Elven cookies for Elven Lament, my art shop.

How you earn these cookies:
1: Thread Regular: Obey the thread rules and be curteous! Oh and no bumping! Participate in the thread by being constructive and communicative. I won't yell at you for bumping, but bumpin around will not make you a thread reg and thus, get you nothing because I feel my art shop is not a place for bumps.

2: Commission Regular: Order multiple works from me. I <3 this because it lets me get to know you as a person better. I learn your likes/dislikes and a bit of your personality. That will show in the art and in the end, make better art we will both enjoy. I love letting personality and character show in my art. ^_^ This just makes it easier.

3: Tip/wishlist: Pay me with a wishlist item as part of the payment, tip me, etc. I love this! Tipping is not required, but is such a good motivator and is a very lovely compliment to pay my work for you. Tips let me know I did a good job, or that you believe I will do a good job. This makes me happy. ^_^ And in return, you can earn considerations.

4: Advertise: For gods sake no when I'm on hiatus or living in fear of orders. XD But help me advertise when I want the orders (be they for item quest or holiday special), and I shall return the favor with gratitude!

5: Help me out: Point lazy people who didn't read the front page in the right direction, give me pricing advise, and constructive criticism on how to make the thread better. Things like this.

What these cookies mean:
1: Freebies! You can get random free holiday art, free backgrounds for chibis, free extras in your profile design, etc.

2: Discounts! Who doesn't love discounts? Want some work done but don't have the gold? Ask me nicely and I'll be happy to work for you on the cheap if you've earned the cookies for it!

3: Reluctant work: I will draw items I don't usually want to draw for you, keep in items I usually take out, and will even do pets (if I really have to...). Even art subjects I don't want to do. *coughfurriescough*

4: Working holiday: If I'm able, I will even do work for you when the shop is on hiatus. I will also accepted deadlined orders (so long as the time frame is reasonable).

5: Delayed Payments: Earning this cookie means I trust you. I will do art for you even if you haven't started the trade. I might even send you finished work before you've paid me! surprised I may also be moved to do work in exchange for a promise to pay you at a later date (ie: Will pay you when this item sells).
