Just decided to throw it out there in case anyone ever feels like asking or is just curious o: It's always fun to have something new to do so why not o.o

I am not much of an expert on this commission thing but I'll try to give a few pointers / game rules if you want to call it that way. Note that this might be edited in the future, but for now it will remain this way. If any changes are done to prices, rules or anything else I will make sure to let it be known.

Before asking for a commission keep in mind that these are sketch commissions, no digital work. I use a pencil, not a tablet (I got none) All work will be done on paper, scanned and promptly cleaned as best as I can with Paint.NET since it's all I have, aside from V1.1 of Open Canvas. If this is alright with you and a sketch was what you wanted then feel free to keep on reading, if you were interested on digital work (drawn and colored in Photoshop or something), it could possibly be available in the future but, sadly I cannot provide it right now Also, if you see that your commission still isn't up, don't worry, it will be, real life is a bish and anything can happen that can get in the way of me working on your request and I also like to have things well done (unless it's a crappy quick doodle for myself XP ) Please be patient and bear with me, if anything happens that could delay your request for long, (e.g. scanner or laptop died, internet issues, I fell down the stairs and broke my right arm -no plz - ) I will make sure to note you as soon as I can and refund you if I have (in the wild case of the random broken arm) absolutely no way of completing the sketch. Make sure to note me if you want the sketch to be available only to you (e-mail) or if/and you would like to have it posted in my gallery.

So now, more details, less of me talking random stuff

Possible Q's & A's
---------------------


Q: What do you accept?

A: I'd love to say just about anything but seeing as I am not as skilled as I would like to be I have to stay away from some things unless you want to end up with a drawing that looks like anything but what it was supposed to be So here it is...

Can do: ( )

--Fanart (anime, games, etc) -no hentai, ecchi or gory stuff -I don't think I
can actually make gore look like gore O-o; )

-Note: Please go easy on the Shoujo and Shounen-ai, I got nothing against
it but I got no experience whatsoever with that sort of drawing
since it's not really my coup of tea. I can draw couples in every
day situations for example but, as mentioned above, nothing
ecchi or hentai. The internet breathes hentai; I'm pretty sure
you'll find pictures of your favorite characters if you browse
a little Also, try to be a little specific, I need to know
from what anime or game is (insert name of character here);
unless it's pretty obvious (Usagi, Naruto, Ichigo, Goku, Cloud,
Axel, Laharl etc.)


--Original (I don't post my originals but I would gladly draw your original
character(s) :3 )

-Note: I like to draw characters as accurate as possible so if you want me
to draw your OC(s) please make sure to send me the
appropriate reference or a link to any images you have that
could be useful. A short description of the character's personality
would also be welcomed, not required, but sometimes it proves useful.
Not that I end up drawing a character who is supposed to be looking
pissed 24/7, with a smile that's as wide and shiny as Sora's o-o;
If you have any reference that isn't uploaded somewhere on the
internet, you can feel free to mail it to Sakura-Pumpkin@hotmail.com
Also, your characters belong to you, not to me, I only own the art
and I will link back to your DA gallery when I upload the commission :3


--Gaia Avis (Though I do not use it myself, I really like the avis so feel
free to ask for it, maybe this goes along with fanart but well o-o;

-Note: Almost the same guidelines regarding reference as with Originals,
at least with personality part if you RP (role play) with it.
A link or anything you have showing your Gaia Avatar and all it
is wearing or you would like to have it wear (those dream avi
things)IS indeed a must if you want your commission to look
as accurate as possible. Again, I like to draw accurate
looking characters so please take note of this.


Can't do: (lack of skill or just me being a weirdo D: )


--Animals (if my life depended on drawing animals I would surely be dead by now
) -Dragons, dinosaurs and any other random beasty or mythical thing
included - Only exception seem to be hamsters [link]

--Wrinkled / Aged looking characters (this is something I still need to get
some practice on so I will keep it in the list of can't do's until I
can actually feel like I can work with it)

--Anthro (same reason as above and also I'd like to say I love anthro chars and
I really wouldn't want to see your character die in my hands because of my
fail skills with drawing animals D: )

--Cars, Mecha, Guns (could probably draw one but with reference) Tanks
...or basically anything with 2 or more wheels that isn't a skateboard
or skates )

--Armor (please people, no super-duper-mega-awesome-ultra-leet-armor-of-doom
my hand wouldn't survive the trial and my brain would die at the thought OTL )

--Backgrounds? (basically same reason as with animals, I can give it a try
but don't expect anything epic, I'm scared of backgrounds lol )

---Can and Can't Do's can change with time, send me a not if you have any questions ---

---

Q: In which style will you draw it?

A: Just my style(which is something in-between realistic and anime/manga), it's
better for me this way and I am really comfortable with it. I hope this
doesn't prove to be inconvenient. For samples of my art / style, just
look around my gallery ;3

---

Q: How much will this cost me?

A: The long awaited answer is finally here! (All costs are based on one
character; costs for additional character are half the original price -the price
of one character in the type/size of sketch that you want-, you will find it
written next to each price) Updated samples for each type will be posted as soon
as I can o:

-Chibis: $2 ( Additional chibi 1$) -got different styles for these- [link]
-Head Shot/Bust: $3 ( Additional character $1.50) [link] and [link]
-Knee Up: $5 (Additional character $2.50) [link] and [link]
-Full Body: $7 (Additional character $3.50) [link]

---

Q: Which form of payment do you accept?

A: Please use Pay Pal and make the payment in USD I think it's rather easy and
fast so I'll just go with it. The email to be used would be this
Sakura-Pumpkin@hotmail.com

---

Q: Why not colored? D:

A: I lack the tools (got no tablet as I mentioned at the beginning and
no PhotoShop either) and I never actually had the chance to practice enough
with the program to be able to do something kinda decent

---

As a last note I guess I only have to say, be specific with what you want and don't make it something too difficult so you can actually have your drawing

These are just the basic things I can think of and as I stated at the beginning of the journal, this might be edited in the future :3 . If you got any other questions send me a note
