Slippin’ in my faith until I fall

Do's and Don'ts
I'll draw pretty much anything, i don't really care. the only exceptions would probably be Yaoi and furries. the Yaoi is tough because my style lends toward shonen not shoujou. i can give it a shot, but they tend to be a bit masculine so, until i get more practice, no Yaoi. No furries simply because i don't like furries. I can do couples and groups but, bear in mind, the price i set is per avy so depending on the scope of your picture, you'll have to come out of pocket a great deal. So, to sum up:
Will Draw: Pretty much anything.
Will Not Draw: Yaoi and Anthro. i f*cking hate Anthro. mad

The Glory
Below are a few examples of my work. This is what you'll get for said price. I'm not into coloring at the moment because all i have at my disposal are colored pencils and colored pencils suck. Plus, i like the raw feel they have. i'm a bit of a minimalist you could say cool If you want a full color pic, i would say hit me in a PM, we can negotiate. but know ahead of time, you'll easily end up paying triple the price of one of these.

Disclaimers
Ok, first and foremost i reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for whatever reason. Seriously. I've had trouble with this in the past. People think because they are paying for something that I absolutely have to do it. this is not the case.
JUST BECAUSE YOU MAKE A REQUEST DOES NOT MEAN I HAVE TO ACCEPT IT.
I CANNOT stress this fact enough. People have this weird sense of entitlement when they pay for something. If i haven't acknowledged your post, there is a good possibility i am not doing your commission.

I also reserve the right to take "artistic liberties". if i think an item or something looks off as i draw it, i'll exclude it. I'll let you know before hand if there will be a issue so there won't be any sort of misunderstanding when i send the finished product. To alleviate this, please keep the avy's simple.

When the waitlist closes, it WILL NOT reopen until all requests are filled.

The waitlist guarantees you art but it i go through it at my discretion. if you are number two and i find number 7 to be more of an artistic challenge, i may do number 7 ahead of your number two. You are guaranteed art but not in any particular, numerical order.

I’m not looking for sweet talk

Capital Gains Tax
There is only one PURE PRICE, 17,500 g. This is PURE gold, for one avatar. This means if you want a couple or group, multiply 17,500 by how ever many avatars you want done. Easy enough, right? Now, i understand that not all of us have this much gold laying around so you can haggle if you want. i accept items as well as gold or any combination of the two.

If it's still too pricey for you, or you think i'd be interested, i take art for art. If you have a decent style, i'm more than willing to waive the price for a bit of your own art of my avy. Smokey is one helluva an art whore so throw it my way and we can go from there ^.^ Here's a bit of what i like to call Smokey off brand (click the Smokey Chibis);

Still want some art but the cost is too high and you suck with a pencil? well, there is a third option! an amazing and revolutionary option that will put the world on it's ear! Make Smokey a goddamn sign! It can say whatever, however you want as long as it mentions Smokey or Smokey brand. No one would go for that, you say? i'm a douchebag for extorting free signs outta the gaian populace? Your puppy has a tumor? Asparagus is communist? i say balderdash to all of that! here are a few of those people and the awesomeness they made for me. you too can get arts if you create something similar to these (click on the goddamn Smokey chibis, right now... >.> ):

Still need that Smokey brand love and can't manipulate a pencil or take a picture, then i offer to you the brand new, amazingly awesome, Smokey brand Referal program! If you can get 4 paying customers to come through and drop your name, i'll throw some freebie art your way! can't get any better than that! Also, if you purchase 4 or more arts, i'll throw a freebie your way or give you a discount. i'm all about frequent customer satisfaction, baby! cool

And How To's
If everything is agreeable, go ahead and use the form below. Fill her out and post here in the thread. Do NOT send the form to my PM box, that's strictly for haggling or negotiations. if you send me the form there, i'll completely ignore your request. If everything is in order, i'll acknowledge you here with a go ahead post to let you know i'm getting down or adding you to the wait list. DO NOT PM ME asking about art then make a request in a reply, i will completely ignore it. Requests for art are to be made WITHIN THE THREAD, ONLY. I'm not around nearly as much as i use to be so it is imperative you follow the instructions given as best you can.

Name: (your exact gaia name so i can pm you the art)
Payment Type: (self expalnitory)
Reference: (who sent you my way so i can give them credit, if no one, leave it blank)
Description: (this is where you place the Tek Tek of the avatar. i prefer you to use the dream Avy creator as it itemizes everything and makes it easier for me to include within the request)
Extra: (anything you feel i should know that isn't covered in the reference or description):

Obviously, you erase everything i have written there and replace it with the requested info after Copying it in a post here. i know this seems redundant but you'd be surprised how many people get it wrong. It's FAR more than you think.

The Long Kiss Goodnight
There are three lists that compose the hierarchy that is Smokey brand. The first and ace of them all, are the Standing orders. These patrons will trump everyone if they ask. I don't care if i am in the middle of something, if i am commissioned by one of these individuals, all work of the previous art stops until i complete this request. It's not a rule set in stone but expect a delay. Next up is the Bribe list. There are only three slots to the bribe list and i only plan to open it when the Waitlist is full. Bribed commissions take precedence over the all lists except for the Standing Orders. Next is the Waitlist. Normal request go here. pretty much first come, first serve until it closes, then the Bribe list opens up. Finally, the Freebie list. Catch me on a fancy day, and i may throw a free commission at you. it happens a lot. there are five slots and they take last priority because, you know, it's free. it'll probably be a doodle too. DO NOT ASK TO BE PUT ON THE FREE LIST!

Strike means shop is closed
Underline means shop is open and active
stressed means working diligently
surprised means next in line
mad means completed and awaiting Scanning/payment
twisted means cashed off, baby!

Standing orders
