[Accepting]
I try not to take on too many art trades at once. However, even if my status says I am not accepting, you can ask - that way I can put you on a pending list and when I have finished my current ones. Yours would be in the next set.
I am VERY patient and can understand that things can get in the way of Trades. The only thing I ask is that if your half is delayed, that you keep me informed as I would extend the same courtesy to you!

[Time Frame]
I will usually take 2-4 wks to finish an art trade. However, that's isn't always the case as life and art funks do unfortunately get in the way. I will give you a time frame when we agree an art trade, so you have an idea of when I will finish mine. Either that or I will inform you whether it will be done soon or not. Please be patient with me as I will be patient with you.

[Status]
My art trades are listed on my [DA journal] in the footer so they are always showing. I also note the status of the trade so you can keep an eye on how far I've got.

[Uploading - New Rule]
If you come to me asking for an art trade, I will expect you to upload yours first. With friends, this doesn't count as I know my friends and know they will make good on their half. This rule has had to be imposed due to not always receiving art that is owed to me. Don't take this rule personally, it is just because of past experiences.

[Subject]
I draw... * Anthro * Animal * Weres & Furries * Fantasy creatures Look through my [DA Gallery] to see my style. I am fine with gore but will NOT draw yiff/p*rn art. I will draw your characters but I wont draw other peoples characters for an art trade unless I have their permission in writing.

Personally I think some people don't understand the concept of art trades. Artists have their own style and way of drawing, so you wont get exactly what you expect from someone drawing your character. After all it will be THEIR representation! Saying that, my subject rule is if you want an art trade with me, all I want is the character ref / description. I ado not want the pose or 'scene' that you want me to draw. For that kind of detail, look toward my commission!

[Media]
I am a Traditional Artist so my medias are mechanical pencils, ink and colouring pencils when I do a piece of art. I also sometimes use felt tip pens and gel pens to highlight images. I will sometimes use CG so add a little flare or even a background (VERY rarely).

~*~*~*~
[The Order]
I dont automatically do art trades by first come, first serve. My inspiration doesnt work that way. However I WILL get the art trades in the set I work on currently, done first. Also, if you finish your half I will make a special effort to get my half completed.

~*~*~*~
[Effort]
I expect the same level of effort shown on an art trade, I take time and pride in my work especially with art trades. I expect artists doing art trades with me to do the same. If I believe your half is shoddy, thrown together image taking all of 5 mins, I will cancel the art trade!

~*~*~*~
[Originals]
I do not send originals out in art trades. For that privilege you would have to commission me.
