Buying Art with Event Currency and Gold
 
Since I have decided to finally quit (sorry any friends who are still around), so any currency I get from this event I will use towards art.

I also have lots of gold that I want to use on art as well.

So basically, I am buying art with any gold and currency I have and get. I also have items that haven't sold yet if you wanna know about them.

I don't mean to link to Gaia, but it's easiest to show you guys what I want drawn, which are my OCs: Looking for Art of my OCs | First Page | Forum | Gaia Online

Just post your samples and prices and we will talk. I want no headshots or busts is possible. Also, I am taking freebies if you feel like doing any, but that is up to you.

Currently, I have 63 tokens and 82k to spend.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear you are leaving Mene.
Good luck with your art search though!

xuvrette 10-27-2013 04:20 AM

Aww... I would miss you a lot.

mewmew07 10-27-2013 04:46 AM

Xurvette: If you are on Facebook or Gaia, we can keep in contact there.

Thanks Chexala.

xuvrette 10-27-2013 04:50 AM

I am on Gaia. Same username.
Though... also not all that active. x.x
I just have a tab on for it to drool at the items.

mewmew07 10-27-2013 05:03 AM

I am on Gaia to buy art and make gold! lol.

xuvrette 10-27-2013 05:09 AM

I see.
Gaia is a sinkhole of items. x.x
TOo many for me to catch up.

mewmew07 10-27-2013 05:15 AM

There are so many, and the ones I like, have to be so expensive that no matter if I save up forever, I will never be able to afford them.

xuvrette 10-27-2013 05:20 AM

That is the greedy part of Gaia's economy.
It is so... commercialized.

mewmew07 10-27-2013 06:10 AM

Because they only now focus on making money, they don't care if any of their users aren't able to buy anything from them with real money.

xuvrette 10-27-2013 06:12 AM

Of course they don't care about users.

I read that they are selling 03 items? I can't believe it.
I was thinking is it some knockoff items or recoloured items.

mewmew07 10-27-2013 06:48 AM

They now call themselves a business. I don't like to call avatar sites a business.

Gaia's a right mess right now, and I'll just be leaving it at that.

Well, I can probably draw a thing or two, if you like. :3
It'll have to be digital art, though, since I don't like using materials for my traditional art if I'm not getting paid real life monies. ^^

Here's an example of one of my digital pieces (ignore the price tag on it and that it's a bust, I don't have many colored digital pieces up): Digital Bust Commissions by Exaggerated-Rebel on deviantART
And something that's not bust to prove that I can do it: Elza Toviel by Exaggerated-Rebel on deviantART
And chibis: Witchy's House by Exaggerated-Rebel on deviantART
And just because I want to spam one of my favorite pieces I've ever done: Butterfly by Exaggerated-Rebel on deviantART
Once, I'm just posting some of my traditional arts because I don't have many examples of my digital art posted around the net. [sweat]

That said, I don't even know where to begin discussing price point. :U

xuvrette 10-27-2013 06:57 AM

Yay! Someone's arts~

Haha, you are excited for me, how cute!

Exaggerated Rebellion: I'd love art from you, you are a fantastic artist.

What about 5k? 7k? Unless there is an item or two you really want badly from the event shop.

xuvrette 10-27-2013 07:30 AM

Does Mewmew have Gaia items to to commission people?

Exaggerated Rebellion 10-27-2013 07:37 AM

That reminds me, I should actually be looking at what the event items are, huerpah derp. >.>

Well, since I adore underselling myself, how about 3k per piece?

xuvrette 10-27-2013 07:41 AM

... Why UNDERsell?
I always OVERsell~ *greedy monster*

Exaggerated Rebellion 10-27-2013 07:47 AM

[lol] I'll over sell when I'm more confident in my abilities.

I made the mistake of overpricing my prints at the last art show I went to. I only sold one picture. ):

xuvrette 10-27-2013 07:51 AM

Pricing for art is pretty subjective.
Maybe you are in the wrong art show?

If you are sure you want to charge me 3k, then that's fine.

Check the event shop, if you do like anything, let me know and I can offer that and the rest in gold.

Exaggerated Rebellion 10-27-2013 08:18 AM

@xuvrette: Yeah, probably. But I live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, so it's not like I have much of a choice in the matter when it comes to shows. Though I did get a lot of people interested in commissioning me later, sooo it wasn't that bad of a trade-off. :3

@mewmew07: 3k it is, then. I'll get started on something right away. >:3

xuvrette 10-27-2013 08:22 AM

Popular art over here are still the old art. Rennaisance... the proper art.

maidenroseheart 10-27-2013 03:23 PM

I will try to get you at least one drawing done before the event ends. My art can take some time despite not having a graphics tablet.

xuvrette 10-27-2013 03:26 PM

Maimai! Hi!
Not planning to buy tablet?
