Welcome Wonderful Artists ^o^

Welcome one and all to my art buying thread. Spiffy, yes?

~Guide to the Arts~
First Post: Introduction
Second Post: Characters/Refs
Third Post: Payment Options
Fourth Post: List of Wonderful Artists

~Rules~
No whining. Please. I beg of you D:
I will always want a constant stream of MLP art. If you have proven to me you are a good MLP artist, I may badger you to sell me more art.
If you have a problem with my prices, please discus it with me. Those are just iffy ranges, and they are not concrete. I may pay more, I may pay less, but we will agree on the price before you start the art.
I will pay after you have finished. No exceptions.
If you want, I'll put you in my artist post. That means that if you do art for me, I will reference you here and tell everyone how awesome your art is and to buy things from you. I did that to Secrets probably 5 times, and I'm not sure she knows it xD <333 Anyways, the point is that I'll speak well of your art and help you get more business. Easy-peasy ^o^

Characters/Refs

Ah yes, now we get to the fun part. The things I need you to do arts of :D

MLP
Name: Lillian Rose
Gender: Female
Age: That of the 6 heroins from the new show
Appearance: Lillian has a white coat with a red mane. The mane is composed of three shades of red, ranging from light to blood, and is the same style as that of Rarity's from the new show. Her eyes are normally green, but can change to a teal blue (they match her sister's) [also, though I like and accept them with both eye colors, I prefer green!]
Personality: Lillian is kind, shy, and submissive. She tries to hide herself as best she can and does not try to flaunt the gifts she has, like most would. She has loved flowers and gardening since she was little, and she became so good at it that it was clear that was her destiny even before her cutie mark appeared. Her magic enhances her gardening, and it is one of the few things that makes her truly happy. Another one of those things is her little sister, Crystal.
Cutie Mark: Her cutie mark is a heart. One of the sides is a red rose. The other side is a white lily.
Other: She has a silver circlet with a red gem inlaid that is the exact match of her sister's (excluding the different color gem). She aso has a silver bracelet of swirling metal on her left hoof.
Species: She is a unicorn; her horn is white.

Name: Crystal Earth
Gender: Female
Age: Around that of Apple Bloom from the show
Appearance: She has a tan brown coat and a purple and white mane. The purple is very light, almost lavender. Her mane style is that of Rainbow Dash from the show. Her eyes are the same as her older sister, which are green but can turn a beautiful teal in certain lighting [also, though I like and accept them in both eye colors, I prefer the green!]
Personality: Crystal could not be different than her older sister. She is cute, outgoing, funny, and sarcastic, all adding up to one firecracker of a little pony. She has her sister's good looks and grace, though she hardly uses them. While Crystal is a great, outgoing little pony, she needs all of her assets to make up for her lack of brainpower. She has never been one for books and learning, and she would much rather play sports our go on an adventure than curl up in a library and read a good book.
Throughout her life, she has been plagued by her "talent".  She attracts detects gems, which although most would consider that an extreme blessing, it is most definitely a curse. She has constant headaches and cries whenever is in the presence of many gems, for it overloads her senses.
Cutie Mark: Her Cutie Mark is a purple gen surrounded by a pile of diamonds. It represents not only her talent, but her ability to stand out in a crowd and be proud of herself.
Other: She bears the same circlet as her sister, except the stone in hers is purple, not red. She also has a necklace of the same silver/stone type of her circlet.
Species: Pegasus. Her wind are purple with a few feathers flecked with white

Humanoids

Name: Scathatch
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown, body of a teenager
Appearance: Scathatch has beautiful brown hair that she braids down her back. The brown matches that of her freckles which fill her face. She has pale sin with just a hint of a tan. Her eyes are speaking sparkling blue, and it matches her jewelry and intricate headpiece (see refs). She wears all brown, from brown jeans to a brown shirt, combat boots, and a belt. She has two onyx swords stalled to get back in an x formation. A pair of intricately carved nunchaku are strapped in her belt.
Personality: Scathatch is cool and collected, even in the toughest situations. She is the best warrior in Scottish mythology, and she will not let you forget it. She is a formidable enemy, but an even greater companion. She is funny, sarcastic, and can laugh at herself as well as others, though Her shortcomings are few. She did away with feeding on blood long ago, and now has the first of a normal vegetarian human.
Species: Vampire
Other: She is a princess, daughter if the queen of the wind. She denounced her mother and her birthright though, and will attack any who mention her. She has another form, that of a kitsune (catlike, eight tails, two ears). When she turns into her human form she keeps the tails and ears.

