[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:

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~"

RESERVES (3/20)
(note: I use a randomizer to pick which of these to add to the queue 95% of the time.)

[Dark Mode] Arceus (M); radiating dark energy, and to be determined, if not slightly ticked off looking. Maybe reference his attack Judgment. The hair can be black or a mixture of white and black. And a jacket.

AWWWWWWWW @ the Ampharos one.
I'm seriously in awe of your artwork! You're really talented, and your pokepeople interpretations are really creative too.

[Rinku]

Pokémon: Shiny Gallade
Gender: Male
Specifics: Hair kinda styled like the hero in Persona 3 (*points at avatar*), elegant pose with somewhat of a "protective/fighting" style to it, early twenties look about him, mature looking as well.

I must say.. your art is so great to look at.

[Dragoness Amoret...]

Oh my goodness! Your art is astounding! The way you capture a pokemon's personality is just.. augh, breathtaking. And this is what you call practice?!

If you happen to have another reservation slot available, I'd like to be considered!

Pokémon: Dragonair
Gender: Female
Specifics: Regal/elegant motif, with the defining feature of emerald green eyes and perhaps wearing a corset matching Dragonair's color scheme.

Good luck with your shelter-stalking, and enjoy your repose!

Hope you don't mind-- may I have a reserve spot, pleeease?

Added all new requests. Thank you yet again for the support, everyone!

[Marquis de Lafay...]

Pokémon: Honchkrow
Gender: Male
Specifics: He looks a bit on the insane, I'm-going-to-kill-you-now-whilst-laughing-evilly side. He has straight hair that falls in his eyes (which are red), and he does wear a Fedora.

One insane Honchkrow coming right up!

@requesters: adding everyone to the reserves! And thanks again for all the compliments!

@Boke: USB tablet, an old, ooooold Graphire.

@terminoob: It's something I've been sporadically doing since I was very little! I don't draw as much these days, so I'm a bit out of practice, hence why I decided to open requests up.

Holyfurkincrap. He looks amazing! <3 I love it so much! <3!!
I can't even express my gratitude.
And, yes, I'm going to use it for my avatar, if you don't mind~! Of course, I'll link back.

@Boke: Also, Wacom's are expensive. For a beginner, I recommend not getting a Wacom. I use a Tooya Pro (which are cheaper, and slimer ). But, if you insist on Wacom, I'd try the Bamboo or BambooFun. <3
