Introductions
Hello! I shall try to keep this brief but my name is Samantha (Sam or Sammy also work <3) I am starting this art shop to keep me busy when I have nothing to do, as well as get back in the swing of things here on CS (I've been gone for a couple years or more now .A. ). With that said this shop will focus on custom artworks but will also have some "Base Line" slots available, which is where I have bases I can fill out. Do take note that I will NOT do pixel art, as I suck at it. Other than that a list will be promptly below stating what I can/cannot do. Remember feel free to PM me or post to ask any questions you may have!

Will Not Do
-Sexual Themes
-Half Naked/Naked
-Pixels

Will Do
-Humans
-Animals
-Anthros
-Chibi

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Custom Art

Custom Art is any and all art made from scratch, using no bases or pre-made works. All of it will be one of a kind, special to it's owner. Any pose, character, facial expression, and possible backgrounds may be used. All custom art will be digitally drawn and colored, should you request traditionally done artworks please make sure to add that into your form. However, take note that I currently do not have any current traditional artworks listed in examples because it is not my focus.

If you would still like to consider ordering traditional artworks I can use the following mediums: acrylic, watercolor, oil pastel, coloring markers, colored pencils, gel pens, and of course the standard 2B pencil for basic drawings.

Base Line Art

Base Line Art is any artwork made using the bases I currently own. The bases can be used to attach your character to it with any additions. These also can be ordered to create a full-scale Reference Sheet for your characters. Please look to pricing for more info on ref sheets. Below I will list the current bases. Examples of the bases IN USE will be listed under examples.

Bases Not Created by Me
(I have bought these and have the right to use them, clicking them will link you back to the original base and owner)
Cutie Pie
Chibi
Canine

Bases Created by Me
None yet!

Avatars

Avatars are square artworks used as identifiers for individuals on websites. Currently there are no bases for the avatar section, so all avatar orders will be custom works. All avatar artworks will start out as a 1in x 1in square, so remember to put what sizes you would like to have your avatar in! If you just want a 100x100 pixel avatar, then that is what you'll receive.

Line Works

Line works is a place you'll come to if you have an idea for a species that you want to see realized but can't or don't want to draw yourself. Basically if you want to create a (for example) a deer/shark hybrid for your own adoptable thread or whatever you can come here and get a custom lineart for you to work with and use. All I request is that you link me to the thread (or whatever it is you're using it for) and credit me for making it! But remember, no pixels.
To order a LineWorks artwork, please PM me when LineWorks is open! This way we can talk one on one to discuss your creature, create concept art, and work from there!

Backgrounds

If you are looking to order JUST backgrounds, you can also do that. Once you own them you can do whatever you want with them, as long as you remember to give credit to who drew it (me :> ). To order only a background, use the single form underneath the 'Other' category in the [Slots] Post.

Prices

I know prices are scary and really high for good art so I'm going to try and make it affordable for everyone. I take three forms of payment: CS pets, CS$, and DA points. You can choose which one is best for you, but if you can I prefer DA points ;U; . All artworks will be uploaded with a watermark to my Deviant Art account and owners will be sent a non-watermarked version to be used where/when they see fit. All artworks will contain my signature and date (you can request the date not be added on).

If you are paying on CS and your form was accepted, you should send the trade as soon as you can. This lets me know you have payment ready. I will not accept until your artwork is 100% done. Once completed I will accept the trade and send the non-watermarked artwork to you.

If you are paying on DA and your form was accepted, you should send half of the payment at the beginning. Once your artwork has been completed and sent to you, I will request you send the rest of the points.

About Reference Sheets: Reference sheets will show the front/back or side/side of a single character and the image will include color swatches and information about the character including: name, age, sex, sexuality, etc. Additions to the sheet will cost extra.

About Simple Animation: When I say simple, I mean simple. I can't do much beyond blinking, tail wagging, coat markings glowing, and maybe fire breath (that would be with mouth either always closed or always open). I'm not very good at animation, but I can at least do tiny simple things ;u;

Onto the icky part, yea?

Examples

I'm going to try and break it down into five main categories: sketch, line, flat, shade, and other. Below each category will have one or more examples for each item within a category. I know my categories aren't the best, but it's the best way I have at the moment? PM me if you have anything better ;u;

All characters listed as examples belong to their proper owners, do not steal.

