Art request what now?

Hello, and welcome to my 3rd art request thread! My first & second art request threads have seen good days, but sometimes it's just nice to start fresh!

So what are we here for?

I am here for both art commissions and perhaps the occassional gift art!

I really would love for some very nice people to draw me for free, because that would be utterly wonderful and always makes my day, no matter how simple the art. ^_^

However, I know that we're all here for the gold, so naturally I am absolutely looking to commission, price depending on the complexity/style, if I see some samples that really strike my fancy. I have a lot to spend, so don't worry that I'll be put off if you normally have high prices. If your art is worth it, I will spend it!

• Please post your samples in reasonable sizes or links and please post your general price range, as well as what you prefer to be paid in or what you will accept as payment (gold, rares, store items, letters, monthly collectibles, etc). If you're especially interested in drawing a particular avatar or character, please post that as well so I can take it into consideration. ^_^
  
  
• I prefer private commissions or, failing that, shops with free slots, since I'm busy and so don't have tons of time to go rummage through R&C to find things. With this in mind, linking me to your auction is okay, but no promises, as I really do prefer commissions!
  
  
• I really prefer not to pay in advance. I will make exceptions if I think you are very trustworthy but in general, please expect that I will start the trade to you when we agree on a commission, but will not complete it until after I have at least seen a watermarked final version of the art, in line with the forum guidelines for commissioning.
  
  
• Please do not PM me your samples. My inbox is a crazy, wild jungle of all kinds of things the like of which you cannot possibly imagine! With this in mind, it's very likely your PM would shoved down to the bottom of the priority pile, and I don't think either of us want that. So please post in the thread!
  
  
• Please do not draw me and then expect that I will pay you. I will sometimes randomly tip for gift art, especially for users in need. However I only will guarantee payment for art that I commission. This means that we work out an agreement prior to you making the art.
  
  
• Please do not post repeatedly or rapidly pointing out that your post was overlooked.
  
  With this in mind, this includes quoting your post multiple times if I haven't replied yet, especially if it's on the same page! It's very, very annoying and spammy, please don't do it. sad
  
  I come and go frequently both because I may have to leave the computer, or may just have to leave the thread. This means that I may reply to several posts and not yet reach yours before I need to leave. I am also human, and sometimes I plain just miss a post. Please do not post repeatedly reminding me to see or complaining that I did not reply to yours. It is very inconsiderate. I make every effort to reply to all posts, however it is not always possible, and it is not an obligation.
  
  
• If I choose not to commission you, it does not mean that your art sucks and I hate it and you should go and be miserable and cry! Most likely it simply means that it's of a style that I'm not looking for at the time. I have definite preferences, and sometimes certain things just grab me more than others.
  
  
• Please do not post with admin or moderator related matters in this thread. Period. It is inappropriate and it is not the proper means to address whatever your concern may be. Please use the report system to report any problems you have. Posting here will not resolve them any faster.
  

Please stay a chat a bit if you have time, or just bump. ^_^

Pictures of my art, both gifts and commissions, can be found here and here! Yes, I know it's huge, but until I figure out a better way to sort it, it'll just have to stay that way. gonk

Avatars of the Moment:

Any current "non-standard Nora" avatar that I'm fond of will go here on a rotating basis, and are also up for grabs for commissioning. However, for my main avatars and my bigger commissions, please scroll down!
