Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I have a lot of people asking me to do avi art for them, so I decided to put this up to set down guidelines and so I don't have to keep answering the same questions over and over again.
This post consists of:
Q&A - These are questions I'm asked pretty much every time somebody wants one, and I'm sick of answering over and over again.
Rules - If you want avi art done by me, there's a few rules you're gonna have to follow, because people piss me off easily when it comes to these.
Other - This is a notice about art theft, and what I'll do if you break the rules. I'm a nice person generaly, but it's just not cool to steal somebody elses art, if you like it so much then go practice and create your own art, don't stoop as low as art theft.

Q&A

Q - Do you do them?
A - Sometimes when I want to or have the time.

Q - Will you do mine?
A - Depends on if I want to and what you're wanting.

Q - How long does it take for you to draw it?
A - Depends on what it is, how motivated I am and how much you bother me about it.

Q - Will you color it?
A - I used to, but now I'll only do it on special occasions or for special people, sorry.

Q - How much does it cost?
A - Depends on what it is, how long it takes, the image size, if it's colored or not, and how generous I'm feeling.

Q - Why is there more rules for avi-art then there are for avi-edits?
A - Avi-edits are not my complete original work, I simply copy the avatar from Gaia and add onto it, therefore I cannot claim it as completely my own.

Rules

1 - Never ask me how long it's going to take me

2 - Never ask for pictures with more then one or two avis in it. I don't like drawing an entire gang of f'kin avatars. I don't do 'family' pictures or any s**t like that, so stop asking.

3 - Don't ask me to color it because the answer will probably be "No". I don't like coloring them, alright? Go color your own damn avatars, you're not colorblind you can color them yourself or get somebody who enjoys it to do it.

4 - Don't PM me asking whether it's done yet or not. If you do it, I'll stop drawing it immediatly. Don't f'king rush me, I hate it and it messes up my art because it stresses me out. I already have enough f'kin stress in my life for you to be adding onto it with your petty nagging. I'm not stupid and I havn't forgotten about your damn art, I'll give it to you when it's done, so shut up.

5 - I will draw your avatar once and only once, if you don't like what I draw then too damn f'kin bad. Get somebody else to do it, I don't like waisting my time with your B.S.

6 - Don't steal my art, this should be obvious. Nobody should have their hard work ripped off by stupid wanna-bes who don't have the patience to draw their own s**t.

7 - PM me, I will reply telling you whether or not I'll do it or not. If I say I'm not going to, don't ask me why, don't beg, don't give me s**t. If I say no, it's for a reason, so shut up and ask some other time.
