[Different Turret]

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:

[Zelkova]

Pokémon: Charmander
Gender: Male
Specifics: I want a child and full body please. I don't care if he sitting or standing or whatever. I want him to wear something RPG-ish like a robe or something a mage would wear. Keep or lose the tail (you could always add a magical staff and be creative with it) I want a pure looking child mage basically that shout the thought of "Charmander" and yet when I say pure, I kinda want a sweet healing looking thought to him also. So a soft face and clam looking hair would be nice.

Sorry if I asking for too much but I don't want you to do something that I would not want. :P As long you make the robes baggy, you can basically do whatever on the outfit as you want.

Remember that Scyther that you done? :P I pretty sure you can do this after seeing that.

[Different Turret]

Some questions I missed in the sea of comments...

((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* ))

One per person per batch, as the new rules should have clarified!For future batches' sake, though: the more sketches a person's gotten, the less priority they'll have.

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?

If you mean you'd like to request one that's already been requested, that's totally fine. Just make it so that there's at least SOME difference between the one that's already done/requested and yours.


@Everyone
Ahhh I wish I could reply to you all individually rofl. iluguise. This thread makes me smile, even if it leaves me up to my eyes in requests, haha.

[Zelkova]

Yea, I saw someone already requested a Charmander but I wanted my more "special". I was kinda hoping you would not mind redoing the same Pokemon.

Also I not in a hurry, feel free to put me on the bottom of your list. I just glad I got my request in.

[Jackii]

This thread makes me smile, even if it leaves me up to my eyes in requests, haha.

I think I can help you there. *erases head, makes neck longer with magic pencil and then replaces head*
Up to your shoulders now. Enjoy being five inches taller.

[Darksparce DLG]

Dohohoho

You clever Viridian you.

[Geoffrey]

Actually, I will be a jerk and make you do more work.

Pokémon: Typhlosion
Gender: Male.
Specifics: Caucasian, wearing a jacket, which should be blue, and his neck flame can be like fur on the coat. Hair length shouldn't be long, or too short. Also, he's in his late teens - early twenties. Finally, he has a proud, brave, and slightly cocky look on his face. (I've heard you have FE10, so think Geoffrey; only as a Typhlosion for the facial look and hair length/style. I can provide his image if you'd like.)

XD Yay Geoffrey requested a Typhlosion! Now all that's needed is for someone to request a Quilava.

[Sakubo]

Well, at least things have slown down a bit. all the tension has been lifted. XDD and there isn't 20 people viewing anymore. XDD

[aiadonyx]

Some of these pokemon turn out to be very sexy people.

[MiniShimi]

I hope it is not too late.

I had a hard time choosing, but here goes:

Pokémon: Articuno
Gender: Female
Specifics: A prideful young woman, a majestic ice queen (minus the evil). She has long wavy hair (waist length) with a lot of confidence about her; mainly blue color themes.

=^.^=

[lie]

ohh may I go on queue?? If so , this is my form:

Pokémon: Rattata
Gender: Female ( Caucasian)
Specifics: none, just let your creativity take over. ( age: just not a kid, like 19+)

[HanaChatte]

Well, at least things have slown down a bit. all the tension has been lifted. XDD and there isn't 20 people viewing anymore. XDD

Yup. There's only ten or so.

[Kane]

I guess i will be in the queue.


Pokemon:Poocheayna

Gender:Male

Specifics:like a kid maybe 10 years old, energetic and happy. from then on go for it! Have fun!

[aiadonyx]

Pokémon: Raichu
Gender: male
Specifics: gloomy, brooding.

[Different Turret]

Given that there's a number of other people I know were stalking, and MiniShimi's request would close them after only 2 and a half hours, I'll leave them open until the 24 hours expire, and then randomly select the last 3 (using a number randomizer) from the requests that come in until then.

Others may or may not get pushed to the next batch, depends on how many come in.

Edit: I will make an exception in this case and PM the people that get added to the queue, as well as those that do not.

Wow. Just wow. Not even a month into opening this shop and you already got 400 posts. Your drawing skills are just too hard to resist! I do have a question, though. If these are just "sketches", then how good would a finished drawing be?

[Runi]

Would you mind if i made a request? Or am i swamping you just like the others...0.0;

Pokémon: Vaporeon
Gender: Female
Specifics: Giving a peace sign (you can tweak this however you want), a relaxed smile, preferably short bangs with longer hair in the back. If possible, no older than 17.

If you don't get to this, i understand xD
You're work is really good for sketches! I would really like to see other peices you do as well, because i"m sure that they're probably mideblowing as well.

Great job already, and hope you don't overload from requests!

[personisheretoda...]