Sketch Artworks
Sketch artworks are any artworks with sketchy lines.

Star Line Headshot
Star Flat Headshot
Star Shaded Headshot
Cael Flat Fullbody
Angel RoughFlat Fullbody (Meant to look roughly colored)
Cael x Dagger Flat Fullbody, Simple Background

Line Artworks
Line artworks are any artworks with ONLY clean lines. That means no color, no shading, nothing. These are all custom characters with custom lines or characters used on base lines.
This does NOT include LINE WORKS (sorry if there's any confusion).

Slots

I have a VERY limited amount of slots because I do not want to overload myself and then not finish anyone's artworks. Slot categories are listed from easiest to hardest, the more difficult, the longer it takes. The slots are at the bottom of this post.

This is where you'll get your forms for ordering artwork. Please choose the best category that fits the art you want and fill out the form located underneath the category. The forms are split into 'Part One' and 'Part Two'. Part One of the forms are located underneath the category, Part Two is at the bottom of the post.

It's ok if things get a little haywired, I'm still trying to work the kinks out.

Part Two of Forms!
After picking up the first half of your form, please choose a second half based upon whether you want custom art, base art, or an avatar.

Custom Art

Code: Select all

[b]I want a Custom Artwork[/b]
[b]Size:[/b] (Headshot, Fullbody, and Waist-Up)
[b]Extra:[/b] (add if you want your artwork animated or to have a background here; remember to describe BG)
[b]Other:[/b] (add in any extra info you may want to add or put N/A)
[b]Payment:[/b] (Pets, CS$, or DA points)
[/center]

Base Art

Code: Select all

[b]I want a Base Artwork[/b]
[b]Which Base:[/b] (CutiePie, Chibi, or Canine)
[b]Extra:[/b] (add if you want your artwork animated or to have a background here; remember to describe BG)
[b]Other:[/b] (add in any extra info you may want to add or put N/A)

[b]Other:[/b] (add in any extra info you may want to add or put N/A)
[b]Payment:[/b] (Pets, CS$, or DA points)
[/center]

So For Example

If you wanted to get a Flat-colored, Fullbody, Custom Artwork you would grab the first half of the form from 'Flat' which gives you:

Flat Artwork
Username:
Character: (Include name and links to reference images)

Then the second half from 'Custom Artwork' which is:

I want a Custom Artwork
Size: (Headshot, Fullbody, and Waist-Up)
Extra: (add if you want your artwork animated or to have a background here; remember to describe BG)
Other: (add in any extra info you may want to add or put N/A)
Payment: (Pets, CS$, or DA points)

Then you'd put them together and fill it out:

Flat Artwork
Username: Samantha5696
Character: Star, she's a personification of space and she's very flirty and silly but can be a little vain. Her coat is purple with a lighter gradient above her and a darker gradient below her. All of her light blue markings are static, but the light blue overlays of the other stars appear randomly across her coat. The "lace" like markings are also the light blue overlay, they are static. She's also really fluffy and soft.
I want a Custom Artwork
Size: Fullbody
Extra: I want Star sitting on a yellow star, wagging her tail. I want her in a chibi/simplistic form.
Other: Please add a simple gradient onto the star.
Payment: DA points

Then if I have any other questions, I'll PM you and ask you about it, otherwise once you're accepted I'll get started on it as soon as I can! When you fill out the form, you don't have to know exactly how much you'll need, I'll confirm it with you once you're form is accepted. You just need to be able to pay for it when the time comes.

F.A.Q.

Q. Who/What is the purple dog at the top of the thread and all throughout the examples?
A. That's the personification of space, Star! Originally I just needed to quickly do some examples so I did a headshot of a dog sticking her tongue out. But just black lines? Boring. So I added a teal to purple gradient to the lines and I was like "OH MAN THAT'S LIKE SPACE COLORS" and I love space and stars and whatnot so she just kinda happened? After I finished her full body I was going to have her laying at the top of the thread instead of wagging her tail but I wanted to try some small animation and I thought that'd be cute :> I was going to give her a clever name but her nickname can just be Star haha

Q. Why is your thread so wordy and confusing?
A. Cause I'm a terrible human being and try to make things fit together as easily and neatly as possible and then it all spirals out of control? @u@;;; My b. If you think there's anything I could change/fix to make it better just PM me <3
