Below are some items that I will definately accept. Items found in stores will be worth 80% of the store price (This is because I don't really want people to just run to the Marketplace and buy items..would be bad if you bought a bunch of items but for some reason I cannot accept your commission. I'd feel guilty.) Items not found in stores, read the previous paragraph. This does not mean I won't accept any other items; just that I like these, in particular.
1. Red Complex Shirt (Male) x 1
2. Black Complex Shirt (Male) x 1
3. White Complex Shirt (Male) x 1
4. Devil's Horns x 1
5. Angelic Pendant x 1
6. Royal Blue Musketeer Hat x 1
7. Laurels (Green leafy headpiece, I do not want the gold.)
8. Envelopes--a lot of diff. envelopes I like lots. PM me, and we can go over this. ^.^ heart

<Samples of Finished Simple Colored Pictures (These two were 8K or under because they were uber-sweet customers and my first customers heart >
Section 2.1: Customized Art, Medium
Colored sketch of your character, medium level of detail. 5K more if background wanted. Please realize that if you ask for a background, it would help if you describe it. If you just want your character put on a pre-drawn background, then it's 25K. The 5K additional is only if you want this new background drawn on the compy.
Price:
25K without background
30K with background
Payment Accepted:
GP and items are accepted.
<center>
</center>
Section 2.2: Complex Customized Art
These are pictures with backgrounds, more time taken, and a lot more detail. The more description you provide, the better the end-results. Please be specific. Up to three characters in color. These will take more time to complete, so please be patient. Usually, these will be auctioned pieces because I don't get as many requests for these.
Price:
<<Undecided>>
Payment Accepted:
GP and items are accepted.
Section 2.3: Additional Characters
Each additional character after the first two will cost more. I don't mind couple pics, that's cute and wonderful, but more people means it gets more complicated and more time consuming, you know? This is also to discourage people from trying to cram 10 people into one picture and trying to staple a 10K pricetag on that. sweatdrop
Payment Accepted:
GP and items accepted.
Section 2.4: Other
Stuff like...wishlists, banners, bump-bars, etc. might be doable, but gotta PM. Cause this would be a little more difficult to price; some wishlists may cost much less than banners, or vice-versa. No clue till we ask. wink Samples below are for a RP I run so they were free. Plushies come free with any purchase. If you would like a plushie, PM me, if I have time I'll do them for fun. If I don't, I guess I can't? Banners I have to charge for cause after a while they take too long. The cards you see below aren't banners. They're plushies stuck onto a simple background. If you provide the background I can put your plushie onto the background. biggrin Normal banners though, that you want drawn, will be closer to picture prices. If you bought a picture before and you want me to turn that into a banner, that's easily doable and will run like 500gp or less. But if it needs to be newly drawn, then it's not gonna be below 500gp. Sorry.
Section 2.5: Approximate Time-Line:
Auctions:
Auction pieces will vary. Depending on what's being auctioned, the finish date of the piece will depend on two things: a) What type is it? Does it fall under Simple, Medium, or Complex? b) When is the close of the auction? c) How detailed and clear-cut you are about your description; this means less e-mailing and PM-ing, which means time saved. In general, about 7-9 days for pieces from Auctions, unless there are some problems with payment or details about the picture, or unless it's a huge piece. Auctioned pieces hold priority most of the time; the only exception is if there is a piece that's being worked on that's for friends or birthdays or something like that. Then those may occassionally come first.
Really Simple Customized Art:
These take about a week, from the day you send me the final details on what you want done to the day it is completed. If it takes more than 9 days to finish, I will start reducing the final price because it is unfair for you to have to wait nearly forever.
Customized Art, Medium
These take between 8-11 days from the time you send me the final details till the day that it is completed. How long it takes for you to check your inbox and send the GP I don't know; but I will send you a copy with "Sample" stamped on it, to let you know it's finished. smile If it takes more than 11 days to complete, I will start reducing the final price because again, it's silly to make you wait so long. If there are exceptions...like...if the Customized Art you are asking for is really closer to being almost Complex, then I'll tell you ahead of time that it's going to take longer, and then ask if you still would like to go through with it.
Complex Customized Art
These take a while, but have priority over almost everything else. These are up there with Auctions, and take anywhere between 7-14 days, depending on what it is you are asking for, how many people you have in the picture, what you wanted the background to be, how much detail, what kind of effects, etc. etc. I can't really guaruntee anything on this because I'm not sure how long this would take or anything; some go faster some go slower. One suggestion... Make what you want very, very detailed.
I want my avi fencing like on Utena!
stressed sweatdrop <Facepalm.> <Gathers self together and tries to figure out where to even begin asking for details...>
I would like my character to be fencing. I want her to have orange hair like she has as my avi; but more golden highlights, tied back by little clips on both sides away from her face. I want the look on her face to be fierce, determined, and her outfit should be in the same style as the characters off Utena, except I want hers lined gold and her pants like Touga's. Also on her sword, I want it more like a hybrid between epee and rapier. Shoes probably darker colored; maybe black? On the pose, I want it to be the pose you would have right before a lunge. She will be left-handed, therefore left shoulder out left foot out, right hand behind. I want her slightly crouched and lunging as if aiming for the torso. If possible, have the sun coming from behind so that her face is shaded a touch.
On the background, I want it to be the same as where they fence in Utena; ontop of that huge tilted building with a million stairs and the elevator where they always make weird non-sensical statements in about eggs and chicks and such. I want it to be sunrise, not sunset or anything. Not an orange sunrise, but a golden one, where right above the golden sunrise is a rosey, sugar-pink, maybe a little paler than sugar-pink. If possible, could you have some of the duelists from Utena watching? In the sunset, I want there to be a faint image of my avi's face enlarged but facing the other direction; similar but instead of being all determined, have it be kind of a smirk of someone who knows she is going to win, instead of the expression of someone who wants to, needs to win?
Oh yeah! And her rose should be golden. Thanks.

This is a most w heart ndermous day! ^___^!!!!> <marks little calendar with a happy Wal-Mart sticker, cause people actually bothered to spell out words and say something quite helpful and useful, making life easier, and the world a better place, and probably saving energy and reducing nuclear waste from power plants because I didn't have to spend hours on my computer draining electricity and clogging up the lines asking for further details...>
Made-Up Examples of a Request (I'd never post anything from a PM here.):
Dear LoveOfArt,
I would like Medium Customized Art, portrait/realistic-style. I want it of me and my friend DozenLove. I'd like if DozenLove could be hugging a plushie of me, and have her in a toga with laurels and feathery angel wings. The plushie of me, please just do as my avatar appears. For the background, could you have cloud-filled sky, or maybe cloud-filled sky, but some faded ancient Greek ruins as the background? How soon can can it be done, and what's the final price? Do you accept Teddy Bear PJ's?
DozenLove
Bob
Sincerely,
Bob
Dear Bob,
The price for Medium Customized Art is between 25K-30K..? Because what you are describing doesn't involve drawing a separate background (if you can provide what you want in the background, or some reference site?) it will be closer to 25K. However, if you want me to draw the background, that's going to cost more. Although I said in the shop that I will accept items, I kind of don't know about Teddy PJ's...can you try selling that instead? Because I'm not quite sure what the price of PJ's are right now. I'm guessing this picture will take 4-6 days to finish. If you have any other questions or details you'd like to provide, please PM me whenever. smile
Sincerely,
LoveOfArt
