep spam to a minimum. e.e

3: Once I accept, send half the payment before I begin. I will accept the trade for half payment once I am free
to start on your request. Once I have finished, send the remainder of the payment and then I will send the finished
image. I will do revisions at no extra cost (within reason; if you want something added or taken away,
like those head-wings for instance, it will cost extra).

[Krice]

FREEBIES - FOR BUMPERS

PLEASE DO NOT BUMP WHEN THE SHOP IS CLOSED/FULL.


Bump-wins means that for every number of bumps, you will win
yourself a free sketch. Please refer to the 'chart' below.


BUMP REWARDS:
(limited to 3 sketches per person)

100 BUMPS: 1 free headshot concept sketch (1 character)

or, save your bumps for:

200 BUMPS: 1 free waist-up concept sketch (1 character)

400 BUMPS: 1 free waist-up concept sketch (couple/duo)


BUMP CODE:
Please use this at the beginning/top of every post you make (if you're looking to bump for a free sketch) so I can better keep track of how many posts/bumps you have made. You can add other stuff in the same post if you so desire, but please use this code as well.

Once you have reached 100 or 200, you will get your sketch. If you'd like to continue to bump for two more sketches (limit of three per person) please reset the count and start from '1' for each new sketch.

[size=24][color=darkblue]BUMP (number here)[/color][/size]

Please tell me if you are just around to chat and aren't bumping for a sketch. That way, I don't feel compelled to remind you to use the bump/number code. >.>

Your bump count starts from the post in which you first use the code (i.e., when you first type 'BUMP 1'. It doesn't apply to your posts unless you actually start counting them as bumps).

If your character has a mask or hat on, anything covering the head, please show me both the image WITH the gear on and WITHOUT. This is to make sure that I know what shape the face is and how the hair is flowing): My OCs. The first OC.His name is Alarikk, and he is of blasian descent. He has a small mole under his right eye. His eyes have the starburst effect to them, and are silverish- gray, and green. He is a pretty boy with feminine facial features. The texture of his hair is wavy, and it is thick. He has five ear piercings ( Two in the left lower lobe, two in right lower lobe and one in the mid cartilage of his right ear). His had his belly button pierced to look like snake bites ( that is if you decided to draw him with his naval exposed). He is not the nicest person in the world, so his expression is naturally on the callous side.Hair reference 1 hair reference 2 The right side of his head was shaved like so, but it has started to grow back - so it looks like a fade. The left side is longer the guys in the picture, it lands past his about n****e level in the front but is almost to his but in the back. In this picture I would like for a portion of his hair to be in a high ponytail. The shape of his eyes and the fullness of his lips are something like this. The Second is River. His hair is shaved on the left side but there is a portion that is still there and it is long and braided like this and in the front and on the right side it looks like this just a little longer in the front. In the back his hair would look like this(If you can make out the length). I would like for his eyes to be shaped like this and maybe the nose you can have liberties with the mouth and some of the other features.
6: Pose/Expression/Emotion Description: The the embrace between the two characters will be your choice (yay for artistic freedom) if they are indeed embracing at all. River's expression should be like this and Alarikk's expression should be a along the lines of a cute smirk or something like the face on the poster to the right. They have a the builds of dancers/cyclist.
7: Price: FREE - BUMP WIN

Not sure, but on the front it says Duo waist-up, but on this you had headshot so I am unsure This is the edited second request.

AFFILIATES/LINKS - SIMILAR

Here I will be placing links to other shops that have art that is regular/realistic-anime. Ask if you'd like to have your shop/Gaia-site posted here for my customers to see. :3





If I approve, please send your link as a code so I can copy it correctly without emoing about the HTML. Do not take it as a personal affront if I decline.
I will be as polite as I possibly can.

Please make sure you have a banner and that it is no bigger than 200x40 pixels.
Please make sure you put a one-pixel border (of any colour) around your banner.
This will ensure that it is discernible from the other banners/and the background.








-------
In the meantime, here is a code to link my shop to yours if you're so inclined:

AFFILIATES/LINKS - OTHER

Here I will be placing links to other shops that have art that is different from mine - such as chibi, furry, realism (not anime), also shops that have a combination of styles.
Ask if you'd like to have your shop/Gaia-site posted here for my visitors to see. :3

UPDATES

Here I will be placing updates to various things that have to do with the shop itself,
such as if my signature changes, or if my prices change, etc.

--
UPDATE, 28th APRIL, 2012:

Lessened options (took out full-body/etc) in the interest of being able to offer art for cheaper
prices, and in the best interest of my RL Commissions.
Also no longer offering bribes - you can still try if you want - but the bribe would have to be big. >.>

--

UPDATE, 26th APRIL, 2012:
No longer offering Anthro.
Anthro, Shounen-ai/yaoi/yuri, full-body, all are bribable offers.
Removed waist-up mixed media option, changed headshot to bust.

--

UPDATE, 18th APRIL, 2012:

No longer offering Yaoi/Yuri/Shounen-ai.

--

UPDATE, 18th APRIL, 2012:

Changed the term 'finished sketch' to 'mixed media'. This means that I draw your picture
traditionally, and then clean it up and add neater, darker lines on photoshop, giving it that
crisp, clean look. Mixed Media is - a mix of traditional and digital.

--

UPDATE, 11th APRIL, 2012:

Changed my signature from this:


to this:


New one says, "Krice/Tara-Lynn". My Gaia name and my real name.

--

UPDATE, 12th APRIL, 2012:

- NOW OFFERING Yaoi/Yuri/Shounen-ai.

- Changed shop status to 'TEMP'.

UPDATE, 10th APRIL, 2012:
Moved from HERE.

UPDATE, 6th APRIL, 2012:

; v; Err, as for me.....hmm....I dunno!
Maybe you could draw... Asterisk* and Apostrophe'? They are twins, and are very eccentric, mischievous and trouble makers. Though Asterisk* (green hair, boy) is a bit more playful, while Apostrophe' (purple hair, girl) is a little more serious. They are inseparable though. ; v; Any pose works for them really...! xD Oh, also they don't have to wear those outfits. Anything with geometric or weird patterns they'd probably wear~
