2. The condition or fact of being dissimilar or distinct; difference: “the crucial distinction between education and indoctrination” (A. Bartlett Giamatti). See synonyms at difference.
3. A distinguishing factor, attribute, or characteristic.
4. a. Excellence or eminence, as of performance, character, or reputation: a diplomat of distinction.
b. A special feature or quality conferring superiority.
5. Recognition of achievement or superiority; honor: graduated with distinction.

[07/02/07]:
Making progress. I inked several things and sketched several others. Its the colouring I'm not looking forward to...eck. But still, progress is good.
Changed the poll. Deal with it. I ask for advice and people go 'duhurr duhurr' and dont post anything. Why do I bother? I'm an optimistic person.
SO. After I clear out the commissions to be done, I will NOT be accepting any new ones. I will finish contest gift art and that will be IT. I srsly have to get to work on my portfolio. Its a pile of crap right now and dammit it needs to be a shiny pile of crap.

[20/01/07]:
Great Grandfather has pneumonia, hes in the hospital. I just got a job. Havent found a new pen yet. Burning Crusade just came out. Dixon lent me Children of Mana. I have to read 2 books over the weekend. I also have to write a draft for a short story for monday. Need to go shopping for clothes for Grad and for work. SO MANY THINGS TO DO. I'm really sorry your art is taking so friggin long to do, but DAMMIT it'll get done. That I promise you. I cant guarantee when, though ><
Questing for an Angelbow. Donatez 2 me? :gonk ::gonk

[11/01/07]:
I know no one cares or even notices, but I'm changing the way I do commissions.
Inking digitally is nice but it takes waaaay too long. And since I have my own personal scanner now, if I draw and ink everything by hand in traditional media, things will go a lot faster. Drawings will still be cleaned up and coloured digitally, just not inked digitally. Yup.
Just need to find/buy some new pens :3

[01/01/07]:
If people dont start following the rules the shoosting will have to begin. All the stuff isnt in the rules post because I like typing, dammit!
First newspost of the new year!

NOTE: Please for the love of all that is good and wholesome- read all of these and follow them, okay?

- Read everything in all the posts and make sure you understand it. There are consequences for ordering without reading the rules and ordering guidelines.

- POST YOUR ORDER ON THE THREAD. NO PMING.

- I really dont care about your order until I see a trade in my event bar. Until the trade is complete, your name wont even get on the list unless I really want to draw you, which I probably wont.

- I will remove items from your avi such as pets if I dont think they have a place in the picture.

- If I dont like your avi I wont draw it. Simple as that.

- Tips are not expected, but they are nice.

- Feel free to bump and chat in the thread as you wait for your avi art biggrin

- YOU MUST NOT say you drew it.

- If you change your username after you order, post on the thread to let me know. Otherwise you may never get your art.

- YOU MUST leave my signature on it! Art theft is punishable by...bad things. You actually could get banned from Gaia.

- Be nice!

- Be patient.

- If the ORDER list is full, post it on the thread. My inbox gets crazy full in a very short period of time and I dont want to lose your order.

- If the WAITING list is full, please wait until a spot opens up! Or, check the affiliates to get your art done somewhere else!

- If you've read all the rules, put the word 'banana' into your order near the bottom.

- If you order or if you like my art, please post a bump or a comment!

- I'll host the art for three days, then remove it (or change the url.) Please DONT use my bandwidth.

- Dont waste my time, please.

- I've changed my mind. Put the word 'strawberry' in instead.

- Follow the damned rules!

WHAT I WILL/WONT DO

Will:
-Headshots
-Busts
-1/2 Body
-Chibis
-Couples
-Softcore Yuri
-Softcore Yaoi
-OCs (This includes DnD/Shadowrun/BESM characters)
-Artistic nudity (Within reason)
-Sketches
-Lineart of various colours
-Flat colours
-Cel shading
-Giant mecha
-Battlesuits
-Animals
-Fantasy creatures
-WoW/RO toons
-Real life people (Headshots only, and only if you provide GOOD photo references)

Wont:
-Porn/hentai
-Furries (Ears, wings and tails are okay)
-Cluttered Avis (entirely my discretion, dont argue)
-CGs
-Fanart of any kind (No Naruto/Sailor Moon/Inuyasha fan characters)
-Complex backgrounds
-More than 3 (three) characters
-Text-heavy pictures
-Certain masks (Ask if its okay first)
-Alien skins
-UFO equips (headphones are okay)
-Cocos/Kikis (this is depending on my mood...dont expect them.)
-Mochi Puppies
-Bird's Nest Hair
-Water Hair
-G Bots
-Shadow Spirits (The ring of purple flames and the basic shadow spirit are acceptable)
-Avatars with more than 2 pixies equipped
-Game characters that arent from WoW or RO
-Any kind of weapon held in the hand (WoW/RO/DnD toons are exempt from this rule)
-Flame swords of any kind
(I'll add more as I think of it)

Note:
I've tried to be nice and cheerful about this whole thing. I used to be very flexible on how people ordered. But most of what that did was made my life more difficult as I had to work to keep track of who had paid, who gave me what reference picture, who ordered what. Thats why the rules are the way they are. To keep things simple and easy.
This shop has been around for awhile, and you wouldnt believe the kinds of things that happen. No one follows the rules. No one cares. So I stopped caring. If you dont do things my way in this thread, you dont get art. Its very simple. Follow the rules. If you dont have enough money to send a trade right away after you order, wait until you do. Dont stress me out. I'm not going to PM you, so dont PM me. Use the form. Give me a reference picture. Pay immediately and EVERYTHING will go well.

