All new art is on hold until I can afford a new computer.


I might be posting only old stuff for a while.

FAQ

1:bulletred: I Have a Request For a Stained Glass of (Insert Character Here)!
The only stained glass windows I have plans for are those on my donations list, which can be found on my profile page, or my current commissions list, which can usually be found in my latest journal entry. If the character you suggested is not on either list, I do not have plans to make a stained glass for him/her. You will have to make it a commission. *
(As of August 9th 2012, I'm reserving the right to change my mind for any future Disney or MLP characters.)


2:bulletorange: *But Several of My Friends Want to See It Too!/I have no money!
You can make it a commission, or I'll add your suggestion to the next poll for the donations list, if I know about the character. I can't do justice to their stained glass if I know nothing about them. If your suggestion wins the poll, it shall be made!

3:bulletyellow: Tell Me More About That Donations List!
[link]

4:bulletgreen: What are Your Commissions Rates?
I am accepting commissions as rewards for the RocketHub Akili Upgrade Fund. Your order will help me get a new computer so that I can actually continue to make new art.
Follow the link for more info: [link]
And if you'd like to make a custom request (If you want something different or more than what's listed for rewards) just ask me!

5:bulletblue: What Is the Difference Between Requests and Commissions?
Requests are when you ask me to make something for nothing. I might make them, if the moon is right and if I feel inspired to. That's the way it is unless a whole lot of you want the same thing. Then I will put it on my donations list, which WILL get done eventually. Commissions are something you pay for, and I will complete as promptly as I can. You partially own the finished piece, and can do with it whatever you want. I must ask you permission to use it or feature it anywhere besides my DA gallery and DA groups. I want to feature your commission in groups, because unless you state otherwise, I'm going to assume you would like lots of people to see it. And groups are a great way of getting more exposure for a piece of art.

6:bulletpurple: Hey! Your Designs Are Not Stained Glass, They Are Stations of Awakening!
Yes, I know. I credit the game for the Stations of Awakening design in most, if not all, of my designs.
For those of you that don't know what a Station of Awakening is, follow this link to the Kingdom Hearts Wiki: [link]


7:bulletred: Who Is This Character You Featured?
Please read my artist's comments.

8:bulletorange: How Do You Make Your Stained Glass Pictures?/What Program Do You Use?/How do you get that stained glass effect?
I use Photoshop SC4. I either find coloring pages of existing characters or I make line arts of my own. Then I put them all together on one of my templates [link] and color them like in my coloring tutorial: [link] The texture comes from using a brush in this set: [link]
As for the vectors, I found this tutorial very helpful: [link]


9:bulletyellow: Are You Still Selling Pony Swag?/How Much is Pony Swag?
No. As part of Hasbro's mass culling of fan-made MLP stuff, they have asked Etsy etc to take down all my pony-related listings. I'm exploring my options at this point. Nothing is official as of yet.

10:bulletgreen: How Do I Pay?
Paypal. TheFairyLady@hotmail.com

11:bulletblue: Can I Get a Commission as Swag?
If you got the commission from me, yes. You are the only one who can order it as Swag, too. Unless you give me permission otherwise.

12:bulletpurple: OMG Pony Stained Glass COINS! I Want One! Can I Buy One? Are you going to make more designs into coins?
Coin FAQ: [link]

13:bulletred: OMG Read My Fanfic Plz!
Please do not take this personally, but I DO NOT read fan fictions. I can barely get myself to finish the books they are based on. I'm really not much of a reader. I'm more of a video/visual person.

14:bulletorange: Best Pony?
Princess Luna

15:bulletyellow: Hey! You Forgot Something You Were Going to Do For Me!
Gently remind me in a note please! I don't mean to be forgetful!

16:bulletgreen: Hey! You Should Send These to Lauren Faust For Her to See!
I believe she has already seen at least one of my designs. I was told she even signed it for the lucky Brony! (It was the 'Fausticorn' design!)

17:bulletblue: You Can't Really Consider Yourself a Brony if You're a Girl, Can You?
Even though I am a 25-year-old feminine woman, I still consider myself a Brony. Only for the simple reason of: Normally, I would not watch a show meant for little girls. Meant for little boys, yes, because seriously, who DOESN'T like Duck Tales or Gargoyles? Come on. And I watch Disney movies regularly because they are family films, which means adults can find things to enjoy about them as much as little kids can. But shows meant for little girls never tickled my fancy. Until Friendship is Magic came along.

18:bulletpurple: Are You Going to Make Bigger Line Arts for the Disney Princess Designs?
Yes, in due time. I have to make them from scratch, and it takes me a few days to complete one! And that's during the time when I have no life!

Thank you.

Kickstarter Backers-

Journal Entry: Fri May 17, 2013, 11:35 AM


:iconakili-amethyst:



A lot of you have been sending me messages asking for updates on the Friendship is Magic/Fausticorn coins. Apologies for the wait. My partner said he was going to send another mass email with a list of those we received addresses from. I've been reminding him for weeks, but he still hasn't done it. I'm going to strangle him.

I'm so sorry guys. You deserve an update. All I can say is that I have received 431 emails with addresses so far. I'm working on the prints, but there's this giant streak on one side of the printer that won't work. I'm looking to get it replaced. The coins are here in my apartment, waiting to be shipped. My goal is to send them all out before June.

Honestly, I can send some out faster if you ordered just the coin(s) and don't care to have the Fausticorn print. If you would like that option, please shoot me an email with the following:
-Title the email "Print-less Coins" so that if it accidentally ends up in my junk folder, I don't delete it thinking it's a virus.
-Your kickstarter user name
-Your address the way it would be written on an envelope
This only helps me get your coins out faster if you did not order an FiM print or more as well. It would be far too complicated to send out your coins and prints separately.

Thank you for your patience,
-Akili

Hi Akili-Amethyst,

Just wondering about any updates on the Twilight-Celestia coins from your previous KickStarter? I sent my details as instructed on 17 April to your Hotmail address, but never heard anything back.

I'd like to ask the same thing. It's been a month now and I haven't received anything. I am in the UK though, but it's taking a long time to get here...
