Update: 4/1/2016:


THIS IS AN UPDATE FROM MY IPOD. No, this is not an April Fool's joke, haha. Although I wish it was.
I am having technical issues with my computer, and it's currently in for repairs! The hard drive I store my art files on has been removed so if my Operating System needs to be reinstalled, that hard drive wont be formatted and the files will be safe. It may take a few days to figure out what's wrong with it as I'd like to find a proper fix rather than have to reinstall Windows, so art will be put on pause until it's back up and running.

Thank you for your patience!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone!

I'm sure a lot of you who are super active in the art forums have probably seen my frequent art auctions, and some of you might even remember my old art shop. Well, I'm essentially opening that again! Only in this shop, I will currently only be offering one type of art: My flat coloured drawings!

These are great because they're very quick to draw up, so you wont be waiting weeks or months to have an art piece delivered. They also make great profile or banner graphics since they're always made to be transparent unless it's requested that they're not!

Now a lot of you mentioned that you really wanted a piece of my art, but my flat sale prices were a bit too high for you, or the auctions bidding would get too high. Well, lucky for you, I've decided to work out a new pricing system! The price will change depending on the complexity of the character, meaning characters that have simpler designs with flat base colours and few to no markings will cost much less than a character with a lot of gradiented patterning and complex markings.

Here are a few examples of each type along with the estimated cost of each. Please note that prices may fluctuate depending on each individual character~

Conversion Rate:

1GB = 1100SB
1GB = $0.50 USD (though prices will usually be rounded up, as Paypal charges tax on sales)

I also accept some Event, breeding, or mutant breeding items, but never decor (unless it's custom [and you're its original creator], but I'm still picky with those.)

The only lions I'll look at are mutants or lions with Rosette marks, and they will be priced according to how useful they are to me personally (Mutation rarity, other markings, stats, age [really important!!])

Tags: ~5GB, $3 USD

(***I don't bother to watermark these, since they're very small. However, you do NOT have permission to claim you made these yourselves! So please respect my work and give me proper credit should someone ask where your tag came from.)

Simple Character: ~10-15GB, $5-$8 USD
(click to see full sized images)
lioden_commission__katze_by_zephyrdarksntye_by_zephyrdarksnake-d9sxqjz.png (these would cost 10GB)
lioden_commission__alnitak_by_zephyrdarklioden_commission__leopon_by_zephyrdarks (these would cost 15GB)

Complex Character: ~20-25GB, $10-$13 USD

lucifer_by_zephyrdarksnake-d9tlaqm.pngxarxes_by_zephyrdarksnake-d99ywsv.png (these would cost 20GB)
maulise_by_zephyrdarksnake-d96iknm.pnglioden_commission__aira_by_zephyrdarksna (these would cost 25GB)

Lioden Lions:~ 10-25GB, $5-$13 USD
These will follow more or less the same trend as the original character commissions, the prices varying depending on how complex the markings are.
lioden_commission__muerte_by_zephyrdarks Would be about 10GB
mel_lion_thing_by_zephyrdarksnake-d9vmru Would be about 15GB

Lioden Lion commissions will also vary in price depending on the lion's decor. You may choose not to have any decor drawn at all, but if you do, certain types may cost extra.

Small Decors (such as bugs, feathers, jewelry, scars etc.): Free of charge
Medium Decors (such as skulls, headresses, bodywear etc): 5-7GB depending on the amount and complexity.
Large Decors (Such as companions, body armour etc.): 8-10GB depending on the amount and complexity.

**I do also charge extra for multiple characters! I will only draw as many as two characters per image, and each one will double the price of your order!

If you have a character that you like me to draw but don't see any examples with that type of animal in it, please let me know! I might have some other examples of those types of animals, these are just my most recent drawings~


Now I do have a few pesky rules to lay down before we begin <3

Rules:

-I reserve the right to decline or drop an order, both before and after it is placed! As long as you haven't sent me the payment yet, I may cancel your order if it's proving to be outside of my abilities, even after I've already started drawing it. Things that can cause this are really large orders, orders that don't have a reference image, or orders that supply low quality, hard to see images.

