"Simple things, that make you run away; catch you if I can ..."

Welcome to the anime/avatar art shop, created by the one and only Sneaky-Snake of Gaia-Online!

Hello! Call me Snakey (btw)!
Or, I guess whatever else you want to call me, as long as it's appropriate please. ^^

You may think this is another shop of shops among the millions out there - but no, oh no, it's definitely not.
Better prices, fast services and quick and easy ordering.
A laid back atmosphere to chat and bump, as well as a pretty easy going manager of artsss. =D (that's me, haha!)

Not only will you get great art at a great price, you'll have a great time. [/cheese]

So if I haven't sounded cheesy enough, continue on reading! ='D

**PLEASE take note of the "current status" before posting anything or PMing me. Thanks! **

CURRENT STATUS: CLOSED. I WILL NOT BE TAKING ORDERS UNTIL ALL CURRENT/WAITING ORDERS ARE COMPLETE. PLEASE, DO NOT PM OR ASK. YOU WILL BE DENIED, AND I WILL NOT ACCEPT YOUR ORDER IF YOU TRY AFTER I'M OPEN. Thanks. :3

The Bulletin

8/5/08 - So. Band camp has now started, and is in FULL SWING. That means less Gaia time, more resting/practicing/and focusing for my leadership role and my role as a member. There will be days where I'll be back home around 4 PM (CST), so I'll have plenty time to sit and work on art.

Other days, I'll be back for a couple hours, then gone until 10:30 (CST).

Other days, I'll be gone a full day 'til six. So who knows - I may be on, or may not, depends on my mood, depends on how that day went, how I feel. I'll try my hardest to work on the art that's already been ordered - and may discount some. I've already talked to a couple of those that have been waiting for a long time, and am so grateful they aren't angry with me - and to those I haven't reached, or that are waiting, I'm very, very sorry. This happens - right? I do indeed have other priorities, even during the summer.

So, until I'm done and caught up with all my other art, this shop is CLOSEDDDD.
I will NO LONGER TAKE ORDERS until I'm completely done with everything else.
It will re-open soon after, however.

*bows* So forgive me! I'm trying my hardest.

My band camp schedule:
8/6 - 8 AM - 3 PM
8/7 - 8 AM - 3:30 PM [break time] 6 PM -10 PM
8/8 - 6 PM -10 PM
8/11 - 8 AM - 6 PM
8/12 - 8 AM - 6 PM
8/13 - 8 AM - 6 PM
8/14 - 8 AM - 10 PM [last day!!]

I may have gotten some wrong - but I'll update it ASAP! Thanks everyone. ^^

Updates

7.24.08 - Put back up some more examples, and some more will be coming in. Sorry there's nothing for Chibi, waist-up or headshot ... but I'm getting there! ='D Also, prices were raised a tad, but not much. If you ordered before the prices were changed, you're fine, so no worries. BULLETIN UPDATE! Go check it out. ='D

//rules of combat

"One - thing before I go; two - the one who loves me so; three- don't make me count to three again."

Rules

o1. NO SPAMMING, BEGGING, FLAMING, WHINING OR ATTITUDE. I don't like any of those things. D: They make me sad.
o2. Follow ToS, pleeease, that's pretty simple, isn't it?
o3. If you have complaints, address me through a PM, please don't post it on my board. It'd be pointless because I'd ignore you and report spam! <3 Yummy.
o4. PM me with your orders with the supplied order form, pleeeease. You can post here, but I'm warning you, if I miss it, I'm not going to go back and search for anything. It's in your own good fortune to PM it to me so I don't over look it. =D
o5. Follow the rules! Duh.
o6. These are subject to change and can be changed once I think of more things, mmkay?
o7. In your first post, put something about ... bunnies and cake. Just so I know you've read these.
o8. My shop is usually only open during the summer or extended breaks. I'm an upcoming senior, so don't expect much during the school year at all.
o9. When you order, you'll be put in a slot - there I'll put up the progress, as well as your order and price. =D Once all slots are full, I'll keep the orders given to me, but you'll be put on a waiting list. Your work won't be done as quickly, so please be patient! ^^
o7. Art trades! I love them! I lovelovelovelovelove getting art, of all kinds: my avvy, my OC, what have you. :] I'll put up certain pictures I'd love for you to draw in exchange for your order, but please, put forth the effort I do. Whatever you order, I expect your art trade for me to be about the same sort of thing, capiche? :B
o6. Be nice! Have fun! Chill, hang out, and remember, I'm pretty nice and I love you, but I can kick you in the rear if I need to. ;D

