The above hearts were made by me and are free to take and use, as long as you don't claim you made them and you don't re-sell them.
If someone asks you where you took them, please direct them here.
I can make other colours if you want to 3nodding

General Rules
1. Respect Gaia rules.
2. Be polite to others and to me.
3. Try to use grammar and punctuation in your posts.
4. Bumps are ok, spam... is not. Spam is when you bump too much - keep at least 15 minutes between each bump.
5. Don't PM me with shop questions unless I told you so. Post them in the thread. If instead of posting in the thread you PM me, I can delete your message if I'm in a bad mood. Be warned.
6. I created everything in this shop. So don't steal my art.


To get a Pixel
1. Post the order form on this thread. Copy all the form, tags included.
2. Send the trade at once. Please put in the trade subject the number of the page your order is in. If you don't, I'm not responsible if I overlook it.
3. I'll confirm the trade before posting your Pixel. Then it will be posted on the topic, not PMed to you.
4. No refunds. Sorry.

This is the order form (copy it all, tags included!):


For Pixel owners
Please direct-link your Pixels, so I can change their appearence when they grow.
Roleplaying is allowed in this thread, but remember to follow the RP rules.

Example of a Pixel

1: The Pixel (in this case a basic purple egg)
2: Mood Stars. If you're around, the pet gains stars. Otherwise it loses them. Zero stars, and it'll probably get another owner.
3: Pixel's name. There's a max of 8 characters.
4: Pixel's stage. There are 5 stages: egg, cracked egg, baby, young, adult.
The background of this Pixel is Day.

Colors
Default colors (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple)
300 gold each.

Custom colors
500 gold each.
If you want a certain colour, you can post the hexadecimal code, or a link to an image containing the colour you want, or the MS paint numbers (hue/sat/lum)... anything goes.
Otherwise just name the colour and I'll do my best to match it.

Striped, spotted or checkered
600g for those, pick 2 colors.

Rainbow

700g, please pick which style (1, 2, 3 or 4) you like best.

Butterfly pixel

2k, pick the colours for the wings and the body.

Angelic pixel

2k, pick the colours for the wings and the body. Please only choose pastel/light colours for the wings, otherwise it won't look good.

100% custom pet
This means you get the choose the look of your Pixel. You can get animals, characters, cosplay, whatever. Restrictions: you can't have demonic and elementals because they're sold through auctions.
3k each (might be less if you ask for simple things like stripes)
You can also have a custom Pixel with a custom habitat. That's 6.5k or a letter.
((Ok, letter prices inflated, so nevermind. They used to be 6k just months ago.))
For custom orders I also take items, ask.

Habitats
I'm in the process of re-organizing the habitats and adding new stuff. If there's something not clear, ask me.
You might notice I changed some prices: some got lower, some got higher.


From left to right, we have day, dawn/dusk and night.
1st row: basic (free)
2nd row: with tree (+100g)
3rd row: with rainbow (+100g)
4th row: with castle (+200g)
You can also mix-and-match those, for example you can order night with castle and tree (300g), or day with rainbow and tree (200g).
Mix-and-match samples.


Other stuff to mix-and-match! You can as always order day, dusk or night, I just haven't got samples yet.
Change the grass colour to dry yellow or autumn orange (+100g).
Add a tree with fallen leaves - choose between green or red leaves (+100g).
Add a stream (+100g).
With mountains or snowcapped mountains (+100g).
Ignore the Xmas thingy, check post #2 for that, it's in the wrong place >>



Please read your order twice if you're choosing from the 2nd row wink
1st row: day beach, dawn beach, night beach (150g)
2nd row: clouds (100g), clouds with rainbow (200g), rainbow clouds (100g) [!]
3rd row: snow (100g), space (100g), underwater (see below)
Underwater is 100g, plus 50g for every add-on you want. Currently available: algae, fish, anchor. Add-on preview.


Rooms (150g)
Those can be customized with your favourite colours/textures.
Step 1: choose a texture for the wall and the floor

Wall: plain (A), stripes (B), hearts (C), stars (D), circles (E).
Floor: plain (A), wood (B), carpet (C).
OR get a custom one for an added 100g (easy things only, please).
Step 2: choose the colours
In your order, clearly state the colour of the floor, 1st colour for the wall and 2nd colour for the wall (the hearts, stars and circles in the sample).
If you choose colours that go very bad together and hurt sight, I reserve the right of changing them into something more decent.


Graffiti wall (1k)
Pick a short text (max 7-8 letters, otherwise it's too small to be read) and a colour for the text, wall and floor.

Moving
You can move your Pixel from an habitat to another. It costs 100 gold + the price of the habitat you're moving to.
(Examples: moving to beach costs 250, moving to night costs 100)
If you wish to move back later, you will still have to pay 100 + habitat price.

Extra rooms
If your Pixel needs extra space, you can purchase extra rooms. They're abour the same size of a normal box (so with 1 extra room you'll double your space, etc.) and they're linked to the main room with a tube. Each extra room costs 100 gold + the price of the habitat (choose habitats from the above list).

1. To breed, the two Pixels must be both stage 5 and have five happiness stars.
Both owners must post the Breeding form, and one of them must send me a trade with 1.5k gold. It's up to you how to divide the cost.
((Price has been raised because everyone was breeding winged pixels and they're quite a pain in the back. If you're breeding two non-winged, non-special, non-custom pixels, the price is only 1k.))

2. I will create a box like the usuals, with both Pixels in. This box can't have extra rooms, and it has got hearts instead of stars. The hearts show the love between the Pixels - more hearts mean more love, and more eggs.

3. If you want to, you can post in the breeding RP thread This will affect the number of hearts, as well as posts in this topic and how the Pixel was cared for in the past.
Thread -> http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9927469

4. After a week or so, the female will lay from 1 to 5 eggs (usually 3-4).
UPDATE: Please post in the thread when you're done RPing (sorry, PMing me led to people misunderstanding and PMing me to ask me various crap >> wink
The colour of the eggs depends mainly on the colour of the parents, but who knows what can happen...
You could also get special colours wink

5. In a week's time, you must choose a name and a habitat for each Pixel (of course, paying for beach, space, etc.)
It's up to you to decide who will keep which egg, or if you want to sell them. In this case 20% of the profit goes back to the shop.
You can also put them up for adoption. The new owner will pay a 200 gold fee (more for rare colors), and half of it will go to you.

Fill in this form and post it in the topic.
Preferences are just... preferences! I'm not obliged to follow them, but I could if you RP, are nice with me and the others, etc.

Unluckily, some owners think that the Pixels are just pretty rectangles to decorate a signature or journal.
Since I spend a lot of time to update them, I'd be glad to see a bit of activity around the shop. I don't require RP (although it's greatly appreciated), just that you pop in every week or so to show you're still alive.
If after some months someone hasn't showed up, their pets will be put in the Adoption Center without warning.
Everyone is welcome to adopt a pet, regardless of how many they have.

To adopt, just send the trade and put the name of the Pixel(s) you want in the trade title.
I'd also appreciate it if you post in the thread that you're adopting a Pixel, so other people know.
It's first come first serve, but I have the right of reserving Pixels for certain people.

There's currently no pet in the Adoption Center.
