Got a Biancamella? Want full-body art from me? For the special offer, scroll down to the 8th post!


Hey, y'all. I'm Smoof (known everyone else on the internet as Kitty) and I'd like to draw for you. 3nodding It's been a while since I was last active on Gaia, so I'm not too familiar with art prices. All I know is how long I spend on each piece and how much I think they're worth (and how much I know they're not worth). So if you'd like some art by me, come here and make an offer. I'm just looking to improve my technique, so this shop is a temporary one for me to get subjects. biggrin

.º News º.

August 3, 2008 After a week of misery, Smoof finally got her computer back yesterday! All orders will be completed ASAP. Thank you for all your patience!

July 22, 2008 - Since this whole bribing system is driving me insane, I am changing this shop to a regular, here's-the-price shop. The process will not happen overnight (there's a couple organizational things I'll need to edit), but by the time slots are open again, the bribe shop will be no more.

[Smoof]

.º Rules º.

1. I reserve the right to refuse requests for any reason.

2. Do not advertise without my permission.

3. DO NOT RUSH ME -- very important! I do not work well under pressure.

4. Do not direct link images. Unless you've notified me first, you will have up to a week to save your picture. After that, I may delete it at any time.

5. Follow the Gaia TOS.

...the end.

.º Other Notes º.

- Feel free to chat with me.

- Feel free to bump.

- I give free sketches randomly to people I see here often. heart

- I haven't made a blacklist yet. Let's just hope we won't need one.

Unfortunately, as you can see, I don't have many samples yet. One of the reasons I have this shop is to practice and build a portfolio. If the above samples make you want my art, then yay. I work hard on all the art I do, and yours will be no different. If the above samples do not make you want my art, then the "back" button is right at the top of your browser.

I like to take artistic liberties when I work. I treat each new piece of art as an individual and work best when I can make decisions over technique and such. My gallery should give you an idea of how my work generally turns out.

.º Order Form º.

Orders not filled out with this form will be asked to edit.

[b]Name:[/b]

[b]What kind of art you want:[b]

[b]Subject of the art:[/b]
...if requesting art of your OC, please fill out the additional info below:
[b]- Name:[/b]
[b]- Visible age:[/b]
[b]- History:[/b]
[b]- Personality:[/b]
[b]- Appearance:[/b]
[b]- 2-3 references (please try to make at least one reference semi-realistic, so not all of them are just anime):[/b]

.º Slots º.

I will have three slots open at a time (except in special circumstances). Orders may be filled out of order, depending on what inspires me at the moment.

bold text = in progress

1. [Buddha - I R RawR -] - SC / couple / FB (1 Magical Girl + 5k)

2. [xX-Alexis-xX] - SC / single / WU (3.6k)

3. CLOSED



.º Bribe Slots º.

If all three slots are full, but you still want art, I will be accepting bribes to open/add a slot. Bribe offers need to be good. I can't say how good, but very good. It also depends on how much I like your avatar/OC, too. If I want to draw your order, I'll be more willing to accept your bribe. If I know you well enough, I'll also be more willing to accept a bribe. Otherwise, just make an offer. ;D

[none]



.º Hiatus List º.

These people have reserved spots to commission artwork, but have not yet sent their payment trade. Once the trade is received, progress will once again resume on their art. If, after 1 month, they still have not sent their payment trade, they will be removed from this list and must wait for another open spot.

.º Special Offer º.

Yes, this is a long shot, but seeing as how the only two items in my quest left are the Biancamellas, I am putting up a limited time offer!

For 1 Biancamella (whatever generation), I will draw a full-body, full-color picture of whatever you want.

For 2 Biancamellas (whatever generation), I will draw a full-body, full-color picture with a simple background of whatever you want OR a full-body, full-color couple picture of whomever you want.


I will also take the gold equivalent, which is about 100k per Biancamella.

Of course, this offer will always be open, even if my waiting list is full.

So if you have any extra Biancamellas lying around and would like to donate them to someone who will cherish them forever, just post your order! heart
