Now to appologise: I must have done -something- but all of those comments, your commissioning forms have GONE from the previous journal. This is so annoying, as there were about 30 or so of you who i hadn't gotten around to and now, unfortunately, you're going to have to write them again, (in this journal) if you want a commission. I am ever so sorry! All the information below is exactly the same as it was in the commission journal I had everyone write in before, so if you had already filled out a form, you know how it works, you don't need to re-read this because it's not any different to the previous one. If you have not filled out a commissioning form thingie before/read this journal and want a commission, please keep reading!
My first year at Uni is almost over and through the summer I hope to try sell adoptables, i'll be finishing two digital painting commissions among other things. (As I said once, i do want to also do mug-design commissions or something!) SO, if you would rather spend your money on an adoptable or something else from me, wait a bit and i'll sort out how to manage those closer to July.
-------------FURCADIA PORTRAIT COMMISSION INFORMATION--------------
Remember, I don't do first come first serve. I pick them out depending on what I feel like drawing at the time. Otherwise it is really painfully hard to keep this up and I end up getting ports sent back to me saying it's not good enough. I need to enjoy it.
DONT NOTE ME. Keep it here, and please read this journal the whole way through. Once I've told you I'm interested in doing a port for your character, you can note me with all the info you aren't comfortable putting into public, like email addresses and such.
If you have already sent me references on the last journal where I opened up for 2 slots, feel free to copy paste what you wrote here if you didn't get a slot. Don't worry if you don't get a note/message from me accepting your commission right away, I plan to be open for a few months.
I will be charging my 'not busy' fees (Paypal only):
$24-$40 USD for a single.
That's £15-£24.50 in my language and 17-28 in Euros
Couple ports: $60 USD /£37/42
What's easy:
Natural colours, colours that work with eachother or blend, just a head shot of an animal or anthro character. Nonremap.
What's harder:
Wings, Humans, Manga, Full Body, a random mash of colours, tons of background.
^ You can use that as a vague guideline to guess whether I'll charge you something about the cheaper end of the price range, or the more expensive end. Prices will be discussed when I see your references. I wont just suprise you with them!
Please answer these questions and stuff. It will really help me as a quick reference when I'm drawing your port.
I will look at your comments and note you about a slot.
Now, nothing personal to any of you, but I have to say this as a precaution so that people know what the concequences are if they steal:
If you send a payment reversal on paypal, or somehow take the money you paid for the port back without my permission after I have given you it, I WILL stick your port up on DA as a free port, so the port and unedited character is for anyone to use/edit.
This is my solution to the times I have been ripped off.
In your comment, if you are aiming for a slot, please copy paste the sentence below with your yes/no answer:
I understand and accept that if I send a payment reversal, or somehow take back the money I owe ~Taikata for the artwork I commissioned her, without her publically written consent, then ~Taikata has the right to upload the furcadia portrait free for anyone to use or edit: Yes/No.
I will understand if a reversal has to be made with a good explanation. PLEASE explain it to me first before making the reversal, I will allow you a certain number of days to repay what was taken back.
If you're not going to steal your money back, then you have nothing to worry about. =]
I usually ask for money first, but if you're going to have it in a number of days, that's fine I can wait as long as you know the rules. Just tell me when to expect the payment and what name on Paypal I will see. (when doing multiple ports at a time, it can be confusing as to who paid what.)
Lastly: DO NOT GIFT ME THE MONEY! If paypal figures someone is running a buisness where the customers gift them money, rather than transferring/sending money (or whatever it's called) Then the person running said buisness will have to pay a fine, because Paypal do not take any fees from gift transactions and therefore, the buisness man/woman would be using the site's service for free.







