Introduction To My Production!!

User Image Why Here?!

This is a bit different, no? A journal,
being transformed into an art shop?
Why would I do that? Wouldn't it be more effective
to have it in the Mini Shop Forum?! No. Not in my opinion anyway.
You see, I've tried holding several different threads,
but there is just too much competition, and thus,
my work is hardly ever seen.
Not only that, but I tend to have trouble keeping threads alive in general.
Besides, here I am able to monitor things more closely.
Such as, not having to worry about bumps, advertisements,
and conversations getting in the way of me possibly missing a request.
Now, it may seem like laziness to you,
but I find this idea of posting only requests in my journal
less time consuming then having to look over hundreds,
even thousands of pages just to find them all.
Another good thing about this method is that
I don't have to worry about forgetting who wants what.
That's why I've created special order forms,
that you will
NEVER PM to me,
but merely post in the comment sections.

User Image How Do I Do It!

I am constantly being asked what medium(s) I use,
and quite honestly, I've grown rather tired of saying
the same thing over and over again.
And I'm sure you know how that is.
In any case, I figured, hey!
Why don't I just put that here too?!
So as is, I'll give you a gist of how I go about my work.

To begin with, my art is mostly traditional, but not completely.
What exactly does that mean? I start out by drawing,
and possibly inking it on regular blank piece of paper.
I always color them with Prisma Color colored pencils.
And for those of you who don't really know what they are,
they are fancy wax based pencils that make blending of the colors a bit easier,
and they tend to be rich, and vivid.
After the piece has been scanned,
I use a program called,
Photoimpression 5 for touch-ups, and any wanted text.

User Image Good Things To Know...

* When I am ready to draw your avatar,
I will send you a trade.
Until you have sent back the trade with the proper payment,
I will not actually begin to draw it.
Also note that I will
NOT
complete the trade until I have gotten the art to you.

* I do enjoy drawing, but my life does not revolve around it.

* I put lots of time and effort into my work,
and I understand that I still have a long ways to go,
so I ask that you do not bash it.

* I will limit how many people I can take at one time.
This way, it's me, and only me drawing the pictures.
I will
not hire other people to help me keep up.
When I need a break, I will make note of it.

* Do
NOT keep asking me when it will be done.
I too, have my off days, and I don't like giving people crappy art,
so please don't expect your art within the same week you order it.
Besides, chances are, you're probably not going to be
the only one on my list. ^-^; hehe
