KREE-YAH!!
Hello and welcome to my little artsy corner of Flight Rising! First, a little about myself: I'm a God Girl and a Jesus Freak! And you know what?
I am proud of it!!
NEWS UPDATE as of March 2019!
Some of you may have found your way here and thought; "Gee, this thread is dead." And you know what, you're right. It totally was. I've just been so busy, that art is usually the farthest thing I ever think about. It's totally not been fair for those who've been waiting forever, and I get it. All I can say is that I'm very honestly sorry for my lack of attention to this art thread. In light of that, there will be some major revamps coming to this art shop.
One revamp will be the ordering process. When I came up with the current system, it was my sordid attempt to prevent "line-cutting." However, after rereading through my own text wall, there are some places where it still seems muddy and unclear. Not sure at the point what the order process will be, so if anyone has suggestions I will certainly take them into account before I change things.
Another revamp possibility will be to run the shop more along the lines of an adopt shop. Since the full-bodied dragons seem to be my most popular request, I'm wondering if repainting the line-art for a full-bodied dragon would be less stressful for me than coming up with something new all the time. I realize that's kinda what FR already is, and for some if they'd wanted a repaint of the same dragon over and over they wouldn't have come to an art thread... SO! Thus far, that's not set in stone. So don't worry! Just an idea that I've kicked around a time or two when this shop was more active.
Another and probably less popular revamp will be prices. I've been told more than twice, my prices are too low for the work I put into some of these pieces. With the cost of gems being the way they are, and with Glimmer Gloom making treasure so easy to get ahold of, I've decided to look around at some of the other threads and match some of their prices. Because I am so busy, and I do work so slow, I will also be reducing how many pieces/orders I work on at a time. This way I won't feel stressed about finishing them, and they'll hopefully be worth the upcharge.
So, yeah! More info to come whenever I get things sorted out. ^^;
What I Can Draw!
All dragon-types are game. I don't have an example yet for each species, because I've yet to have a need to draw them. The examples I have below were chosen because they seem to be the most popular.
Yes, I will draw characters that are NOT Flight Rising related. Mobians/Sonic-verse for example, are a particular favorite of mine! However, I am horrible at drawing humans. >_< So, none of those gargoyle, tiefling, gajinky things (or whatever they're called) will ever come out of my pencil. Sorry... ^^;
I have the right to decline a commission if a I feel the request is too far outside of my personal boundaries; be that because of my beliefs or current skill level. You may use the art you purchased within the Flight Rising game or as an avatar on other forums. Do NOT sell it as your own, do not put it on t-shirts and resell (this has happened to me with MLP art... u_u ) and please try and keep my art out of those YouTube song videos. (Yes... that's happened before too. >_< ) Also, even though there's no real way for me to stop you, please do not edit off my signature.
Ordering Process:
How it works! :D
If you are interested in ordering art from me, you may PM at ANY TIME to request that your name be added onto the wait list. I don't bite, I promise~ If you would like to remain on this list until you have gotten a turn to order art, please tell me so in your PM. Those of you who state that you would like to remain on the list until you have a piece of art, will get a star (*) next to your name. When I'm ready to open the shop, everyone on this list will get a ping!
I will only work on 5 orders at a time, and require a minimum of 10% down payment at the time of your order to add your name to the work list before I start on any drawings. So when I ping, be sure you know what you want to order! When I say "Slots are open!" please send a CR with the down payment along with a brief description of what the money is for, then fill out the order form and ping it to this thread to get my attention. This should help clear up some of the organization mess. (Because my name seems to be tricky for some odd reason for a few folks to spell/type, when you ping me please copy/paste: @ChakotayDgryphon )
I fill up very fast! If when I sent out pings, all 5 work-slots have been filled before you could get to it, and you don't have a (*) by your name; you will have 24 hours to respond if you want to remain on the wait list. If I don't get a response from you in some way, I will assume you are no longer interested and will clear your name from the list. I hope this is all fair, and makes sense.

