Hello, and welcome to my art and animation shop! Here you may make requests for traditional or digital art. I prefer to make HTTYD fan art, but I am also happy to try other requests as well. Each clan member is welcome to make as many requests as they wish but priority will go to new requesters. Time to complete an order will vary, but usually takes at least a week per person for more complicated orders.

Subject(s) Description: Describe the character's appearance and personality in as much detail as you can. Please include body type, face shape, eye color, skin color, etc. If no body or face discription is provided, Viking bases will be Hiccup or Astrid and main dragon's will be copies of the Hero's dragons.
Pose(s): Do you have a specific pose and/or facial expression you would like? Please describe it here.
Background: Would you like a background for your image? If yes, please describe or provide the image. If not, I will default to Transparancy.

Pose(s): Whatever inspires you!
Background: None
Effect(s): No special Effects
Text/Font: None
Animated: None
Line Style (Choose one): No Lines, Thin-Lined, Thick-lined : Thick-lines, I guess? The style of your other Pollen-Puffers
Shading Style (Choose one): Line-Art Only, Realistic, Smooth, Sharp: Sames as your other Pollen-Puffers
Color/BW: Color!
Reference(s): I would treat the Pollen-Puffer as an adopted dragon, so I'll make a story for it .... eventually. In the meantime it can live in my siggie.
So I was thinking the flower it could mimic might be a Starry Saxifage (Saxifraga stellaris) [Wiki Link]? Its a cold-climate flower occuring in Scandinavia, among other places.
Additional photos:

If I understand correctly, the reddish-wine colored center is its "fruit" or seed-bearing section, that turns dark red as it matures. It'd be great to get that red color on the Pollen Puffer also, but whatever you come up with would be absolutely fantastic! :D
Sorry for the long wait, Lady Brasa. I finally have something done. =) If it's not all you were hoping for, please let me know how I can fix or improve on it, even if it means drawing it over again. (For example, if you wanted the flower petals to be markings on its heads and wings, rather than a frill.)
Please let me know what you think. =)
No, he is wonderful! Quite the grumpy-looking fellow! Or perhaps "prickly" is a better word. Which is absolutely fine :)
Your art is awesome!
He's going in my siggie for now, but someday, he'll have a story with a Viking of his own. It'll be a long while - been amassing great adoptables from all over the forum, and my little weeny bit of creativity and time has been sucked dry trying to thing of and write stories. This is also why I have barely been on the game or also on the RP :( :( :( It seems I can't even manage my free time well!!!!
((Edit: I realized that I wrote a new post instead of replying to the shop one. My apologies for messing with the organization of things.))
((Mar: I love how you set this up! I *might* open a shop sometime this spring))
I don't suppose you could make a Viking and Dragon edit of Eslig and Ambolt? If not, just a Nadder colored to look like Ambolt would be amazing.
I'll have a go at filling out the form, but I'll admit I don't entirely know what to put in all of the areas. I know so little about digital art I'll let you do whatever is easiest.
Subject's decripition: Eslig and his faithful Nadder, Ambolt (or just Ambolt if adding Eslig is too difficult)
Pose(s): No prefrence, perferrably flying but I don't really care
Background: Up to you.
Effects: N/A
Text/Font: None?
Reference(s): Siggy for colors and a couple images, let me know if there is a screenshot or alternate pose that you need. I've taken dozens of screenshots of Ambolt so if you need anything just let me know.
I finished your request! Please let me know if you would like anything adjusted or changed. =)

That's amazing! Sorry it took so long for me to see this.
One request: Could you make the underside of Ambolt's wings a pink/white mash up? I'll try and find a good picture for reference, I've got a lot of screenshots. Also, how hard would it be to turn Ambolt's talons pink like the rest of him? You've done some amazing work here!
Here's a decent look at the underside of Ambolt's wings.

