THIS SHOP IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED.

If a mod could please lock it, I'd appreciate it.

I'm very busy with other things right now and just don't have time for this shop anymore - I must apologize to everyone who was still waiting on a request, or waiting on a colored version.

If you're curious, I'm busy with this, and even put my own comic on hiatus for it, so, um, yes. It is that bad.

I'm really sorry.


For posterity, I'll keep the first post as it was before closing:

Hello there!

I'm going to take requests for human/humanoid portraits of pokémon. Mostly, this is a design experiment, and I'm in need of some practice. So, on to the specifics~ Sorry if they sound a little strict, I'm a bit picky when it comes to drawing for other people.

Requests now work on a batch system - meaning, I'll take on a specific number of requests at a time, then close the thread until they're finished, then reopen, rinse and repeat.

Also, I have an ongoing comic featuring pokéjinkas! It also has a counterpart drawn by Sei. Check them out when you can~

REQUESTS ARE CLOSED. AGAIN.
Next Round: queue 5, reserves 20 (25 total, 100 absolute total)

READ THE RULES BEFORE REQUESTING.

SAMPLES

Bulbasaur, as the name states. Female.


Grovyle. bestest pokémon in the whole world Male.

REQUESTING RULES

Queue/Reserves
1. One request per person, 5 people at a time. The queue is first come, first serve - so requests get done in the order they are accepted. When I'm done with something in the queue, I'll fill up the emptied spot with someone from the reserves.
2. When the queue is full, requests that come in afterward will be be put in the reserves - note that I will work on reserved spots in any order I prefer. You may not reserve spots when requests are closed! There are limited reserves. See further below to know how many spots can be reserved - if there are more requests than there are reserves, requests will be randomly selected after the thread closes to fill up reserves, to give everyone a fair chance regardless of what timezone they're in.
3. Once the queue and reserves are full, requests are considered to be closed whether or not I've had the time to update the topic (since I'm not online all the time). Please pay mind to the timestamp on the first post, and other comments made before yours! If you request when both are full, I will have to turn down your request.

What You Can Do With The Sketch
4. Sketches can't be used for anything other than personal enjoyment. No redistributing, selling, making graphics out of them, etc etc. If you'd like, you can use it as an avatar in this forum, but please credit and link back to this thread in your signature.

Drawing Process
5. I may take 15 minutes to make your picture, and I may take forever. Occasional reminders are okay, constant badgering me to finish will just get your request off the queue.
6. Each person gets a sketch, not a finished piece, with sketchy coloring.
7. I might, at my own convenience, add an actual pokémon (not a humanoid one) to the picture for visual/humor effect. You may not specifically request this.

Requesting
8. YOU MUST USE THE FORM BELOW TO REQUEST. I was lenient last time, but not anymore. Requesters that don't use the form will be considered as not having read the rules, and thus their requests will be respectfully denied.
9. ONE pokémon per request, please. I won't draw more than one person/pokémon per sketch, I'm sorry.
10. MAKE A NEW COMMENT with any edits to your request. Chances are I've already read it, and I don't go back to comments I've read before! I'll likely accidentally ignore your edits, and I would rather not.
11. I WILL NOT PM YOU WHEN I'M DONE. Please don't ask me to. I can't PM everyone, and it's in the requester's best interests (and not mine) to check back and see if I've finished their piece.
12. If you've already requested once, you may not request again. This rule may be changed in future batches, but for as long as it's here, it's valid.
13. If I've already drawn that pokémon, of that gender, and of that coloration (shiny/not shiny), I will not take another request for it. Meaning, if the list further down says "Shiny Gardevoir (F)", I will NOT draw another female shiny Gardevoir, but I can draw a non-shiny female Gardevoir, or a male Gardevoir, shiny or not.

If You Don't Read The Rules...
14. Rules work on a two-strikes-out policy. You're allowed to make mistakes once, and I'll gladly correct them. Make another mistake and you can't request a sketch anymore, period. Not in this batch or any batch after that.

IF YOU ASK TO RESERVE A SPOT FOR THE NEXT BATCH, IT'LL BE CONSIDERED BREAKING THE RULES.

REQUEST FORM

Pokémon: The Pokémon you'd like me to draw.
Gender: Their gender!
Specifics: Anything specific about the picture you'd like, say so here. If you leave this section out, I'll just design whatever comes to mind. Example: specify hair length, clothing, et cetera.

Here's some copypasta for you:

CODE

[b]Pokémon:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Specifics:[/b]

Remember requests that don't follow this form will be ignored. I don't mind it if it lacks the bolding and/or caps, but the field markers (blahblah:) have to be there.

ETC

All requests drawn and colored on Paint Tool SAI.

2. Fuji (page 41)
3. Xem (page 42)
4. Emma Uchiha (page 42)
5. Lady Entei - Shiny Ponyta (F); cute like Shaymin Land Forme. Just a look that says "I'm so innocent~"

(note: I use a randomizer to pick which of these to add to the queue 95% of the time.)