Name: Megan "Meg" Andrews
Gender: Female
Age: Early Twenties
Appearance: Meg is very pale, with dark ebony hair. She is a dragon/human, so she has a black tail and dark, bony wings. Her clothes are gold and white steampunk themed, but are also light and airy to allow her to fly easily. Her eyes are bright green and represent her clan, Wind. She's about 5'9" and is of a slender yet curvy build. White horns stick out of her ebony hair.
Personality: Meg is loyal and fierce, and is never afraid to fight for something she loves. Her heart is fully into anything she does, which can be a blessing and a curse. She trusts a little too much, and can sometimes be pulled into trouble because of this unfailing trust. She is a fighter, and will not give up easily. She prefers hand to hand combat to magic, but is skilled at both.
Species: Dragonkind
Other: Meg's mate is Faygo.
She generally plays with wind magic in her free time, so she almost always has swirling green magic laced through her palms.
The Wind Clan is composed of bards and artists along with warriors, so both Meg and Faygo are gifted in that category.

Name: Faygo Carter
Gender: Male
Age: Early Twenties
Appearance: Faygo is 5'11" and has a slightly muscular build. He is slightly tan, though not overly so. He has orange and dark red wings, which unlike Meg's, are fluffy at the top and then become bony nearer to the bottom. He has two brown horns that poke out of his shaggy blonde hair. His eyes are the same as Meg's, which means he too is a Wind clan. He has a dark red tail to match the bony part of his wings. Generally, he wears a t-shirt, combat boots, and jeans with the same coloration as his wings and tail. He always wears a necklace which looks slightly tribal. It is a beaded string with three skull-like objects hanging down from it.
Personality: Faygo is extremely different from Meg. He is shy, submissive, and extremely cautious with his words and actions. However, they do share a few traits. Meg and Faygo are both smart and loyal, and they're survivors. You could put them through the toughest times, and they'll still come back fighting. Faygo will protect the things and people he loves to the death, which exposes a fiercer side in him. He's especially protective of Meg, although she really doesn't need much protection.
Species: Dragonkind
Other: Faygo's mate is Meg.
He also likes to play with wind magic, but normally in private. Most of the time he's sitting somewhere quiet reading a book or doing some sort of art.
The Wind Clan is composed of bards and artists along with warriors, so both Meg and Faygo are gifted in that category.

Name: Crimson Faye
Gender: Female
Age: Four
Appearance: Crimson is a cute little kid. She has a slightly plump face and rosy cheeks that match her beautiful smile. She generally wears crimson sundresses with the same color flats, and more crimson appears in the bows placed on her dark hair. Two dark brown horns poke out of her hair, but aren't nearly as big as her mum or da's yet. Her leathery wings as a deep Maroon, which contrasts the crimson of her dress and cheeks. Her sparkling green eyes match those of her mother and father. She has been and will be described as the definition of adorable.
Personality: Crimson is shy and sweet. Despite being a Dragonkind, she wouldn't hurt a fly unless the fly hurt her mum or da. Crimson is most definitely the favorite child of Meg and Faygo, and they love her to death. She tries her best to be the perfect little kid, despite being so young. She does her best and tries her hardest at everything she does. the only time she really gets upset is when she comes up short; not because she didn't win, but because she believes that unless she is perfect no one will love her, and it destroys her. She has a much overdeveloped brain for this stage of her life, and she thinks in a way like most 13 year old children would.
Species: Dragonkind
Other: Crimson's mum and da are Faygo and Meg.
Because of the wind clan's uncanny ability for art, Crimson has decided to become a bard when she grows up. She has a lovely voice and wishes to sing the mountains to sleep and toll the raging waters into a beautiful slumber. There are said that some children can hear the song of the wind and interpret, and Crimson shows so much promise that she may be the first in a century to recapture this long lost ability.

~Pairs~

(These are two of my characters together that you can also do)

Names: Lillian and Crystal
Actions: When they're together, Crystal would likely be pulling Lillian around town, or Lillian would be showing Crystal some of the beautiful gardens that she has cultivated. Crystal could also be trying to show Lillian how to play a sport.
Refs: http://i41.tinypic.com/2eow9oj.png

Names: Faygo and Meg
Actions: When they're together, Meg and Faygo are almost always holding hands. Faygo could be showing Meg some of his books, or Meg could be demonstrating some wind magic she practiced for Faygo, because he is much more gifted at magic than she. Meg and Faygo, being from the Wind Clan which is composed of artists and bards along with warriors, also sing and paint (Faygo is the better painter, Meg the better singer), which they do together occasionally.

