FAQs
Or What You Always Wanted to Ask


arrow What can I order? As I said above, I'll do black and white avatar headshots. No OC, no full-bodies, no color pics, no backgrounds, sorry. sweatdrop

arrow Why all that fuss about the payment system? It's so complicated that it's giving me a headache! gonk It's to ensure that nobody cheats nobody. I'll start doing the pic after you have sent the money, because that way I can be sure that you actually have the money. I won't accept the trade until the pic is done so you can make sure I'm not going to get your money and vanish. I'll send you a watermarked version of the finished pic to see that you don't steal it, and so you can see that the pic is actually finished and I'm not cheating you. Then I get the money, to ensure that you won't cancel the trade after I have sent you the pic, and finally you get the art. Thus, everyone is happy. 3nodding

arrow I want to order. When should I send you the trade? You must send it after I have accepted your order, and you have three days to do it (hey, don't complain, some artists give you just half an hour!). If I don't see the money in three days, your order will be cancelled.

I assume that people have a life and they may not be logging in every day, and that's why I'm granting you three days, but on the other hand, ordering something without having the money to pay it and then begging for time to get it is a lack of respect towards the vendor (Deuxia, esto NO va por ti, tu caso es distinto. heart ). It is something that has already happened to me several times since I'm a Gaian, and was one of the reasons I stopped doing commissions altogether, so this time I'm going to be adamant. stare

arrow How long will it take to finish my pic? Honestly, I don't know, as I'm a busy person. I'll try to have it as soon as I can, but I ask you to be patient. Art requires time, and I'm a slow artist. Of course, feel free to visit the shop any time and ask about the current status of your order.

arrow And if you can't finish it? If for some reason, I couldn't get your art finished, I'd let you know and cancel the trade immediately, so no harm is done!

arrow And what if I don't like the finished piece? Will you redraw it or give my money back? I won't, sorry. I'm such a perfectionist that I usually spend hours with just one pic (have you ever spent more than ten or fifteen hours just working on a lineart? Well, I have sweatdrop ) , so the piece you'll receive will be the best I can offer. If you don't like it, blame it on my lack of skill. I will do minor edits, though, in case I forgot to draw something, for example.

arrow Only two slots? Why? crying Because I'm busy, and I don't work well under pressure. Besides, this is a mini-shop, after all. 3nodding

arrow Can I order more than one pic? One headshot = one slot. This means that if, for example, there are two free slots, you can order up to two headshots.

arrow What about couples? As I said before, one headshot = one slot. A couple would count as two slots, so you can order a pic with two headshots if both slots are free.

arrow Is there a waiting list? No, for the reasons stated above. Having a waiting list would be like opening lots of slots, and I can't afford that.

arrow Why did you open the shop? Because I need gold to buy art, and to force me to draw more often. And to give Gaia another -and probably the last- chance after several bad experiences in the business.

arrow What do you use to do your piccies? I used Opencanvas and a way too old A4 Wacom Graphire 2 tablet, but I finally bought a brand new A3 Wacom Intuos 3 (way too expensive, but it was worth saving for such a long time 4laugh ). My pics are 100% digital.

arrow When I came to your shop, people were speaking in a strange language... crying Well, Spanish is my mother tongue, as well as some of my friends', so we might be speaking in that language. Most of us can speak English, though, so don't let it scare you. 3nodding

arrow Your English is bad, you know? Yep, I know. Apologizes, and bear with me. sweatdrop sweatdrop

arrow The actual spelling is "art shop" and not "artshop"... Yeah, but the actual shop's name is "Munia's B&W Mini-Artshop." Hence, I own an art shop called "Mini-Artshop." Yeah, I'm weird and my explanations suck. sweatdrop

arrow There are way too many FAQs!!!! gonk Yes, but doesn't everyone love them? 4laugh rofl

arrow Ask your question here... and I'll answer it here. 3nodding

Prices & Samples
What you get and how much it costs


arrow Prices:

The standard price for each headshot is 5k (that is, 5000 gold).

The avatars will be manga-style. Once in a while, I might be tempted to do realism if you really really insist upon it, but keep in mind that:

* You'll have to beg, and beg, and then beg a little bit more.

* The pic will be more expensive (7k), as it takes lots more effort.

* I'm not very good at realism, so chances are that the pic is not as good as you expected. It will be probably much worse.

* If your avi looks pathetic in the pic because of the strange stuff it has on it, don't hold me responsible. In my humble opinion, most of those cool Gaia outfits are not meant to be worn by real people. sweatdrop

How To Order
A five easy steps mini-guide


This is important, so read it carefully and follow the instructions. 3nodding

arrow Step one. Check if there is any free slot, as our order won't be accepted if all are full. And keep in mind that I'm using a FIFO (first in, first out) system, which means that if, for example, there are only two slots open and three requests, I will only accept the first two.

arrow Step two. Fill in the following form and post it in the topic. Don't PM it to me!


[color=red]Gaia user: (The name of the avi you want me to draw goes here).
Comments: (Anything you have or want to say, say it here).
Screenshot: (Add a screenshot of the avi here).
[/color]


arrow Step three. Once I have accepted your order (not before!), you must send me a trade with the money. I won't start working on your order until you have sent me the trade. Also, if you don't send the money in 3 days time, your order will be cancelled.

arrow Step four. When the pic is finished, and only then, I'll accept the trade and send you a watermarked screenshot.

arrow Step five. Check that everything's OK, then let me know and confirm the trade. After that, I'll send you the full version of the pic.

And that's it!! Easy, isn't it? blaugh

Oh, and one more thing: once I've sent you the pic, please save it and upload it to your own server. 4laugh
