Note: This shop is on hiatus until December. You may place an order and I will tell you if it's accepted or not, but I won't make any progress with any orders before December.
Hello. This is my new shop. My art shop will be moved to this topic with the prices as they are and the orders as they are as well.
I will be selling art and animations.
I am still learning the animations, so the prices start fairly low. They will rise once I learn more, but you will have more to choose from and better quality too.
Art Shop Rules:
I do avatar and other character arts - roleplay chars, fanfic characters, humans, elves, vampires, demons, angels etc...
1. I work on only one commission at a time, usually. In general I require one week to finish a commission. You may have your name on my waiting list but I give no promise of how fast I will get to you - for real life reasons I may require breaks between commissions.
2. I have the right to close this shop at any time if real life becomes too hectic. I will of course finish those commissions I've been paid to begin.
3. Prices:
Note:
Old prices: These prices are for everyone who ordered before I raised the prices, up to number 15 on the waiting list.
2500 gold - face, 3000 gold - bust or waist up, 4000 gold - full body, 6000 gold - couple, 3000 gold extra - background art added, 1000 gold extra - animal or baby added
New prices: for everyone ordering after that.
2500 gold - face, 3000 gold - bust or waist up, 4000 gold - full body, 7000 gold - couple, 3000 gold extra - background art added, 1000 gold extra - animal or baby added, 3000 gold extra - another character added, up to ten characters.
4. I'll send you a sketch by PM (make sure not to have your PMs on friends only!), and you are required to state at this time if there is something you'd like to be different. Don't hesitate to offer criticism, I won't be offended. Take some time to study the sketch and check that I have remembered to put in all your items. When you have given your comments and approved of the sketch I will ink and color the art. Then I will make a watermarked sample of the image and send it to you. Send me the trade of the gold and I will accept it, and then send you the finished artwork.
5. Do not order art if you do not have enough gold to pay for it.
6. I have the right to refuse any offered commission if I find it beyond my abilities. In general, I don't do ugly monsters very well so those requests probably will be refused. Also if you want avatar art and your avatar is literally buried in complicated items I may refuse or offer to draw only the items most essential to you. I draw in my own style, I don't copy the styles of reference pictures.
7. You have the right to use my art made for you anywhere you like and you do not have to credit me by name. However, you are forbidden to pretend that you or someone else is the artist. You are forbidden to use art made for someone else without that person's permission.
8. In this topic you have to follow the Gaia TOS and the forum rules. Criticism of my art is allowed and even appreciated, as is asking questions.
9. I do artistic female nudity if requested, in this I follow the rules on the subject.
10. These rules can be revised at any time.
Animated Art
I now offer animations of the art I've drawn. Basically the ones I do are blush, blink and wink, I might be able to make a tail wag, stars twinkle, snow fall or bubbles float. I'm still experimenting with this. I will not animate art drawn by someone else.
1. Sometimes an animation may fail due to the software I use or my own lack of skill. In such a case I will not charge anything for the animation, but I will expect you to pay the normal art price for the still image the animation is made from.
2. Animation prices: blush: 1500 gold, blink or wink 2000 gold. The price is the same whether on an avatar or its plushie or pet. Other animations may be done as special commissions, the price is to be determined individually.
3. I have the right to refuse any order of animation if I find it beyond my skills. This includes art I have already agreed to do as a still image.
4. The animation is always a gif file and these have a limited number of colors, this means colors may be altered in the process. I will always provide the customer also with the still image version of the art. If requested, individual animation frames may also be provided.
5. These rules can be revised at any time.
New! Cupcakes!
Want to see how you'd look as a cupcake? Now you can!
1. The cupcake will be based on the avatar image you supply. Unless your avatar is very simple, all of your items will not be included.
2. Your avatar as a cupcake costs 900 gold. Send trade when you order, I will accept the trade twice when I'm finished and send you the art. The price is non-refundable.
3. You have the right to use my cupcake art made for you anywhere you like and you do not have to credit me by name. However, you are forbidden to pretend that you or someone else is the artist. You are forbidden to use art made for someone else without that person's permission.
4. I will not begin drawing the cupcake until I see you've sent me a trade.
5. The cupcake will be delivered as a png file, if desired a jpg file may be provided also.
6. The rules may be revised at any time, the price will be 900 gold at least for the first five customers.

Note: I know I'm not the only one selling art of avatars as cupcakes. However, I think there is room for more than one such shop since each artist has his or her own style.
