Pretty obvious, but this shop is long~ dead
Let it rest in peace :3

Note: This shop is something we just do on the side, so don't expect it to be updated much ^^;

<center>A floating island peaks out from its cloudy refuge, wandering aimlessly in the sky. A rainbow path comes towards you and you take the colorful path that leads towards the stars. On arrival, you are surrounded by lush greenery and sparkling waterfalls, all filled with wondrous creatures. Welcome visitor, to the Celestial Garden...

Shop is currently:

Open: We're on and ready to take your order. ^^

Customer Rules
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

All sales are final, sorry. They cannot be resold, traded, etc.
-The ones you buy are to be only used by YOU and YOU alone. Giving the image to a friend and still using the same image yourself is practically the same as letting your friend steal a creature!
If your friend wants one, you can either use the gift option or give them the link to this shop so they can buy their own.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

None of these creatures are RP-mandatory, but it is optional.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

The creatures can ONLY be used on Gaia or websites dedicated to your pets.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Ask for permission before you edit the images for a pet sig or banner! Under no circumstances can you remove my name from the images or claim that you made the creature.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

As repeated above, please DON'T give out creatures you bought for yourself. That's what the gift option is for. I sometimes see a creature on someone's sig who didn't buy from my shop and mistake him/her for an art theif. :/

That's all for now, new rules will be added as needed.

Curious, you wander the island, eyeing the various creatures that you've believed to be no more than a myth, others you found, seem to come from pure fantasy. The island seemed neverending, you were positive that you have not seen every creature, you make a note to yourself to visit again in the future, maybe then you can spot a new creature.

You notice that some of the creatures you spotted seemed more unique and rare, barely spotting a few of each, if any at all. They live beneath the island, in tunnels drilled throughout the large base of solid rock.
<center>Aw... They're all in hiding. Check back later.</center>

Close by, there is an old shack, it's door shut by two crisscrossing boards. Maybe it will be opened one day...

You couldn't help yourself. The temptation to dress them up in gaian clothes is too great! Quickly going to a creature, you begin putting some of your clothes on it, the creature didn't seem to mind, I think...

A custom is basically a creature based on your avatar. Prices vary depending on creature used/difficulty. If you have too many layers of clothing which might make the creature look too cluttered or ugly, I might leave some stuff out... but overall I will try to do every item.
Price: 250g-500g.

When open, post something along the lines of "I want a dragon custom." It's first come first serve and will not open again till all 3 customs are done.
Note: The next 3 people to post for one AFTER the slots are reopened are the only ones to be counted. People who have previously posted when the slots were filled will be ignored. So~ be fast! ^^

Slots:
1. closed
2. closed
3. closed

Yea, not very many spots, but that's because customs can take a very long time to make. sweatdrop

For those on the list:
-First PM me what creature you want me to use. (dragon, tigrafox, etc.)
-I will then reply to you how much I will charge. Then you can send the trade in.
Important! For customs, I must recieve the payment first. I don't want to spend hours on a custom to find that the other person changed their mind at the last minute and no longer wants to pay. This has happened to me before, it's frankly, quite frustrating... stressed
-Once done, I will send you the pic. Remember no direct linking, so please save the image to your own server.
-And please be patient if it takes me a few days. I do them in the order they were listed and I have a life too, sort of...

Legends tell of hidden artifacts that are scattered throughout the island. The sacred gems embedded in these items are said to contain the guardian spirits of the island whose powers keep the island aloft. Dare you awaken them?

<center>The artifacts are yet to be discovered, for now they are a mere folktale.</center>

You stumble upon a large herd of, eh, you're not sure, but some of them seem to want to come with you. Care to take one home?

<center>Coincidentally, a large cloud passes overhead, blanketing the er, whatever they are. Thinking it is some unknown predator, they scurry away, leaving you alone to your own thoughts.

Okay, okay, they're still being worked on, but I'll get them done eventually. ^-^;;;

Care to see the island through a creature's eyes? Or would you prefer to be a human or other such biped, still exploring this world to it's fullest. Then feel free to join in the Celestial Garden RP. You do not have to own a creature to do so, it's all in good fun.

