Welcome To My Art Shop


I've been wanting to open an Art shop here for a while, so here it is biggrin
Here you can request any kind of art - Gaia or otherwise, traditional,sketch or digital. I even will have a go at photomanipulations if you wish.
I will do 3 orders at a time , so please be patient. I'm doing this because, like you, I have a life outside gaia that requires more or less attention depending on what's going on. As i get more free time the number of free spots will increase ^_~

For the best guide to my Art, please check out my deviantart


Current Waiting List
Spot #1 ~ Aquira
Spot #2 ~ 0Moon_Maiden0
Spot #3 ~ Yrrillion

Reserves
Occasionally, if the spot's full, you can book a place. If so, you'll be listed here.

Rules

1 ~ Please allow me enough time to get the picture done. I will always try and get it finished within the month.

2~ You can pay in items or gold after you've recieved your picture.

3 ~ Usually, if I'm especially proud of the picture, i'll put it up on my deviantart. If you'd prefer for it to be watermarked (so no one else can use it) just tell me wink

4 ~ Please stick to the Gaia TOS

5 ~ I'll happily do yaoi/yuri, but nothing too steamy, ok? Same goes for violence.

6 ~ If you want an avvie art, please give me a static picture/screenshot/tektek of it, since people often change their avvies halfway through a drawing.

7 ~ Feel free to chat here mrgreen

8 ~ If you don't like a picture's result, please don't expect a refund. But I'll happily cut the price or edit the picture.

9 ~ Be nice, be respectful, have fun ^_~

Types of Art Avaliable

I do any requests/commisions, be the art big, small, Gaia related or not Gaia related. I'll happily do animals, people or objects, and I'll use pretty mcuh any media I have with me - digital or traditional, or even photomanipulations. However, I don't do freeform digital drawings straight onto the computer, ebacuse my drawing tablet is slightly possesed -haha

Prices are determined by the time it takes and the skill level required for it.

Mediums

Pencil, Pencil Crayons, Traditional inking, watercolour paints, acrylic paints, Adobe Photoshop CS

Skill Level

Sketch
The most quick and simple (and cheap!) form of art.
Black and white pencil sketch that has been scanned and cleaned up. Group shots naturally cost more.
Examples:
* Concept Sketch
*Sketch group shot
*Sketch fullbody


Inked line Drawing
A line drawing that has been inked with traditional ink nibs, the scanned and cleaned up. These are also in black and white.
Proper line drawings take more time than sketches, and the inking takes time too.
Examples:
*The picture here
*Inked - 2 people
*Inked concept art

Coloured / medium
These requiremore work than the sketches and are usually coloured in pencil crayons, watercoloures or digitally. Can be inked if you wish
* Coloured medium work
*Inked and watercolours
* Basic digital colouring & pattern/tone work. Inked.
* This is at teh top end of the coloured band

Uber Arty [advanced]
These have had considerably more time placed on them. Prices vary according to the amount of mediums/time that goes into them.
For example you can have detailed pencil drawings, inkings&coloured, watercoloured,acrylic,pencil crayon, screentones, digital art.
Examples:
* Detailed & shaded pencil work - full body
*Inked,digital colouring - full body
* Detailed shading & pencil work - action pose
* Falls somewhere between 'coloured & uber arty' Inked & watercolored
* Cutouts on acrylic background

OMFG! [advanced commission]
Very advanced [and thus expensive] works of art that can take hours of solid work. Used as serious commisions and usually involve full blown traditional paintings etc.
Examples:
*Full acrylic paints on canvas, over 10 hours work
* Fully rendered pencil drawing
* Digital work

Other [banners/sigs / photomanips etc]


~Banners & signs~
These are usually fairly cheap (about sketch price) and done digitally (or a mix of both)

~Photomanips~
These are done on adobe photoshop and fall within the various skill levels depending on their advancement. Send me a photo/s, and/or I'll use deviantart stock images.
Examples:
* Decay - classed as Uber Arty
*Anotehr example of the more 'coloured' price range



Sizes

Sizes genrally depend on how much of the body you want, and how many people are in the shot.
Genrally, art is drawn on A4 pieces of paper, or on a digital size of about 800pixels.
With work, i'll give you the origional size. If you want it scaling down (eg to fit in yoru sig) I can always do that for you and give you that alongside teh bigegr copy ^_~

Genrally you can class sizes as portrait,upper body, full body and group

Prices
Prices can vary, as really they are dependant on the art requested. However I will always fix my prices once i've told you what it is in the pm(so it won't go up after the art is drawn), and I will always tell you straight out.

Portraits will always be cheaper than full bodies, for example, which in turn are cheaper than group drawings.
These are fully custom drawings, so what you want in them may alter the price a little. all in all, I'll try to stick to these price bands shown.

The basic price bands for each level of skill are shown, so use them as a guide:


Sketches
Pencil, scanned & cleaned up -
*Portrait ~ 200
*Upper Body ~ 350
*Full Body ~ 450
*Full body + Background ~ 500
*Group ~ 550 - 700 (dependant on number of people & complicated poses)


Inked Line Drawing
*Portrait ~ 400
*Upper Body ~ 500
*Full Body ~ 600
*Full body + Background ~ 650
*Group ~ 700 ~ 1000


Coloured / medium skill level
*Portrait ~ 650
*Upper Body ~ 1000
*Full Body ~ 1200
*Full body + Background ~ 1500
*Group ~ 1400 - 2500



Uber Arty
*Portrait ~ 1500
*Upper Body ~ 2300
*Full Body ~ 3000
*Full body + Background ~ 4000
*Group ~ 3600 - 5000


OMFG!
These work as proper commissions, so please be detailed on what you want and what will be used and I'll decide on a price for you.
An idea of prices for the examples:
Full acrylics on canvas ~ 20,000
fully rendered pencil drawing ~ 15,000
Digital work ~ 8,000

Banners
Small/simple : 200 gold
Larger/detailed: 400 gold


Photomanips
These work like commissions, The skill level they fall into determins their price. Very simple things - like adding soemthing like cat ears to a picture of you, will be in the sketch category, and probably cost about 400 gold.
Full blown 'uber arty' photomanips, like the 'decay' picture will probably cost 2000-3000 gold.
Basic mash-ups like the second example in the 'coloured/medium' skill range, will probably cost 1000-1500 gold


Other
i'm always open for suggestions - just ask away and i'll give you a price.
