Updates

December 15, 2006 - Ash will do art for Dec. 2006 letters!
November 18, 2006 - Ash is now locked. If you order, you go on blacklist. NO BRIBES, PLEASE!!
November 8, 2006 - We got some new price estimates, so we've raised our prices.... drastically. It may just be inflation, or we may have gotten really good. Anyway... just be prepared. XD
September 2, 2006 - redid offers section. Check it out!
August thru September - School has begun for us, so now art will take longer, and our slots have lessened even more! Saphiremomo is now offering Dancing Chibis!
August 1, 2006 - Ashtaye is not accepting any more couple pictures for the time being, unless you are willing to majorly bribe her.
July 28, 2006 - Raised Prices and added second style to saphiremomo in preparation for the school year.
July 22, 2006 - Announcement: The first to page 100 will get... something... If it's Ashtaye or Saphire, well, I don't know what we'll do. Also, our 50th customer will get something special from both of us. So get bumping and buying!
July 16, 2006 - We both are back! Yay!
July 8, 2006 - Major Announcement: Ashtaye is leaving for vacation tomorrow (7/8/06) and saphiremomo will leave on 7/9/06. Saphiremomo will return on the 17th. During this time, PM us all orders, or even better, subscribe to the thread and wait to order until we return. The thread will be open to bumping and such, but we will not be participating. During this time, do not post orders in the thread, for we (or at least saphiremomo) will ignore them.

The Rules

~ Follow Gaia ToS.
~ Please no flaming
~ No trolling
~ No Cybering
~ Don't steal our work. If we see our work somewhere else, we will report you.
~ Keep this thread PG-13.
~ Don't have more than one order with us at a time. Unless we give exception to you.
~ We don't prioritize our art. For example, if I get a couple request and later a single fullbody, I'll do the single first because it's easier and quicker. PM us to negotiate if you want art by a certain date.

If you break any of these rules whatsoever, then you get added to the greylist or blacklist (according to offense) and reported.

Grey List

White List Club
Now, what does it mean to be a white list club member? Being on the white list allows you to order when we're full, but small(ish) orders, you're more likely to get freebies, and we'll test new, experimental styles on you! It's good to be a member...

Sakuri - for bumping an awful lot, and supporting the shop
Thax - For a bunch of bumps and lots of support
Rei - for a lot of bumps, understanding, and support
AbdallaDiyer - bumps and for the intersting facts.
Yuri Jinnai - for ordering 3x
Silver Kiss~121 - ordering 3x
Gemini ~The Twins~ - chatter, bumper
Pastel Dreams - bumper, chatter, supporter

Offers

New freebie policy from Saphiremomo! Most of the time, only White listers gain freebies. But I'll now reopen my bumping shop thing. To gain freebies from me, you must bump. But, to open up the bump shop, you must bump 25 times to open it up. Once you get to 25 (which you must number up to), this mini-shop opens for you. The bumps are an alternative form of currency, where you spend them instead of gold.

Example: You have 49 bumps that you've done. You wish to get a sketch, which costs 10 bumps. You fill out the order form and the amount will get subtracted from your order.

Sketch - 10 bumps

Penning :: Headshot - 15 bumps
--------------Chibi - 20 bumps
--------------Bust up - 25 bumps
--------------Waist up - 30 bumps
--------------Full body - 40 bumps

CG (only soft-shading) add 100 bumps to a penning total.

Now you may not say "I want this, and while you're doing it, I'll bump." You bump first, then place an order. Oh, and did I mention that there's a whole separate list for this?

1 - [none]
2 - [none]

Those who have bumps, and their totals.
Pastel -- 93
DarkDreams -- 58

Art Trades

Yes, we do art trades, in case you would rather pay with art instead with gold. Mostly because both Ashtaye and I are art whores collectors, and will spend the gold on art anyway. So if you want to do an art trade, please post this small order form for you to be considered.

Name:
Samples:
Link to shop:

We each will be accepting 1 art trade at a time right now.

Ashtaye: SlaynetheAssassin
Saphiremomo: SlaynedtheAssassin

So after you post a request for a art trade, we will either reject or accept your offer. If we accept, we will either fill out your form at your shop, or follow your directions for ordering that we would like to to specify. If none are specified, we will use our own order form and PM it to you. We would like you to fill out our order form, and we will add you to the appropriate slot.

Saphiremomo is wanting pictures of: Her OCs, Lomadia and Aras, and her avatar
Ashtaye is wanting pictures of: [unknown]

Later on, when I talk to Ashtaye a bit about this, we will decide if we want to post our OCs profiles here or not, or even to include them at all.

Draw our OCs

Name: Her full, technical name is Astarathe Calypso Silverhawk...but everyone knows her as Calypso.
Age: She may look 15-16, but she's really about 45. 0-o
Race: Elf
Powers: Mainly Ice magic. And telepathy and weapon skills.

Appearance: Tall, slender, with a lanky posture. Everything about her just kind of screams pale. She can intimidate people when she glares at them, and hapless mortal males fall passionately in love with her at first sight.
Hair: Sandy blonde
Eyes: Sky blue
Skin: Peach, a little paler than most people, but not too pale.
Height: 5'7
Build: Slender, not too skinny. Built for speed and agility.
Clothes: Wears layers often, unless it's really hot out. ^^

Personality
Positives: She rarely loses her cool, and can be a sensible, firm leader. Calypso's also very blunt and likes to get straight to the point, wasting no time and effort on chitchat (and false hope). She may not be a very friendly person, but she has a high sense of honor, and if/once you get to know her, she'll be eternally loyal.
All else: Her bluntness can offend some people, and she doesn't believe in sugar-coating issues if they're important. She can be somewhat apathetic or cold-hearted at times when she refuses to have pity for someone, especially if she believes they should just move on with their lives.
Blood type: I dunno...A...?
Zodiac Sign: She'd probably be...I dunno, I'll get back to you on that one. ^^

User Image

Name: Arasil
Age: 15/16ish
Race: Human
Powers: Control over lightning, basic healing spells. She's basically a Red Mage who's given up her powers over the other elements to gain control over all three levels of the thunder spell.

Appearance: About 5'5 with a slender build.
Hair: A light brunette or a dark blonde.
Eyes: Deep Purple
Skin: Her skin's really pale, could almost be called grey (see picture)
Height: 5'5
Build: Slender, build for speed (kinda like Calypso)
Clothes: She wears darker colors and colder colors, such as blue and purple. Almost is always wearing pants, except on formal occasions

Personality
Positives: She's fairly tough, and won't let people hurt other people or things (unless the other are enemies). She loves animals and will do almost anything to protect them.
All else: She has a short temper, and has a habit of getting into fights she cannot win. Most of the time she wears a sad expression, and isn't a good leader. Aras likes to keep on the side she thinks will win, so she will sometimes change sides.
Blood type: Let's just go with... AB
Zodiac Sign: something...
