1. Check if shop is open. While my Equality and Deviantart shops are always open, the Ponies shop is sometimes closed to enable me to catch up on requests. If shop is open, then proceed to 2.
2. Make request, including picture reference and/or colours. This is very important. As well as a picture reference (a generalzoi pony maker pic is ideal), you may want to provide a colour reference. This is of vital importance if you have provided a drawing as your ref, as without the colour reference, I will have to guess as to the colours and saturation, and I may guess wrong as pencil art looks different to the colour picker than vector art.
3. Male/Female/Adult/Foal. Please state what age your OC is and what gender they are. If you want a colt pic, I might instead edit a filly base for you, especially if your OC has a filly muzzle. Some OCs might look female but be instead male, or vice versa; I can work with that if you give me the correct info. However, if you just give me a pic and leave me to guess your OC's gender, remember that there is a fifty per cent chance that I might get it wrong.
4. Exercise patience. Now, I do have a life outside of the internet. I do have a job, and also need to come offline to eat, sleep, watch TV, socialise and attend to my personal life. Please don't bombard me with repeated reminders about your request. If you do, I might get mad and strike you off the list, or push you to the bottom of it. I don't like to do this, but if I'm being repeatedly harrassed, I will do this. Usually, I will only strike somepony off the list if they are banned, meaning that making their request is pointless.
5. Do not demand redos. These requests do take up a lot of my time to make, and I do have other requests to attend to. I might do a redo in exceptional circumstances, for example, if your colt is girly and you'd prefer an edited filly base, or if there is a gender confusion. However, I will not do this if you simply don't like the finished result, or if you demanded something which was very difficult for me to draw on Paint. If you want any edits, then do them yourself. I have taken time in making your OC so please don't be ungrateful and demand that I remake your OC to your pernickety ideal.
6. If I mention you, asking a question, please reply. This may seem like an obvious rule, but it's an important one. For example, let's say you post your reference pic along with "This is my OC"; a statement giving no clue to what gender the pony is. The pic shows what looks like a mare, but with a stallion muzzle. In order to clarify that your OC is a mare, I mention you and ask. You don't reply, so I put "waiting on reply" next to your name on the list and move on to the next request. You see, these pixels take time to complete, especially if I create a new base to make your request. I don't want to have to go thru all that work, making the pixel on a mare base, only to find that your OC is actually a stallion who likes to crossdress. So please have the decency to reply to a query I have regarding your OC.
That dealt with, here are the links to my shops. Hope to see you there!
