Kashika's Art Shop!


After some careful consideration, I've decided to open up a mini-shop on gaia separate from my real life commissions, where I will accept Gaia Gold (GG) as payment. However, please note that these drawings are limited to 600x800 pixels at 300 dpi digital drawings, and I will no longer be accepting GG for my irl commissions.

Any characters welcome, as in: gaia avatars, original characters, or fanart. Yaoi, Yuri, or hetero couples are cool. Chibis welcome. Also note that by "additional character" I mean more than one character in the same drawing, not two separate drawings.

DO NOT PM ME ABOUT DOING MORE THAN WHAT I'M OFFERING HERE. Instead, click here if you're looking for bigger, traditional, and/or more mature art..

PRICES

So 600x800 pixels at 300dpi.

Just so you know, you're paying based on the size of the drawing, not how much of the character you can see. A bust of a character is going to take up the same amount of space as a knee up or a full body.

SKETCHES

Sketches can be of any color line art that you want. They will also take anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of characters and the complexity of the sketch.

First character: 6,000 GG
Each additional character: 4,800 GG

To turn your sketch into line art, it will be an additional 4,000 GG for the first character, and 2,200 GG for each additional character. (Pretty much just the difference between a sketch>lineart and a straight line art commission.)

Here's an example of a small sketch to lineart to flat colors. A drawing this small took about an hour total:

LINE DRAWING

This is for commissions that ask for straight-up line drawings - if you want me to turn a sketch I did for you into a line art, please look at the prices above, in the SKETCHES section. It can take anywhere between two to three hours to complete a line drawing, as this includes the time it takes for me to complete the sketch and draw the lines for it. It really depends on what you're having me draw and the amount of detail in the drawing.

First character: 10,000 GG
Each additional character: 7,000 GG

Example of digital lineart:
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


COLORING

You MUST have line art for me to color. I will not be coloring sketches.

Digital flat colors: it is an additional 1,600 GG. This will probably take somewhere between an hour and an hour and a half.

Here's that same drawing before with just the flats and abstract background:
User Image

B&W or monochromatic shaded drawing: it is an additional 10,000 GG. This can be either cel or digital painting. I'd wager maybe one to three hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the piece.

Cel/Soft cel shaded: it will be an additional 20,000 GG. Right now it takes me SEVERAL HOURS to just color line art at this quality, so be prepared to wait a few days for your colored commission to be completed.

Example of a recently finished cel shaded drawing:
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


Plain, gradated, or abstract/sky backgrounds only. NO borders (like the example above), traditional art, or full backgrounds. I may offer digitally painted art in the future, but that depends.

Visit my DA gallery to look at more of my art: http://upload-image-here.deviantart.com/ before you decide to commission me, and please read my next post on refunds, cancellations, my copyrights, and FAQ, and the following post for my availability, waiting list, and completed commissions.


TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT BY REPLYING IN THIS THREAD, DO NOT PM ME WITH WHAT YOU WANT. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING POSTS FOR MORE INFO.


AVATAR ART: Please, please, please, do me a HUGE favor and take a screencap of your avatar in its biggest form (inventory screen) so that I can see all the items well enough to tell what they are, and to also get swatches of the colors for color flats/shading.

EXISTING CHARACTERS: Please make the effort to find me references! I don't know every anime/manga out there and I certainly don't always know what I'm looking for in terms of references.

IF YOUR CHARACTER HASN'T BEEN DRAWN YET OR YOU DON'T HAVE MANY DRAWINGS OF SAID CHARACTER:

Name:
Age:
Height:
Weight:
Body type: (petite, large, athletic, obese, etc.)
Eye color(s):
Hair color(s):
Hair length and style:
Skin color: (Please don't say "white" or "black" if your character is caucasian or of african descent, say "peach" or "fair," or "dark brown" or "chestnut," etc.)
Distinguishing marks: (scars, tattoos, freckles, etc., if any...)
Clothes: (Describe the clothes in great detail, or with as much detail as you can. Accessories and weapons included.)
Personality: (Believe it or not, this is an important factor.)
PAYMENT

Once we've come to agreement you will offer the GG as soon as I notify you that you are next on the list, to prove that you have the amount and are able to pay me immediately.

PLEASE DO NOT START A TRADE UNTIL I PM YOU TO LET YOU KNOW THE NEXT SLOT IS AVAILABLE. ESPECIALLY DO NOT START A TRADE IF YOU ARE NOT NEXT ON THE WAITING LIST. DO NOT PM ME ABOUT YOUR OFFER UNLESS I HAVE SKIPPED YOU BY ACCIDENT.


Feel free to pm me about bribes if you have one or more of the items listed below and you want to be bumped to the top of the waiting list.

