(founded: 1/25/10)

Welcome to the Art Agency! We are a site that lists art requests in a highly organized fashion. Spread the joy of gifting art everywhere~

Art Agency is a site that dedicates itself to the gifting of art. To put it simply it is a place that lists art requests in an organized fashion! Then artists that stumble upon the page can easily find something they want to draw. The most important feature of this site is that there is no such thing as "member" system. We don't provide a list of people who are accepting art requests; we want people to gift because they want to, not because they are asked to.

I ask you, artists why not practice your drawing skills while gifting? It is a truly magnificent what a simple "thank you" can make you feel!

Updates

10/14/11 Yes, Art Agency is revived again. Haha. Let's get going with the gifting, shall we?

There's really not any rules~ There's a walkthrough and FAQ section if you're confused... but keep in mind two things.
- For starter, try to limit requesting to 2 a month, but when there's not many requests, feel free to requests more.
- Just grab a request and remember to neomail KnigthSquad so we can tally how many times the requests got fulfilled. We want everyone to have a chance of being gifted!
- You can neomail before or after you accepted the request. I won't neomail back saying I received your neomail after the first time, that'll clog up my inbox!

WALK THROUGH ON REQUESTING ART:


WALK THROUGH ON GIFTING ART:

Using the Site: Know Your Basic Terms!

Requests are split into 2 main sections and each split further into two subcategories.

General Art Requests: This is for people who are seeking artworks for pets that they already own. Group/family requests are acceptable, but not encouraged.

App Art Requests: Requests for people seeking artworks for pets that they don't own yet. Artworks will be used as part of the application. Maybe your art will help them get their dream pet!

General! I have an owner!

App! Oh how Semmy wishes she can own you.

Both of them have their Pros and Cons and it is for you to figure out what you're comfortable with.



General and App requests are further more split under Quad and Anthro.

Quad: Stands for quadruped, or 4-legged animal but used in a broader term for a character that simply looks like an animal. An Usul or Chia that resembles their neopet look will also be known as "quad" even if they are not 4-legged.

Anthro: Stands for anthropomorphism, it is a way of incorpating human features into animals. This obviously stray away from what a regular neopet looks like. Therefore it is required to provide a reference as to what you want the artist to draw.

Quad, I'm a fire breathing dino, rawr.

Anthro. Also known as my owner was forced to draw a human when she can't even draw stick figures properly.

Depending on what kind of artist you are, you can gift what you're good at! And perhaps try something you're not so good with. :3



This is the basic format of what a request is like:


1. Name: The FULL name of the pet this request is for along with their colour and species. Note, it is possible to request a pet that hasn't been morphed/painted into the requested colour/species yet, but please don't make this a regular thing.

2. Requestor: Username of the person requesting.

3. Reference: Sometimes the requestor has a different way of perceiving their neopets. This is what this is about. The image to the right of the request, is my personal reference, no other fire krawk looks like that.

Customization can also function as a reference. (Me as a Magma Overlord.)

See? Someone can work off that and draw this!

Even simple text description works! But there is nothing to be ashamed of if you don't have a design! Requests without a reference, are just regular neopets.


Just me being a regular Fire Krawk, still as dashing as ever.

4. Date: The exact date when this request is added to the Agency. Requests that reach 1 month old will be removed.

5. Accept this Request: Click here to neomail the requestor and tell them you want to help with the request!

6. The Number: Requests can be removed prematurely if 2 people had accepted the same request. (1/2) means one out of two, so if another person accepts this request, it will be removed!
(Note: there is no such limit with app requests)

7. Deadline: (not shown) For application requests there will always be a deadline. Watch out for this or you might have drawn a request too late!
