Hey all! Just me again. I remake this shop every year as the forums won't let me edit posts after 90 days, and I am always improving my shop and art for you guys. This is the easiest way I've found to keep things up to date. Onto the art! What: I'll draw pretty much anything you'd like me to, within reason. Event banners, desktop backgrounds, personal pieces- but my main focus is forum avatars. How: Generally, the process works like this- You, the awesome pirate with the awesome idea, posts here or PMs me with the form below. Once I review the order, I'll add you to my queue, which you can see at the end of each of my posts. Once it's your turn, a sketch will be posted here, or PM'd for private orders, for your approval. Then, on the following weekend, I'll start on your piece, which you can watch live on [Twitch]. Then, once I'm finished, I'll post it here, or to PMs for private orders, for pickup. After that, I'll add you to my payment queue- until you find me in-game to discuss or deliver payment. More on payment and twitch later. When: I draw mainly on weekends only. Generally, weekend mornings starting sometime between 6am and 9am YPP-time (PST). This means I will get 1-2 pieces done per week, depending on complexity. Why: Because you guys are awesome! No, really. Your encouragement in me developing my art seven years ago has lead me to getting a minor in Studio Arts , and improve in ways I didn't think I was capable of. So I want to continue improving, and continue giving back to this amazing community. Alright Cattrin enough sap, I'm here for art. How to Order First, pick a style from the below numbers: 1.) "My Pirate Doing X"      [larger] 2.) "Screenprint-y"    [larger]3.) "Super Extra Cute"    [larger]4.) "Pirate Perspective"     [larger][youtube banner example] [desktop background example] [rough chronological collection of past pieces] Next, fill out this form, and include the number you'd like in the "description" category.
Then, either post it here, or PM me privately. That's it! Payment: I draw things for tips on all oceans! To get an idea of what people generally tip, please see [this anonymous tip log]. These are for typical avatar-sized orders. If you are ordering something larger, please take that into consideration when planning a payment. I'd strongly prefer you to choose a place and time for me to meet you. Twitch: I stream every public order live on Twitch! [Here is my channel, you can follow me to get updates when I go live.] I don't do anything fancy- just draw, listen to some music, and chat with you guys in the comments. :) Happy 2018 Everyone! ---------------------------------------- Cattrin of Cerulean Avatar by Apollo (we miss you :c), Blakbead, Angelira, Coriander, and Accelerator!

Mmm new thread smell.  This'll be a two-dayer, at least. We'll see how far I get tomorrow. Today's work is done!  [full size] [video 1][video 2] Since it's on the larger side, it's going to take a couple days to get the lines done. But I got a good chunk done today, so take a look, let me know how you think it's coming. :) The stream had a bit of a hiccup towards the end, so there's two separate videos for today.

Alright, here's a Sunday update for Jazz:  [full size] [recordings] I'm just going to link to my channel for now because we're getting to have quite a few videos for this one- mostly because my internet has been hiccup-y. Some of the shadows are done now! Not all of them, and no highlights yet, but we'll get there next weekend. I hope you like how it's coming!

We're getting closer to being done with this larger order!  Pretty sure I'll be finishing it up tomorrow morning, so look out for the last stream on this one then. :) Queue: Jazz Private order Private order Private order The private orders are all from different pirates- when I get PM's I leave off the name until I confirm with them if it's a secret or not.

It's done! Here's Jazz's banner:  [full size] [the stream had 9 parts, so I'm just going to link to my general channel and you can watch from there if interested] In the end I decided to keep the left side tree-free. There's already a lot going on there to begin with. I also kept the notice board simple so that it didn't make anything you wanted to layer over it too hard to read. I hope you like it! I think it turned out nice. :) Stay tuned for sketches for upcoming avatars! These next orders are all shorter-form, day-or-two avatars.

Here's some sketches for upcoming avatars!: Filthyjake:  I worked off your idea of a disappointed owl like a corncob, but added a blight. The background will be empty cornstalks looking sickly. Salacious:  It's hard to show exactly what this will look like, since it'll be at night, so I tried to make the lighting a little reflective of what I'm trying for! A lot of the details of the image will be in shadow due to that. Please let me know if you'd like any adjustments made, or otherwise what you guys think. :) I unfortunately have no time this weekend due to the holiday, but I'll be able to get both of these done next weekend.
Thank you! I like the way it turned out- but also reminded me of how much fun it was to do portrait backgrounds, and now I wish the contests were still open. :P Queue: Filthyjake Salacious Symbiotic Waiting for payment: Kole Mikipiki Vettias Cannonmanry ---------------------------------------- Cattrin of Cerulean Avatar by Apollo (we miss you :c), Blakbead, Angelira, Coriander, and Accelerator!

Here's some sketches! Symbiotic:  The spiderweb in the background will look more like the navigation board I swear... Natedawg:  I decided against having your hook raised, only to avoid possible misrepresentations of offensive gestures due to lack of fingers pointing... Background will be a nice ship scene. Let me know if you'd like anything changed, or what you think! On Saturday morning I'll be doing Symbiotic's, and Sunday Natedawg's. :) Queue: Salacious Symbiotic Natedawg Waiting for payment: Filthyjake Kole Mikipiki Vettias Cannonmanry ---------------------------------------- Cattrin of Cerulean Avatar by Apollo (we miss you :c), Blakbead, Angelira, Coriander, and Accelerator!

Here's Symbiotic's:    [video] I hope you like it! You said to have the name in the lower left, but that would block one of the hands. Is upper right okay?

Could you create a stall with a chest that people can put moneys in or maybe a ship people can hop on by messaging crewmates?

Could you (and anyone else looking to find me!) please PM me on the forums here or my discord (Katydid#7606) with when you're usually around? I am not on most times other than weekend mornings, so it would be best if you tell me so I can find you instead. ---------------------------------------- Cattrin of Cerulean Avatar by Apollo (we miss you :c), Blakbead, Angelira, Coriander, and Accelerator!

Hey guys! So, my next few weekends are a little odd. This weekend I'm visiting family. Next weekend and the weekend after I'll be out of the country and/or recovering from jetlag. I'm going to try to draw some leading up to my trip on weekdays. At the very least I'll be able to get some sketches out, but I hope to be able to do more. :) Sorry for the wait!

Alright, I've got a sketch! Squishat:  Do you have a preference for the color of the octo? I just went with tan as it was what was in the reference. Since octopus produce ink from a feature that YPP-style octos don't appear to have, I've decided instead to have him collected a bit of it in his arm to dip into. Let me know what you think! Working on more sketches to hopefully have for you guys tomorrow. ---------------------------------------- Cattrin of Cerulean Avatar by Apollo (we miss you :c), Blakbead, Angelira, Coriander, and Accelerator!

Waiting on a reply from Squishat about how to finish this up:   But for now here it is. :) Also a couple sketches for Pika: More normal:  More surreal because that hairdo is cool:  The "snowbanks" will be piles of coins. Please let me know which you prefer! This weekend is Mother's Day, so I will be back next weekend for your regularly scheduled art. :) Queue: Squishat Pika Empresstamar ---------------------------------------- Cattrin of Cerulean Avatar by Apollo (we miss you :c), Blakbead, Angelira, Coriander, and Accelerator!
