Hiatus Notification

Welcome to my Avi Art store, v3.0! smile I sell fairly decent avi art at fairly decent prices! I also do OCs and RL art too! smile So please feel free to look around, bump, and comission!

I will...
Draw fan art as well, or avi's, RL's or OC's cosplaying. smile Please provide references..?
Draw romantic couples, as well as shonen ai and shoujo ai.
Try drawing backrounds, and almost anything, but I can't promise perfection if it's much other than a person.

I will not...
Draw nudity or otherwise sexually explicit or violent pictures. smile Fighting sceens are cool with me, so long as you don't expect anything super bloody or graphic.
Draw anthros. sweatdrop Sorry, I'm just not that good at it..! 3nodding I can, however, draw realy simple things like tails or cat ears.
Do overly cluttered avatars. sweatdrop While I will attempt it, it's just frustrating and too hard, so usually turns out aweful.

Just because it's not on this list doesn't mean I have to do it..! If I find that there's more that's not up here that I am unable to do, I will let you know and apologize profusely..!

Store Rules
1. Please follow the ToS of GaiaOnline!
2. Please don't take any art and claim it as your own (though I don't know why you would~)!
3. Please don't flame or be rude to other people in this thread! sad The Black List is bad!

My Rules
1. Please send the trade when you order. When I complete the trade, it means your order is ready to be picked up at the Completed Art post! whee ;; I will not take the money beforehand ever, because I automatically lose motivation~
2. If you have a problem with a completed piece, please let me know in the thread~ whee ; If it's nothing major, I will more than likely fix/change it for free, so long as you are nice about it...
3. Currently, I will only take three group shots at a time. biggrin ; They're pretty time consuming (especially since I get orders like six or seven people!) so I'm imposing this rule to keep myself from stressing over it~ D: So please check how many have already been ordered before ordering one!

My Pet Peeves (a.k.a. things you must do when ordering!)
1. It is okay if you have an OC and no reference pictures! But all un-referenced OCs must come with hair descriptions better than "it's red and kind of long"!! I'd just like to know if it's wavy, straight, or curly, and what the bangs, if any, look like, because I just don't like having to guess, only to guess wrong...
2. Please don't ask me how much your order will be! sweatdrop The price table is approximate because I don't like pricing my own art and I'd like to be affordable. So you decide within the given price range. If the image you want is plain/simple, go with a lower price; If the character is ornately dressed or you want a specific/complex pose, go with a higher price. whee Tips, however, are always greatly appreciated. smile
3. sweatdrop If it is a same sex couple, please let me know who is most dominant in the relationship! sweatdrop It sucks for both of us when I guess and then get it wrong...
4. sweatdrop Please check the waiting list before ordering~

(omg gasp a colored picture..!)
Wednesday, September 6, 2006 ~ sweatdrop ; I'm unofficially closed forever~ ._.; Please lookout for auctions and the like..?
Wednesday, June 29, 2006 ~ biggrin ; Price adjustments made..! Aaand I'm open! D: No waiting list feature yet, though~
Thursday, May 25, 2006 ~ sweatdrop ; I tried very hard to shorten some of the text in the store as the page was getting very lengthy and I know I can tend to be rather wordy! I just didn't do a great job of it, but I'm working on it... Also, the process of ordering has changed, so please check the steps for ordering!
Wednesday, May 17, 2006 ~ SpearSeven's temporary mini store will no longer be hosted here~ biggrin Please check the affiliates section soon for a link to her full time store!
Thursday, May 11, 2006 ~ Due to personal reasons, the store will be closed indefinately. sweatdrop ; Odds are I wont be working on orders for a while, either, so anyone can PM me to let me know if they would like to cancel their orders, and people who paid to get on the waiting list can get a refund in full. I don't know exactly when I'll feel up to opening again, and I'm sorry to anyone whom this inconveniences.
Sunday, April 23, 2006 ~ sweatdrop For various reasons, colored art will no longer be avaliable to be purchased in this store. biggrin ; If you'd like some, please check any auctions I may be participating in, or any contests I'll have in the thread. Previously ordered colored art will still be completed, and flats will still be offered. Sorry if this inconveniences anybody..!
Monday, April 17, 2006 ~ whee Added an FAQ section! biggrin ; Still in the works, though, and I am still closed~~
Wednesday, April 12, 2006 ~ sweatdrop ;; Because of holidays and such, I will no longer have scanner access, which means I will be closed until the 24th or there-abouts, unless I magically get a scanner for Easter~ heart sweatdrop ;; I realize that's nearly two weeks, but it can't really be helped, and I apologize to anyone whom that might inconvenience~ biggrin ; I will, however, be hosting a friend's store in the last post for about a month, and that'll be perpetually open!! whee
Saturday, April 8, 2006 ~ biggrin ;; Wow, a lot of updates lately..! A waiting list to get on to the waiting lists (for a small fee) has been added, which will hopefully help with some problems, currently~ biggrin ; Also, some posts were moved around for both mine and your convenience! heart
Friday, April 7, 2006 ~ whee ; As I'm still trying to make my store as user friendly as possible, there have been some changes and addition to the Rules, the Order Form, and How To Order, which I encourage all returning customers to check for discrepancies from the old rules~ whee ; Thanks a ton~
Thursday, April 6, 2006 ~ whee ; Okay, since I just started slotting things, I'm closing the store for a bit to work on stuff... I'm not quite sure how I'm going to time manage having slots, because I've never not been perpetually open to orders... whee ;; So some suggestions would be helpful..? biggrin ; And anyway, yeah, I'm closed to new orders indefinitely~
Monday, April 3, 2006 ~ whee Opened again! heart
Thursday, March 16, 2006 ~ whee ;; Closed again until Monday, since I wont have a scanner anymore... biggrin ; I'll still be working on previous orders, however..!
Monday, March 13, 2006 ~ Open again for at least a few days, because I'll have a scanner! biggrin ; No group shots until further notice, though~
Friday, March 10, 2006 ~ Closed to new commissions for Spring Break. smile Will open again in about a week~ heart
Sunday, March 5, 2006 ~ biggrin Open!
Saturday, February 26, 2006 ~ whee Setting up!