-In addition to the above rule: Please try to supply me only with clear reference images, preferably actual art drawn by you or another artist. I work poorly from descriptions and will often decline an order without consideration if you don't have a ref. Additionally, unclear references such as small/grainy photos of real life clothing articles are difficult to work with as well and may result in me declining your order.

-When it is finished, the art is yours to do whatever with! If you want to post it on other websites, that's fine, but please DO NOT remove my watermark and always try to leave credit if you can!

-If you want to use your art on a banner or something of the like and would like to remove the watermark for that purpose, please ASK ME! I may be willing to make exceptions in these situations.

-Please DO NOT send me a link to a pile of characters and ask me to pick one. It's your responsibility to provide me with something to draw, just as it's my responsibility to provide you with the art.

-NO HUMANS PLEASE. I'm open to drawing any animals, including anthros, but I will not be drawing any humans.

**Please note that should any new issues arise, I reserve the right to change or modify these rules at any given time**


I tend to work best in groups of three, so I'll be doing these three slots at a time! If you usually have bad luck snatching up slots, fear not! These will likely empty out pretty quickly, so it wont take long for a new slot to open up for you <3

***Do you really want an art piece, but all the slots are full? You can advance the slots by paying in USD! USD commissions are done first, so even if the slots are full you can still have your art done~

Fullbody Slots:

**There is a USD payment pending at the moment that will advance the slots and put these on hold! I will update you all and let you know when that's been dealt with!

1. #73827 (Sketching)
2. #23905 (Not started yet)
3. #18003 (Sketching. HUGE ORDER. May take a while to finish)

Tag Slots:

1. #68057 (Sketching)
2. #64351 (Not started yet)
3. #64339 (Not started yet)

Payment:

Send AFTER the sketch, but BEFORE I add the colour!

I will always follow the same rule for payments. I will work on the sketch for your piece, and when it is finished I will PM it to you. If there are any changes you would like, I will make the adjustments and send the sketch again. If you like the sketch, I will ask for the payment in full before I begin colouring it, and I will send the finished product to you as soon as it's done!

****This rule is put into place in case something happens and I can't finish your order!!! It's plain and clear here for you to read, so if you choose to ignore it and send me the payment before I start, I will NOT be making refunds! You ignored the rules and sent me the payment when I specifically asked you not to, and your loss will be the consequence!

I think that's about everything! But I've typed a lot, so I may remember something I need to add later...

For now, thank you so much for taking a look!

Does that mean you won't be finishing the orders?

Thank you for pointing that out, Xilo :)
So things have been temporarily taken care of with the difficult customer: they made a very, very large order which was already setting things back, and then on top of that they weren't responding to my messages. Come to find out they're taking a hiatus from Lioden and didn't think to let me know they wouldn't be around :/

So I'm moving them out of the slots for now and getting back to work on everyone elses art, they made everyone else wait so now they'll be waiting instead. I'll be going through the list and PMing everyone in the slots to ask if they still want their art. If they do, I'll finish it, but if they would like to cancel their order then I'll move on to the next person until the list is finished.

The new shop will not be coded until that's done, so even as I finish the orders in these slots, I will not be taking any more orders in this shop. Please hang tight until I get the new shop opened! I can add people to a PM list once the new shop opens if anyone would like :3

To everyone who's commented on this thread asking about the PM list!

In a moment I will be setting up a clan for my art sales! Within the clan, anyone who would like to be kept up to date on the current status of my artshop can all be updated at once through clan sent mass PMs! Members of the clan will receive updates on the status of shop slots including when new slots become available, as well as notifications for when new special auctions are starting, so you never miss an auction again!

In the future we may even hold raffles for special art where you can try your luck to get some super cheap art, and maybe even some custom decor made by yours truly ;D

Members will also receive bonuses like discounts on art sales and access to things that non members usually wouldn't be able to have, such as backgrounds on art, multiple characters, NSFW images and maybe even those super rare humans I sometimes sell C;

I'll be posting a link as soon as the clan is ready! There will NOT be a monthly fee for anyone who joins (though donations would, of course, always be appreciated), but keep in mind we'll need at least 10 members before the clan can become official!
If we get enough members in the clan, then perhaps the first clan activity we'll have will be a contest to design a banner for the clan in which you could win some free art or decor~
