exclaim F.A.Q. exclaim
Hi?
Hello.
Where should I start?
Start by looking at the samples of art and pricing. Find what you like at a price you can afford.
Why this shop?
Because I felt like making some extra dough. smile
What's the difference between your shop and others?
I realize that not ALL gaians are rich. I'll never ask you for letters or anything over 10k. I'm so sick of people having to pay 50k for 'quality' art on gaia, so I thought I'd give those other shops a run for their money. Just starting though, don't expect much sweatdrop
How do I order?
Check out the form and read up on the rules.
How do I describe what I want?
With... details? If you want avi art, specify a pose/expression/certain items you want added. Some have actually got an image of an avi, and yes I will do dream avis. As for other art, it helps to be descriptive of physical features(i.e. long/dark hair, tall/short, slender/athletic etc.) and expression/pose. From there on out it's pretty simple.
How much is this going to cost?
It depends, how complicated is it going to be? How much time will I have to put into it? How high will the quality be? As you can see by looking through the samples, the prices have some pretty large gaps between ranges even in the same sects. In the end it all depends on the work. I'll try not to make you pay too much, but my art is worth something to me, I hope it is to you.
Why is this so expensive?
It's not. For some of the stuff I do, it's actually quite a steal compared to some of the other stuff out there. I guarantee you won't find many better custom art shops out there.
Can I get free stuff?
No.
Why not?
Because I work hard, and I need to get paid for it.
Forever?
I might do something for you guys for Christmas. But that's it. ninja
How long is this going to take?
No longer than 2 days, that's a guarantee. For more complicated pictures, 5 days. If your order doesn't get in by five days(due to my procrastination) then consider your work half price.
What's that supposed to mean?
What are you talking about?
That whole 5 day thing? If it goes over and it's your fault?
If I can't get it done in five days because I'm doing homework instead, then it's half price. If I can't get it done in five days because you haven't given me a descriptive enough order, or because you keep changing things on me then it's not my fault.
Oh?
Oh.
Blacklists?
I haven't needed one yet, let's keep it that way wink
When can I order?
Whenever you want. Just be aware that your order will not go through unless you're on the 'slot' list. There's a reason that's there, because I can't work at 10 orders at a time. 5 is the max. If you submit an order while my slots are full I might not see it at all, or I just won't consider it. Be patient.
How can I get a slot?
First come first serve.
Can I reserve a slot?
Certainly, but I'll only hold your slot place for a week. After which I will remove it and make room for a new customer.
What if I want to change something on my order?
That's the beauty of pencil and this thing they call an eraser. If you tell me before I've finished I can change something. I've even been able to change stuff after I've finished up an order, I'm flexible about that. But any extra changes that require a lot of work will cost you extra.
So I can change it after it's done?
Yes, BUT there is one stipulation. You can only change it BEFORE I've sent you the unwatermarked version of your picture. This allows me to delete the image from my photobucket and computer in order to save much needed space. It also means that you won't be ripping me off by making a major change last minute.
Please get back to writing your story...
sweatdrop Eh... heh heh heh... sorry guys, sorry. I will, but as you can see I'm a little busy at the moment what with school and the shop and all that!
What about affiliates?
Pm me to become one, and go check out my affiliates. They're the best on gaia at what they do and they do it for pretty good prices IMO.
Can I get a discount?
No.
Why not?
Because it'd be unfair to my other customers who don't/didn't. You pay for what you get right? I value my art, you should too.
Can I pm you?
Of course, by all means. As long as you're not filling up my inbox with chain letters I'm fine with that.
The slots are full and I really want to order...
Be patient, or contact me. Ask me how far along I am on a project and when the next slot will be open. I'll tell you and you can place your order in that time.
What do I do with my order when slots are full?
Don't do anything with it. Like I said before, I won't get to it if you just post it or anything. Remember my rules? Please read them they do help. Don't send me an order unless you've got a place on the slot, it's a waste of your time.
Now what?
You wait. Be patient, it is a virtue.
I don't feel as if my order is being done.
Have faith.
I don't think you got my order.
Contact me via pm to confirm this.
What's with the wait list and all that?
It's kind of self explanatory, but I'll make this list for you to make sure.
Finished - People whose orders I've finished
Unfinished - Orders that are currently at work
Waiting - Not started yet
Haven't paid yet - Orders I've completed but haven't been paid for
Cancelled - cancelled orders
What if I have more questions later?
Ask me of course rolleyes
Is that it?
Yup.
Sweet.
Indeed. 3nodding
