Erm... yeah. I'm bored and out of ideas for what to draw, so you can request if you want... eherm. Rules.
1. I have a lot going on in my life right now, what with projects, homework, a play, a trip and a graduation coming up, so plz try to limit the requests. Only a few at a time. Or, to be more specific, I'll look at, oh, say, five requests at a time, and work on two at a time. Please count the requests- if there's already five or more, kindly refrain from posting until I say I'm taking more requests.
2. Understand that when it comes to art, the scale of things I can draw is limited. I can draw MOST Pokemon, for one thing... I'm not that good at people, but I can try... ah... eherm... Sonic characters I can sort of do, I can do a scant few Duel Monsters, like the Blue-eyes series... (but not the people! PLEASE don't ask me to draw Yugi or Kaiba or something!), and if you have a person or Pokemon/critter that you made up, I will attempt it. Also, I can draw sort-of-legendary critters (meaning phoenixes, dragons and such). If it's from something else, there is a fair chance I won't know what it is, so attach a picture. And even then I may not do it. And about human requests... it's not that I won't draw them. I don't suck at them. That much.;) But, for example, I would really like to draw some pics of Bakura, or maybe Kenshin, and that may be along the lines of what you want (besides; I do need the practice), but considering that drawing humans is not my greatest strength, I would much rather practice them as little sketches for myself where it doesn't matter if they look like space clowns or something. Rather than, that is, drawing a space clown Bakura for someone else and disappointing them. I don't like it when people are disappointed with me. :( Please be nice and don't ask for people unless you will explode if you cannot request one. ;)
3. Yow, that was a long rule. Anywayz, try not to ask for more than 3 smallish subjects in one pic. Chances are that if you want your Pokemon team done, or a group shot of all your RPG characters, I won't do it unless it really interests me.
4. Be really specific in your requests. I mean, those of you who have seen my scant requests can probably tell how indecisive I am when I request. "Draw me a cute Torchic doing whatever"... lol. I want more than that. However, if you absolutely do not care, like me, I suppose I can deal with that. But try to be specific, k?
5. Don't ask for anything terribly detailed. I saw someone requesting for something with the Death Star in the background once... I CANNOT DO THINGS LIKE THAT. Even if you want a pic with the subject's clothes moving in the wind, well, I stink at drawing folds, so, no. If you make a request like that, either change it, forget it or it WILL BE IGNORED.
6. All pics will be drawn in pencil, probably inked with a technical pen, and maybe colored with colored pencils if I feel like it (or if the request absolutely requires color due to descriptions). That is, until I can figure out how to make my tablet work the way I want it to. Be warned, I don't shade very well.
7. As was said above, the pics will be done with a simple pencil and paper, so they'll have to be scanned. The only scanners I have even remote access to are those at my mother's job, which is very far from where I live, and these blasted things almost never work. You may have to wait a while... a loooonnnngg while, that is. Be patient. If you keep posting asking where your pic is, I'll just keep it for myself and you'll never see it. Ever. Not like people here do that, though. At least, I HOPE they don't...
8. Forgive me if the pic is on lined paper or on the back of an old homework assignment. Don't worry, I'll warn you if it is. You see, I'm just a little ahead of most of my class, so I have a bit of spare time during lessons. During that time, I take out old papers and start doodling and sketching on the back. I'll try to draw them on good paper that, for example, does not have finding the surface area of a pyramid on it anywhere, but for some very odd reason, my worst pics are on quality paper and my best are on old scraps of math or German work that you can see the writing on the vast majority of the time. And I would much rather put up a good pic on icky paper than an icky pic on good paper. Simply put, I'm very sorry if your Gardevoir ends up on the back of a graphing assignment that has bright red Sharpie somewhere on it. (The paper probably won't be that bad, but it was an example of what could very well happen.)
9. I have every right to refuse to draw or even ignore any of your requests. The only reasons I should have to do that are:
You didn't follow the rules.
The pic is too complicated or is something that I loathe so much I will never ever draw it in my life, even for a million dollars.
The request is too obscene, violent, vulgar or upsetting to me in any way.
I have too many requests to deal with at that point. (If this is the case, you can try again WHEN I SAY I am willing to look at requests again.)
Sorry that took so long, but I just wanted to lay down the rules. Thank you for reading this. Ah... eherm... Request away, I guess! *looks at rules* Wow, I can't believe I just said all that without flaming my art once. I mean, I'm not as good as some other people here, but I actually got through a 5550 character post without dissing my work! Hooray for me! (And no, I did not count all the little letters and spaces in my post. I'm not THAT weird.)
