Reddy's Custom Art and Trades (Closed)

Postby Redbird » Tue Jun 30, 2015 11:46 am

WELCOME TO REDBIRD'S ART SHOP

We are: OPEN


OUT OF SCHOOL FOR THE SUMMER!!! Briefly opening commissions for a very short time until work gets serious and I start getting burnt out.


Image


I am generally comfortable and experienced drawing anything you could ask of me- any subject and any content. If for some reason I am not, I will let you know. I do not draw most JBDs or Kias, please ask first.

Due to the fact that I am an EXTREMELY busy college student and working two jobs, making art for virtual pets doesn't seem like the biggest priority to me anymore. My prices reflect this accordingly. If you feel that my prices are still unreasonable, we can discuss them, but I do my best to be fair from the start.

TRADES- I actually do prefer art TRADES with this in mind. If you are a quality artist, I will probably be quite willing to do a trade with you. Just ask.



The Short Rules:

These things are basically common sense. If you need clarification, read the extended version below.
~Don't steal. Don't steal characters, don't steal art. Credit me when you post my art on other websites- please link to my Deviantart or Chickensmoothie account.
~Be clear, be kind, be courteous.
~I'm human, and sometimes I cannot fulfill orders. I will let you know if this is the case as soon as possible.
~Please send payment as a trade request as soon as you order. I do not accept it until the art is done.


The Long Rules:
~Art theft is not tolerated here. If you are even suspected of it, I will report you. This includes asking for art of others' characters, taking art made for someone else, claiming them as your own, etc. I have drawn art that I was commissioned for gifts for peoples' friends. That is okay. Theft is not.
~DO NOT edit, copy, trace, heavily reference, or claim as your own any art I have made for you. This is another case of art theft, and you WILL be reported. This includes, but is not exclusive to, making avatars, cropping, adding text, changing the background, and posting on other sites without crediting.
~Give me CLEAR credit for art when posted on other websites- please link to my DA or CS accounts.
~If you believe I forgotten about your order, it is okay to ask about it politely, by sending me a PM, but please do not constantly bother me about your art, especially if the news says that orders may take longer than planned for whatever reason.
~On the other hand, please also be patient. I have many responsibilities in real life, and requests may take several weeks, especially if you are lower on the list.
~Your payment trade MUST be sent before I start your art. On that note, it MUST be sent as request, not a suggestion. I will not accept it until the art is finished, but I need reassurance that the pets you offer are very much real, and you will not fake me out of them.
~When describing what you want, please be clear and detailed. It's okay to add more than one reference if needed.
~**If you are asking me to draw you tryout art for a character or something of the likes (ie. you need the art done by a specific due date), please remember I am not a machine! If you look at my to-do list a couple posts down and see there are a few people ahead of you, please don't ask me to get your art done in a day, unless you're asking for a sketch or something. I try my hardest to fill all requirements, but some things I just cannot possibly do, so if your date is soon and I'm busy, consider commissioning me on another character instead.

Examples

Examples/Prices:


Unlike many artists, I do not charge extra for color or shading- it comes automatically with any full piece you order. Any work that you receive will be of my best quality. Sketches do not include color or heavy shading, but I do tend to at least do some light shading and clean the art up a bit. :)

I accept art trades as payment. If you are an artist, and are willing to draw one of my characters for me, I will certainly draw one of yours for you! Please ask me about trades; I love them.

I try to provide many options of payments for each type of art. I can't list every possible option, but if you will pay up to the value of said price, we could probably work something out. For example, paying many rares up to the value of a VR, or many VRs up to the value of a list pet, or paying in C$....

I DO NOT accept spiders or rats as payments, unless they are wishlist.


I am likely also willing to negotiate for wishlist OMG so common-uncommon pets and/or wishlist items

Examples:
Cougar
Three of my character headshots
Linette

Price:
1 Rare OR 3 uncommons
+3 Uncommons (or 1 rare) per extra character
