Artist looking for work. Tips appreciated.

Welcome!

I'm setting up a temporary an art shop mostly because I'd like to practice some drawing and I have a bit of time on my hands. Depending on how things go, I may decide to make it somewhat more permanent. (Things have gone pretty well, so I'll be keeping the shop open indefinately.) This is my first art shop, so please bear with me. ^^

Most of my past avatar art can be found here, on my deviantart account. Granted, these drawings are all rather old and all but one are of Gaia avatars (that's why I want to do some more drawing!), but they should be able to provide you with a rough idea of my skill level and style.
Edit: All drawings done for the shop or Menewshans are also uploaded for your perusal. ^^

Prices:

As it says at the top, I'm working for tips. That's right. You decide how much you believe I've earned after the piece is delivered. If you're not sure what to pay me, I'm listing the price I was paid for every finished piece which you can find in the next post. Don't fret over it too much though, I'm not gonna get angry and say it's not enough. ^__^

Order Form:

No form. Just post if you're interested. Let me know what you want drawn (your avatar, an original char, etc), any particular pose or details you want added, etc. and I'll let you know if it sounds like something I can do or not.

Time Frame:

How long it will take me to get a piece to you after commissioning may vary. It's dependent on things like my job, chores, scanner issues, unexpected crises, and life in general. So they could take a few days, a week, or only a couple of hours. Just to be on the safe side though, I'm going to say that drawings will take about a week in general.

Color?:

Unfortunately, no. I have no talent with digitally coloring things and I don't even have any photo editing software installed. However, if you would like to commission someone else to color a drawing I have done for you, I have no problem with that. Just please remember (and make sure they remember) to give me credit for base art.

Commissions:

In order to ensure that I don't get backed up with work and that your piece is given the time and consideration it is due (as well as to ensure it gets to you relatively quickly), I will only be taking two commissions at a time.

1.
2.

Knerd's commissions complete with only scanning left to do. Reopening. ^__^

Oh dear! Let's try getting this back on the first page, shall we? Even though they weren't commissioned through the shop, I'll be posting links to the drawings I did for Knerd.

Hello. <3 I'd like a headshot of my current avatar. No particular pose, really. This avatar is meant to be ghost like.

All right. I'll add you to the list and get started right away. ^__^ *Does the first customer dance.*

All right! All finished. ^^ I'll PM in case you aren't trolling. Please let me know either via a reply here or PM what kind of compensation it warrants.

My net died for about an hour. e_o; I sent the gold before reading this, but I think it still deserves 135 gold. Thank you. <3

Thank you very much. ^__^ I'm glad it meets with your expectations.

.::rolls into thread::. >w>

Hallo, Crimson. How are you doing?

I'm doing very well, how about yourself? :3

Doing pretty well. ^^ I found some Starburst in my room while looking for something so I'm enjoying fruity, sugary goodness!

Starburst for the win. x3

I love starburst >w>

Me too. ^^ Starburst and Skittles are my favorites. If I found loose Skittles lying around though I think I'd have to throw them out; y'know, them not being individually wrapped and all. Good thing they were Starburst.

xD; Agreed.
I prefer sour things. o 3o;

I love Sour Patch Kids. x3 They make me twitter.

Not me. Sour just makes me kinda cringe up. I'll leave all the sour candies to you.

Good deal. >w>b
I freakin' love sour stuff.
I don't know why, when I was little I used to hate it. I didn't even like Nerds when I was little because when you bite into them they were kind of sour. <.<

I've never liked sour stuff. I have always liked Nerds though (the strawberry kind, at least). They certainly aren't one of my favorites, mind you, but they're not bad.

I like any kind of candy as long as it's not primarily sweet.
I hate bubble gum flavored stuff, it's too sweet. All my candy has to have some sort of sour twinge.
JOLLY RANCHERS.
Are the bomb.

The only kind of Jolly Rancher I ever liked were the lemon ones. Sadly, they seem to have stopped making the lemon ones. v.v I really like most lemon-flavored candies.

I like watermelon flavored EVERYTHING.

That's another thing I'll leave to you then. I've never liked watermelon. Or... any melon, for that matter.

Well hello!
Thank you for posting in my OC art request thread~ Obviously it did some good if I"m here now~ Right?
Well, as you know, I'm looking for art of my character Madison, whether you do a full body or hwatnot is your choice.
I will give you like, 200 gold for a bust, 300 for a wasit up or 500 for a full body~ Or something like that XD lol.

If that's more than what people would normally say, well, I have the gold to spare so I really don't care. XD lol.
incase you need the information link again

As for pose and such, whatever your hand draws works for me.

Thank you for checking me out. Sounds great to me. I'll put you on the list and hopefully I'll get started with it tomorrow. ^^
