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.)

Pokémon: Darkrai
Gender: Male <please and thank you 8D >
Specifics: at your own accord.


I havent seen too many people drawing using OpenCanvas besides yours truly. O_O By the way, before I ask anything further, which version are you using? I'm using OpenCanvas v4.03.

[DoggyEars]

Your work is beautiful I would like to humbly make a request.

Pokémon: Entei
Gender: Female, please
Specifics: I would like the hair to be relatively long, if that works. If not, please just do whatever looks good~

And one question: You said that the sketches would not be colored (which is quite fine with me). May I color the sketch myself, when you are finished?

4.06! I love OpenCanvas for quick things. It's light and fast, and I love the brushes.

I'll be adding yours and Doggyears' requests to the queue! Will start working on them shortly.

@Doggyears: Many thanks for the compliment. :)

[TyrHalzen]

hmm... think 4.03 can handle 4.06 .oci files? I'd love the event file in addition to the jpg =D

And yes, muchlove to OpenCanvas. I tried out version 3 and fell in love with it. Friend tried to make me use Photoshop but I just dont understand how that bloody thing works so i'm sticking with OpenCanvas all the way xD

Hope to see your work soon

[Different Turret]

hmm... think 4.03 can handle 4.06 .oci files? I'd love the event file in addition to the jpg =D

It probably does, since the event file is .oe4. I've saved the event file instead of the .oci, I hope that's all right!

Here's your picture:

I hope you like it. :>

No no, I said the sketch will be sketchily colored. XD But if you'd like it to be B&W, please let me know?


And I've added your request, xXseleneXx!

@LittleDreamer Glad you liked it!

Oh no, if you are going to, then please ignore me XD I'm sure your coloring skillz out-pace mine by far

[xXseleneXx]

*is very excited*
Thank you very much

[Evren Vale]

Pokémon: Sneasel
Gender: Male
Specifics: However you do the hair, probably bluish hair, I would see shortish blue hair, somewhat like the length of the character that is my avatar. I guess there would also be a longer red streak on the front or back. And, if you can do it, I would like him to appear aloof.

[Different Turret]

Finished yours, Doggyears!

I've added your request, Elysian Sable! Though I'll work on it and the Phione request tomorrow, for it is bedtime for me. Good night, everyone!

Any requests below this post will be tended to when I wake. :>

[DoggyEars]

Thank you so much! It's beautiful <3 And so completely epic ^___^

You're a wonderful artist~

Oh, one last thing ^^; Am I allowed to use this as an aviatar? with credit and a link back to you, of course.

If you would like to, I don't mind.

[Evren Vale]

Wow, this stuff is great. I look forward to the results eagerly.

[DoggyEars]

Thank you for the compliment!

If you would like to, I don't mind.

You probably think I'm some kind of spaz, but I just can't get over your work. You use such soft colors~ *loves pastel colors* And thank you , again!

[IN54N3G3N1U5]

Your. art. is. epic.
Pokémon: Duskull
Gender: Male
Specifics: Looks a little childish, has white hair and is wearing the mask on the side of his head, as to not cover the face.

[Different Turret]

Thank you all dearly for the compliments!

I've added Nintendoowned's request, so from now on anything gets a spot reserved (until there's a spot available, that is).

I need to get around to doing clickbacks in my party, but I'll get to everyone's requests soon. Thanks for the support!
