Ooo, this thread has some nice work in it! :D

Do you take any avatar, also from other avatar sites for your avatar art? Just curious!

Oh, ok. I also have commons that I want too. Not sure if that list is still up in my quest thread or not >_>

Hey! Those are for paying customers only. Unless you use your IOU that I owe you, then you can eat a cupcake ^_^

I do. It might take some conversing between us though so I can figure out what items are what on the avi.

It sucks because I'm trying to find a balance between what my items are worth, and how much time I spend on each order. So I don't mind the idea of giving out some sort of discounts.

Hehe, it does make sense. Your seem fairly prices and very well done - do they only have the size you have put up in examples, or you do them bigger at first?

Well, there are lots of bases I could use, but the base for my avatar portrait is the biggest I'm willing to do for shop items. I've never made anything bigger than that, and I wouldn't trust myself to finish that size of a piece in a reasonable amount of time. I actually have a Chi doll I've been working on off and on for months now (probably almost all year), and its a little bit bigger than the Portrait base example.

I probably should sketch out on paper what I'm going to put on the order, but I usually don't think to do it. That's probably why it takes me so much longer to complete these orders, since I don't have an idea of how I want it to look until I have some lines made and can officially say "Nope, not what I'm going for." Or "Wow, that turned out perfect on the first try!" (that last one never happens though).

I just realized, after I asked, that I went and looked at it, that it's on pixel base/it's pixeled. It looks SO GOOD. So smooth and well done. Wow. Amazing. +10 awesome cookie points.

Thanks! I haven't had much inspiration recently. (Apart from the cupcake I made days ago) I'm trying to get back into the swing of pixel art and dolls, but not much is really tweaking my interest. I'm trying to get one of my friends to join the site so she can be my partner in art (she makes digital art) but I don't think she is interested.

I'm not all that great at coming up with outfit designs on my own, I need inspiration

Or at least I need to get on board of an art project maybe O_O

Well, first off, I do all of my pixel art in Corel Paintshop Pro X4 (14th version, lolz)

So I took this picture and resized it to about the size I wanted for the item, then I outlined it. The wrapper I only outlined the top, and then did the rest myself, and the same with the candle flame. After that, I just shaded everything.

Random Fact: Sometimes when pixel artists say a piece is "inspired" by a picture, it's either outlined, or just used as a reference for the design/shape/shading.

The frosting was the biggest pain to shade, I changed the style to a more soft-round look instead of a realistic look xD

Thanks Sadrain. It's the thought that counts. I see you spent all that gold in one place!

I LOVE Jasmine! I always wanted to dress like her. I didn't (and still don't) have to body for it though xD