~Others~

I'm looking for Faygo, Meg, Crimson and Scathatch in there animal forms. I will not do the entire bio over again, but here is the basic stuff.

Name: Scathatch
Appearance: She is a tan and brown kitsune, with the tan mostly on her chest and face and the brown all over the rest of the body. She has the same headpiece and necklace as her human form, and her eyes are the same bright blue.
Species: Kitsune

Name: Faygo Carter
Appearance: Faygo is a rather Fluffy orange and red dragon. He has two brown horns that stick straight up on his head and dark red fluff encircling his head. His wings are the same color as the rest of the red on his body, except near the top there is more orange fluff. He has bright green eyes and a big smile, even in his dragon form. He wears a tribal necklace even in his dragon form, for it symbolizes his background.
Species: Dragonkind

Name: Megan "Meg" Andrews
Appearance: Meg is a white dragon with black wings. She is scaly and has fins that come out of her legs. Her wings are bony and leathery, and there is not a scrap of fur on her. She has steampunk clothing on even in her dragon form, but the most prominent is the steampunk metal that is attatched to her wings, which add stability and just look plain cool. She has too white horns and facial fins that come out of both sides of her face.
Species: Dragonkind

Name: Crimson Faye
Appearance: Crimson is a full red dragon, except for spurts of darker colors on her spikes and horns. She has a crimson (hehehe) body and leathery maroon wings. The fins on her underbelly are more maroon than the crimson of the rest of her body as well. She has two green eyes just like her father and mother. She doesn't wear any clothing in her dragon form, for the crimson of her body morphs into a dress whenever she changes over.
Species: Dragonkind

Payment Options

There are lots of ways that I can pay you. Here are some of the options/prices that I can do ^o^ Prices are 
F-L-E-X-I-B-L-E

~MLP Drawings~

For these I'm looking to pay around 2mil-7mil each, depending on how well you do. Generally I am looking for flat shading, though there are a few exceptions. If you'd like pets or items instead as payment, that can certainly be arranged ^^

~Humanoids~

Humanoids are more difficult to price. I would generally like you to come to me with a price range, not the other way around.Of course, pets and items can still always be arranged.

~Pairs~

Pairs are also difficult to price. Sometimes I will add the price of the two people/ponies/things together so you will get twice of doing them separate, but other times I will pay the normal price of them. Talk to me about it if you are interested in drawing my pairings <3

~Other~

This depends on what you are drawing. We'll get to it when the time comes, I'm sure I can work something out with you ;D

Okay okay so
It's been a little while since I've done MLP art, like maybe a year, but they're fun and I'm sure I could get back into the swing of things. uwu

I draw a slightly more realistic style, while still maintaining an MLP-ish look/proportions, so I hope that's alright with you.

Disclaimer though: I'm not POSITIVE yet that I'll be willing to do a commission, I have a lot on the go, so I'm just wondering how much you'd pay for something like these so I can consider it soon/in the future. :o

If you're interested: Rough estimate? I won't get angry and I don't bite, so don't worry about pitching too low. xD



My friend's Pony OC, Pixelbit.





My girlfriend's Pony OC, Steelchaser.


Drag to a new tab for the full size if necessary. ;w;

I love the style of that first one Dust!!! I'd say a few mil each would be fair, maybe more depending on just how well they're done (so, erm, about 3-7mil?) :3 Of course I can't price things if my life depended on it so you can feel free to counter. And I'm always going to want more art of Crystal and Lillian, so you can come back any time!

Heya Meg! I know I didn't ask permission if I can draw one of your characters but I ended up drawing, lol. Anyway, here's what I came up with. I'm not really an art person so that's why it's kinda like that.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/q71/s720x720/1012769_10201451772602469_387627675_n.jpg

Please download it immediately as I may be deleting the photo in a week or so. As for the payment, it's up to you though. I have been paid 2-5mill for my art. I promise I won't be hurt if you give less, swear, hehehe. Hope you like this.

Aw, she's adorable! It's okay that you did her without asking, but if you ever do draw for me again a little forewarning would be nice <3

I'll send 2mil over for her if that's okay with you c:
