• Myuu~ I've returned from my month long AWOL. Sorry about that folks. Had some reality checks to deal with, as well as lots of senioritis symptoms and procrastination fits...etc. Anyway, I'm back. Ish. I've reopened the shop, but right now, I'm REALLY, REALLY SICK of drawing Gaian avatars. It must be a phase. I don't know how long it'll last, but it won't end anytime soon.
SO: If you wanna order, make it either OC or fanart please. If you insist on having it a Gaian avatar, then make it small and simple, like a monochrome headshot sketch or something. That's all I'll be accepting for now.
PS: I welcome any and all characters that I can bishounen-ize. This includes pretty guys.

Note: This shop is best viewed on a 1280 x 800 pixel screen.

Hello there! Greetings! I'm Ferdverel, or Ferd for short, your everyday, average, procrastinating lazy lousy artist-person.
How do you do? Nice to meet you.

Anyway, to the point: this is my little badly-designed art shop.
I draw stuff for people, and people give me money and items for it. Simple, yes?

I try my best to finish my commissions on time and to the best of my ability at the time,
but of course, life has its callings as well.
I hope everyone can bear with me during those times I fall short on whatever I try to do.

Anyway:
I have three avaliable art styles in my shop:

• Chibi Style
Cute, less detailed, slightly deformed features. Takes a little to moderate time to finish depending on whether it's colored or not.

• Normal Style
Regular, proportional and more details. Takes moderate to a long time to finish depending on the size and if it's colored or not.

• Whatever Style
I choose how I want to draw: it could be anything from chibi to regular to line art to experimental styles to almost stick-like figurines. It's cheaper because it depends on what I feel like drawing at the time, so I'm more comfortable with it. It also takes less time for me to finish.
Order at your own risk.

You can choose if you want me to write anything in your commission: i.e. a username, a nickname, etc. After all, it's going to be your art, yes? You'd want people to know the person in it is who you want it to be and nobody else, yes?
Well, it all depends on you. (^w^)

Details about my prices are listed in the Prices section.

Thanks for visiting!

Rules

• Follow the TOS!
• No stealing my art! (I don't think it's possible, I mean who would want my art anyway, but just to be safe...)
• Please fill out the order form when ordering. Or at least make some sense as to what you want me to draw. PMs are okay too. I'm a pushover usually, but if your order makes absolutely no sense to me, I won't accept it.
• Send payment immediately after ordering!
• Don't order when my waiting list is full. I'll just ignore you.
• My art isn't free. So don't bother trying to beg.
• Art may take from 1 week to 4 weeks to finish. Be patient. I'm lazy, and busy this year.
• No canceling a trade or not paying for art already drawn for you, or I'll report you.
• You may only cancel for art I have not finished, started on yet, or if you changed your mind.
• I will accept pure, and most monthly collectables. I won't accept commons unless they are actually worth the price of my art.
• No sending me thousands of bugs or trash...or anything like that.

I WILL draw:

• Simple to semi-cluttered avatars. I prefer drawing simple characters. The more realistic the character looks (like, normal-looking in real life), the better. Some simple fantasy elements like wings, animal ears or tails, are also okay.

• Singles and couples

• Fanart (provided with reference and/or detailed description)
[[ These include characters from anime, manga, video games, movies, and so on. ]]

• Original Characters (provided with reference and/or detailed description)
[[ These include fanfiction characters you created, and basically anything/anyone you made up yourself. ]]

I WILL NOT draw:

• Super cluttered avatars (like, over 15 items, or covering the body entirely...and stuff like that)

• Furries/Anthro

• Full-out kissing pictures ( chibi-kissing is ok )

• Nudity / Anything beyond PG-13 (underwear or blood is fine, but keep it to a min please)

• Wierd / hard hairstyles (like certain elemental hairstyles)

• Mecha/robots

• Macho / super-muscles (like the DBZ-kind)

• Commissions with backgrounds cost an extra minimum of 500 g, whereas the default is the plain white background. The more detailed the background, the more expensive it'll be.

• Extra characters are 5000 g each, no matter what kind it is. So let's say you order a chibi mono headshot pic with 3 people. That'll be 3000 (first character) + 5000 (second character) + 5000 (third character): total = 13000 g.

Slots and Finished Art

I won't be doing many avatars all at once. I'm a very, very busy girl, you see...And I have a good tendency to procrastinate...and be lazy...and stuff.
