As you might have noticed there are many talented and wonderful graphic manipulators, line artists and layout makers out there and often they are inundated with requests for pictures etc. with very limited time to do them all. The aim of the boutique is to get a collection of these artists to guarantee some of their time for you at a flexible price that suits you both. This means that you can pick and choose what you want and what you don’t want in your picture based on your chosen artists’ examples and they can come up with a price accordingly without having to change their own shops set prices. Sound complicated? It really isn’t. For example; Artists set price for a 500x150 (forum banner) is 20,000vpc in their shop which includes one dog model, a background and a title/quotation. Customer would like a forum banner but would like two dogs, no title and no quotation but she likes Artists examples. She asks Artist if he is able to do this. Artists agrees that for 20,000 he can use two dogs of her choice with no title/quotation provided she finds the two dog models. It really is as simple as that – We will let you know when we start your graphic and when it is finished, we will PM you the direct link and feature our pictures as example with your claim underneath it. You are welcome to add/change anything on the form as long as it is submitted BEFORE we get to work – some of us use GIMP while others use PS, some won’t save as layers and cause a lot of stress later on. RULES. <ul class="bb-list-unordered"><li class="bb-listitem"> All images must be CC enabled and traceable back to their original owners (Credit for models, background etc.)[/*] </li> <li class="bb-listitem"> Under no circumstances must you remove the watermarks/credits that are on the images or claim the pictures as your own.[/*] </li> <li class="bb-listitem"> If you are not satisfied with the result, please refrain from giving us abuse. We will try to follow your instructions as much as possible but we can't make miracles.[/*] </li> <li class="bb-listitem"> Follow VP's TOS when selecting a theme/content for your image. This is a friendly site.[/*] </li> <li class="bb-listitem"> If you can no longer afford/don't want your picture, please e-mail the artist to let him/her know. That time spent could have been used for someone else wanting.[/*] </li> <li class="bb-listitem"> Most of us will take any form of payment (vpc, dogs, gifties, dyes..) but we will NEVER ask for IRL money so if anybody contacts you claiming to be from us asking for your bank details get in touch with the admins immediately. Now, let me introduce our current Artists. <img src="http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j40/megedd04/scottiebanner_zps984bf17c.png"; alt="http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j40/megedd04/scottiebanner_zps984bf17c.png"; class="bb-image" /> ColourfulEmoRabbit/Punk Rabbit (Perseus.)

PLAY-BY; Svenska KENNEL NAME; Svenska TYPE OF GRAPHIC; Dog pic SIZE OF GRAPHIC; Whatever you usually do for a standard dog pic COLOUR SCHEME; Not much of a concern THEME; Upbeat, Nature CONTENT; A Mackenzie River Husky preferably running through the mud/slush MODELS; None BACKGROUND IMAGE; Maybe the woods, nature, something that fits the name TITLE; Muddy's Weekend Warrior QUOTATION; Maybe a quote about enjoying life? OTHER; Are all of your graphics free? Is that what a donation graphic is? If not, I'm happy to pay. This is an excellent idea, one I was actually wishing that we had as I scrolled through the graphics section, then I found this! So thank you, this is extremely useful! Oh, and can you do gifty pics? My dog's link: <a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=dog/view&id=2044341"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=dog/view&id=2044341</a> PROFFERED ARTIST; I won't put too much weight on this, but I must say, your graphics are literally perfect. They are so me, and might I say that you can count me as a returning customer. I hope you could mentor me in graphics sometime.

Howdy, Stranger!