What you can Order:
Body Types
-Chibi
-Headshots
-Bust
-1/2Body
-Avi Edits! (NEW! I'm still learning these, so nothing too complex please.)

Colour Styles:
-Sketch (A scanned b/w lineart pencil sketch. Nothing will be done to it at all.

Shaded Sketch Just how it sounds. No dramatic shading, just straight up shadows. I'll also shade in lighter coloured stuff, just not as much.

-Lineart (Cleaned up sketches. Neat and tidy, sharp lines. I can do other colours besides black and white.)

-Monochrome (The picture is a maximum of three colours. Lineart colour, bakcground colour, and shadow colour.)

-Flat colours (Everything is coloured, but has no shading or highlights.)

-Cel shaded (Coloured with harsh shadows & highlights, little to no blending...this is how most animes are coloured, only I usually do a bit more blending and colour combination in my cels.)

See examples

Note: If you want a CG from me, post on the thread and we'll talk. I do NOT take Gaia gold for CGs. Real currency (US, Canadian, English pounds) ONLY. I'll do you anything from original characters to maps.

Please follow this form!

Rules:
Post a picture of the avatar.
You MUST do this. Tektek it, or take a screenshot of the one you currently have, crop it and send it to me. I do NOT want to have to pm you later asking for one.

Frame:
-Chibi
-Headshot
-Bust
-1/2 Body

Colour Style:
-Sketch
-Lineart
-Monochrome
-Flat Colours
-Cel Shaded

What Happens After You Order:

1) You send a trade with how much your order will come to (If you feel like it, tip. No worries, though ^^ You'll still get the best art I can give you, tip or not)

2) I accept the trade. I recieve money. (If you dont send and complete a trade immediately after you post, be warned that if someone else posts an order and sends a trade before you, your order WILL be ignored.)

3) I add your order to the waiting list/order list and put a ( arrow ) legend next to it. The arrow means you've paid. Duhurr. xD

4) I begin work on the drawing. Your drawing doesnt get coloured until its your turn. You wait from 1 day - 4 years (Lol dont worry, they never take that long)

5) I PM you the art when I'm done, and its a done deal!

[b]Avatar I will be drawing:[/b]

[b]Frame:[/b]

[b]Colour Style:[/b]

[b]Pose or expression:[/b]

[b]Props:[/b]

[b]Extra people:[/b]

Copy and past that into your post. Along with it, include any details or reference pictures you want. BE SPECIFIC! Dont expect me to know what you want, because, regrettably, I am not psychic. Be as detailed as you can.

POST the form when you're done!

These are final prices. I am fairly flexible, but I wont tolerate begging or stupidity.
If it becomes increasingly evident you havent read the rules or all of the order information, then I either wont do your avi or I will drastically raise the price. You've been warned.

You may NOT pay me with wishlist items. I do, however, take letters, sealed or otherwise.

Sketch
-Headshot: 350g
-Bust: 400g
-1/2 Body: 650g

Shaded Sketch
-Headshot: 2300g
-Bust: 2700g
-1/2 Body: 3000g

Lineart:
(If you want the sketches in a colour other than black, please say so!)
-CHIBIS (new!): 700g
-Headshot: 950g
-Bust: 1300g
-1/2 Body (to waist): 1600g

Monochrome:
Chibi: 1000g

Avi Edits (New!):
50g - 1000g, depending on the complexity.

More than 1 Person: Final price x2 or x3, depending. I'm essentially drawing two/three characters, after all.

Backgrounds/Font: Free 3nodding

Note: If you dont like the prices I'm willing to talk but please dont waste my time or ask for freebies. I will shoot you in the nose.

I DO frequent the 'Draw the Avatar Above You' thread in the Word Games forum, but you'll have to be incredibly lucky to get a sketch from me.
Also, my freebies tend to be a lot messier than my commissions.

Feel free to post an order, but be aware that if someone posts before you and there are no more open spots, your order will be ignored completely.

You may NOT post your order until there is a spot open.
To those who are on the list, please be patient!

Dont be frustrated or think I've forgotten about you. My art takes anywhere from a few hours to months to complete. I have a life (college applications, homework, boyfriend, family, books, games) and drawing a complete stranger's avatar isnt, to be honest, very high on my list of things to do. So please, for my sanity and yours, be patient. You'll get your art when you get it, okay?

To Do List:
- New shop banners
- New avi art
- Chibi art for friends
- Edit profile wallpaper
- Finish CGing Kereon (tauren dr00d)
