It seems that you’ve been wandering for days now. Barely any food and water left, you’re feeling tired and about to collapse. You look up at the sky and see as the colors change to dusk, and soon night.

You must find shelter soon, but you haven’t seen anything for miles…

And finally you see something in the distance…is that…yes! It’s a tent! As you get closer, you notice that it isn’t just a single tent but a horde of them. People are buzzing and shouting as you draw nearer. There’s a sense of determination in people’s movement and the crisp night air is filled with excitement.

Not taking much thought about the strangeness of a bazaar that seemed to appear here in the middle of nowhere, you walk inside, eager to see what each seller and tent has for you to buy.

The only question left, is where do you start first?

Welcome to the Celestial Bazaar!
For those of you who are new here, here are some of the rules that the Bazaar has...

1. Please don't STEAL my artwork. I don't mind if you use them in signatures, etc. however do not alter it (crop, etc.), or erase my signature. If you'd like a more signature friendly size, just ask and I can make you one. =)
2. Please follow all of the ToS and Menewsha Art Shop and Forum rules. And please be nice! =)
3. I have the right to refuse anyone. However the likelihood of that happening is slim.
4. I have the right to change the prices and rules as I see fit. However, if you submit a request and it was before I changed to the new price, than the old price applies. I'm still new to this pricing thing, so bear with me.
5. I don't send sketches or preliminary images. I'm sorry, but going back and forth to wee what works and doesn't is time I don't have. However, if you pay for a sketch and decide you'd like it colored later, that's cool and the price would be as if you paid for that piece to be in color (i.e the payment would be the difference between sketch cost and color cost).
6. I will try and keep up links as long as I can in the gallery, but if you see your piece is no longer there, don't worry. I have them on my computer. Just mail me.

Intro
The Celestial Bazaar is my combination of mini art shops on Menewsha. I enjoy creating a lot of different types of art and I love to micro organize everything. That's why I have mini-shops. I also enjoy writing so every shop has a small RP/intro text so you can get the vision of the Bazaar. Each store has their own color for RP so you can differentiate the RP text from my own, which is in Sienna.

The Stores
Currently the Bazaar has a total of six different tents you can visit (where one is my breedables shop and the other is my IRL commission page). The rest of the stores are avatar shops and tents that use your current avatar as a reference for the art (when I see your post). So keep that in mind when changing the image of your avatar. If you'd like an original character or fan art, please visit my IRL commission page. Below are descriptions for each store.

Salai's Studio
This is the traditional art section of the Celestial Bazaar. Traditional basically means that it's just non-chibi in my art style, which ranges from anime to new comic style. Most, if not all of this art, will be done digitally.

Moon's Imports
Love your avatar but want a unique outfit that you can't get here on Menewsha? This is what this tent in the Celestial Bazaar gives you! I take your avatar and add any outfit that you'd like to go with it!

Sura+Sonii's
If your avatar was an animal, what would it look like? This shop creates pieces of your avatar if it was anthropormorphized, or basically if it was a furry humanoid.

Saci's Food Stall
This is where you can chibify your avatar! This is basically the chibi shop where the art is in chibi form.

Menshuu Grove
This is the breedables store! Collect and breed your very own Menshuu, here! Be on the look out for special sales, items and limited edition Menshuus.

Shop of Aquarius
This is my real life commission page. If you'd like a real life piece that is either mailed to you or sent digitally at 300dpi (print quality) then this is where you'd go. Payment is done through Paypal and through Credit Card via Paypal. It also has links to other stores such as my Etsy store or my Cafe Press store.

Updates~
12.1 ::: Changed the price for Moon's Imports and changed the size to Waist Up rather than Shoulder Up (since you can't see much of the outfit if it's only Shoulder Up). However everyone who has posted a request from Moon gets the old price of 300G.

I was going to put all of the pricing in each store, but this might be easier to follow and make it less long.

Base Prices*

1. Shoulder and Up (300x300px) = 250G
2. Waist and Up (500x500px) = 350G

*Actual Size may vary slightly.

