@xuvrette: I don't think advertising is bad unless it's completely off topic. XD I was talking about commissions, so I think that was fine.

Well I'll be starting to commission on Mene again once I save up more gold. :3 Cake comes first though.

*shot*

Every time people mention art shops on Gaia, I remember I need to finish a lot of commissions there. T_T

*sighs* I better...start arting. 8D *will peek in occasionally* ^^

Lol, Tori, feel happy that at least people commission you! No one commission me. T__T

xuvrette: some are understandable though if they are in demand :'( ooh so can i have a link to your shop here? I wanna see XD

Ferra: I know exactly what you mean D: that make me disappointed a bit.. though I also understand artist point of view as well. they want to make the most out of their time. almost too much lol

ToriKat: morning :D hope you had a great rest!

how long ago was your gaia commission? I owe this auction piece for.. many months already haha.

Nexess: oooh zantarni. think I log on there like.. twice haha. it's pretty neat looking site.

@ Xuv - Can I take a look at your art?

@Mai: Well since there still is a demand, I can understand charging a lot for it. :0 The only thing that's a bummer is if they also string along the commission forever.

Speaking of, I still have two RL commissions I've been waiting over a year for the artists to complete. ^^;

<-<; wow, I totally just remembered how much crap I needed to sell on zantarni, so I went and listed everything in a selling shop over there and the list is like huuuuuge! then again I do have like 16 pages of inventory over there =\ But now I have to suffer with taking offers on random stuff D: -hates selling stuff-

But... lol, my art so BIG in the sig already, why still need a link? :lol:

Ferra: oh yes, I don't like that either. like they just keep accepting more, but won't finish the old ones. for me I got this ... trade on hold for over a year now. and that girl just keep accepting more commissions and stuffs. she told me she has no time to complete mine lol. aa well.

did you prepaid for those ro commissions? that's really bad you have to wait that long D:


Nexess: selling stuff can be tedious sometimes @[email protected]


xuvrette: ooh I didn't know you drew that. that's pretty nice :D

@ Xuv - You drew your siggy? Its gorgeous, Anna loves it! How much do you demand for something like that?

<-<;; it's not the actual selling that's hard there, it's selling 100+ items, most being commons.

@Mai: I know exactly how that is! D: There were two artists that canceled my commissions after months because they "just didn't have time" even though they kept taking on more work or drawing for other people. =/

One of them I paid in advance, but she refunded me. She said she'd still draw me the picture though, but I'm not counting on it at this point. The other girl just keeps on taking more work or doing newer commissions even though I'm probably the oldest commissioner she needs to complete. ^^; That and she does a lot of detail fanart in her spare time.

@Nexess: I save myself from the hassle of selling by almost never selling anything. 8D;

*hugs Ferra and Dystopia* Thanks yous~
I don't know why, I just don't get customer in gaia! O_O
The siggy art is a contest piece to the art contest for thi event. XD

I still have a gallery, it is in the quest thread. Imageshack Gallery. O_O yeah, I AM pushing people to go to my quest thread. : P

@ Xuv - ._. Anna wants to commish you.

Nexess: /don't know how it's like on zantarni :D.. but that seems like a lot of stuffs to sell.

Ferra: >_> that's not fun. I wouldn't want to commission that kind of artist again. then again, they probably wouldn't be interested in drawing my stuffs later if they didn't before haha.

good that at least she refund you D: one of my friend paid a couple in advance and never got the refund and no art. AND that was long time ago with the artist still keep accepting order and finish other works but not hers. :( I am really curious which one you commission. would it be ok if I pm you XD?

:twisted: Dystopia would need to wait until I finish with this Pudao Commission. O_O
Or, you can have a quickie freebie from meh if you join the contest in teh quest thread. bwahahaha~ *sorethrout for laughing toooo muchy*

O_O RL commission! I am afraid of that!

@Mai: Certainly! PMs are fine anytime. :3 (I didn't mean to rhyme. XD)

Well I'm still waiting because I really liked the first one the one girl drew for my friends and I (we commissioned three separate pictures from her) and the second artist also has a nice style. ^^;

@ Xuv - TO THE QUEST THREAD! *dashes off*

-twitches- I haaaaate selling so much right now. But yes I've saved myself for like two years by not selling, but it's lead me to this D:

Why Nexess is not selling?
*faints*

Cause on zany I never sold anything, I always just gave things away so I wouldn't have to do the whole bidding and selling deal. But now I have like ober expensive items left and I have to sell them D:

Ferra: *pm* :D I'm sure they do. you have very nice taste! I love all the arts you got. just too bad they don't really complete for you :(

Nexess: wow two years worth of stuffs. *pats* just sell them bit by bit ya.

@mai: Well...for my shop, people have been waiting since December. I have one auction done around...eh...*has to think* back in the summer that has a lot of pieces that need to be completed. I've been sending the commissioner previews of my status. ^^; He's a sweetheart, so I'm glad he's patient.

My friends had an auction and the guy not only withdrew his original offer, but he's been giving them so much attitude they told him they wouldn't do it. D:

this December? that's not too bad. I owe that auction in march lol 8D /bad. I am pulling it off this long since we got separate trade >>;; hope your auction/shop pieces aren't too hard or boring to work on? it always nice to have a patience commissioner :D <3

ermm that's not nice that he did that. I wouldn't wanna draw for someone like that :(

*PMed back*

I like a lot of different art styles though, but there's only a limited amount I've been able to commission or get art from. :3 But thank you! <3

@ToriKat: Ugh, people shouldn't ever withdraw bids, and I always feel bad when I cause problems for artists. D: I haaaate having to point out errors in a picture, but I figure I better do it if it's something I paid for.
