General Guidelines

+ Your sig will be as good as the stock you give us, plain and simple. If you give a shitty stock, you are most likely going to get a shitty signature. What's the difference? It's better to give this, than this. So when choosing a stock, pick something that is as clear, sharp, and large as possible.

+ Be patient, your request will get done. Some are finished in 10 minutes, others are finished in 10 days. We will try our best to get the job done well and quickly but we also have lives outside the shop and you should observe and respect this.

+ Do not ask for more than 2 stocks to be included in a tag, any more and the tag will be a nightmare.

+ We do not tolerate flaming or other malicious behavior, keep it cool, language is fair game but ranting/bashing/harassing is not encouraged, know the rules. If you are waiting for a request and triple post begging for results you can kiss your tag goodbye.

+ There may be times where we stray a little from the color scheme or size requested, we apologize, and with all due respect the result ended up better suited and we only wish for your understanding

+ We request you leave a window of at least 14 days between requesting signatures. We take pride in our work and would like to see yourself and the KHInsider community enjoy it before asking for another.

+ Do not post a request in multiple shops and expect to pick your favorite. This is an insult to the artists and a waste of their time. If you are caught doing so your request will be trashed.

+ If you really can't choose an artist and say "anyone", please allow at least 3 days for someone to pick it up before re-posting.

+ If after 3 days you have not seen the artist acknowledge your request, send them the request template quoted from the post in a private message with the title, "SDD Shop Request".

The Customer Template

Artist: state the artist who you would like to handle your request, we strongly suggest you choose someone rather than say "anyone" as history has shown, requests that don't specify an artist are usually finished last or forgotten all together.
Style: if the artist has outlined any specific styles they have in the blog, you may request it to be used.
Stock(s): give a url of one or two images you would to be used in your signature, if you don't know how to do so just ask, we would be happy to assist.
Size: default size is 400x150 which looks like this.
Color(s): Choose at least one color, max three that you would like to have as the overall theme of the signature
Text: Clearly type exactly what you would like to be included somewhere in the sig, keep it short to at the max 5 words, any more and it will be a distraction, please know that you do not have to include text, it is completely optional
Avatar: yes or no answer here, yes gets you a small cutout of the sig to put as your avatar under your name
Other: anything else not outlined above

=P I wasn't in the mood for asking a new tag, but seeing this shop come back changed my mind.

[iProd]

Zoo: I must've screwed up Royally this morning. I forgot to add, some of your works to the family template, the first post has been edited. Could you add it and some of your work to your template Zook? Also, w00t for first customer!

Hades: I'd like to get this one done, but I got the 404 D:

That should work.

check my sig. most recent is to the left.

[Veritas]

Username: Look to the left......
Preferred Nickname: Veritas.
Why you want to join?: I can never find a reason to do graphics after my hiatus. Requests will help me get used to doing them again by giving me challenges and forcing me to do tags.
What inspires you?: Almost everything. Music, books, photos, and others.
What program you use: CS3
A quote from you: "Balls."
Examples of your work:

[iProd]

I'm liking the development already, welcome to the family Zook and Veritas. Hades, thats just fine, I'll get to work on it asap after Zook's.

[Eli]

I doubt i'll get any requests with such talent here, oh well...
Username: Eliwood
Preferred Nickname: Eli
Why you want to join?: Hopefully, i'll gain experience and inspiration.
What inspires you?: Music, Photography.
What program you use: Cs2
A quote from you: "Pooooooooooooooooooooo."
Examples of your work:

[Ubiquity]

Username: Shadalicious Reminisce

Preferred Nickname:
Shad, or Tav

Why you want to join?:
Umm hello, cause I got into GFX, and KenT's dream isn't shared by just him. Inspiration is the real reason.

What inspires you?:
Original Inspire. Life itself and the notion that I have a place in this world and existing inspires me....yet also the fact that I strive to get better. I already pwn at role play and writing(lulz), so I might as well get good in this area too.

What program you use:
(Cs3)

A quote from you:
It should be obvious that I don't look inside, or outside of the box. I continue to think around the box. Reason for being, the longer you look, eventually you'll find the crate behind the box, where you can find inspiration.

Examples of your work:
lulz if you don't know by now....

[iProd]

Nice =) Welcome to The Family.

Eli: I believe in expression, excelling, and giving people the opportunity to do both. The spiral is significant of climbing the latter, ;) I'm sure I'll see some great things from you Eli.

Shad: Of course, you know it all too well, the same I told Eli, you've got the opportunity as well.

The Message, has been added to the first post.

Yay, I feel the bond already, but that is probably because of another reason altogether. Xelhes, you knew I did GFX we even talked about it on yahoo. You have no memory....I swear