Rules:
-Try to be literate, no chatspeak or l337
-Do not be rude to the other Rpers
-Do not flame, argue, spam, etc.
-Please, nothing involving bloodshed or gore, it's called the Celestial Garden for a reason, the creatures there are above petty violence. Though an occasional quarrel can happen

<center>[Thread link coming soon]
Only if people really want an RP thread that is ^^;</center>

Carved into a gnarled tree, the names of people who proved to be of great help and also the names of people who caused disturbances on the island could be seen.

-People on the grey list who have done something minor can still buy a creature, though if they become a repeat offender, might move to the blacklist. People on this list will usually be removed after about a week.
-On the other hand, those on the blacklist for doing something major, like stealing, can never be removed and can never buy anything from this shop.

Beside this tree lay a large outcropping of rocks. Chiseled on the surfaces of these boulders were questions as well as answers.

FAQ:
Q: How do I save to my own server?
A: When we send you your creature, rt-click on them and click "save picture as" then save it somewhere you can easily find. Then you can upload it to an image host like photobucket.com.

Q: What is taking so long, I've been waiting for my creature forever! (note: 5 minutes does not equal forever)
A: Please be patient, we are not on 24/7 and we are probably still filling out other orders.

Q: Erm, I am still waiting for my creature, it has been days :/
A: Well, did you remember to both post AND trade. If you only do one of the two, we cannot fill out your order. If that isn't the case and you're sure you did both and that it has been over 2 days, PM us with the page number of your post and we will check to see if you did both. It's quite likely we may have accidentally skipped your post. We are after all, only human, we make mistakes ^^;

Q: Are you hiring bumpers/colorists/etc?
A: As of right now? No.

Q: Is there a limit to how many creatures we can have?
A: Nope, buy as many as you please! ^^

Q: Gasp! I saw so and so copy/alter one of your creatures, what should I do?
A: Please, please PM either SeanF or kitsae when this happens! We will deal with it from there.

Q: I have a suggestion to improve your shop. ^^
A: Please post your suggestions and constructive criticism. But please, don't just plain point out something you hate or flame us. Flaming us might put you on the Grey or even the Blacklist. Tell us how to improve the shop to your liking and we might just change it for the better.

Q: Who thought up the Celestial Garden?
A: SeanF did. He's always had a liking for angels and good stuff like that. biggrin

Q: Who drew all the graphics?
A: That would be kitsae, a female human who takes after a sloth. Please pardon her slowivity... Gotta love those made up words ne? ^^

Q: Why does the fox creature remind me of pikachu?
A: Well I assure you it wasn't intentional. -_-;;

Q: I've read everything and I have a question that is not up here, what do I do?
A: Feel free to PM one of us or post your question if that's the case. :3

Staff:
Two specters seemed to be watching you as you read the granite surfaces. You suspected that they are the keepers of the island.
SeanF: This one seemed to hold a light aura around him, his very presence warm and comforting as he smiled at you. His mind sculpted this island, making him the creator of the Celestial Garden shop. He's basically the boss and supervisor of the duo. He also makes sure to keep pushing kitsae to quit being lazy when it comes to making more graphics and whatnot.
Kitsae: The other ghost stared at you lazily as she lay sprawled on the green grass. She would be the lazy, procrastinating artist. She created the inhabitants of the island. Her tail twitched in annoyance, it seems you have disturbed her slumber, her very presence inspiring a nagging need for rest. Trying to stifle a yawn, you quickly move away from the two. Chicken! o_O;;; Sorry, had to say that, I'm just really hungry right now, the chicken wings call me. They say to eat them with plenty of ranch. <3

As you journeyed around the island, you spot a small well. It is encrusted with algae and seems quite neglected. Some lions were carved into its surface and seemed to dance in their stony prison. Perhaps it was a wishing well? You take some spare change from you pocket, wondering if you should let the coins be free to fall within the watery depths of this strange well.

Eh, we're pretty sure no one would donate, but we can still hope, right? ^^;
Well lookie here, I was wrong ^^

The sun was beginning to set, causing the winds to p***k coldly at your skin. Perhaps it was time to go. Just in case your friends wouldn't believe you've been on a floating island, you took a snapshot of it for proof.

[url=http://tinyurl.com/3lvby][img]http://tinyurl.com/4ww3s[/img][/url]

As you neared the edge of the island where you first arrived, rainbows began sprouting off in different directions. Shall you take a new path?