Character name: Caitlin
Remap or Nonremap Either is fine.
Eyes Remap/nonremap I prefer nonremap on the eyes, gives them more detail.
Picture references: Normal attire, [link] - for "work" attire, [link] & [link]
Preferences for content of port:
a) Normal demeanor: Caitlin is a very stoic person, the kind that generally doesn't speak unless spoken to, is quick to judge, but very friendly as long as she's not insulted. The best way to put it is she's the type of person you feel compelled to immediatly call "ma'am," just by their demeanor and how they hold themselves. Her usual expression is never a smile, nor a frown - just a kind of neutral, thin-lipped look. She is, however, the kind of person who is first to welcome you into their home and say "Come! Eat! Be merry!", but is also the first to throw every pot and pan she owns at you, should you insult her. With this style, I give high amounts of artistic freedom of pose and expression, as I *LOVE* seeing how people interpret her kind of personality into artwork.
b) Work: Caitlin, being the 4'7" bundle of "joy," has a surprising job. She works as an exotic/fantasy species trainer, breeder, and trader. She is TRULY happy with her job, and working with her creatures is one of the times that she can be seen genuinely, and openly, smiling almost all of the time. She deals with most mythological creatures, so you're free to pick a favorite one (she's always expanding the types of species), or I can always give you examples and pictures of current breeds she works with. She is either seen in the attire in her reference picture, or in a plain, olive green mechanic's jumpsuit (that is a little too big on her), and thick workboots.
c) Any other suggestions? Go for it! I love artist interpretations
Character name: Jillian
Remap or Nonremap Either is fine.
Eyes Remap/nonremap I prefer nonremap on the eyes, gives them more detail.
Picture references: [link] has all of her current pictures.
Preferences for content of port:
a) Jillian is a very nature-loving person. She enjoys sleeping outside, camping, or doing her work in a garden, forest, or clearing. If you'd prefer to do something that's more serene, and based less around a theme, you're more than welcome to pick this option! She also has a small pet (acquired from my character Caitlin, actually) that she adores to the ends of the earth. I have one unfinished picture of him - [link] he does not have a tail in the picture, but in reality, his tail is very long and whip-like. His personality is akin to that of a pixie or sprite - mischevious, but relatively harmless.
b) Work: Jillian works as a taxidermist, skeleton articulator, black- and leather-smith. She is often found doing her work, and many people have centered portraits done of her around this. You can do anything from portraying her crafting a weapon, satchel/leather piece, taxidermy, or anything to do with skeletons! She also has a small pet (acquired from my character Caitlin, actually) that she adores to the ends of the earth, and is often bothering her during work or sprawling out all over her current project while she's trying to do it. I have one unfinished picture of him - [link] he does not have a tail in the picture, but in reality, his tail is very long and whip-like. His personality is akin to that of a pixie or sprite - mischevious, but relatively harmless.

Can I do it non-remap?: Yes! I'd actually prefer it that way.
Can I do the eyes non-remap?: Yes.
Picture references: [link] - [link] - [link]
Preferences for content of port: General sultryface, with perhaps a hand pushing her hair back and a touch of bust shown. She typically wears corsets in dark hues and with lace patterns, like the one in the third image reference.
Name: Joie
Can I do it non-remap?: Yes! I'd actually prefer it that way.
Can I do the eyes non-remap?: Yes.
Picture references: I will have some in quite the near future, and will add them to this comment once I do.
Preferences for content of port: Something along the lines of [link] with a folded fan up against her lips would be wonderful. (This image is also her facial reference, though she's an anthro Persian feline.)
I'm very much opinion to you having creative license with either port; I'd love to see them in a new pose, something edgy or sultry or even standoffish.

Species: Dik dik
Can I do it non-remap?: Yes
Can I do the eyes non-remap?: Yes
Picture references: [link] color and marking reference -> [link] <- [link] hair reference -> [link] <- shes the one with the deer ears. what kind of animal she is: [link] , [link] ( She's a dik dik but she doesn't have horns!! )
Preferences for content of port: I just think it'd be funny if David ( white crocodile ) photobombed the port in one way or another, yanno? XD Like his tail showing in the background or his hand on her shoulder ( if her shoulder shows ) Otherwise, I'd like the theme to be warm colors ( yellows and oranges ) with a african watering hole background like this [link]

Pose idea, Theme, Background ideas [if there are any]: Note really a pose, but an emotion. A shy smile. He is an extremely submissive werewolf (it will be his human form though) so he's always super shy, but he's generally happy.

Can I do the eyes non-remap? Again, preferable!
Picture references: [link] - however she would have her "wing" ears as shown here: [link] / [link] (interpret these any way you wish).
Preferences for content of port: Just calm or slightly sad looking - perhaps looking downward? Would prefer a headshot! Neck up would be grand. This is a feral character. Place her in either a snowy setting or a big city like Minneapolis, Minnesota. Or, if you'd prefer, by some sort of body of water. You have a lot of freedom otherwise. I want you to have fun!

references
[link] - portrait done for me by colbie, where her ears/face dots aren't quite black but it shows what her flowers (teal and lime green lilies) look like.
her flower sits at the base of her tail, or she can have one next to each ear.
[link] - a reference i drew for her colors and info, but it doesn't have her flox info on it.
[link] - portrait i did for her that shows her eye-bags and what sort of hair she has (it reaches about the bottom of her shoulderblades) but it has the wrong type of flower!
[link] - portrait by me that shows her body type.
[link] - portrait by me, here for a clothing reference. she tends to wear baggy hoodies and black skinny jeans, large leather boots, and lots of grey or black stripes.
preferences
i would prefer her to be anthro, and have her allergy/insomnia-eyebags. :3 ideally shoulders up, i think. she usually looks tired, but happy. she sneezes and blows her nose CONSTANTLY, so that's a common port pose and probably one of my favorites, but she also loves videogames a lot, so she could be gaming (wearing a headset or something) or just smiling into the camera. she's pretty nocturnal, but she's always either gaming or on the internet in her otherwise dark house, in terms of setting, but I don't really mind the background much!