Because the Wait List can get rather lengthy, once you've gotten a chance to order art, your name will be removed at the time of your order. You may request at any time to go back on it. If you wish, you also may request to remain on the list as a permanent resident, (I am flattered!) xD Just note that if you've recently ordered art, I'll won't ping you on the immediate next batch, but I will ping you on the batch that follows after. (Make sense, I hope? o.o ) If you are NEW! As in, your are just now finding my thread on the day I sent out pings, I will not accept your order at that time, but will add your name to the Wait List, and you will be pinged with the next round. This is to give others who've already been sitting for awhile a chance for some art.
Important! PLEASE READ!
Please keep in mind, I will only add your name to the worklist when a payment is sent. I've been VERY clear on this. I hate to sound mean, however some folks are choosing not to read, and I'm at a point where I have grown weary of repeating myself. If someone pays before you, they will be put on the work list before you. If you fill out a form, but don't send a payment, (I'm only asking for 10% here :/ ) you will be quietly ignored, and I will NOT add your name to the worklist. Sorry. u_u
I work slow! Part of the reason I only ask for a 10% down payment is because I only draw when I'm in the mood and art is a way for me to relax. Folks who decide to pay me 100% in full up front when they place their order, do so with the knowledge it may take longer than a month to receive their art. I will always try to make a PAID IN FULL order a priority over those who only pay me the 10% hold fee, but if RL is being stupid and giving me a hard time I can't promise I'll have your piece finished in a timely fashion.
Remember, a minimum 10% payment adds your name to the worklist!
Payment:
All prices are listed Per Character with a treasure value, or gem value. Gem to treasure ratio is whatever the current market price is for them. I will edit this information accordingly as it fluctuates.
As of October 9th, 2017 the gem to treasure ratio is 1:850K
My prices are fairly low for what I do, or so I've been told. So they should be easy to save for. However, I do allow payment plans if you feel the need for one. I can also provide preview art upon request via PM before a piece is completed to discuss changes and tweaks that may be applicable.
If there is something special you'd like to order that isn't on the example list, like say, you would like a background added to a character. PM me after you've placed your general order so we can discuss further details and any additional cost!!!
Answers to a few FAQ:
1.) TWO characters in ONE picture is still considered TWO characters2.) ONE character drawn TWICE in two different mediums is ALSO considered TWO characters
3.) Yes, you MAY order more than one piece of art at the time of your order. Just be considerate and please order in moderation... try not to bombard me! lol! xD You can always come back to order more some other time~
4.) I'm someone who is used to drawing "Sonic-themed" characters. So... With apparel. Without apparel. A character is a character. They are all the same to me. I do NOT charge extra for apparel.
Naturally, payment in full on any art is required before I release your picture.
* Tips are not required, but appreciated! If you feel the end product is worth more than what I'm asking for my work, I am truly flattered.... -^_^-

Completed and Awaiting Payment:
Note on any artwork that is NOT paid :
Please don't be one of those people who take advantage of me and make me raise the hold fee for those who sincerely want a piece of my art. I will hold your drawing for 3 weeks after the completion date. After that, I will keep your down payment for my time and effort, then delete the picture file from my image host. I don't like clutter on my computer. It's messy and takes up memory space. So as soon as I upload to my image host, I delete the picture file from my computer. This means once it's gone, it's gone...
You've been gently warned. :(
Because I'm an adult, I do volunteer art for VBS, puppet props, and other things at my church, and I also work 2 jobs to pay for things like Internet, rent, and colored pencils; sometimes I can get very busy on my side of the computer screen... So it may take me a few weeks, or it may even take me a few months to complete a work list. I will keep a notation of my progress on the list, and you may check back here as often as you like. If it comes up that I cannot complete a commission, or you feel as though I am taking too long on a project, I will gladly refund any and all monies to you without hesitation. If there are any further questions, please PM me. If you would like to see what else I do, please visit me on deviant Art!
