1. My price is 50g before assignments 50g afterwards. If the customer is dissatisfied, they'll either be excused from paying the other half of their gold or I'll redo my assignments until the customer is satisfied with the results.

If for any reason you have trouble getting the money needed to pay for my program, don't hesitate to PM me and we can work something out for you. I don't do haggles. Sorry...

2. I will not get anyone banned for not following the rules unless it's against ToS, but I will deny my service for anyone that I am unable to work with. These will prevent you from losing your gold.

a. Follow ToS. Self-explanatory... I'm good at reporting people who don't.

b. No spamming/begging/etc. to me. I'm a busy person with a short temper and it annoys me when I have to put it up with you. Not a rule, but a suggestion if you want to have an easier time cooperating with me. If you want gold from me, don't ask for it and you'll get it.

c. Show some respect. If I'm willing to take few hours of my time out just to help you out, you have the time to be respectful for my time, because my time is rare online during school hours. If you're not willing to show some respect for someone who takes time just to focus on making you a better artist, then why should I waste my time helping you when I could spend that time improving myself?

d. Behave yourselves. I will only be able to put up with patients who I can cooperate with. I don't time to babysit people so if you want to behave like an immature and annoying 5-year-old, save it for chatterbox. This is Shi's Super-Awesome-Kickass Self-Recovery Program for Art, not a nursery for babies. Take care of yourself, and I'll take care of your improvement.

e. No flamming. In other words, do not bite the hand that feeds you. It's just an act of courtesy. If someone does you a favor, would you yell at them ingratefully? I don't think so. Besides, it's against ToS so all flames I get will be reported.

f. Make time for yourself to DO the assignments I don't keep deadlines because real life comes first, but if I'm willing to make assignments for you after 14 hours of school, homework, and sports, the least you can do to thank me for it is at least do them when you can. An active artist is more likely to improve than a passive artist is.

g. Try your best. All the assignments are there for your artistic benefit. If for any reason, I am unsatisfied with how you did your exercises, I will ask you to do it over until I am satisfied. I will also add additional tips when I request a do-over. I can understand if you're struggling in it. Just ask me or another nurse/doc questions if you are having trouble and I/they will do my/their best to help you. I will never ask a patient for a do-over unless it looked like he/she didn't make an effort on the assignment.

I know I'm really a**l about it, but it's because I want only the serious and dedicated artists in my program. If you're not going to bother to do what is expected of you, then why are you wasting 100g for this?

3. Voluptious_Elegance

4. shading, coloring, traditional painting techniques such as watercolors, acrylics, etc, inking, a bit of anatomy, etc. I'll update this as I solidify certain aspects.

#2 and #4 are subject to changes over time. If my rules seem harsh, sorry about that. I could go back and change/re-word some if they seem a bit too harsh for people.

As for uninspiring pics, I just take some time out to explore around life and images and find stuff that could work well in my pic or I just doodle out the concept when I'm bored. Normally I let it come to me, but then again, I'm pretty relaxed. I never force myself into drawing uninspiring works...
