Welcome

User Image Hello valued visitor, and welcome to the Ruroini Art Shop. I'm Kenshin456, but you can call me Ken. I've been an anime artist for almost four years now, and I thought it would be a fun idea to try doing commisions for people. With your ideas and suggestions, I may become a better artist, and make a bit of gaia gold along the way. Since I'm not all that great, and this is mostly a learning experience, my prices should be very cheap, and I promise to do the best job I can on each commision I do.


About the Shop:
User Image
* I offer drawings, both sketches and CGs, at resonably low prices.

* So far I can do avatar art, normal sized anime characters, and I've begun to do chibis

* Animals aren't exactly my speciality, but I will try my hardest....just don't expect a masterpiece

* Drawings can be expected to be completed within a few days after the request is made, especially during the summer and on weekends. However, please note that artist block can lengthen the waiting period, as well as bugging me to finish.

* When I do a drawing for someone else, I usually put my best effort into it, so quality shouldn't vary dramatically unless the drawing is really really hard


I thank you for your time for visiting, and I hope that you will consider making a request.

Rules of the Shop:

1) When requesting, please be sure to be as descriptive as possible with what you want. Not only will it allow me to truely understand how to draw what you want, but it will also lower the chances of artist block, thus lowering the amount of time it takes for you to receive your commission.

2) Please do not spam this thread. I worked hard on it, and no one likes to see that kind of stuff, it's just not necessary.

3) Do not flame me or any of my valuable customers. Take it to the pms, please.

4) If you wish to advertise your own shop here, contact me through a private message, and we can work out if we want to advertise each other's shops. Don't just post it here without telling me.

5) Do not pressure me to finish artwork, I try my hardest, and pressuring me will just lower the quality of the drawing because you'll make me rush.

6) Payment is only required after the drawing is to your liking

Prices:

As promised, I try to keep my prices cheap because this is mostly so I can get out of my comfort zone and draw things that people want, not just what I want or know I can do.

Once again, prices will not be discussed and payment will not be expected until after my customer is satisfied with their drawing.

Note: Please do not request a drawing if you do not have the money for it. If you know it's out of your price range, then go play Jigsaw or do whatever you need to do to make money before it's completed.

Also: I do not accept items as payment, because usually if you pay me with something of equal value to the commission's price, I usually only get half of the money I would expect, and if you give me something that would sell for the set price, then you just spent about twice the cost. Overall, item trades just don't work out for any of us.

Sketches:

Head Shot - 50 - 150 gold

Upper Body - 300 - 750 gold

Full Body - 800 - 1200 gold

CG Drawings (using Photoshop Elements 2.0):

Head shot - 200 - 350 gold

Upper Body - 1000 - 1500 gold

Full Body - 2000 - 3000 gold

Chibis:

Sketch - 150 - 300 gold

CG - 400 - 550 gold

Group Pics:

Take the price of whatever style the first character is, and then it's +50% of that price for each additonal character.

Ex: you get a CG Full Body that will cost 2000 gold. For another character, it only costs 1000, making your bill only 3000

How to Order:

To order a drawing from this shop, there are no real directions. All I ask is that you are descriptive. If you are descriptive with what you want, I will most likely not get artist block as much since I'll be able to picture what you want in my head easier, and your art will most certainly be completed faster this way. While these are not exact rules, here are a few things you could do to help make things easier for all of us.

1) You could send your request to me by a pm or by posting it here. It's doubtful that I'll lose anyone's request, but PMing it to me might be a better option.

2) If you want it colored, but you're not entirely sure what colors you want, describe to me a basic theme, such as dark, light, shiny, gloomy, varying, etc.

3)Provide example pictures of what you want and tell me what you want from those example pics to be put into the actual drawing.

If you really want to be descriptive, but don't exactly know how, you could use this skeleton I made. This is completely optional
