Would you buy avatar art from me?


+.If so please do the following.+

1) State what you would like me to draw

2) Please give me something to work on/examples of what you want
or else you'll most likely get something totally diff. than what you were expecting kay?

3)Don't be shy to ask any questions, but don't be rude.
I haven't done anything to you so you should not have any reason at all to be mean.

4) After your art is done I will message you or if you like you can message me.
Then we begin to haggle on the price. Don't worry I ussually haggle down by alot so if ur poor we can work out something together.

(But dont dress in random poor outfits to getfree crap, be honest okay? I spend my time drawing earnestly for you, so don't lie)


Btw I DO have a DA (Deviantart) and it is the same name as my gaia so feel free to watch me! :3

-My work is not at its best of times but I will do my BEST to get your picture the way you want it to be ^U^-

Here are some examples of my work:

Personally, I think playing the haggle game after a commission is completed is not a wise idea. Haggling prices works fine with factory-made objects or things that were not specifically made for someone, but for custom made things, like art commissions, it's not a great idea. For one thing, the person can walk away, even if you're done with your art, or they may only pay a very low price, and have a "take it or leave it" attitude.

My advice? Play the haggle game before you start drawing. Once both of you decide on a price, have the person fork over the gold through trade (but don't accept it yet), as proof that the person does have the money, and it's only a click away from being yours. Draw a sketch, shrink it, and watermark it, and show it to your customer. If your customer likes what he/she sees, then continue working until it's finished.

Then, have your customer complete the gold transaction, and both parties wins.
