Occasionally Pukio and Drakochan will give out freebie arts! Which means that there is a chance to get drawings even if you're not bidding for art. Exciting, ne?

.PUKIO FREEBIES.

Pukio seconds whatever Drakochan is saying below her, mostly because she is too lazy to write anything down herself, and because she trusts Drako's judgement. The end.

.DRAKOCHAN FREEBIES.

Drakochan will give freebies randomly for reasons only she can fathom, which include...
¤People who RP with her on IMs <3 (a lot of the art in my samples are RP characters, be they mine or other peoples')
¤Nice people who stick around and bump (even if they're not bidding)
¤Nice people who stick around and talk about books with her <3 Because books make the world go round.
¤Occasional gift avvie art, but only when she feels like it.

Welcome to Pukio's personal little corner of HAB! Here you will find what Pukio will and will not draw, any personal rules or restrictions she might have that don't fall under general auction rules, her examples, and...whatever else she can think of to stuff in this space. Thank you!

---------------------------------------


.PERSONAL RULES & GUIDELINES.


1. At the end of the auction, I will expect half of the promised payment up front, and half after the artwork has been done.
2. At the end of the auction, the winner must submit a completed commission form that I will provide. Failure to complete this may result in you not getting your art, so please be careful to do so. I've had a surpring amount of commission offers where the person doesn't seem to understand that they have to tell what their characters are like.
3. There are no milestones for this auction. The winner gets whatever the heck they want within a sensible range. I offer backgrounds, but not insanely detailed ones; I will do multiple characters, but not more than three unless the high bid at the end is really something special - that sort of thing.
4. The winner will recieve one large piece of artwork, or multiple smaller ones depending on the ending price. I will give you a quote similar to this when the auction ends:

"You can either have one large piece, or multiple sketches/busts/whatever."


5. Pukio draws in multiple mediums and styles; the winner picks whatever they want.
6. Pukio will not draw gaia avvies or fanart. She finds avvies really exceedingly boring to do, and is really really bad at doing fanart. She will draw original characters, Ragnorok Online character, FFXI character, breedable/journal pet characters you have, book characters (preferably, if I've read the book - but not necessary if you can give me an effective description, etc), etc., etc., though. I just really don't like doing gaia avatars. xD;;
6. There is no rule six yet; I can't think of one.

Welcome to Drakochan's nook in the wonder of the thread that is HAB. This is just a little blurb of mine with a few personal rules, and some guidlines regarding what I will draw, and some examples of my art. Which I admit, some of which are old. My style has changed quite a lot since some of these. >_> Hopefully (I'd like to think) the newer ones are the better-looking ones XD
Recently, I have been practicing a semi-realistic style, and am currently in high favor of that; it involves quite a lot of black and white, though, so if you want your piece in this style, it may take me a while to get it right ^^;

.DRAKOCHAN'S PERSONAL RULES.

1) Once the auction has completed, I will ask you to fill out a form that explains to me what your character looks like, and a little about their personality, so I know how to draw them in a pose. I will PM this form to the winner, and I expect a reply within a few days in order to start on the piece in a decent amount of time, and in order to finish it before the collaboration deadline. If you do not get this form back to me before one week into the collaboration auction, I do not guarantee I will have your piece done before the ending date of the collab artwork.
2) Drakochan will color digitally, though she does prefer coloring by hand. If the auction-winner requests it though, she will color a piece via Photoshop.
3) Drakochan will draw backgrounds, but does not guarantee any extraordinary landscape pictures.
4) Depending on the ending price of the auction, the winner will be able to choose between a large piece that is completely inked and colored (by hand or digitally), a full-body/large demi-realism styled piece, or several smaller black-and-white pieces (inked or demi-realism busts).
5) Please please give Drakochan a little leeway as far as timeframe goes. Allow more time for digital coloring than for hand coloring, etc. Drakochan is a very busy person. And has loads of summer homework.

.DRAKOCHAN WILL/WILL NOT DRAW.

<3
¤Original characters (sort of a given)
¤Ragnarok Online characters, including pets/monsters
¤Book series based characters--if I've read it (see list at bottom of post)
¤Fluff of the heterosexual, shounen-ai or shoujo-ai persuasion (kissing, hugging, cuddling, etc.)
¤1-3 characters in a picture (after all, how can you have fluff without two people?)
¤Just about any animal, with a reference
¤Anthros. Though, I will admit, I'm a bit out of practice.
¤Tasteful nudity
¤Illustration-themed art (scenes from a story/RP/whatever)
¤Backgrounds (granted, they're not guaranteed to be great)
¤SOME weapons (swords, guns, axes, etc, with a reference)

X
¤Gaia avatars
¤Mechs
¤Anime/manga/book/TV-show characters (fanart)
¤Massive group pictures (4+ characters) unless the auction price earns it.

.EXAMPLES.
I apologize for the quality/lack of in some of these scans. Most of these are still in the sketch phase, but I will ink and color (if you wish) your picture by hand. All pictures are work-safe; e.g. no full-frontal nudity.
A picture inked and colored will look like...
|x|x|x|x|
A picture in a 'demi-realism' style, or shaded will look like...
|x|x|x|x|x|x|
A picture that is inked will look like...
|x|x|
A picture in plain pencil sketch form will look like...
|x|x|x|x|x|x|

This certainly isn't a complete list; if you have a series in mind so I can reference some sort of setting, just mention it, and I'll let you know whether or not I've seen/read/whatever it.

Books/series I have read/watched and would be willing to draw art based on them:
Heralds of Valdemar (Mercedes Lackey), Deathstalker (Simon R. Green), Hawk & Fisher (Simon R. Green), Abhorsen (Garth Nix), Dark Towers (Stephen King), Anita Blake Vampire Hunter (Laurell K. Hamilton), Firefly (Joss Whedon), Vampire Hunter D (don't remember that author's name at the moment), The Matrix (The Wachowski brothers--I think) Hunter's Oath (Michelle West)
