Welcome to Pixels[squared]. Please do note that the shop is still under contstruction. As such, it won't be quite anything grand for a while. At least until I get everything cleaned up and get my a** to do graphics (or, which will probably be the case, ask someone to do it for me).

That said, nothing stops you from still enjoying my modest place. Cheers.

Alright, time for useless banter. If you're here just to shop, you can skip this post and go right away to the next two.

A bit of an addendum here. Due to family stuff and temporary lacks of time, I will only be able to keep the shop up one week out of two. Thank you for the understanding. As such, there might be times where you have to wait a whole week for your comission. I hope it won't be a problem to any of yous.

So what am I offering here anyway? Well for now, I must admit there isn't much, but I'm planning on the long term to open a full-fledged pixel shop. A few days ago, I found a base over the internet for pixel dolls. Starting from there, I went over and played with it a bit until I was satisifed with a few things and ended up giving them away. Now, I'm downright making profit out of them. Kinda cool, eh?

I've decided to finally make a thread for them because lately, I've been looking for a new place to hang around on Gaia. This new place, you've guessed it, will be here. Second reason would be because I can never spit on a few extra gold, of course.

Oh, and lastly, there's a point I'd like to share. Many peoples have pointed out that my pixels are sold quite cheaply, and that I could make at least twice more and still sell a lot. Well see, I've decided to keep my prices down for quite a few reasons. First because the sprites aren't really hard to do. Anyone given the right base can do pixel art, and these are no exception. Second because I don,t want gold that bad. I'd rather have the satisfaction of knowing that many peoples around Gaia, rich or poor, are sporting around my pixels.
The most important though would be because I believe in judge-pricing. What I mean by that is paying by appreciation. Thus, 100g is kinda a base price, a start. If you really like the artwork, though, nothing will stop you from giving an extra to it's maker, eh? So yup, I'd like to work into that way of pricing, and thus keep my prices relatively low.

That's about it for now! Expect more or less sooner or later.

Alright, here's the interesting part! I'm currently only offering small sprites of your avatar. The sprite will be made from this base:

And with this font:

Remember that in the end, everything will be double-sized! Fully-clothed, too. Here are a few examples of the final product:

As you can see, the finished product itself consists of your avatar, your username and a small quote added to it. If you want, as a bonus, I can make a single piece with many avatars, as such:

All of it for the simple price of 100g per avatar!

To order, you simply send to me, via private messaging, all the informations I need:

-A hosted picture of the avatar(s) to be in the picture.
-The name you want next to each avatar.
-The quote (please make it small) You want added to the picture.

From there, I take over and choose a position, put clothes over it and send it back to you. Do note that I will not start making the picture until you've sent me a trade with the minimum gold requirement of 100g per avatar. Orders not sent by PM will simply be ignored. Once I'm done, I will confirm the trade, send the final product to you by PM and post it in here.

BY THE WAY!

I love art exchanges! If you give me some of your own work in return, I'll make you a sprite for free. <3
