No, actually, that's cool. XD

Most people usually assume that I'm older than I am, which leaves me confused. >_>;

I do have a lot left. :rofl: Most of the stuff I do have was donated. O_O

Good Morning everyone!!
*sigh no new offers?*


WOW that is quite the quest list >.< My list of commons looks like that but I'm not even going to start w/ those until The CI's and EI's are out of the way. That way I won't come back to a chilled beauty at 1k :o lol

AWWW *tear* a Subscriber! That's so sweet! I've never had a subscriber before *warm lovey glow* Really I'm always going to be primarily buying it seems. Except for the current CI
Of which I think They way I'll do it is:
First paycheck four sets
One for me to ware
One for me to hoard for about 3 years or so
2 for me to sell
Second paycheck four sets
All for sale. Hopefully that will be enough back stock t last me a bit!

I just finished an art contest on the 3rd, but I still have at least one copy of most of my prizes, so I'm going to run another one after I've given an MIA winner time to get back to me on what she wants for her prize.

If you think THAT list is long, Birdie, you should see Kita's common quest list. >w>;

Kita's addicted to pixels. u_u;

No problem on the subscriber thing! XD
I try to give new threads that I run into a boost, especially if I think the owners are nice. :3

>.< *up-roaring laughter* Oh a contest nonono I haven't the skills for anything like that... with a shop I can get away with it because people know what there getting into. No automatic loss for me thanks >.o lol My stuff can be cute I guess but it's really more play .. and I can never seem to finish anything, so I would most likely miss the deadline! Do you do any arts yourself?
Oh and Capt. Howdy fixed the posts for me earlier :) Thank you though I will keep you in mind. The always helpful people around here. I LOVE that if you need a mod or somethings help it always it this job of trying to hunt one down and then wait forever to get a responds.. *shakes fist*

Yeah. :3 I'm an artist myself... http://www.side7.com/art/klawzie/ <-- has a lot of my artwork, but not much recent stuff. More of my recent stuff is here: http://www.shareapic.net/users/klawzie/

But I know what you mean about a shop versus a contest. XD And considering I'm sitting on several pieces of artwork I owe to staff members of Menewsha... I know about taking awhile to finish things too. >_>;;

I'm glad th' Cap'n hooked you up earlier. :) Depending on when you log in, there will either be a load of Staff online or only a few... And the 'few' that would be online are the ones who don't generally handle this sort of thing anyway. (Technically, it's not my job to do that sort of thing, but I do it anyway as it doesn't take long to do and it's easy. ;B ) But the only reason users can't do it themselves is because it makes cheating in page-contests virtually impossible. XD; But, anyway - feel free to send me a PM anytime. I may not be online at the time, but if you're willing to wait awhile, I will get to it the next time I'm online. XD

Bound Birdie, how far in advance do you take reservations on the following month's CI's? I really would like to find a supplier for each months CI's, but I can only purchase one set per month, which will be for myself. If I could find a supplier to sell them to me ahead of time, it would be so much easier.

Well I guess that there is no reason I can't reserve them as soon as soon as people request them! I can't do any more reserve any more this month (but I will be auctioning two sets of soon) Would you like to reserve A set for Nov.:)

I would love to reserve a set for Nov. I already managed to purchase this months set. If you would like a deposit towards the Nov set, let me know how much and I'll send it your way.

Wow those are pretty! your really good! I take it that you do plenty of commission work. Are you using some kind of photoshop? I'm very new to the digital art world and yeah I'm not quite confident w/ it yet, I'll hunt down my work in process maybe you will see why I don't think I could do an auction on my art.
an I will most definitely do that in fact I have to questions for you right now: One I know flobs or any kind of pictures to make your post longer but I've seen a bit of pretty pictures in the shops... and I was hoping it was one of those "in context" kinda things (like no double posting but reserving slots for shops and what not is okay) ..
because I would like to draw some cute thing for my shop if it is ever permanent.
also ... you had an item on a while back Was it Winter Birdys? or something? where did you get that? it was so cute...

Okay your on my list. No worries I will start the trade and you'll pay the full balance then ... besides I'll always wait for the market to settle to know how much to ask for. No worries though if you don't agree with price or whatever let me know and I'll just re-open the slot!

Last week was a BAD busy week though. u_u

Ok, so I just come in after the 17th and be like "Yay sets!" and you'll be like "Yay trade!" right?? xD

No worries I get confused without being tired >.<

A WEEK? a WEEK is awesome I have completed maybe about 3 projects in my whole life that weren't paid for. and they were all kinda... I'll work on it for about a month then drop it.. the one I have posted right now was REALLY old and I just now am fixing it up w/ the ole tablet.
Oh no, I don't mind if you pop in to say hello or anything but I'll send it right after I buy them... you will just have to log in and it will be like "SURPRISE! SETS FOR YOU!" :)

don't feel so bad, kita! 8D; i suck at finishing commissions that have no deadlines early XD;; i'm generally slow in drawing and lately i've been busy, too D; good luck though! you can do it! 8D

and thank you again, birdie, in advance! and out of curiosity, IF i so happen not to like next month's items or something and decide to cancel november's order or "reservation" with you, will i be able to reserve a spot for the december list? :O

EDIT:
i'm not sure if you'd allow permanent reservation for each month, ya? just curious :O

Hmmmm now that is a very interesting. On one hand I still get my economic benefit but on the other hand I would basically just be donating for two ppl .... lol that's not exactly fair distribution.... I'm not sure how to answer that yet, I will think for you.
....you wouldn't happen to know how to change a poll would you? I went to the advanced edit and I didn't see it...
Oh and no canceling a reservation will in no way effect later ones... but if you wanted DEC you'll have to wait for the auction because they have already been filled!

I actually use... OpenCanvas. XD I'm using version 3.something, but everything I do in it can be done with the freebie 1.1 version, if I recall correctly.

You've got a pretty decent start, really. All it takes is practice. :3 What I used to do was find .wpe/.oci files from other artists and watch those in OpenCanvas. That taught me a lot about how to use the program and how to color.

LOL. Honestly - don't worry about it. :hug: You don't even want to know how long I've had some people wait for their art.

The bad thing about the way this software is coded currently, for polls is that they don't work quite right. >_< I can edit the poll and change it to something else, but those people who've already voted in the poll won't be able to vote again. :B

I can see why people would pay for you art >.< it's very worthwhile. I know how you feel about being out of practice, I drew a lot for gaia's forums and then my scanner broke and then a very long time later I finally saved up enough for a tablet. But re-learning how to draw with a brand new medium is a little strange all together

REALLY! Oh it's so nice to meet another OC user... they are so few and far between, every seems to use some kind of photoshop and well .. it wouldn't install ..plus my compy is old and likes tiny programs. I do have to say I use the watercolors the most as well... but I'm starting to experiment with a very Large pencil for more controlled shading. I also tend to use the add mode for my highlights and subtract for my shadow but I'll admit the colors are a little strange to work with....also once I accidentally compressed some layers when they weren't ready T.T so now that box gets quite long

Oh is changing a poll a lot not really encouraged? in that case I will try to think of a more permanent poll, Really I just need help deciding weather or not to sell to just two people or to leave the slots first come first serve...can I put that as an off topic discussions or wait there is a market place discussion forum isn't there... I should just post it in there. :sweat:

Sorry I didn't mean to be confusing. Really it's just that if the demand is really high then i feel it's more fair to do the first come first serve for now, but if your always here first and the demand is low it will be just like having a permanent spot! If business is slow then I will reconsider it and pm you and go over it with you. How's that?
