The Slowyore hunt has now started. Still taking shiny slots for Slowyore, also taking orders for my next shiny hunt, Shellder.

Remember to read the rules before ordering, thanks.

Those are fantastic, thank you. I already have an idea for the "not totally human barber". With the oldest living tree though, I seem to be getting conflicting answers, could you link me a picture of it?

Thanks LuluQuagsire, I'm adding those suggestions to the main post. For scenic, I was thinking more of landscapes, like a mountain range, or a seaside for example, but I can definitely work that with your idea.



It would be great if I could get a suggestion for each section by New Years, because then I will have a full week of things to draw.

I'm going into town tomorrow to get some card to make some sketch blocks, I'm making one for each topic. I'll post photos when I'm done.

So, I have set myself a goal for next year to improve my art. I have decided to do 1 page of my sketch book each day next year. In order to be able to evaluate my improvement, I have set 7 different categories, and I will do a different category on each day of the week. This means that by the end of the year I will have 52 pieces of art from each category, which hopefully will be enough to see some sort of improvement. I'm also hoping that it will help me to develop a personal style. I'll be using a variety of media, depending on how much time I have in the day, and what I feel like. It will likely be mostly pencil, but I'm also hoping to experiment with water-colour, pastels and brush-pens. If you have any other media you like using, feel free to suggest it and I'll probably give it a go at some point. I love trying out new things.

So, here's how you can help. Firstly, check out the categories below and suggest some things for me to draw from them. You can be as specific as you like, try not to be too vague. For example, don't just say 'flower' for the plants category, be more specific, like 'rose' or 'daisy'. Please see my list of things I won't draw before suggesting anything.

Next, once I start posting the art, please critique it. Tell me the things that don't look right or that could be done differently. Suggest areas I need to work on. Again, please be specific.
Example of an unhelpful comment: "That dog looks weird."
Example of a helpful comment: "The back leg doesn't quite look right, try putting the knee joint higher."

I'm also including a little side project. While my daily drawing will all be traditional, I'd also like to improve with my digital art. So I'm going to be working on a large piece of digital art over the year. It will have lots of different details and techniques. I'll post updates on the art here, and plan to keep working on it all 2017. Although it's not completely planned yet, my general idea is of a magical woodland scene, with a bit of kiwiana thrown in. So when I do post updates, please throw me as many critiques, suggestions, ideas, techniques as you can think of. Once it is finished, I will get it printed professionally for my nieces and nephew, so if you think something looks wrong, please tell me, I can't fix it if I don't know it needs fixing.

Yes, 230 gems is correct. Your order is accepted. I have to go out soon, and as your order is a big one I'll need to do it when I get back, so there might be a delay of a few hours.

Sorry, the prices are set. If I gave you a discount it would be unfair to the others who have bought booster packs. Also, is there a reason your username doesn't match the one on the form?

Hi ~Ran,

Display Servicing is when I add your current stamps to Display Cards, so if you don't get a display card I can't service it.

I apologize if that was confusing, I'll try and re-word the first post to make it more clear.

Apart from that, your order is accepted. Please send the gems for the booster pack and I will PM your stamps.

Hi there, and welcome to my shop for collectible stamps. Here I exchange my collectible stamps for Normal Gems. What are collectible stamps I hear you ask? Well, let me show you.



You see, once people receive a letter, the postage stamp can't be used again, but they are such pretty things that some of us like to collect them. Maybe one day someone will collect them all!

That would be pretty impressive though, after all there stamps for every single pokemon. You can get Normal or Shiny pokemon and Portrait or Landscape orientation. Stamps also come in 3 different types: Regular, Gold and Platinum. This means that for every 1 pokemon, there are 12 different varieties. For example, here are all the Hoothoot stamp varieties:



So, are you interested in becoming a collector? Great! Well, before I show you what we offer here, I just need you to have a look at the rules.



Show hidden content
-Yes, all the prices are in Normal Gems. That is my choice. Please don't ask to pay another way, the answer will be no.

- Once your order is accepted I will ask you to send the gems. Once I receive the gems I will send your order via PM.

