[X] My Assistant

[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~"

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

[Kura]

I am under the assumption that if I stalk this thread long enough, I may someday be able to catch you unawares while request are open.

It's an ongoing process.

[Jypsom]

Shirogane, you're being humble again.
there is nothing wrong with the position of the scyther in my opinion. All i can see is your picture of awesomeness.
i'll go put that on my siggy now! I'll be lurking still on this thread, peering at your new amazing art.
XD

Lulz, I just noticed another mistake in the picture. The scythe on the back went over her hair when it could not have. |D; I FIXED IT AGAIN.

Looks like I may be able to reopen tomorrow night after all! Only 5 more to go >_>

you are amazing! i didnt even notice that hair scythe thing.... thanks anyways!
you are going to be mauled by all these thread stalkers when you reopen this thing, you know.

[Different Turret]

I love your artwork. They're absolutely beautiful.

Pokémon: Raichu
Gender: Female
Specifics: Just make there facial expression Cocky, please and thank you.

Finished!

@Jypsom

Please bury my pieces and leave flowers at my grave. :(




Last one tonight. Should be done with everything tomorrow, finally!

[DoggyEars]

Ahaha! Raichu has that "You wish you had this" look. I love it XD

And good job, Shriogane, you're so close! We'll have to set up a barricade so you can't be mauled XD

I don't remeber if you said, or not. But, it would be a good idea to take no more than the three at a time. No more reserves

[Icicle]

Oh wow.. all the new stuff. Thumbs up

I love Raichu.. she looks so badass and all "...cross me and I'll shock you "

[Different Turret]

I don't remeber if you said, or not. But, it would be a good idea to take no more than the three at a time. No more reserves >.<

I'd do that, except then I'd be screwing over people who can't be online when I am... and I wouldn't want that. D|

Though I have plans to take 15 total (3+12 reserves), then 25, then another 25, we'll see how that goes.

[Willis]

Pokémon: Ursaring
Gender: Male
Specifics: Take as many liberties as you want. The only thing that I would like is a facail Expression that is somewhat Cocky, yet proud. If that made any sense xP.

I know you have a full queue at the moment, I just wanna get a reserved spot.

Done!

Sorry if it doesn't look as arrogant as requested D| I only noticed the word "cocky" after I was already done, so I mostly gave him a "silent proud" face, um.


@Jypsom

I don't know whether to be flattered or terrified, lmfao.

Also, I've made some adjustments to Scyther (the scythe, namely) to make it a LITTLE less awkward (it's still not perfect, but). Just hard refresh the image (ctrl+F5)! I noticed you've already put it as your avatar, so if you'd like to update it, feel free.

And the credit is fine... XD

Believe it or not, that is what I actually had in mind xP. you did fantastic Shiro. If I had photoshop, I would make you a banner for your lil thing. I might get it back just for that.

[Jypsom]

oo loving the Raichu, nice cocky expression!
<3

[DoggyEars]

I see. That actually works much better XD

You're so nice, Shirogane~

I love the Ursaring. It has almost a Native American vibe to it.

[FrostBark]

Your art i.... very ...very awe inspiring. Can't wait to request.

[Willis]

Hey Shiro, by watch the .oci, you mean watch you draw it?

If thats the case, then I am interested xP.

[Different Turret]

If thats the case, then I am interested xP.

Yes, though you need OpenCanvas 4.0+ to watch it. :O

Still, good art.
