s t a t u s : Temp. not working on any commissions. Congrats, yinXyang18 for winning p. 85 freebie. ^O^/

Read rules + announcements or face my mild irritation and b&hammer.

12.18.07 - 9:37am :: One more final to go! OTL Done! 8D; And with that, I'm closing regular orders and opening the charity ones (click for details). I will finish all normal orders before I leave.

12.16.07 - 5:24pm :: Finals are on the 18th, after that I will be finishing up all current works and closing for the holidays (and opening the special orders section). :]

Back on Gaia for now, this is my second artshop. If I still owe you stuff (and you still want it), please tell me.

PM if you are interested in RL commish. I have infinite open slots for that. xD; And I put more priority on those, since, you know--actual money as opposed to pixels. The prices I have in mind are reasonable, I think, so just shoot me a message.

Updated: 12.06.07

Please let me decide what I will and won't draw--I'd prefer to work on something I enjoy, and I'm sure you would too. If I refuse your request, it's probably nothing personal. If you have any questions on whether or not I will draw something, try to catch me in the thread, I'm here pretty frequently.

Will do: Interesting OCs, B&W (I'm s**t at cging), pretty avatars
Might do: Couples / groups, CG, shoujo fanart, semi / realism, fanart
Won't do: Anything beyond artistic nudity, cluttered avatars

Here is a very rough price guide (input would be loved / subject to change):

3k ~ 10k: Pencil sketch headshot, CG sketch headshot , pencil sketch half body, CG sketch half body, CG headshot lineart
10k ~ 25k: Pencil sketch full body, CG sketch full body, CG half body lineart
25k ~ 50k: CG headshot, CG full body lineart
Bribe: CG anything more than headshot, any couples / group picture

Bribe means...well, bribe. 9k for CG is not a bribe. ^^; So please offer a significantly higher amount than the listed prices, depending on what you want. I'll take any combination of items, letters >.o; or pure. Please list the values according to low market, ex or tektek (whichever is most applicable).

- No spamming, begging, trolling, stealing, advertising or chat/leetspeak.

- If it's not covered here, it goes under the catch-all rule. (I.e. Don't argue. :B)

I'm open to concrit / suggestions, but will not tolerate trolls or flames.

< o r d e r f o r m >

We can discuss price before you fill this out, so don't feel pressured. Generally, CG will take at least twice the time of bxw pieces.

iv. w a i t l i s t + p i c k u p

There are currently no extra bribe slots, if you want to bribe me, please wait for a normal open slot. I would feel too pressured if I were to take on bribes on top of the normal stuff. If we started to negotiate price, that counts as a slot filled, and you have the next 12 hours to post the order form. Once I've started to work on it, don't cancel the trade. Updates and finished pieces will be posted here.

Blue means WIP.

Priority:

(a) Rhiannon Everwind :: {Scanned, partially inked.}

Updated at 9:03pm - Tried to clarify a little bit. 8D;

Open! Please make sure I approve your order before you sent trade.

Why am I doing this? Well, I'm going away for a little while and need something to do on the insanely long plane flights there and back.

In the 'payment' line, you can specify how much of your order you would like to go to a charity (you can suggest ones, too). Please make sure you write the total first, so I know that you understood the correct price. 8D;

Rules:
See above for what I will and won't draw. Everything will be done in pencil or pen.
You will not receive it until after I return from my trip, at the end of January.
Trade must be sent before I leave. Please don't cancel, as I don't want to have to blacklist anyone.
If you can't agree to any of this, don't order.

Prices:
Headshot - 5k :: chibi - 8k :: half body - 10k :: full body - 20k :: couples / groups - bribe >.o;

Updated: 11.28.07

My OCs. In the process of moving them to my journal. >w<
Sorry for the mishmash of refs...I'll try to draw them soon >w<

For the most part, they are regular people, so if the references show them wearing something,
they don't have to be shown in that all the time. They also don't have a really concrete story, so if you
need exact poses / outfits, just let me know and I'll provide them. Otherwise, just go with it and try to keep
to their personality as much as possible, pl0x.

[ Ciel ]

Notes: Appears in be in her late teens / early 20's. Very friendly to everyone, sympathetic,
dislikes being strict. Not afraid to speak her mind, but typically will refrain from doing so
until absolutely necessary. Loves giving random little gifts, will frequently present someone
with a flower or card for no reason at all. Her second name is written in Japanese but
pronounced in Chinese, and has the meaning of 'elegance'. Ironically, she's a klutz.

with sleeves rolled up and matching black slacks. Has quite a few tattoos, but rarely
shows them. May look a bit scruffy at times (think Musashi from ES21), but no worse.
Almost obsessively neat, can't stand a mess and will eventually get exasperated and
clean up after the others if they don't do it themselves. Hates hard liquor, but could
drink anyone under the table (usually Rakky, but on occasion Ciel or Valor, and very rarely, Batsu).

personable, loves to talk; he is a great listener and selfless about giving his time to help others.
Reference: x

[ Valor ]
Gender: Male
Height: 5'7"
Hair: Short & black
Skin: Fair / pale
Eyes: Very light blue
Build: Angular, thin
Personality: Cold, detached, solemn
Style: Contemporary, neat, simple
Notes: In his late teens / early 20's. Introspective to the point of being lost in thought,
often seeming alienated. Loves sweet things, and as a result never has to fight over food
with Cyril, with whom he shares an apartment. Doesn't care for his looks, but manages to
be relatively in style anyway. Favorite candy is Chupa Chups and gummies. Usually wears
glasses (with thin frames), it's unknown whether or not he actually needs them.
Reference: x

or some other decoration. Likes gothic accessories like skulls, bones, etc. Loves red wine,
especially port, but would drink anything in a pinch. Likes to watch people but dislikes
meeting them. Often refers to 'that person', but no one knows who it is. Name is also
unknown, if asked will say 'You can call me Apollo--of course, that is an assumed name...'
Smokes cloves, favorite brand is Sampoerna.

Suggested pairings (or groups):

Ciel + Rio, Ashley + Rio, Batsu + Rio, Ciel + Rem, Rem + Ashley
Rakky + Ashley, Ashley + Ciel, Ashley + ?, Rio + ?

...and so on. Also settings like a kitchen, cafe, etc, 'daily routine' kind of things. If you like shonen-ai, the two best pairings are AshleyxRem, CyrilxValor. 8D *Shot.*

AU versions (pirates, Meiji-era / Shinsengumi, steampunk, HP, Firefly, cosplays, etc) are also welcome.