- Do not send any gems before I accept your order. Any gems sent before your order is accepted will be considered a gift. This is your only warning.

- Do not use stamp images that are not yours.

- Do not alter the stamp images in any way.

- If you are ordering display servicing, please include a link to a post with your stamps. Images are not required, just names are fine, but please ensure all of the relevant information is present, (normal/shiny, portrait/landscape, regular/gold/platinum).

- Use the form correctly.

- Be patient. I will get to your order as soon as possible.

Ok, now that the rules are out of the way, I bet you want to get your hands on some stamps, right? I currently have 100 different stamp designs, and more will be added each week. I seal them away in little bags so it's always a surprise what you are going to get. I think it's more fun that way! Well, go ahead and pick out some packs, just remember to fill in the form near the bottom of this post.

Single Pack (1 Stamp) - 2 normal gems
Booster Pack (10 Stamps) - 18 normal gems
Starter Pack (50 Stamps) - 80 normal gems





Show hidden content
Please note, this is now done monthly, I just haven't had time to change the sign yet.
Each month I get in a new lot of stamp designs, and each month I choose one of those designs to have as my stamp of the week. The availability and cost varies with rarity, so you have to be in quick for these ones. The benefit is you get to see exactly what you're buying. This month the stamp is...



Ampharos – Normal, Regular, Landscape
Cost - 4 Normal Gems
Available - 20





Show hidden content
Now that you have some stamps, I bet you're trying to think of a way to display them and keep them safe, right? Well, I can help you with that. Let me show you our stamp display cards. Each card has room for 24 stamps; 12 landscape and 12 portrait. You can choose from any one of our current designs. Once you have purchased a particular design, you can use it as many times as you like.

For a small fee, we will even put all your stamps onto the card for you, you just need to provide a link to which stamps you want on your card, and tell me how you want them arranged. If you purchase a stamp display card, you get your first service for free! Just remember to use the form please, it's at the bottom of this post.

Vintage Card:



Pikachu Card:



Kanto Starter Card:


Display Cards: 15 Normal Gems per design.

Servicing: Free with purchase of a display card or 5 normal gems.

Hmm, I see you're having a look at the benefits of becoming a member of the Star Club. This club for serious collectors was started so long ago, we've quite forgotten what Star even stands for (though we're pretty sure the S is for Stamp...). Well, it is pretty impressive so if you're wanting to get serious about collecting then this is the way to go. It saves you heaps in the long run, plus you get all these cool benefits.

Benefits:
- 1 Booster Pack per week for a month.
- 1 Starter Pack with 2 guaranteed Platinum Stamps.
- Increased chance of rare stamps.
- 2 Stamp Display Cards.
- Free Display Card Servicing for a month.
- Collector Exclusive Display Card Animation.
- 10 Entries per week into the weekly draw for a month.

Cost: 150 normal gems per month



All of this for just 150 normal gems! It's a real bargain! If you want to be a member of the Star Club for a month, just fill out the section of the form below.

Please note, this is now done monthly, I just haven't had time to change the sign yet.
Wouldn't it be cool to have a say in the new stamps that come out each month? Well, now you can! Each month I randomly chose some new pokemon to make stamps of, using a random pokemon generator. From now on though, one lucky user will get to chose one of the pokemon that I do, and they will get a gold version of that stamp for free!

Everyone who buys any stamps from the 1st of the month to the 25th goes in the draw, with a new winner each month. The more stamps you buy, the more entries you get. So if you buy a starter pack, you get 50 entries!

If you are a member of the Star Club, your weekly booster packs will count for this, so you automatically get 40 entries each month. For more information on Star Club benefits, see the spoiler above.




Show hidden content
Instead of having several different forms, which can be tedious if you are ordering lots of different items, I just have the one form. If you don't want to order something on the form, simply write "no" next to it. (see example)

If you are ordering display servicing, please include a link to a post with your stamps. Images are not required, just names are fine, but please ensure all of the relevant information is present, (normal/shiny, portrait/landscape, regular/gold/platinum). You can also tell me how you want them arranged, or I will decide for you.

If you are becoming a Star Club Member, please also fill out the display card and servicing sections.
