Caph's art. Read news. No new orders please

[Discordia]

Shop front revamp with the help of RainbowPanda101. Thanks a million!

Huu,

I'm sorta drawing again. Sorry it's been awhile. This shop will be moving! To a neater, more organized mess once I set it up.
However, I want to finish your arts before I do any more, because that's totally unfair.
So those of you waiting who got in before I closed, I'll finish your pieces free of charge.

Please, if your order is not listed on the front page, shoot me a PM with your details so I can complete your order (You may also link me just to the post if you don't want to re-type it)

You're also welcome to change your order (character-wise) as long as it's the same type of order. I'm going to be trying to finish up things this week, so there's only a bit of time for you to change your order before I do your picture.

PM me with any questions. Sorry for the art hiatus and general blah-ness.

Surprise! I added something new! Be one of the first to get your very own Caph Plushie Lines! Why yes, I've designed a few different plushie lines that I will color in (and add all sorts of fun stuff) to! Find all details (on expressions, eye types, and add-on accessories here.

STATUS:
Full pieces are full
Chibi slots: full
Line-art slots: 5 OPEN
Human detailed fullcolor headshots: Closed except for the 2010 GUPPS. Will open at a later (undetermined) date

Welcome back! Once again, I'm offering colored chibi art for newborns (for examples, see my second post where the pick-ups are located). This month's chibi for newborns prices are as follows: For one chibi: TWO of either Cats or dogs (any combination) or 3 of anything else (any combination). Once they begin to grow I will once again put the points guide up. Until then, the pricing is as listed February: I'm not rating the pets by specific pet, but I am rating them by release/species (IE Feb release, CNY, Valentines, ect) Go here

**New special: 2 Chinese new year bunnies for a colored couple chibi OR couple inked sketch OR couple colored sketchwork (Both sketch derivatives are full pieces, not chibis. See below links for examples)**
**One new years bunny for: colored sketchwork OR inked sketchwork colored (May not be quite as clean, but you get my gist) Inked (Without a BG, sorry)

What is open:
1 full size (the prices have changed on the colored pieces. Traditional colored is 2 rare or 1 very rare, or you can have digital coloring done by Aeolus for one rare. (It's cheaper since I don't have to buy new markers for this option, not because of quality)
2 chibis
5 linearts

Here is the current chibi form: (please post separate form per character for multiple character picture)

'PA' INFO:
Not because I'm super-busy, but just because I am SO disorganized.
Most people need a mini-mod, I need a personal assistant (sort of). I have like...3 different threads, so I only need ONE person to help me with this stuff. Once the initial crazy-ness passes, there probably won't be much to do.
You need to be able to:
Go through the front post here when needed to and send me edits for spelling, organization, and general updates (IE my progress stats, incoming orders, incoming specials)
Figure out when my pickups is getting too cluttered and move the pictures into my dump thread (that other one where all random stuff goes. Getting the codes out can be achieved by just 'quote'ing my post and copying all the URL infos out of it. Not nesesary to separate them, just move the whole lot to my other thread, and then remind me to clean up my post here)
Answer questions , moniter feedback on my prices and deals
I'm making digital line-arts. I need to create some sort of organization to them and make post in my dump thread.
Help with my other thread (it's an adoptable thread, though it's not super busy or anything) people keep forgetting to post info and such
Moniter my private orders. I get a bunch of orders via PM that aren't always listed here. I need someone to keep track of this for me, you can use my 'dump post' thread to keep stuff around in there.
What I would lovelove: Someone who can put the links to people's forms into the line with their info that goes on my front page so I can FIND the refs without having to search the thread 45346356 times.

Your benefits:
1 free colored chibi a month (multi-character fine)
if you send me your character info, I'll probably just surprise you with gift arts and such (Seriously, I actually draw stuff all the time, I just don't always upload it)
Free avitar
Free adoptable box with unlimited events (within reason)

Okay, so it's snowing. I'd like to do a group picture. I'll take 3-5 characters. I haven't quite decided how many. I have the right to not draw your request depending on how many people enter. Please, your character will be drawn interacting with other people's characters. It's a group picture, and I'm only doing one. It may or may not be colored. It may or may not be sketchwork. It will be inked. You're welcome to color your own character in it and use it on this site. Please post with your character name, reference, a hobby and some personality information so I can draw them doing something action-y. Full-up
NOTE: My computer broke, so I don't have photoshop. Not sure when it's going to be back up. No banners/sigs or digital colors for now.

Hello! I'm Cacophony.
When the inspiration so strikes, I create some forms of art.
Unfortunately, I do not have a tablet, so I only do traditional work.
I enjoy putting work into my art, as I view it as less of a chore and more of a hobby.
Since I don't do much of it these days I figured that I would offer my services over here,
for a chance to draw some of the interesting characters of others.

NOTE
When I update you with sketches, the pictures will have been done with a digital camera/my webcam. BUT for your completed picture, I WILL be scanning it. Poor quality pictures are only WIPs, and will probably be in my shop update thread.
You can find finished shop examples in the pickup area or in http://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=354971&start=20

.