Add-On Prices

Color

1. Sketch = +0G
2. B&W = +50G
3. Color = +100G

Borders/Backgrounds

1. No Background = +0G
2. No Border = +0G
3. Simple Border = +10G
4. Elaborate Border =+15G
5. Minimal Background (like a color or texture) = +20G

Menshuus
Adding your Menshuu = +75G
Additional Menshuus = +25G each

How it works
You take the base price then add on the additional prices.
For example, if you'd like a Full body, colored with an elaborate border and adding one of your menshuus, the pricing will look like this:
350G (full body base price) + 100G (colored) + 15G (elaborate border) + 75G (for menshuu) = 540G (total)

These prices apply to all stores except Menshuu Grove, Tent of Aquarius, and otherwise stated in the store's post.[/CENTER]

Ordering Forms
In order to make typing a bit easier for people, if the price option is numbered (like Colored is #3) then just use that instead of writing out full body.

You head to the older looking tent. It has a soft, yellow light coming from inside. You're about to move the door-flap when a strapping young man appears in the way. His hair in straight and gold and he has a friendly demeanor about him.
"My name is Salai and this is my studio. I'm an artist, you see." The young man looks you up and down and his eyes brighten. "You...I love your look! Ah! If the Master was here to see you! He would've loved that mysterious smile you have!" "Please," he grabs your hand in a firm shake and motions inside, "I must draw you. You're perfect!"


This store follows the basic pricing guides. See below for more information.

You find yourself wandering about a bit and see a small shop in the distance. As you draw closer, you notice that the tent is made of heavy, imported red velvet and dark brown leather. As you enter the tent, the floors are covered with expensive Persian rugs and the walls of the tent are lined with large ornate trunks. A small, but young woman sits at a counter made of cherry wood.
"Welcome to my shop," she says as she looks at you with a sharp eye. She steps away from the counter and the clothing she wears are made from a rich fabric with bold colors. You think they might be traditional clothing from....Korea maybe?
She walks to one of the nearest trunks urges you to come closer.
"My family, the Moon family, have been in imports for a very long time. We collect a lot of odds and ends...but we mostly collect clothes." She opens the trunk and you see multiple designs and fabrics from anywhere and everywhere.
"Care to take a look?"

You come to a dark tent with what appears to have small silver statues all around it. Curious, you step in and find your self it what looks like an alchemist's lab. Paper scatters the floor and everything looks rather messy. As you scan the tent, you find one area that is completely cleared. It has two comfortable arm chairs and a small shelf in between them, housing several vials. You walk over and grab the first vial that interests you and take a seat.

"Ahh...interesting choice, human." You hear coyly from behind you as two cat-like humanoids step from the shadows.
"I see that you picked that particular one....would you like to give it a go?" The cat boy smiled as he sits down in the opposite chair. You look at the cat quizzically placing down the vial.
"Ah...forgive me! I'm Sura and this is my sister Sonii," he says nodding to the other cat-person, "and these vials contain powers of gods."
"You see, it was tradition for gods to attack not through force, but through wits. So in one-to-one combat, they would change into animals to outwit their opponents."
You nod and glace over the vial that you picked up.
"So this vial," Sura says with a fanged smile as he picks up the vial you put down, "will give you the power to turn into an animal...well...more like us really."
Sonii, being quiet this entire time finally looks at you in the eyes with her wild cat eyes, "So, human...do you wish to be like us?"
Sura chimes in," Yes, human...choose a vial...any vial..."

What vial do you choose?

Pricing and options are listed below. If you'd like art from this section of the Bazaar please fill out the form below!

Pricing
The pricing for Sura+Sonii's is the base price (as listed above)+ the price of a vial (listed below). Thus, if you get a Waist Up, Colored, with minimal background which equals 470G. That is your base price. Say you pick a green vial which is an additional 200G. Your total then is 670G.

Vials
An oddly shaped vial with pink liquid that smells like candy.


A plain vial-shaped vial with odorless, gold-flecked liquid.

A plain vial-shaped vial with green liquid that smells of fresh-cut grass.

A small flask with dark red liquid that smells strongly of brimstone and ash.

A blackened vial with silver liquid that smells of roses.

A mysterious vial that reminds you much of this Bazaar, but you can't put your finger on why.