User Image

(omg gasp a group picture..!)
whee ; Okay welcome to the FAQs section..! biggrin ; Hopefully it will answer most questions, but if you have any more that aren't adressed somewhere on this page feel free to let me know and I will answer them as best I can~

Do you accept items as payment?
whee I do! It does depend on what item, though; there are some things I just wont want, sorry~ But if you tell me beforehand, and I OK it, then go for it! I will always accept items that are on the questing post (unless they've already been donated~~), sealed letters, and, in most cases, Easter 2k6 donation items!

What does it mean if I ordered a picture, but my name isn't on the waiting list anymore?
whee That usually means your picture is finished! To find it, go to the completed art post to pick it up there. If your picture is not there, then and only then should you PM me to ask why you were removed.

The samples/prices table is messed up! How can I fix it/tell what the prices are??
Your window is set too wide. For some reason, some browsers distort the layout if the window is too wide, and the simplist way to fix it is to decrease the width of the window you have open.

Uncolored

The prices vary depending on the complexity level of the drawing.
In group shots, add .5k for every person after three people.
If you want a background, there may be an extra charge depending on the complexity of the background.

Flats

As you can see, there are many different ways that I color flats, so let me know what you like best, if you have a preference.
In group shots, add .1k for every person after three people.
If you want a background that is not a solid color, there is a minimum of an additional .5k charge, depending on the complexity of the background.

smile Please keep in mind, that because I lack ample samples, some samples are older than others, and therefor not up to my current quality.

Only one slot per person, please~

Uncolored (omg it got slotted!!)
1. Origami Karasu (couple full body) PM heart
2. The Slate Scholar (couple upper torso OC) 221
3. Closed
4. Closed
5. Closed
6. Closed

Flats:
1. Noir Kalenthiel (couple full body) ninja
2. Closed
3. Closed

Trades

Auctions

3nodding ~ started // sweatdrop ~ needs to send trade // ninja ~ needs color

The following two lists are waiting lists to get on the waiting lists above. They cost extra to get on, but you are basically garunteed the next empty slot in whichever list you pay for. biggrin ; That means you wont have to constantly check back just to see if you can order, and you wont risk the chance of missing slot openings~

Uncolored Waiting List (1k)
1. Closed
2. Closed
3. Closed

Flats Waiting List (2k)
1. Closed
2. Closed
3. Closed

How does this work?
1. When you fill out the form, make sure you specify somewhere that you are ordering to be on the waiting list.
2. Send a trade to Kim_13 for only the waiting list fee. Once the trade is completed, your order will be added to the waiting list.
3. Once your order is added to the waiting list, send the actual trade for the cost of the order.
4. biggrin ; Otherwise, follow all the rules on the next post about ordering~

Price: This is the price you are willing to pay. smile It's your job to keep track of extra costs for backgrounds, extra people, etc. If the price is incorrect (as in too low) I'll ask you to change it before I officially accept the commission. whee Tips can also be added here as well..!
Extras?: Anything else you'd like me to know? smile Put it here~ ( whee As in let me know if it's for a gift or special occassion! 3nodding I like to know those things!)

How did you find my store? Randomly looking for art? From another store/thread/site? Was I reccomended? biggrin I'd like to know how you found this store~
What did you like about my art that made you decide to order? smile Because it's cheap? Do you just like pencil art? Or the way I draw elbows and knees ( whee lol I dunno~)? whee What?
What do you think I could improve about my art, my store layout/content, or the way I run my store? smile Just anything you think I should work on.. sweatdrop Please feel free to be honest and constructive (so long as you're nice..), I can take it~ whee I promise..! smile

Until this message is gone, my store will be closed indefinitely. I'm trying to catch up on stuff, and having a store is too much work and time for what I make with it. o: But if my store does end up staying closed, I'll still do auctions, so look around for me if you're interested in things like that..! I'll usually have a link in my sig if I am, and my username is fairly easy to remember... biggrin ; Or at least I think so~

This does not mean that I wont finish orders. Any order made unless cancelled will be finished, just, unfortunately, not as promptly as they were being finished before. I apologize if this inconviences anybody, especially since many people got used to me being my usual prompt self.

Further, as life has finally caught up with me, until my avi is turned back around, I am on hiatus. This also, however, does not mean I wont be working on art until I am back. I'll still be working on things in what leisure time I have, I just wont really be around Gaia much, and most orders will probably take a while. ._.; I've personally waited for most of the art I've ever ordered for a very long time, so I guess it's just something people should expect. sweatdrop ; Life happens, even to artists~

o: Even if this store closes, I still hope to open another store sometime in the future, even if it be the distant future, when I have a lot more to offer insofaras art goes. ._.; Thanks to everybody who has been patient and supportive of me~ heart D: I hope to be back soon..! heart
