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.)

[LucarioandDialga]

can i request???

Pokémon: Lucario
Gender: A girl
Specifics: looking at a rose that is blue, looking at it as if in love, hair to her shoulders, witha dress just above the kness....you can pm me about my request...when you accept it and when you finished it

[Different Turret]

Requests are closed, sorry.

Which means strike for Darkus Haos Gaara and LucarioandDiagla.

Edit: And I noticed you asked me to PM you - that's also against the rules. If I were to PM everyone that requests, I'd go crazy, and they would not let me draw pokejinkas in an asylum. It'd be terrible.

Congrats on the new way. It looks just as nice and i'm glad that now you have more time that can spend NOT on this tread-seriously, take a break! Your art is really good (:



Edit: That's some major rule breakage over thar

[xMonokuro Rose]

I fell in love with the Shiny Umbreon one...

[Profe]

I would expect you to Ms. Umbreon lady =)

[Icicle]

....yum. Shiro.. you draw boys to be so darn yummy <3

I like the new line art style.. very bold.. yet subtle, very nice *thumbs up*

[SilverLynx]

So many pretty pics since I was on last! I hope your life clears up soon, Shiro!

[PokeTrainer Miri]

*is still stalking* -w-
So many new and amazing pictures!! I love how your artwork goes from funny to serious in such a natural flow that I barely noticed <3
Oh my... Many people skip reading rules, huh? ^^'

[Shutter Blues]

That Umbreon is awesome. Love all your art, can't wait till you open up again.
Good luck with sorting life out and all that jazz though, of course that comes first.

[veggievampire]

She broke three rules oO; Posting when closed, asking Shiro to PM her and requesting a pokemon already drawn... Wow OO

[xMonokuro Rose]

@ xGVx: xD I guess you're right.

@ Icicle: Dude, I so agree. Yummy males~. xD

[JustinIsPikachu]

[Trainer Gwyn]

Edit: What shiro said. xD

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!

Finished!

[Nickle4aPickle]

I'm really confused, Shirogane. You accepted my request, AND this one, even though we both requested female, non-shiny Vaporeon. Is mine not going to be done now since this one was completed first?

[Sapphire Gardevo...]

i did read the 1st post and it said there was like 16/20 reservers or something so i thought there was room for more in the reserves bit >.>

When the queue is full, requests that come in afterward will be be put in the reserves

[AZ2612]

Oh, I love the new one. It's amazing, and I've always liked Vaporeon!

o///o
She looks amazing! Thank you so much!
But i am confused about my request and Nickle's, because we did end up requesting the same thing...



EDIT: Darkus, it's kind of obvious that you didn't read the first post properly because even then, you broke two more rules :|
I'm not really sure what 'closed' means to you as well...xD

@Nickle & Runi

Runi's request was made quite a ways back, and wasn't actually finished when the new rule came into effect, so it's a... special case. Actually, all the comments that got pushed were special cases, since they were made before the rule, but weren't actually worked on. So don't worry, Nickle, you're still getting your request.

@Darkus

Yes, because I am emptying reserves as I finish requests. You just forgot to read the part where it states you can't reserve spots when requests are closed.

Either you skimmed, or didn't pay enough attention.

And if you're going to quote, read the whole thing:

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!
