Hello, Menewsha. >> [here's a little intro]
Finally, I have gotten around to creating a legitimate art shop.
I created one a while back (a long while back) that I'd prefer
not to even talk about! So let's not. I guess I'm the one that
brought it up. Sorry. Now, onto the art.

I'm bad at pricing, but I'm pretty good about bartering. If you don't
have the gold, just send me a little PM, and maybe we can come to
an agreement. I'm also pretty okay with art trades, but I have to
really, really like the art. I'm kind of picky. >_>~~

I am much more comfortable drawing women than men, but I can do
both. I don't draw furries / anthros very often, but I'd really love to
get better. Practice is good! Animals in general are also things I'd like
to improve on drawing. I like drawing Pokemon and trainers. :D I'm
also a brony, so if you wants a pony, I can tries to pony.

Now, onto the important bits!

Okay, Menewshans. >> [here are some samples]
Honestly, I don't know where 50% of my art is. I had a lot of good samples,
but moving and getting a new computer and life has devoured them. Oh
well. That's why I created that freebie thread, to do some new artz, make
some new friends, and show you guys what I can do!

[digital]







[traditional]




[sketches]




________________

And this is where we begin. >> [pricing]
As I said in the intro, I don't much know how to price things. I haven't been on
Menewsha regularly in quite some time (up until I created the free art thread).
I lurked around some art threads and got some feedback, but I'm still not very
convinced on what I should charge. I'll leave it up to you guys. I'll work for bribes.
Gold, items, and items are things that I will accept here on Menewsha. Money
is good too, but we all know the rules here. If you want to use moneyz, please
make your way to my dA page: ashlemo.deviantart.com and send me a message
there. :)

And this is where you begin. >> [asking]
This is a nifty little template you can use to bribe me for my art and such. It's a
lot easier to do this, rather than bein' like, "Uh, hey, Ash, draw me stuff ok?"
Code:
Hey, ashlemo:, pay attention to me!
I'd like you to draw my: (character, avatar, etc)
(He/she) looks like this: (character description, refs, etc.)
I kind of want (him/her) posed like this: (refs, description, or leave it up to me!)
(He/she) acts like this: (brief personality description)
I'd like them to be drawn like this: (headshot, bust, fullbody, sketch, traditional, digital lineart, colored, etc)
And in this style: (anime, chibi, realistic, etc)
I'll give you some of this: (what will you bribe me with?)
________________

And this is where I begin. >>[current slots]
I'll take on five of you guys at a time. If you see that my slots are full, please
wait on making an offer. It's hard for me to keep up with everything, so five
at a time is good for me. Thanks!

Alright, guys. >> [closing bit]
Thanks a lot for reading all (or some) of this stuff, and thanks for lurking around
my art shop. I really love drawing for people, and I like it when people LIKE WHEN
I DRAW FOR THEM. You guys can chat a little here, but I'd like to keep that to a
minimum to leave space for the people that want to ask me for stuff.

Also, please don't take it personally if I decline your offer.
Please don't expect the art really quickly, even though I'm pretty fast. I do have
a full-time job and other responsibilities that come first.
Thanks again for reading all of my silly dribble and I hope you stay to chat and
give me stuff! :D

That's just fine Ash. I like to see them as little windows into what you can do!

Oh, and a bit of an offer---maybe your template should include what style the person wants the drawing to be in?

Yeah? Well thank you for that! And by the way, I'm definitely filling it out, I'm just making a nice and detailed template since I don't have a picture for this character. Which I know you don't mind, but I do feel a bit bad about all that.


Okay, got the template all filled out!

Hey, ashlemo:, pay attention to me!
I'd like you to draw my: Character
(He) looks like this: This link will tell you everything!
I kind of want (him) posed like this: I’ll leave it up to you if I may
(He/she) acts like this: You’ll see this in the Personality sections!
And in this style: Digital Anime
I'll give you some of this: 1000 gold

Hey, ashlemo::, pay attention to me!
I'd like you to draw my: (character, avatar, etc) OC
(He/she) looks like this: (character description, refs, etc.) She looks like this:
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Silver
Wings: Black
Number of Wings: She has FOUR PAIRS of WINGS! BUT you don't have to draw them all. You can draw all of them. None of them. One pair, two pair. Take your pic.
Maigo Outfit Number 1:


Maigo Outfit Number 2:


Maigo Wing Reference:

I kind of want (him/her) posed like this: (refs, description, or leave it up to me!) It's up to you.
(He/she) acts like this: (brief personality description) She is extremely feisty. She is a former angel and now works for Lucifer. She is very sarcastic and when she fights, she gets lost in her blood lust. But she yearns for something more and wants to be a human and then eventually go back to Heaven. She knows that will never happen, but that defines her every move.
I'd like them to be drawn like this: (headshot, bust, fullbody, sketch, traditional, digital lineart, colored, etc) Fullbody CG
And in this style: (anime, chibi, realistic, etc) anime?
I'll give you some of this: (what will you bribe me with?) 4000g?

