Welcome to my lineart shop!

Turning my sketches into linearts is the part of digital art that I have the most patience for. I've always liked the anatomical study part of drawing, and I find that I get impatient when I'm working on a full render of a piece--trying to make it lineless, trying to deal with five million layers, etc. Then I remembered that there are markets for linearts too. So here we are, lol.

I draw horses, cats, dogs, wolves, birds, foxes, and other realistic animals the most. However, I will also draw humans, dragons, and the like from time to time. For the most part, in this shop, I will be drawing whatever I feel like drawing. 100% of the time, I use a reference that is a photograph I took and have sole copyright over. Thus, you'll notice a lot of horses, because I know people who ride horses and join them at the barn with my camera sometimes.

Here, you will find YCHs and linearts for flat sale. More information in the next few posts. The linearts I have available are always changing, and availability for YCHs and sale is first come, first served, though I can be bribed pretty easily :)
On CS, I have the (lofty!) goal of collecting every pet. So, hopefully this should help me find some of the older and rarer pets that are harder to get my hands on.

Lastly, before I get into prices and details: feel free to PM me and request a specific lineart, whether it's a pose or species you're looking for <3

- 3rd post: current lines + availability

✦ For those who don't know: "YCH" stands for "Your Character Here."
✦ Selecting this option means that you will give me references or a description of your character, and I will draw them on my pre-made lines (which you can see in the next post!)
✦ I am willing to add minor changes to the lines (ie, a unicorn horn, a longer/shorter mane, changes to the eyes, etc). I am not willing to add large lineart changes (breed changes, wings, huge tail, etc)

Prices!
✦ I can take payment in Pets, C$, or USD.
✦ For a simple YCH, this is mostly pwyw, but I would like wishlist pets only.
✦ Specifically, I am looking for WL R/VR/stores, with preference given to older pets, or large bulk UC and below. Items are also acceptable. Make me an offer :)
✦ I reserve the right to turn down an offer if the price is not high enough.
✦ To offer on a YCH, please fill out this form and either post it here or PM it to me:

Code: Select all

✦ I am also willing to sell the linearts flat-out. This means that I will give you the file for the lineart, so that you can take it into your own art program and color it in yourself--as many times as you would like! Effectively, this gives you unlimited use of the lines rather than just one character.
✦ I can give you recommendations for free art programs if you don't have one. I myself use a free program, and I recommend using MediBang to open these files. It works just like Paint Tools Sai and is free to download.
✦ There are two types of lineart purchase: exclusive and open.
✦ "Exclusive" means that, once you buy the lines, you are the only person permitted to use them. I cannot make YCHs with them, and others cannot purchase their use. You're the sole owner.
✦ The only rule with exclusive lines is that you keep my signature and do not claim credit for the lineart. Exclusive lines are only available *before* a YCH has been made for a certain set of lines, so act fast :)
✦ I will add new linearts regularly. If exclusive lines prove popular, I may offer linearts for exclusive sale only.
✦ "Open" means that, once you buy the lines, you have the file to do with as you please--but I am also still allowed to use the lineart to make YCHs, and others can buy use of the lines.
✦ Feel free to request a lineart--send me a pm, and we'll work something out.


Prices!
✦ I can take payment in Pets, C$, or USD.
✦ For exclusive linearts, I would like payment to be a high-value older WL pet, preferably with value exceeding 0.5-1 non, negotiable. This is because I won't have the option to use those lines anymore, and I want it to be worth my time!
✦ For open linearts, I would like the payment to be a high-value older WL pet, preferably at least a lower list pet or older store. I'm not setting a lower limit on these, but keep in mind that I'd prefer at least a MA :)
✦ I reserve the right to turn down an offer if the price is not high enough.
✦ To offer on a lineart, fill out the following form and either post it here or send it to me in a PM:

For each lineart, I have posted a decreased-size PNG of the original, uncolored lines. Note that the lines themselves, and all finished YCHs, will be higher quality and a larger size.

There are three options available for each lineart.

✦ 1: YCH. With a YCH, I will transform my existing lines into artwork of your character/pet/etc. Provide me with a reference, description, photo, and I will take it from there, giving you a finished, colored piece like the examples below.
Note: For a YCH, I am working with the existing lines. I am happy to add small changes--a longer/shorter mane, feathering, a horn--but I will not be adding any large changes, such as breed change or wings. Complex designs might cost a little extra and/or take a little more time.
There will be a limited number of YCH slots available per lineart!

✦ 2: Exclusive Lineart. The exclusive lineart option is only available BEFORE people order a YCH of the lineart (so get in fast!) or if the lineart is expilcitly *not* available for YCH. You pay for the art, and I send you the file of the lineart + shade layer. It is now exclusively yours, to do with as you please, and I cannot use the lineart anymore for YCH. My only rule is to please leave my signature on the artwork, and do not claim credit for the lines. I want people to know where you got it :)
Note: Exclusive Lineart is the most expensive option for lines.

✦ 3: Open Lineart. If you want to use the lines to color your own character, but don't have enough to afford Exclusive or don't want it for whatever reason, this is the option for you. You pay for the art, and I send you the file of the lineart + shade layer. It is *not* exclusively yours. I can still use it for YCH, and others can pay for open lineart and use it. But you will be able to use the lines to make as many of your characters as you would like :)