CLAN MEMBER CARDS
TO NOTE:
* Cards will take a few days to complete.
* There will be a white background due to the rounded "card" edges and shadow effect. This will not pose a problem on the SOD Forums, since the default background color is white.
TO ORDER:
* Please post the following information at the Order Desk (separate Post below). If there is any info you don't want posted directly in this thread, please feel free to PM me!
1) Full character name. This would include a first and last name, patro/matronym, or byname.
(Example of a patronym is Eret Eretsson, i.e. "Eret Son of Eret" or Leif Eriksson "Leif Son of Erik". the -sson/-ssen is for males, and -dottir is for females)
Byname is a nickname. Example: Gobber the Belch or Silent Sven
2) A bust photo of your in-game character.
I've found the best shot is from the Journal when you are going to change clothes for items such as helmets or masks. It seems the brightest and simplest there. You may crop the photo yourself, or I can do it. Its best to leave me a little wiggle room so I have space to adjust if needed to fit it on the card.
3) An Address to include the name of your domicile. It can be your stables, Farm, another home, or in the case of Eira, a tree :D The actual address with zipcode is completely made up. 10010 zip code is actually for New York, NY. Please do not give me your real life zip code!! If you want to lend a little bit of authenticity, Sweden has five-digit zip codes. (Other Scandinavian countries only have 4-digit codes). As far as location, it can be School Island, Berk, or whereever you'd like.
4) If you don't like the part "Clan Diety Sponser: Jorth" I can change it to something of your choosing.
5) Please give me either the date you joined SOD or the date you joined Earthguard. I personally used the SOD join date because I didn't know when exactly I joined Earthguard :( Your SOD join date is the hatch date of your very first dragon. Note: I'm not sure if this holds with the new beginning sequence in the game.

MORE ITEM(S) COMING!
(At some point ...)
PLEASE REPLY TO THIS POST TO ORDER AN ITEM FROM
Lady Brasa's Clan Shoppe!
(: THANK YOU :)
Hey Brasa, I'd also like to have one of your clan member cards :-) I had to think about a surname for Rue first, but now I've found one that I like :-)
Name: Rubinesse Bergström (please tell me if it's too long to fit on the card, then I'll come up with a shorter surname)
Foto: (left you some space on each side)
Adress:
44, farmlands
Berk, BK 10 000
(in case you need another line, you could add like "Last house before the forest starts" or something like that on top of the address :-)
Earthguard join date was about: 12/15/2015
Thank you!! :-)
Hey Rue, I'm so sorry! I saw your request - at work - and then forgot :(
Here it is:
Let me know if anything is not to your liking. You mentioned adding something like "Last house before the forest starts", so I came up with "House at Forest's Edge". I can change it to whatever you want, though!
Please copy the image to your photo storage. If you don't have one, don't get one just for the card. I can keep it up on mine. I'm no where near exausting my storage space yet, so its fine if you link to it :)
Also sorry, but the font I used doesn't seem to have an option for the two dots above the O in Bergstrom. If needed, I can see if I can free hand them in there.
Yey, coool! Thank you!! :-))
I like it!
I really like "house at forest's edge" and Bergstrom without the two points is fine as well.
Ah, no, I don't have my own online photo storage... I don't even know exactly how this works :-/ I'd be glad if you can keep it in yours. And then, I get a link from there which allows me to add the card to my signature? I'm kind of a noob when it comes to these things :-)
Not a problem! So you will put it in your siggie the same way you put the clan banner there. Depending on what kind of computer you are using: right click on the image. There should be something like "copy image location" on the menu that pops up. Then go to the edit tab under your account to edit your siggie. Click on the little picture icon and paste the image URL in the URL box. Adjust the picture size as you like, and save!
there are threads out there with pics on how to do it, but I can't easily post them here on my phone. Let me know if you would like links and I'll get to my computer later.
Ahh, thank you! This was much easier than I expected :-) I got it!
I already knew how to upload a picture from my computer via imgur for example, that's what I did with the clan banner: it let me download it somehow and then I uploaded it again... But this is so much easier! :-D

FAQ:
For Shoppers:
What is this thread about?
This thread is a place where Earthguard members come together to make and share art, writing, and other creative works. Some may offer create art for Earthguard clan members or even Vikings outside our clan.
I am not a part of Earthguard. Can I make a request anyway?
Some artists work exclusively for fellow clan members, but others are happy to work for all Vikings. Check each shop to see if they are exclusive or not.
How do I know if a Shop Owner is taking requests?
Each Shop Owner should have a section in their post indicating their open or closed status. If they are "Open" then they are taking requests. If they are "Closed" then they are not.
For Potential Earthguardian Shop Owners:
How do I start a shop?
You may create one or more "Do Not Reply" posts which include your Open/Closed Status, a discription of what you make, examples of what you make, and any other information you see fit. After that, you may create one Reply post, which Vikings will reply to in order to make requests. Once you are ready, I will add a link to your main Shop post on the thread's Shop List.
What if I decide I no longer want to run a shop?
If the time comes, just let me know. I will remove your from the Shop List. Don't forget to change your status to "Closed" in your own shop.
Somebody replied directly to my Shop and now it is locked! What now?
How very unfortunate! If you would like to continue to run a shop, please make a new Shop Post and I will update the Shop List accordingly.
I have more questions!
That's okay! Feel free to ask your questions HERE.