CANCELLATIONS

You may cancel at any time, for whatever reason, however you MUST give me notice before I start on or finish your commission. If I am finished when you tell me you don't want it, too bad.

REFUNDS

1. I will refund your GG if I, for whatever reason, cannot or choose not to complete your commission. (As I will generally be relying on you to okay the trade, this is somewhat redundant. Still...)
2. I will not refund your money once the commission is complete, no matter how much you hate it. If you honestly don't like it, don't commission me again. You're paying for my time no matter what, and if you honestly believe that I've mislead you in any way, report me to the mods and let them sort it out. You have plenty of time to decide beforehand whether or not you feel that my art is worth the price or if you feel that I will be able to complete your commission to your standards.
3. I will not refund you for the difference if my prices change in the future, however I will notify you if they are changing in the middle of a commission:
If they go down, I will give you the lower price.
If they go up, your commission total will not change.



MY RIGHTS / COPYRIGHTS

1. I reserve the right to refuse any offer(s) for any reason, and to cancel the commission at any time, for whatever reason.
2. I reserve the right to post ANY of my own artwork, including your commission(s), regardless of the content or finished percent, wherever I choose to post it, along with your name and contact information. However, I generally will not release your email address without good discretion.
3. You may NOT copy, repost, trace, republish, alter, reproduce, sell, or claim my art as your own anywhere on or off the internet, with the intent of personal gain, without my WRITTEN permission.
4. You may not use my art as your avatar, profile picture, signature, web layout, etc. without my permission. I hate to be a stickler about this, but generally if someone likes my art and you put into your avatar or whatever, they will immediately attribute it to you when it should only be attributed to me. I have found great art and web comics this way, so I absolutely see my art being an extension of myself.
5. You MAY print out or save my art for your own personal enjoyment, but not gain. You may only repost my art in blogs, forums, etc. for the purpose of sharing my art with other people so that they may enjoy it too, as long as the credit for the work goes to me.
6. Unless otherwise stated, you MAY color my line arts and repost the image in your own personal gallery, however you must give me credit for my half of the work. This does not include taking my line work and making it rainbow or brown or magenta and then calling it a collab, I mean actually coloring the work itself.

The only exemption to number 4 is that you are only able to post my avatar art in your GAIA signature ONLY. However you still must link the picture to me in some way, either by posting a link to my commissions list or by writing "Art by Kashika" or some variant thereof.

FAQ


Quote:
Your prices don't imply how much of the character will be depicted, unless that's up to your creative interpretations?

It says up there that it doesn't matter how much your character shows, but the size of the file. A bust is going to fill up the same amount of space on a 600x800 pixel, 300 dpi drawing as a full body or a chibi or whatever would. I think this is nice in comparison to my irl commissions list, which charges you based on the size AND how much of the character is seen.

How much is seen depends on you. I don't mind if you guys want me to exercise some creative license over it, though.

OH. And I think this should go here too, but if you want chibis instead of regular bodies, you want to let me know that too.

Quote:
Could I get a copy of the lineart as well?

If you aren't already ordering a lineart on its own, sure. Just give me your email when it's done and I'll send it to you. Just don't erase my signature, okay? 3nodding

Quote:
Can I pay you a little extra?


Ehhhh, I suppose so. I've been told that tips are customary, but they make me a little uncomfortable so they aren't necessary. Just not too much, okay?


Quote:
Can I go back onto the waiting list while I'm already in a slot?

That's cool. Keep it to a separate post, though, I won't add you to the waiting list if you're already in the waiting list.

Quote:
Can I bribe you into giving me the next slot if I'm not first in the waiting list? *winkwink*

I originally said no, but I take it back. So long as the mini-shop is open and you have one of the following items to pay me with, I will bump you to the next slot if I agree to take on your commission(s). I will charge you only half of the commission total if you include one of the items from this list with the trade.

HOWEVER: Note that if you intend to bribe me, you must pm me first and then start the trade with the item once I agree to it, to prove that you have it - once you get the next available slot, you will add the gold to the item in the trade.

I am currently only interested in the following items:

If you will pay me with one of these, I will offer you a fully colored drawing, single or couple, simple or full background, colored or painted (digitally) however you like it, as long as it is 600x800 pixels big. AND I will do these for free.
Kitsune Mask (looking for 2)
Royal Cloak Black
Ancient Katana
Guitar of Angellus


For these, I will offer a single OR couple's drawing, cel-shaded, simple bg.
Angelbow (looking for 2)
Fire Gauntlet
Shadow Spirit (looking for 2)
Whip of Fire
Were Tail
(looking for 2)

For these, I will offer a single or couples line art flat colored with a simple BG.
Gwee the Dragon
Damascus Armor
Mythrill Armor

Sporran
Winter Rose
Availability: TEMPORARILY CLOSED - I have several things outside of gaia that need to be finished, and unfortunately if I take any commissions for now, I will get even farther behind than I am already. ''3

Slots:

1. Closed
2. Closed
3. Closed

For the time being I am only offering 3 slots, because I'm still in school and have irl commissions to finish, as well as I'm going to be starting a full time job soon. sweatdrop

If you are in slot 2 or three, please be prepared to wait a little longer for your art than the person in front of you.

