Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a non-colored sketch take?
Depending on the level of difficulty, it should take somewhere between 10-45 minutes.
How long does a colored sketch take?
Again, depending on the difficulty, it can take as little time as 10 minutes to sketch and 10 minutes to color [total: 20 minutes, for you math wizzes out there]. Or it can take as much as 45 minutes to sketch and 120 minutes/2 hours to color [total: 165 minutes].
I ordered a non-colored sketch and waited over an hour. How come it's not done yet?
If you know that I'm online and working on your sketch, and I've still taken over an hour to PM you with your finished artwork, then chances are I'm sketching out my other customers' commissions. I'll post the status of your commission next to your username in the
Slots section. When all the commissions' share the status [Waiting To Be Scanned], then you can expect to see your commission soon! Yes, I do scan them all at once, because my scanner is only compatible with a computer in the other room that does not have internet access.
I ordered a non-colored sketch, but I want it colored afterwards. Can I ask you to color it after seeing the non-colored version?
Yes, but it's going to cost an extra 100K gold. Just change the amount of gold your trading to 150k gold [the price of a colored sketch] and I'll work it from there.
Couldn't I just take the commissioned artwork you sent via PM without paying for it?
What an evil thought! Yes, technically, you can just walk away with the artwork I send to you before you confirm your trade, but also note that it'll have a very blunt, unappealing watermark slapped on it. So not only does this action impair your conscience, it impairs the beauty of your would-be avatar artwork.
What's up with the little "ER" inside the circle on my artwork?
This is a small trademark watermark I've placed on all my commissioned artworks [if you didn't see it in the samples] to secure them from art thieves. So even though you paid good gold for your commission, you can't claim it's yours. And if I catch you trying to claim any of my artwork as your own, I'll report you.
What's "тнε gøℓ∂εη ℓі∫†"?
The Golden List is the section you want your username in. It's a list of all the extra-lovely users I've had the pleasure working for. Strong, non-paying supporters may also end up on this list

So "тнε βℓαск ℓі∫†" is...?
You've probably guessed it. It's the list of all "extremely abrasive" users who've caused nothing but trouble. These people have been repeatedly warned not to do whatever inappropriate manner they've previously exhibited in this thread. But not to worry: as long as you're friendly and benign, you won't be placed on this list.
And "тнε ρіηк ℓі∫†" would be...?
The Pink List is where I'm putting all the users/groups who've donated to the shop. If you supply it, I'll put up the group/individual's banner under the list, too! It's kind of like advertising space.
Do you take other commissions besides full-body sketches?
For the time being, no.
Why not?
I can't find the time to do some heavy-duty artwork that takes weeks to complete. Besides, it pretty much defeats my main theme here: quick and beautiful artwork. So unless you can convince me that I'm making a terrible mistake by keeping this policy, that's how I'll operate
