Verra - :3

I don't think you failed at all; 'tis quite cute. n.n
Animated things normally go for a bit higher price...so considering that, I don't think 90g is too much.

[Auroraslight]

Verra - awe, it's cute! ^_^ I think even 100g is reasonable for them smile

Yay, thanks. I was afraid I priced too high based on frustration endured

Alkaid: Your samples are so cute! I love the first one.

edit://
Hah.
The animating goes amazingly faster after the first one.
That makes me happy :]

Oh, one more thing!
Can I do something certed for this collective? Pretty please? I've always wanted to try certing stuff, lol. It sounds exciting.

I went insane and am attempting to finish an avi edit for this collective. o__o* It's turning out pretty good thus far, but I'm going to add a background to it to spiff it up. It's the very first one I've ever made. It's a couples edit, no less. XD

It's going a lot easier than it probably would have since my friend was kind enough to give me her copy of Photoshop 7.0. I've never worked with a program with layers before. O__O It's making me sooo happy!

Also, I found an animation program, so maybe I can get some animated things done too.

@ verra - I think the kitty jar ish kayoot! 90g-100g seems like a completely fair price!!

[Auroraslight]

Kadeejah - ooh, sounds cool! ^_^ I'm excited to see it! smile

agh.... i'm still putting off working on my submissions.... D= I've only got an avi edit done so far.... sweatdrop

[Kadeejah Seshat]

My avi edit is going to look soooo bad compared to edits like dary and Auro and...Everyone else at the Collectives make. XDDDD I'll try my best though, since everyone really does need to start somewhere.

I'll post the sample here when I'm done with it, so everyone can help me price my crapulance. XDDD

[Kadeejah Seshat]

Let me just make sure I've got this right first, before I go all gung-ho. XD

For the avi edit, after the collective starts, I check the front page under my name in the avi edits post to see if I have any orders...And if they're listed as paid, I fill them, and leave a post in the thread that I've PMed the order...Right? o.o

Let me know if I'm messing something up here, okies?? 'Cause this is my first time with an avi edit, and I don't wanna blow up the world or something. XD

EDIT: Just the same, I finished it. X3 What does everyone think?? Does it look decent?? o.o If you think it does, hows about help on pricing?

I have a question before I signup:

I'm in the process of moving my shop to a mule account.
If I post the signup form with the current link, it can be changed later for when the collectives open right?

I'm not sure if that makes any sense. <_<;;

Kadee - That's pretty cute. n.n
A little suggestion, though, is to perhaps add a little more shading, especially on the clothes. :3
I usually go for a color palette of at least five or six shades/tints for each color (and the outlines for each piece don't need to be quite so dark).
Of course, those are only suggestions; it looks fine as it is, too. ^^
I'd price it at anywhere from 150-250g. :3

As for the process, I would suggest actually going through the pages yourself, rather than relying on the Avi Edits post. ^^; The reason is because that post doesn't always stay as updated as it should, and it's easy to miss an order or two that way. >.>;
Don't worry about whether they've been marked as paid or not. It's less confusing to just go on good faith and send them their edit order whenever it's ready. :3
But yes, when you've completed the order, please leave a note in the thread so we can move the order to the Completed list. ^^

Michie - Yes, that'd be fine. :3
Just let us know so we can edit it later.

Squee~!

Yay Michie! ^^

I'm hoping to participate as well, but we'll see since school has started again. I might not have much time for item creating >.<

[Auroraslight]

Kadeejah - Ooh, your edit looks super cute! ^_^ I love the background. I agree with ani, some more shading might make it look even better... As for pricing.... anywhere from 200g-400g? surprised
