Perfect Businessman
:: Renais' Little Shop of Randomness ::
Alright, this might be classified by some to be a "mediocre" shop, a mere shell of what it could be, but I honestly don't care. I've found I have a nak at creating small things will little direction so this will have to do until I stop being so lazy.
Now to cut to the chase: I offer a variety of things, ranging from signature pictures, to personalized smilies, to animated smilies. All my work is done in Adobe Photoshop (Although I'm still learning how to use different filters to create different effects) and Image Ready, so you can expect top notch effects and animations. I can make other things than what has been listed. If you would like to test my skills and request something not listed, PM me and I'll take a wack at it, free of charge.

Signature Pictures
Like the name says, its a picture you can place in your signature. These are essentially 450px by 150px blocks of color with your avatar contained somewhere within them. I can add titles, gradients, ripples, clouds, brushes, what ever the heck you want inside of it, so take your pick!
Personalized Smilies
Like the name says, its a smily that has been tweaked to look like something you want it to. While anyone can make then given then time, I love making these things and thought I'd give my skills, however small they may be, to those less fortunate. I can only add specific items to the icons, preferably the head/shoulders area, but I can make exceptions if I feel I can accurately depict the item in question. Also, be aware that I am dealing with a very tiny area of work, so don't pester me because something doesn't look just right.
Animation
Ah yes, quite possibly my crowning achievement. These puppies can take me from a few minutes, to several hours. Each one is made to run smoothly on a Mac while viewed on the Firefox browser. I have had problems making the animations run smoothly on the Safari browser, but most people need not worry about it. For those wondering: Yes, all my animation is done one frame at a time. Tweening just isn't my style.

Pricing
------------------------------------------------
And now for the thing we all love the most: The Cost. For me, I like making things for the experience, so I can learn how to do something new or improve on an existing skill. Thusly, I don't like to charge much and I don't think I do in my opinion, with the exception of one...
Signature Picture
These things aren't to hard to make so I don't charge much in effect. Slap down your avatar, add a background, text, border, and BAM, signature picture! Before anyone asks: Yes, I will update your picture should you change your avatar; free of charge.
100 Gold Each
Personalized Smily
While easy to make, it takes much more time to create than a signature picture. Since I'm dealing with such a small pixilated area, I can't always fit everything onto the smily, or make it look right in some cases.
300 Gold Each
Animation
These are the most annoying thing to make. My Image Ready program crashes on me often, and if I forget to save in the middle of a project, I lose everything. This won't effect cost, just don't be surprised if I throw your request back at you because the program crashed. Since these things are so tedious to make, I charge a bit more for these babies, so you'll have to decide for yourself if it will be worth it or not.
Ok, everything that will be animated will the priced at my leasure. Please describe the animation to me in the order form as best you can, and I will give you a rough estimate. Basic animations go for around 300 gold.

I, Renais, am obviously always available here on Gaia via PMs. I am also an avid user of the MSN Instant Messaging program, and I am nearly always online if I'm on my computer. If you plan on contacting me via MSN, I go by the moniker of Mynd. Also, please try and keep all conversations business like, I'm not here to be your personal friend while there is work to be done.
If your going to b***h at me because of my layout/abilities/looks, please keep it in a PM, I hate getting random a** IMs from angry people. If you are going to go on an angry rant, please try and make it constructive criticism rather than a total bashing. If you are going to bash me, make sure to back it up with reason. I know I'm not the best of artists, nor will I ever be, but if you can find someone who can do it better, please go ask them and stay away from me!

Credit/Questions
------------------------------------------------
When things are all said and done, I'm proud of my work. When I make people stuff, I'm not going to put my personal label on things, I'm just cool like that, plus it makes the image look a bit tacky. If you're going to be displaying something of mine and someone asks you about it, give credit where credit is due and help a kid out. You didn't make the image, I did, so whats the point of lying? No, I won't go chasing you around to make sure you give me credit, but if I DO find out you've been claiming my stuff as your own, you can be sure that there will be hell to pay. I have eyes and ears all over Gaia, so be careful who you talk to...
If you have a question about... well anything, either post it within this topic or send me a PM and I'll get around to answering it to the best of my abilities.
