First and foremost, this stuff's all Assassin's Creed influenced and I'm not going to change that. If you have a problem with this, since it's caused me grief in the past, hit your back button now.

• Payment would be done either in one bulk payment for the art of 1k CSC, a combination of CSC/WL/items OR 500CSC and an automatic slot for the item.
• You'd be in for the whole deal: full functioning HA overlays (correct format for submission, etc) and CIs for.

Now onto the items!

Item One: Charismatic Ottoman Headband (take two!)

Apparently, pinged me a while ago about this being a WIP she's working on? And Subeta never decided to give me the alert. Oops.

Item Two: A mosque/Hagia Sophia-esque background. NOTE: I'm not sure how this one'll go or turn out. I know there's a Parisian background and one based off Venice so I'm hoping that one based off a medieval-looking Istanbul will be acceptable.

This is a very iffy idea at the moment since someone may take severe umbridge at this and since Subeta already has a background (that needs revamped badly) that this could be considered a "rip off" of though the existing item (Temple Playset) resembles more of the real life, Dome on the Rock instead of a Muslim mosque.

The general premise: Since this one's bound to be touchy and I know something of the ideals of Islam, let me explain a few things before I'm asked...

• This background should NOT depict any of the interior of the mosque itself. Just to avoid the part of Islam that forbids human portraits in mosques. This one's important - I'd like it to be something that there's a visible mosque in the background, like a skyline of the would be Istanbul. I will also forever love you if you figure out how to make a skyline depicting both a mosque similiar and have something like the Galata tower in the far background.

Item MUST have something of the following:

• A skyline punctuated by either something like a mosque AND the would-be Galata Tower. Preferably at dusk.
• A crescent moon in some part of the sky.
• Visible seagulls for the insinuation of it being actually at around the bay in Istanbul. (Google "Golden Horn" if you must.)

[edit]I would prefer it to be close to something like this if possible. c:

pickypickypicky That was a long post!

TL;DR: I'd like to try again for a wig and an Istanbul background! The details are up above!

Please ping me for my attention. c:

I thought you said you might be doing the Yusuf Tazim hair?

Also the Istanbul background sounds nice xD I thought you meant it'd turn out something like THIS or THIS, in which case I might be interested in a copy p: Otherwise I normally I don't use backgrounds p: I'd help draw but I've never done a background before so I don't even know where to start :c

Yes, actually I was working on it... But if Yusuf wants full control over it, then I guess I won't be doing it?

See, she's working on it 8D I actually saw her respond, saying she'd do it on the small-talk board the other week :B If you just want one copy I actually think it'd work in your favor just to buy from her? Or if you want multiple copies are you doing more than one slot for the wig per user?

I'd really like to do this wig. I wanted to do it before, but another user had started before me and I thought that was just rude of me to do another version. But like I said though, it seems Yusuf wants control over the item, so I guess I'm not doing it? Since Yusuf was the first person to really show great interest in it, I guess that kind of leaves me SOL. I don't want to make it and be offensive when they seem to have specific plans for it, you know?

Nobody ever tells me these things.

expectant look at Mels If you're doing it... I can be less picky or...?

I can back her up on this, she really did reply to you on the small talk board 8'D I found her reply to you: SEE. c: I'll let you guys work the details out 8'D

I don't want to just take the project from you. Obviously this item means more to you than me, I mean... Your username. Lol I can do it if you'd like, and I'd really love to. I wouldn't even mind showing WIPs and stuff, because I feel like your opinion would make the item better. But personally, I'd rather have control over the batches. If you'd like to make it a single batch commission, we could do 400 csc as a price, and you buy your own slot at the normal 600 csc? Or, if you don't care if it gets more interest / more batches sell, then you'd just buy your own slot?

If you'd prefer another artist to do it, that's cool too. I wouldn't be mad, honestly =P But I would /love/ if you could reserve a slot for me and my boyfriend, because chances are we'd really want to have it. xDD

It never came up as an event like it should! Wow, I was not expecting that.

I feel like an idiot. XDD

[edit] It's my fault for not checking, it's up to you what you do with it since you already started, I'm not really fussed about that so much as I am that I didn't see your post about it.

Can I see the wip? I'm not sure if I'd have any suggestions but I may one day extend my love for Ezio to Yusuf. Who knows. 8'D

I think it best to let Mels work, don't you?

Having her sell it is the most cost-effective for you. If you only want one, or a few versions of this item then you can just order from her for 600csc each. She even said if you wanted the item to be a single-batch release, she would do that for you as long as she was the one who sold and you added 400CSC commission cost to the 600CSC you paid for the item. So basically either

1. She sells, you pay 600CSC for your own item, and she releases however many batches fill up or
2. She sells, you pay 600CSC for your own item + 400csc for the commission, and she only releases 1 batch

Either way, I knew you both were interested in the item, which was why I was surprised you didn't know she agreed to work with you on the item xD

... Oh. It's her stuff and I missed the initial ping apparently discussing this so, what say have I now? coughs I'll just do it the normal way.

did you still want to have full rights over selling the CW? From what I understand if you want the right to sell, then she won't be doing the item and you'd have to find another artist?

Technically you have some say in how the item turns out because she offered to show you the WIP (the work-in-progress), so that if you have any ideas on how to tweak something you can give her a heads up before the item is finalized. It's up to you really. If you want to find someone to draw the item for you, so you can sell, she said she wouldn't do a second Yusuf wig and would like to reserve two slots from you instead. xD

If you let her sell, then she's already working on the wig so yea... xD

On the first, I caught that part.

On the second, I'd already given up if she's doing one? I don't seem to have that much luck with interest in my CW ideas anyways.

hugs At least you'll be getting Yusuf hair, and that's what matters right? Plus I feel like Mels will do a great job ❤ If I knew how to draw hair and backgrounds, I'd definitely try to help you out, but those are seriously the two things I can't drawn :c

hugs back

Yeah, so yay, Yusuf!poofy hair. c:

I really would like to have a background that does look like the Istanbul skyline, but as you just said, that's one thing you can't draw. (Which is better off than I am - I can't draw period.)

I'll show both of you WIPs and I want both of your opinions as I go. I should have WIPs tonight or tomorrow for both of you. Showing you WIPs will not cost anything extra, just so you know. xD It's free to help me. lol And Yusuf, if you decide that after my initial sketch you don't like it, you're still free to tell me you'd prefer another user to do it. =P

Ouuu, I look forward to these WIPs then. c: Hopefully, all goes well.