Now you guys got me all paranoid, and I'm refreshing now. >>;

@Sad love song: Who's the guy in your sig? Just seeing him makes me want to watch/read whatever he's in.

yayyyy, he's awesome, isn't he? xDD
his name's Sebastian Michaelis. from Kuroshitsuji.

XD Yes. He looks amazing.

>>;

Sorry, done spamming the topic now.

i know! =D
yeah, i'mma stop, too.

it's just. waiting is more fun when you're hyper/ talking. xD

XDD

@ Sad - I've had the same question but I just keep forgetting whenever I see you. XD

haha, now you know.

[Latias117]

Doods. I'm so hyper. I can't wait. I've only stalked one post though. My request is ready to be pasted.





EDIT: Oops. I shouldn't spam.

[Dragoness Amoret...]

Oh, my goodness.
I haven't posted in a while, but all of the art that you've submitted since my latest addition to this thread has been utterly phenomenal. I especially like Scyther!
Although, Charizard and Sharpedo are, how shall we put this, too funny for words. xD

*glances at the mass of people reading the topic and then prepares her pokeballs for the assault*
I believe the word 'meep' fits in about here. o_o;

((By the way, in the first rule it states 'One request per person'. I am a bit confused--does this indicate one request for a single individual per request line-up or one request per person in general?
*in the event of the former, has her request in copy/paste mode as well* ))

[Marquis de Lafay...]

That's what I was wondering, Amoreth.
I think it's the former, one at a time.

If not, We're both screwed.

[DoggyEars]

Ahahaha Sharpedo is amazing XD He's all like "What? I'm trying to eat, here."

And, oh my. Poor Shirogane. FLEE WHILE YOU STILL CAN. ... AND TAKE SOME COOKIES WITH YOU!

I'm betting, though, she'll wait until tomorrow to put up the last one. and then hides

[Darksparce DLG]

@Layton:You guys are if it happens to be like that.
But the rest of us (the ones who have been waiting for requests to come back) have a better chance of getting a request.

And that Sharpedo is too funny

[Different Turret]

i dont know if youve got 3 requests or not so ill just ask

can i have a male rhydon please

can i have it with short, black hair and spiked on the back of the head
can it be grinning and please don't make the horn its nose (its not pinnochio ^_^ )
but other thhan that its up to you what you do with the horn

and standing in the same way as cyndaquil

You're lucky I actually noticed the edit before I started drawing! Please make new comments for changes, since I don't exactly check older posts.

If it doesn't look much like Rhydon, it's mostly because the pose requirement made it a little difficult. D|;;


AND DONE!

Now...

ATTENSHUN PLZ

Requests are NOT open yet. I'm rewriting some of the rules first - READ THEM. They'll be open as soon as I comment here saying so. Please be patient until then, I have some things I need to get done first.

[Marquis de Lafay...]

I mean, it's alright if she does my request last, if she wants (because we already got one).
But, I at least want to be on the reserves.

[Dragoness Amoret...]

*prods the Honchkrow in the nose*
Touche. Eh, but I am happy either way--My Dragonair was more than enough for me! I adore her.
My next request is to more or less see what she comes up with. Shirogane's art and creativity are inspirational!

(Eehee, I just got to the shorts quote in my re-started game~ I love that picture so much.)

Edit::
*stalks the first page for the edits*
Welcome back, Shirogane! Ooh, Rhydon looks amazing! I love the pose and expression. <3

[Unbridled]

*Begins to giggle uncontrollably*
I knew it!

[HanaChatte]

You finished!

Now I just stalk and wait...
Oh, I haves a question...
What do you do if someone's requested the Pokemon you want, but it's different than the one you want?

[Sakubo]

XDDD that made my day. XDD

[xMonokuro Rose]

at least it wasn't, "wait 'til the next night, guaranteed!" xD

This post has been edited by sad love song: Jun 10 2009, 05:08 PM

[Marquis de Lafay...]

XD yes.

And I wait for the rulez. :>

I liek the Rhydon. ;D

[Latias117]

I don't get it. Were will the rules be posted. Here on page 16 or on the first page??

[Trainer Gwyn]

*tumbles in* Ah, looks like I'm here just in time. And I know what I want. No waffling anymore.

[HanaChatte]

@Layton-

Have you ever read the book "The Secret War" ?
It might have an s at the end, I forget.

[Kura]

But waffles are delicious.

[Trainer Gwyn]

I will agree with that, Kura, waffles are very delicious. Especially when they're made with fresh batter and chocolate chips...

But I digress. Anyway, great work Shirogane! I don't mind waiting the extra time to give your wrist some rest if you want to hold off on opening slots.

[DoggyEars]

Oh dear. Requests aren't going to fill up in a day or two. They're going to fill up in about five minutes o.o

Still lovin' your work, though, Shirogane! You get a cookie for your efforts ^__^ ( maybe two XP )
