Description ew, random spewage pertaining to our commissioner, and I don't give a shit if he reads it or not. We sent all six images to him and he told us that two of them (mine included) were "unfortunately ok" and asked *ViCkeRzHeRe to REDO them COMPLETELY, FREE of charge. Which I think is unfair, seeing as Vick has a job and everything. It would be fine if he just wanted some touch-ups, but he's asking a completely different artist to do a completely different image : ( He won't even actually read the emails we send him asking to make a different compromise because he's "too busy with the grand opening of the shop."

And guess what's just "okay"?

The STYLE. Our styles are "not good enough." My STYLE doesn't fit the image. I'm sorry, but he had plenty of time to choose which artist could draw which picture; he just GAVE us the styles and refs and essentially told us to do whatever, so he doesn't have any right to complain about the styles not fitting now that we've spent this much time giving him six images in a borderline-ridiculous time period.

He won't even explain it because he's not replying to the emails.

...Sorry for the immature rant >_>;;;;

Otherwise I'm pretty okay with this picture. The face is a bit wonky and the coloring isn't rly up-to-par, but whatever : (

Although, I'm glad we got these commissions because I got an excuse to "research" gothic&lolita fashion quite a bit.

Lineart: Sakura Micron
Color: Opencanvas
Plaid: Painter9

I might've normally had a watermark, but it's a smaller-size image and I don't really care if anybody decides to rip it and use it because it was for the mask man.

What the hell is with that commission story? =O,o= I wouldn't DREAM of behaving that way toward anyone, let alone someone who was making me something. And people have rules about redos for a reason. You can't just demand a redo when the artist has already worked hard on the first version. You're paying for their labour!

Anyway. =-_-=;; I love the way you drew this. He's very cute, I think the coloring looks fine, and the kodona outfit is adorable. Fave.

Ugh, don't worry, he WON'T read the description, because he's too effin' "busy" slash lazy slash retarded to even take a minute to look at our deviantart galleries and LEARN OUR GODDAMN NAMES. I thought this image was really really really nice though, especially the inking and the attractive boots, and the HOT COLORING. <333333

Oh by the way, he might've been talking about just the image when he said "style" because hes an illiterate retard, but its far too much effort to try and comprehend, as his lack of english skills exceeds my attention span.
Ollie is smexy : )

LOL ryny is secks : ) I love how he never knew anybody's name but yours, wtf! HE HAD NO IDEA AND HE WAS GIVING US MONEY???

Yeah I think he could've meant that, but then again he said that the "styles didn't match the image" or something, like the kawaii one wasn't cute enough. But it was adorable, so I dun eben know what he's talking about umg ;^;

Thank ya for the comment<3

UMG Vicky&Rini were talking about if they met him at AX by any chance they would beat him up hahahah ;;;;

Mmm I want a messenger cap like that too~ I think he sells something like that on his site but I don't want to give him any business : (

It was a RL commission xD; I don't think I would've made this big of a deal if it was just Gaia, but we're dealing with actual money, haha xD;;

OMG HE kept calling US "unprofessional" xDDDD Which I guess we kind of are, seeing as we're a group of four teenagers, but we're not the ones who own a business : (

I don't think your rant was uncalled for. It must be horrible to work with persons ( commissioner on this case ) like that. And I really like this picture. It's beautifull and it's your style, I wouldn't give a shit about someone who says that this is "unfortunately ok".

Good luck!

Unfortunately, this is just ok. OH GODDAMNIT GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF!!!! I HATE THAT GUY!!! I hate how he disliked only the ones that you worked on. I bet he actually thinks that this is a really hot and attractive picture that he wants to have babies with so he PRETENDED that he didn't like it so that he could have it all to himself and have gay sex. EXCEPT THAT HE IS NOT COOL ENOUGH TO HAVE THIS PICTURE!! GOD I HATE HIM.


i personally liked this one the best out of all of ours. You put like the most effort into it and it turned out awesome even if you don't think so. I HEART IT.
