[center]It's been more days than I thought since the last post/dropoff. I didn't realize I'd put together quite so many finished planters. But I did finish the effects finally and now there are only like 15 orders in the queue.
@ryttu3k @Apricoots @Nowai @FawnAndAce
Your orders look correct if you'd like to send a Message with payment! (all other orders that haven't been addressed have had payment received and I'm assuming that they're correct until I can take a closer look)
@HereBeDragons @Stitched I think I'm going to start a policy of no more than 3 ordered by a single person at one time (and then able to order the next round once they're dropped off)
@casdeth Sure, linking is fine. I used to make dropoffs with links but it got to be too much extra work.

[size=5]Announcement Time![/size]
[b]1. Crimson Frost Birches are completed [/b]
They've now been added to the front page as available for order. Also, the more typically green-foliage [b]Paper Birches[/b] can be funded by someone at any time for 50xBirch Logs.
[b]2. Tweaks to bonsai pot ordering system[/b]
i) Cost of [b]Pearly Pots[/b] has been changed so that the Orange Goo is replaced by Yellow Ooze, [b]Platinum Pots[/b] now have an additional requirement of 1xGrey Slime
ii) [b]Each colour payment spans a maximum of 3 pots[/b] (i.e. Cost for gold in a single configuration is 1xGold Ore and 1xGold Muck. Cost for all gold pots in a double configuration is 2xGold Ore and 2xGold Muck), BUT the hierarchy of colours still applies (i.e. to make a rainbow arrangement with all 9 colours from green to blue you would only need to make 3 colour purchases at tiers of: blue [covers blue/gold/red], darksteel [covers darksteel/purple/pearly], and silver [covers silver/copper/green]). This has actually been reflected in the text on the front page for a while now, but I hadn't made any sort of announcement about it.
[b]3. Poll regarding future shop practices[/b]
[size=5][url=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Dh2b6T1ZvXg0day6iGc_e_RRiDen60GKedvwt3vHOQ0/viewform?usp=send_form]LINK IS HERE[/url][/size]
[i]Expected to remain open until the end of August.[/i]
[u]First of all:[/u] the poll has options for which Coliseum-exclusive creatures I'm going to make sprites for after the Crows are done. Will be based on popular vote with no funding payment, so no usernames required.
[u]Secondly:[/u] It's getting to the point where I can't really keep up with the demands of the shop, so I'm looking into options for reducing the work load to some extent. One thing is I'm considering releasing some of the more basic assets for anyone to use and manipulate for personal use (mostly for the items that are easily obtained in the Coliseum). I also want to see if there's anyone else interested in using the library of pixel assets that I've built up to run a parallel bonsai shop, possibly transferring over much of the work with Type 1 planters in the 100px-200px size range. I would require some minimal level of artistic ability in terms of putting together a composition (and I'd have a tutorial and set of examples ready before application process), as well as willingness to follow the shop format where a certain number of items are required as part of payment. Other than that I'd allow freedom to choose pricing for the base cost and any custom edits (though I still intend to create all base sprites myself to keep the style consistent!). I have a document written out with more specific details, but I don't plan on posting it unless there's some level of positive interest.

I cannot do the form, it gets me really confused to the point I want to throw up. So I'll try to be simple without it.
I'd like
type ten gold pots, sized
200px. As for tree, I'd like
autumn silver maple(number 14).
Grey Star Moss as ground covering, a
pale whiteyellow Dayglo Tresh. Finally, a
Light Runestone and
Crystal Quartz.
As for arrangement, I'd like the crystal to be in left small pot with light runestone resting against the said pot. Now for right wide pot, tree in middle with Dayglo Tresh next to it. Star moss ground covering for right pot only.
It comes down to..
1 gold muck/1 gold nugget
15 maple leaves
10 star moss
10 dayglo tresh
10 crystal quartz
5kT for the runestone
Is that good, clear enough for you? I may add more in the future, but this is it for now!

PookaWitch You order them in stages. So there's a base price, and then all the special things you pay in items (Like I used Potash Pears and Glow Mushrooms for Aduial's along with Star Moss.) I've been slowly gathering 100px ones for all my OCs and since I had Aara's, well, you cant get something for just one twin xD;; I got really excite when I saw the Autumn version with Smoke. Super perfect! ^^