[ ABOUT THE ARTIST]

Name: Snakey
IRL: Meghan
Alias: Meg, Smurphy, Smurphinator, Meg-SHIZZLE!, and so much more.
Age: 18.
Interests: Graphic design, writing, drawing, reading. Anime/manga, gaming, Gaia, and Internet in general. Hanging with friends, family, going to youth group, summertime, sleeping, marching band, shopping, fashion, photography, fall season, daydreaming and helping out people the best I can.
Attitude/Personality: Laid-back, kind, loyal, nervous, naive. Hard to share what's wrong, bottles things up too much, worries too often, and is rather self-conscious. Always trying to do my best and help others - I want to mean something to someone, I want to be able to make someone's day better. I smile a lot, and laugh easily, and am easily entertained. Down to earth and personable, but it's easy to tell when I'm upset; I isolate myself or become very quiet and unnervingly moody ... Otherwise, I try to remain optimistic in situations. When I'm hyper .. there's no stopping me.

You're a Christian?: YES, I'm a full-fledged Christian, and love God with all my life and heart. Putting that first and putting Him as my priority has made everything else in life line up. I love Him dearly, dearly ... I serve Him and am not afraid to say so. If you want me to share my faith with you, heck, do something, I'll jump right on it and talk about it with you. My testimony and my life so far since I've been a Christian and rededicated my life have been amazing. :]

Favorite ...?
Anime - Ouran High School Host Club
Manga - Fruits Basket/Full Moon O Sagashite - TIED.
Manga-ka - Arina Tanemura
Art style - Traditional anime/manga
Food - Spaghetti
Drink - Diet Dr. Pepper (Sonic, preferably)
Author - Sarah Dessen
Movie genre - Romantic/comedy
Music genre - Christian/rock/alternative.

What's your ideal ...?
Date - Theme park, taking pictures in a photobooth and then ending it off with a cute dinner of hotdogs on the pier ...
Saturday - Hanging with friends, goofing off, and chilling at someone's house 'til late. ^^
Summertime experience - Church camp for an extended time, with warm weather, but not too warm. On other days, having swim parties, barbeques, or going to a park or theme park.
Sleep over - Staying up really late, talking for hours, watching movies/anime/whatever playing video games and getting fat on junk food. xD Beforehand going around town or something.

Ask me more stuff and I'll put it here! xD

Well, git at it, and thanks for buying! - Snakey

"As I leave will you be someone to say good-bye
As I leave will you be someone to wipe your eye
My foot is out the door, and you can't stop me now

You wanted the best, it wasn't me, will you give it back
Now I'll take the lead, when there's no more room to make it grow
I'll see you again, you'll pretend you're naive, is this what you want
Is this what you need, how you end up let me know.

As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when
I'm gone
This is the last song ..."

[UsagiDesu]

Do you draw real life people? ninja

[elliot-storii]

@Usagi - Nope, only anime. I don't do realistic.
There is a line of lyrics underneath each title of the board; you have to get all of those correct to get free art. ^^;

Oh, it wouldn't have to be realistic.

Oh? *squint* My monitor is too fuzzy, didn't notice. I just assumed you were talking about the lyrics in the post rofl

[elliot-storii]

Oh, I see what you mean - like, draw an anime picture of a real life person? I could do that. ^^;;
Oh, sorry. XD;
