::Announcements & News::

So if you've been keeping up, you've noticed that the full CG option has disappeared. In case you missed my announcement in the thread, this is because originally, I was tracing my lineart by hand with Photoshop's pen tool to get the really nice lineart. It was an insane amount of work. Then, however, I got Illustrator CS2, which has a tracing function that does almost the exact same thing in the tiniest fraction of the time it took me. It does this SO well and SO quickly, in fact, that I'm going to make that the standard - ink + color commissions will all be traced in Illustrator first, as will all straight lineart pieces. I spend less time, you pay less gold for higher quality - we all win.

Also, I've added a new link for a link swap. heart

::Rules of Conduct::

:: Be civil and act with respect. No name-calling, no slurs, none of that.
:: This is Gaia. Keep it PG-13.
:: When ordering a commission, follow the guidelines. If you barge in saying "hay gime art plzkthx lolomgzorz", I will not even consider it.
:: DO NOT STEAL MY ART. I don't mind if you downsize a commission that you've purchased and stick it in your sig, that's what I'm here for, but do not claim it is your own work.

If the need arises, new rules will be added. Hopefully I won't have to do that. sweatdrop

Breaking any of the first three rules once will get you warned. A second offense will get you greylisted. A third offense will get you blacklisted. Breaking the fourth rule will get you immediately blacklisted and reported to a mod. You have been warned.

::Guidelines::
Very important! Please read!

:: When ordering a commission, post your order in the thread and clearly tell me what type you want and if it's a single or a couple, or if it's a special order.

:: I am entirely willing to draw you a couples picture with an NPC. heart

:: A special order is one that involves anything not seen in my standard commissions. This includes alternate coloring styles, backgrounds, multiple pictures, and groups larger than two. If you want one of these, please go ahead and make your order in the thread as per normal, but let me know it's a special. I'll PM you to discuss details and pricing. whee

:: Please send your payment after ordering, and leave the trade open. After I have finished the commission, I will PM you with a pickup URL and accept the trade. 3nodding

:: Give me time. I'm no longer foolish enough to give you a deadline I think I can be done by, but I'll do my best not to keep you waiting TOO long anymore. (If I do, console yourself with the knowledge that I will feel very guilty for my procrastination. sweatdrop )

:: I prefer to be paid in gold, though item trades can be negotiated. I reserve the right to refuse an item trade for any reason.

:: I reserve the right to refuse business with anyone for any reason, or to ask for the removal of items.

:: I will not draw clown noses. I'm sorry, I just can't take them seriously and they're unexpectedly hard to draw. Please don't ask me to draw one. sweatdrop

:: No consecutive commissions, please - if you claim a slot when they open, please refrain from taking another one the next time they open. I'd love to see you come back, of course - this is just to be fair. 3nodding

:: I offer a special "Artistic License" discount. You can get any regular commission for 1k less if you ask for this discount - the catch is, by doing this, you agree to let me have some fun with your commission. Maybe I'll just give you a stylish new G Pin... or maybe I'll draw you in a salsa dress wearing a hat with fruit on it. twisted It's purely up to chance as to what I feel like doing. Wanna take the risk? wink
