They've been traded to Caliander



Hey, so I'm trying this again. It's been a while since I uploaded the journal about trading my Draped-In-Blue DTA Leloko (Flower Critter), and what I'm interested in has changed drastically too.

The design in question is this baby. They come with a HECK-TON of art. I can't sell them since I won them from the DTA:
{DTA} - Draped in blue (CLOSED) by PhloxeButt
Please see the old journal here for most of their art. There is actually more art of this character not on that journal that I haven't been able to find, as well as some more pieces from myself. There's a bit of a text wall so scroll down to find them:
Trading DTA Leloko (FlowerCritter) LF Grem/BagbeanTime to let the bby go ;;;m;;;
I was reluctant to do this for the longest time, I mean the LONGEST time, I got this bab more than a year ago now. When I think about trading them I deny the idea because I remember how much work and effort I put into winning them and developing their character, that huge struggle it took to win that DTA.
But then I remember I'm not going to do anything with this character 8n8 I have a hard time holding interest in animal characters and closed species, and especially with a character like this where there's rules surrounding what I can do with them, and it's hard to work with them because... Well, my most favourite thing to draw and work with is expressions, feeling. This character can't even open their mouth. The fact that their design is so complicated means I don't enjoy drawing/animating them normally either (I prefer simple designs). What I can do with them that I'd enjoy is severely limited... And what's more, I've felt incredibly guilty for not usi

Proof that I own this design is also linked on that journal.
I don't however have the fullsized unwatermarked version of the official art up there for some reason (I probably forgot to ask, I was p inexperienced with the adoptable community when I won) so you may have to ask Phloxebutt for the full size image if they still have it.

Here's one of the DTA entries by myself so that you can see what tail they have, since the DTA allowed you to create your own tail end on the design.


WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR:

I no longer have interest in virtually any deviantArt species, so I am no longer taking offers of them. I could go into more detail about this, trust me I have a lot to say, but that's a subject for another day... So instead, I'm interested in trading this design for these things:

1 - Artwork

    -It's very tricky to tempt me with art, as most things I can happily create myself. I'm least likely to accept these offers.
    -If you can draw humans, which don't have same-face syndrome, then you are of highest interest to me when offering art. My life practically revolves around my human characters, whereas my animal characters often collect dust in a forgotten folder.
    -Don't offer too much. I know what it's like to be overworked, it's not fun, and you will not be able to finish for months and months. You don't want that. I don't want that. Please be reasonable with what you're offering, as too much drives me away.
    -Please try to offer me interesting things. Instead of plain headshots or fullbodies, what about tiled patterns, or animated icons, or pixel art, or designs that could be printed onto shirts or badges, journal skins, etc. If you have YCHs, show them to me. Don't make me skim-read your offer.
    -Please provide examples, which is a given but still.

2 - Physical Items

    -I am incredibly interested in physical things that I can hold or use, as opposed to regular art. These offers are more likely to be accepted.
    -Please bare in mind that I live in the UK, so shipping costs might be high depending on where you are (I'll be asking you to pay for these costs). Higher priced shipping sometimes causes an additional charge when entering the UK as well, but I will deal with those charges.
    -I am interested in custom made plushies (can be animals, since human plushies are often a bit creepy looking).
    -I am interested in other crafted objects, for example sculptures, custom printed things (books, shirts, jigsaws, etc), art dolls, etc.
    -I am interested in Pokemon merch, including games, plushies, pokemon center merch, etc. More interested in newer things than older original merch.
    -I'm also interested in Steven Universe merch, and maybe FNAF merch (I feel shameful).
    -Other things? Gemstones (looking for fire opal especially, p rare), minky fabrics, lanyards, stickers, plush patterns, pillows (if you have something immensly soft and cuddly, i probably want it), cute usable stuff.
    -Fursuit things like paw gloves, tails, heads, etc just in general I love fursuiting stuff. Paw/etc gloves I'm most interested in.

Don't forget that you can mix and match offers. Don't be afraid to suggest something else along with these things either. Just be mindful of the following:

DO NOT OFFER ME THESE:

    -Closed species designs.
    -Any character designs, unless it's additional to your main offer. I may still deny taking them though if I accept.
    -Art slavery.
    -NSFW art.
    -A nice egg in this trying time.

You can note me offers if you don't want to comment. I'll feature comments that I'm interested in.

Ohman so, I love drawing humans-- but my gallery is pretty vacant of examples
so here is my best explanation/examples to show you?:

1. I can do icons like my current one --> :iconanselovfyre:
*(I am willing to add blink, mouth, and maybe sparkle animations)

2. I can do pixels (you can choose size if preferred)
I haven't done human in a long time, but here are examples of other things
sta.sh/2197tdxtwpeb

3. I have never done a tiled pattern before but I would love to give it a shot!
(I'd even be willing to do a tester for you before hand if you'd like?)

4. I could do a badge design (or sticker esq sheet of any character you want)
in these styles perhaps? 
Not amused by Anselovfyre   Senful by Anselovfyre  (or more chibi/fat faced for the human)

overall maybe 5-7 pieces of art, it can be a mix up of each or all of one thing.
If not, thank you so much for looking man, you're a gem!