Waiting list, in order of offers:

Whiskey Sour
Shoujoka
x_J i N X_x

If you are on the waiting list, I will pm you to let you know that the next slot is available, and I will do your commission if you are still interested and still have the GG available. If you are lacking the GG at the time, I will let people skip you until you have it ready, and if you are no longer interested, I will remove you from the list at your request.


Completed commissions:

1. Whiskey Sour - OC Couple, flat colored. (Cloud brushes from http://psychobob.xepher.net/screentonez/, I think. anyway, they aren't mine.)
2. Skeleton Briefcase - her Harry Potter OC, Giles, lineart. She gave me 30k for it so I let the rules slide and gave her a bg to make up for it. sweatdrop
3. Shoujoka - Couple lineart of her and her boyfriend. She mentioned a fantasy theme so I went for it. He's covered mostly because of her dress so there wasn't much to do in regards to him. sweatdrop Petal brushes from Skully7491 on deviantart. (Who is apparently gone now???)
4. Pixelate - Thigh up of her avatar
Greetings! I'd really like to place an order!

I was wondering though, your prices don't imply how much of the character will be depicted, unless that's up to your creative interpretations?
ORDER

I'd like a two person colored piece?
(5+3.5+10= 18.5k?- if you want more let me know.)
I don't mind simple/flat colors with minimal shading.
Could I get a copy of the lineart as well?

Alot of this information is already here, along with A BIG GALLERY of refernces half down the thread.

Eye color(s): Amber/ Crimson
Hair color(s): Brown/Black
Hair length and style: -See References-
Skin color: -See References-
Distinguishing marks: None
Clothes:
Her: Double Barrel Pirate Pistol
Him:Custom Scythe
Personality:
Her: Teasing, Sarcastic, Standoffish, Secretive.
Him: Good Natured, Funny and (at times) stoic.
Name: Giles Byron

If there's any way in which you could draw him sitting in a nice chair and surrounded by expensive jewelry or antiques, and yet looking miserable at the same time, that would be lovely. I will gladly tip.


I want only lineart. cool I'll be paying 30k because your work is simply wonderful and deserves a little more.
Darn, she's offline now. rofl heart

ORDER

I'd like a two person colored piece?
(5+3.5+10= 18.5k?- if you want more let me know.)


As far as the total goes, that depends on what you want. If you want the flat colors, it will only be 9,300 GG, but if you want to have it fully cel-shaded it will be the 18,500 GG. I also answered your questions in the FAQ.

As for how much is seen, do you want full body or knees up or what? Is there any particular thing you want them doing? Posing like they're taking a photo, or a natural interaction, or what?

Skeleton Briefcase
Name: Giles Byron

Clothes: He carries a cane - you can check the reference above for clothing.

I want only lineart. cool I'll be paying 30k because your work is simply wonderful and deserves a little more.


What kind of cane, exactly? A fancy one or a gnarled branch-like one?

Thanks for the extra offer, but you only need to pay the 5,000 GG. sweatdrop It says up there abstract backgrounds only, but I suppose I could do him sitting in a chair for you - it just won't be as detailed as the character himself. Not sure about the jewelry on the side, tho, but I'll see if I can do it in a way that it fits in the abstract category.

Start a trade with the correct amount and then I'll start the drawing. smile

No problem, unless I won't have any internet access for a certain period of time, I generally check up on this place every day. Just like mah email. razz

Btw, once you guys start a trade with me, I'll fill your names into the slots.

I will make the exception for you since you're ready to go, but next time, please wait for me to accept your commission before you start the trade. sweatdrop Haha, but I appreciate that you're already wanting to commission me again, even though I haven't started yet.

You're first on the waiting list, I just recalled that Skeleton Briefcase has already sent me a trade so she's going into the second slot. So I will PM you when the slot is ready.

Also, you're right, if it's avatar art or if you have a lot of references already, it's not entirely necessary. Also, thanks for providing that for me in advance, that makes things easier.

I'll put you and Soujoka on the waiting list after the other two. I don't see a problem with you guys going back onto the waiting list if that's what you want.
