Hello, and welcome to my art freebie thread! Now, you're probably wondering why I chose the name of Sliced Kiwi. Honestly, I wanted something random, and when I happened upon a picture of sliced kiwi, I remembered how much I love kiwi, and that was that. Besides, it's sort of cute. :3

Anyways, on to the purpose of this thread. I know my art isn't that great - believe me, I know. But, I did just start drawing for the very first time on the computer - for the very first time ever. I have practically no experience when it comes to art, and I figured if I made a freebie thread I could get loads of practice. I want to improve by the end of the summer, and with this thread I'm pretty sure I can achieve that goal.

So, order some art! Even if you don't necessarily like the finished product, just know that you helped me to improve and that it means a lot to me that you did. Each and every order counts because each and every one helps me improve. So, even if you get art you think is completely crappy, be happy that you helped me to get better and that I am one step closer to achieving my goal. That's something to feel good about, right? I think it is!

What are you waiting for?! Go read the rules and order some art! I really appreciate it when you do - it makes me feel like people want my art and it helps me to improve. It's a win-win situation - you get some free art and I get better at drawing! Yay!

I have a lot of plans for myself later on in life. I plan on getting far in the world of law and politics. I want to become the first woman president. I also want to have a family. Just two children - a boy and a girl. (Well, I hope it works out that way!) I also want to have a ton of pets: a Golden Retriever, a cat (like my Sam), a snake, two aquariums (one saltwater, one freshwater), and whatever else comes to mind. I'm also going to own a huge house and an Aston Martin. Well, I hope so. :]

My life, forever and always, will be pretty crazy, but I like it that way. It always keeps me busy, it always keeps me guessing what will happen next, and it always keeps me wanting more. I wouldn't have it any other way.

  • Follow the TOS. That should be a no-brainer.
  • Be nice and respectful to everyone in the thread. I'm not going to give art to someone who is rude.
  • Post the order form in the thread. Do NOT PM it to me. That is a sure fire way to not get any art at all.
  • Actually, please don't PM me at all. My inbox gets full quite quickly, so post all questions you may have in the thread. I'll be sure to answer them as quickly as possible.
  • Please don't rush me when it comes to making your art. They don't take me very long to make to begin with, but sometimes I don't have a lot of free time and it may take a day or two for me to get you your art. Please be patient - it is free after all.
  • Please pick up all art in the pick up post. I will not PM it to you.
  • Just because I put you on the waiting list doesn't mean you will stay on there. Please stick around and chat until I draw you. If you don't, I have the right to take you off the waiting list and put a more active person in your spot. You can request later on if you promise to be a little more active.
  • Put "Sliced Kiwi is delicious" somewhere in your post when you order art. It shows that you read the rules before ordering. If you don't, I have the right to refuse to draw you. Also, don't edit it into your post. I will refuse to draw you.
  • Don't steal my art. I know it's not very good to begin with, but I would really appreciate it if you didn't. I did have to work to make it, and you shouldn't steal someone else's work.
  • Don't stretch the page and please avoid quote towers. Also, don't advertise here.
  • I have the right to take off any items I can't draw or feel would make your drawing look not as good as it could look. I'm still starting out, so some items might prove to be a challenge. I do try to draw everything, though, because drawing everything is just more practice. :]
  • I made all of the graphics in this thread, with the exception of the banner in the first post. Please don't steal any of them. I worked hard on them and it would anger me greatly if I found someone using them and claiming them as their own.
  • Please do not take my signature off your art.
  • Last, but not least, have fun!

Rules are subject to change at any time. I will add or take away rules as I see fit, but nothing will be too cruel. ;]

For the time being, I will be using an order form to see who wants art. It will be easier for me until I get more settled into the thread. XD Also, I will only be drawing singles for the time being. In addition, you'll mostly be recieving headshots. Fullbodies will be reserved for those who stick around here a lot, or for those who have super easy avatars to draw. XD

I won't be drawing super cluttered avatars. That's just a little unnecessary and it makes drawing really difficult.

Oh, and tipping will not make me draw you before others. It's a first come, first serve basis, but tipping is extremely nice and will help me on my quest for Golden Laurels! (I will also love you forever. :3)


[b]Username:[/b]
[b]Avatar:[/b] (Please post an IMAGE of the avatar you want drawn.)

[b]Extra:[/b] (Anything extra. -cough-specialphrase-cough-)
[b]Tip?:[/b]


An example of a completed order form would be:
Username: radical raspberries
Avatar: User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Other: Ohh, a star, maybe? And can my avatar be smiling?
Extra: Sliced kiwi is delicious!
Tip?: Yes! :]

Remember to post it in the thread!

Oh, what you've all been waiting for: the samples! I'll be adding more as my art improves and if my style changes.

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6


Yeah, my art isn't that great, but that's why I'm trying to improve! :]

As for the waiting list, I will take five at a time. Don't worry if you don't get on it immediately - you'll be the next in line when I finish a slot! I might not go in order, either, but don't worry too much about that. :]

Also, if you'd like to make me a button, I'd love you dearly! I just made this simple one which works for now, but I'm hoping someone will make me a better one. XD Oh, and please try to keep it 88x31. :]