Love ponies... I'll have to do a description of him. Hm... *thinks* Or I could use that pony-maker for a basic outline, anyway.

Thank you much, Ash! And I hope as an artist you like the character. He's quite different from me...
Hehehehe.... You do? Well, little need to say that I've kind of got a thing for collars. Glad it inspired a second banner!

I'll give you some of this: would you be willing to do an art trade with me? (my deviant art) If not, how about 2k gold? I'm not good at pricing either.

Uhh, I'm not really good at coming up with stuff for people unless I know them well. I can try to pull something out of my butt, but it won't be pretty. xD Just let me know when you figure out what you want!

The gold is fine with me, Kat. :) I'm not really looking to have anything drawn. I usually will do art trades if I've recently come up with a new character... but I haven't.
Too busy workin'.
Thanks, though! And I'll add you to the list. :3

*flops into thread*

Ash has a real art shop * u *

Must make order now. *drool*

---------- Post added 05-29-2013 at 10:29 PM ----------

So... I ran into a problem. I guess how do you feel about designing my character's clothes? Haha. I have a basic idea of it, but given her status in the story it's always felt too plain? Like it needs more details, a pretty fabric pattern, more accessories, etc kinda thing. The colors aren't set in stone. I have a bunch of suggestions/ideas but no way to see it come together... OTL curse my lack of art skills.

This is the character who's outfit needs tweaking.
Hey, ashlemo:, pay attention to me!
I\'d like you to draw my: OC, Hotaru
(He/she) looks like this:
Hair: Golden Brown/Sun-kissed Brown Hair Reference (2nd one)
Eyes Color: Amethyst
Outfit: is this HotaruRefbyWheredIGo.png Photo by Gaiaon-line | Photobucket

So Hotaru is the one where this is her basic outfit, but it's too plain in the long run. See Hotaru is a Queen in her story, and this is suppose to be a causal outfit she wears when she's not sitting on her throne. In comparison this is what her knight wears. So yeah, Hotaru's outfit is rather plain in comparison. xD

The country she rules is very Japanese influenced with dashes of western influences. So like for her top I pictured it having one of those kimono designs like this or this or this. But the actual patterns are up to you. :3

As for additional accessories and things, that's where I'm a slump. I thought about like the threaded strings with bells (or some sort of ornaments) like this. On the edges of her sleeves for example. Or maybe like lace (or just a visible under layer like most kimonos) like this. You're also welcome to add a hairpin to her hair or make the obi more detailed as well.

These were a bunch of other references I was looking at for inspiration. This one or this one or this one or this or this or this.

Colors and symbols. I'll leave the colors up to you. :3 But Hotaru's favorite color is purple if that helps. Bells and phoenix/bird are the country's symbols but you don't have to use them. :3

So I hope this isn't too overwhelming. >> << >>

I kind of want (him/her) posed like this: I'll leave it up to you.
(He/she) acts like this: As I mentioned, Hotaru is Queen. So she comes across regal and calm. While she's bound to many rules, ethics and social views, she loves finding loopholes in things. Have you ever read those shoujo mangas where the prince(ss) is always the one sneaking out but still manages to get stuff done. She's a bit like that.

Hotaru has mischief side. Teasing her best friend is something she loves doing. (It's just Seika's reactions are so amusing, she can't help it!)

She does possess the ability to see the future, so manipulating people is an side effect, a trait she isn't too happy to have. Hotaru is known for carrying to large of a burden of responsibility, trying to make the world a better place while still giving people the freedom to make their own mistakes.

You can read more about her here.

I\'d like them to be drawn like this: Fullbody
And in this style: *scratches head* I guess anime-ish? xD whatever you have been doing lately.
I\'ll give you some of this: 4k

I hope this isn't too much. :O