Things That I Can Offer You

- I can turn any character from quad form to anthro form, or vice versa.
- I can work with written descriptions. (That will have to be done through PM, in case I need to ask for more information. Feel free to post here in the thread with any questions.)
- I can take two characters and draw their young. However, I would need at least one drawn reference picture of each party. (Please, no written descriptions for the breeding parents. You can request characteristics of the young if you wish, but it's not required.)
- I can draw anthros, taurs, humans, and quads. My strengths are listed in that order.
- Multi-character pictures, with or without background.
- Background options, including partial background.
- Drawings of any scenarios, including violence. Especially zombies. I love zombies.

Weaknesses

- I CAN draw dragons, birds, reptiles and horses. However, be warned I am not very good with those particular species.
- All my coloring work is also traditional. What this means is my palate can be a bit limited when it comes to extreme shades. However, I do offer two remedies for this: I can draw clean lineart, and you can color it as you please OR I can color it digital. I have Photoshop 7, if you want me to make the lines transparent so you can color it. If you want me to color it digitally, that would need to be discussed via PM and require additional payment. Or, I can just color with what I have available. I have a decent array of shades, I just don't have everything (Specifically neon colors or multiple grey shades)

WIP Background
http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j288/ ... 132359.jpg

I'll post a quad picture later this week. I'm currently working on my first one I've done in awhile.

All the pictures in the banners are also examples of my work, spanning out over about a 4 year period. Any questions on the styles, feel free to post or PM me.

I range from sketches to full-color. I rarely do backgrounds, but I can be persuaded.

ART TRADES PHOTO HERE? (Something like your Welcome and Artwork signs...)

INFO ABOUT ART TRADE HERE

I will pictures for pictures. With an art trade, I will only be offering this if you use your own lines. I don't have any set promotions for this, but I will be offering about an equivalent of what you would make for me. I spend alot of effort on my work, and I would prefer to receive work of the same caliber. The complexity of the art you will receive will also be based on your skill. I love to see my characters in all styles (Human, anthro, Quad, Neko forms will all be accepted). Please PM me examples of your work when requesting this, and we will discuss payment there.

[/b]

Q. How long will my work take?
A. Probably about a week for lineart or full color. For sketches I'd say 3 days tops.
It takes me 3 hours or so for the lineart alone, that's why it takes so long.

Q. Are these prices going to stay the same?
A. I don't know. I may change my specials from time to time, so always check for art deals.

Q. Will you draw comics?
A. Not at this time. Nobody really requests them here on CS anyway, sometimes other sites do, but not usually here.

Q. Can I color my lineart?
A. Yes, but let me know when you place your order if that's what you are doing. Don't remove my signature. If you color your own version of my lineart, DO NOT TAKE OFFSITE! (The lineart you colored. If I colored it, you can. Read the rules for more on this!)

Q. Why did (insert username here)'s picture get finished before mine did?
A. It probably has to do with the complexity of the picture. Though I try to finish your pictures in the order I received them, it doesn't always happen. If you request a sketch or a chibi, it may only take me a few hours, but if you request a picture with a full colored background it might take me two weeks.

Q. I heard this one time you offered free art! Can I have free art?
A. I do occasionally run free art deals, however those are all first-come-first-serve. You can't reserve a spot, and it is done at random. There is no rhyme or reason to when I decide to offer free art. You can bookmark me to check what my status is (My title will always reflect what I'm doing) or just pop by now and again if you see my shop in the forum, but I don't give free art unless I'm offering a special.

Q. When do you actually accept my payment?
A. Between when I finish your lines and when I ink your picture. If I haven't recieved your payment for a colored picture, I will not color it until I do so. It takes alot of time to color your picture and it would be a real problem if I colored your picture and then didn't recieve your payment for it.

Q. Do you give refunds?
A. No, but I do also give you a chance to look at your picture at every step, so if you see something wrong, just let me know when you see your sketch/inkwork in the Art Shop Update thread.

Q. You haven't posted any art in a week!!! But I know you're still online where's my art??
A. I go online. Alot. Pretty much when I'm not working. Though, I might be online viewing your references or a bunch of other things. Sometimes I have art block or art overload. If it's going to be awhile in general, you'll see a note in the top of this first post in nice big letters, and with a reason.

[center]Here's Some Rules

- Tess's rules apply!
- You can re-size the pictures, but please don't crop for avatars or signatures, or remove my signature from your picture. If you'd like, for a small additional charge I can crop your picture to include an avatar with it. You just need to give me your size specs.
- You can remove my picture from CS. However, PLEASE let me know where you are taking it, and include a link back to this shop. I have done pictures for users on other sites before so I may even have an active profile where you are going.
- I know everyone hears this everywhere, but please don't pester me for your picture. So far, no one has even remotely given me a hint of pestering. However if you are curious about your wait time, just check here. I'll probably have some information posted for you.

