Hello, all. I know I’ve done this before (and it wasn’t exactly a win, my fault mostly), but I’ve decided to try it again (because it was fun and prompts are awesome). So I’ve stream-lined some things and set down some more ground rules. Basically, read my rules, think about if you want a piece of artwork that would fit within those rules, and then hit me up (by filling out the form and waiting patiently--artwork is not instantaneous, even if it is faster to create than a novel).
Base: I am not a master artist, hence do not expect perfection or art at such a high level it belongs in a museum. Also, anything that you ask me to draw will have my spin on it because I will be drawing it using my style--not yours. I will try to make it as close as possible to the details you provide, but people can be tricky. However, I do have a good grasp of human anatomy and a way of putting ideas down on paper in ways that make them look like how I imagine them. I’m offering to draw humans for the most part, with some small wiggle room. I can do them either in manga style (mostly shoujo, though I could probably wing other styles) or my own 50s-influenced looks-pretty-realistic people. I can do head portraits (nicer term than mug shots), profiles, full-body pictures, and other. I can do basic backgrounds and add basic props (I’ve gotten a thing for knives and swords). I can also do humanoids (such as manga cat-girls, vampires, etc.) and dragons if you so prefer, but most other things wind up rather cartoonish and not in a good way.
Note: In payment I request reviews (on my own work--on which works is mostly up to you, but please look and see if you can find something up your alley). Reviews with good grammar that are not flames. I love good criticism, but flames are way beyond that. In general I will ask for one review when it comes to one character. For more than one character in a scene or a non-human character--well, I’ll work out the details with you depending on your request, okay?
Rules:
1. I do not draw naked people. Okay, so I start off with naked people and give them clothes, but do not ask for me not to dress them, capische?
2. In relation to rule one, I do not do romantic/'adult' scenes. Keep your requests PG-13. Also, I’m not the best at drawing people kissing. I’m working on it--but my ‘rents are sort of old-fashioned and it’s not like I really can, if you know what I mean. (Keeping things hetero may bode well for me as well, but if it’s not obvious it’s fine.)
3. I can attempt to draw your character with a pet or pets but it may take longer and the payment may be different depending on what you request. Cats and kittens, puppies and small dogs, and other easily drawn animals are preferred.
4. You can request another drawing if the one you receive is not up for par. However, please tell me what’s wrong with it, otherwise I can’t really help you.
5. Action scenes are okay, but too much detail is a no-no. A bunch of soldiers fighting behind your character, a dragon your character is fighting, etc. all count as extra characters, too.
6. I’m shilling character sketches here. Try and keep detail minimum except when it comes to the character. I want the character to look perfect. Everything else should be muted, though.
7. If you want more than one character in an art piece, message me and I will send you a proper form. There are too many possibilities to make forms for. That is, I only have a single-character human/humanoid form created. Knowing that you know to ask me specifically before you make a post if you want anything else so I can tell you if I can or cannot do it.
8. Try to avoid asking for two characters in an art piece, basically. That pretty much explains my rule.
9. If I object to something, don’t ask me to do it again.
10. Try not to complain if it takes longer than I said. Feel free to prompt, but please don't whine. No one likes that. Sometimes RL is just horrid or your request is difficult for me personally.

I’ll try and do four drawings every week. When school starts that number will drop. However, I will continually have four spots no matter how fast I do them. How quickly they fill, empty, etc. is relative.
If a spot is not open, you can leave info and I will work on yours as soon as possible. However, until the others are done I will not be working on it. Just FYI.

ultraviolet's request for a pseudo-realistic dark pencil with shading sketch of Adah Edric. (Check your inbox, ultraviolet!)

Be aware I reserve right to the artwork and that if I wish to put it on deviantART, sell it, etc. that is up to me.
(Also, I class this as a writing activity because it is directly relational to writing--as in, I’m drawing people’s characters for them. Book characters, short story characters, poem characters, etc.--whatever they want. Feel free to move this if needed, however.)
