~ J'S ART SHOP [PICK-UP: Kailah][ONLY RLC OPEN][LIVE-STREAM: OFF]

[UtopiaJ]

Me please!

And you can add me as a RLC on here if you'd like. I can't wait to show mine off when it's finished so, yeah....LOL.

Done and sure! I should get to yours after finishing Kairi's (so close >_<) I can post them in this thread, if that's ok?

 

[Hyoshido]

I totally understand the cosmetics obsession... I used to be addicted to Guild Wars 2 until it got kinda boring. But my character is still super fabulous... lol.

Also yeah I decided to make my story accessible to wider audiences. Then shippers can have their fun with what ifs. (its like my dream goal to create something fans go nuts over and make their own super crazy ships XD, is that weird?)

Too damn addicting 8'( I was very stupid and only brought stress onto my mother since she kept telling me stop and I just ignored ;_;

Oh nice! I hope that it'll go really well for you and start a great fanbase :> and naw, I don't think it's weird to see if people will ship your characters!

Also tfw I'm probably never gonna get a slot here but eh, what can I do about that? :U

 

[ATotsSpot]

Yeah, that will be fine.

Good to know I'm not alone! Haha! Also you never know, Once I'm done with the current ones, I'll be opening up some slots again. Feels great to paint stuff on the side. Working ONLY on my current book series can get SO tedious....

Also here's a preview of Kairi's piece in-progress. As you can see, still got some stuff left to render;

 

[gnoixaim]

Ooooh, could you link some of the children's books you were apart of ? It'd be awesome to see : ))

 

[MC4pros]

omg, Kairi's OCs looks amazing~ *_* I'm excited to see the finished piece! : )

Unfortunately nothing has been released yet I'm still new at the agency and I was an art teacher before my current job. The publishing world can be pretty slow.

Though by June, they will be available to order online hopefully! I'll definitely link the publisher's website as soon as its done! Its mostly sticker/activity books.

 

[ATotsSpot]

That is GORGEOUS. Wow.

 

[Hyoshido]

Also you never know, Once I'm done with the current ones, I'll be opening up some slots again.

Believe me, I ALWAYS get rushed out, it's like a living curse! D':
I seriously wouldn't be surprised if someone on your current slots were to order again after you're open again lmao.

Hmmm maybe I should allow reservations? Dunno what the best slot system would be. :/

Ah, okay. Either way, please post so we can awe at your work : ) And wow, how long have you been working in this book anyways ?

Maybe not make it first come, first serve - and you can choose the 3 you'd like? Or do a round for people that haven't gotten a slot and change it again for the next round (if you open again, that is)

 

[Hyoshido]

Yeah, Pick and choose would probably make people feel much better instead of first come first served.
Even though you'll probably be more interested in drawing OC's instead of already existing characters huh?

Will do! I might post my portfolio website at some point, just been protective of my identity I guess. I really should get a pseudonym, haha. Been working on this series for half a year now. So can't waiting for publishing! Though I'm sure 80% of sales will probably be my mom buying most of the stock XD

Yeah I see what you two mean. I think it was good to START with first come/first serve. But now I can do a rotation system. Like give people who haven't ordered a chance to put in a request form. RLC will always be open to anyone but I think BTB should be a rotation so everyone who wants a commission can get a chance. What do you guys think?

Also I love fanart, its kinda how I started. So anything is fine really. (within reason lol)

Also I don't necessarily like picking and choosing because its good to challenge myself to paint something I normally wouldn't.

 

[Hyoshido]

I dunno what else to suggest, the pick and choose is a good option, I guess just pick ones that may give you a challenge? I dunno if that goes down as fair though :/

Heck, the character I'd probably ask you to do would bend your style a little since I'd ask you to draw them and keep some specific features.

I took a peek at your request thread and honestly I'd be happy to paint any of those. I like going outside my comfort zone because its a great way to learn and improve. For example I could use practice drawing male characters.

I wanna clarify the rotation system I have in mind too. Like someone can't order back-to-back and I'd prioritize slots for people who haven't gotten a commission yet. Would that be ok?

 

[Hyoshido]

Heh! depends who I ask for, if it's Ness or Lucas, I'd pretty much ask you to bend your usual proportions and make something with a big head, little/no neck and have beady little eyes instead of the usual eye styles you've got going on, if that would be a problem though, I'd move to something that doesn't bend the rules!

Yeaaah, I think that idea would work especially well, some artists don't really consider others because they're gettin' cash and junk.
By the way, if you were thinking of a good time to stream, roughly now would be a perfect time for the US members.

 

[ATotsSpot]

I think BTB should be a rotation....that's an excellent idea.

(As long as it doesn't include RLC....lol....I'm already planning my next one. )

I used to do mostly realistic stuff you know :O so I like trying new styles to keep flexible. This Disney-ish style is just my most "marketable" if that makes sense. Gotta look into streaming again.

Haha no problem. RLC will always be open to anyone, since it will be in less demand anyway. So I've decided to do a rotation system to let everyone who wants a commission to have a fair chance to get one.

Oh my, I never would've known till now ;3; I bet they looked ace! I guess it'd be worth a mention then whenever slots are open next!
And I know what you mean, and you should! I just hope people would want to watch this time!