Thanks![/center]

DISCOUNTS AND OTHER FUN FOR YOU

I am currently offering deals on advent pets! Read on for information.
-I am looking for the 2010 GPPS dog. That's right! One pet for a full color picture. You can choose either one or two characters. A couple pic will be full-body and colored, a single pic will be full-body and colored with a partial or abstract background, depending on what fits (You can ask about abstract backgrounds if you're interested)
-Dec 18th pets will get you...well...pretty much anything. For the 2010 new and the more popular re-releases (or any bunnies) I'll offer my services FREE for 2 months. Maximum of 1 piece/day, and one open order at a time HOWEVER you will recieve a MINIMUM of 10 pictures (Five/month) The number of pictures only depends on the complexity of your orders, and how fast I can actually physically make them and have them still be nice looking.
-For two bunnies I DON'T have, I will do a color piece. (One full body character OR a two character bust shot.) FOR EASE: My bunnies have been relocated into a "Bunny Love" folder in my pets section. Even though I have them, I do not remove them from my Wishlist! (I am not currently accepting this offer. Any who is using this payment and has been previously approved is fine. I may offer something similar in the future.)
-Buy 3, get one free!- Repeat customers now get a discount, the fourth order is 'free'. You choose the character and pose (if you wish) and I'll do the picture no charge. For a traditional piece it will be inked, but not colored, or you can have a one character chibi in color. (Some restrictions apply, offer subject to change. This is currently in the TEST STAGE, and may or may not be permanent.)

Simple clothing on anthros does NOT fall into this catagory, HOWEVER complex clothing with large highly specific details WILL be counted as an additional item(s). Adding a notebook, backpack, grenade, or balloons fall under this catagory!) This option allows you to choose your own pose and add up to two items. More than two items will be added separtately. If you are unsure about clothing or item count, you can PM me.

OPTION FOUR

Note: Common pets DO NOT have to be wishlist if they are from before August 2010. 2010 commons ARE okay, as long as they are something that I don't have already, or they're hoard pets. Hoard pets are listed on my Wishlist. My WL is a WIP. Please ignore this until I update it. WL is currently: Messy

ADD-ONS: To add induvidual items WITHOUT super-custom, I am offering a current deal of 2 items for 1 common pet (unless you're requesting something really obscure, then we would have to work something out).

Could you do an anthro version of http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb21 ... tosref.png ? He doesn't have an anthro form yet, so I don't have any reference.

Please:
Keep all the markings and the scarf and armwarmers on him.
No shoes.
Add red, shaggy hair (same color as fur) that lies across his left eye.
Add black pants with a rainbow-striped belt.

I'm assuming since I'm the first to post, I get the free slot?

Thanks! ^_^

[Discordia]

Er.. I should have made room for this stuff. My fail.



I can now resize! For speed, I'm not uploading anything with transparent BGs. If you want yours transparent, PM me and I'll have it done. Aeolus is helping me color/fix the BGs on some pictures. Both credit will be listed if we both worked on the picture.

Sounds good. ^_^ I can't wait! I don't have any characters in anthro forms yet, so this will be the first!

[Vaughn.]

How much would it costs for a full body colored anthro? c: Or are you not doing those currently?

[Discordia]

RP: Here is what I'm currently working on. This picture was taken with my webcam in the dark, so the quality is super-poor. But I just wanted to give you an idea of what I have already. I should be inking this after Thanksgiving sometime, though it may be sooner as the lineart is progressing well.
http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j288/ ... 150652.jpg
(Clicky link to my photobucket to see the lineart. I can attatch the photo to the thread if you like, but it's nothing spectacular right now)

Aeolus:
I'd say it depends on the coloring job needed. I've never seen such crazy patterns as I've seen on here (not that it's a bad thing, cause it's darned cool, I just haven't had much practice with that. (I could use some more). Pricing is not set in stone yet, since my shop is new but I can give you a price right now of 3 uncommons I don't have (which is pretty much anything before September. I really don't have much) OR 2 uncommon off my wishlist, OR 1 uncommon bunny I don't have (which is most), as I really happen to love the bunnies.

[Vaughn.]

I see...I have 111 pets on your wishlist so I'm sure I'm going to more than enough. xD
I know you said one uncommon bunny on your wishlist, but I'm just going to throw in another. c:

Would this be enough? I could list some characters of mine that you can pick from, since I'm not sure which ones would be too hard for you.

[Discordia]

Aw yay, I love bunnies!

Anyway, back on topic: I do better with canines and felines, in that order. I can do dragons and such, but it's definately not my specialty. If you want you can list a few, I should be online for another half hour. I can also keep you updated on the status of your art as I'm doing for RP above (I post the WIP to my photobucket account via webcam, then I come in and post the links)

**edit: I can also come back after work and take a look here and get started on my own, as I do come online after I get out of work. Probably should put that.

[Vaughn.]

Okay, here you go. ^^ All of them can be drawn as anthro. ~ I'll tell you the clothing once I pick.
