I think most artists know what ATC/ACEOs are (artist trading cards, or art card editions and originals, usually the second term is used more if they're for sale, and the first for trading only.)
They're small 2.5x3.5" pieces of paper with original art (or some artists do prints in that size, particularly if they're more digital.) I'm quite fond of it since I like to work small anyway and it takes me forever to do anything large. They're usually mailed, but I don't think they have to be.

Just wondering if anyone was interested. I'm a little busy with commissions right now, but wanted to see about this for later.

This is my DA gallery of just ATCs (view the rest of my gallery for more art samples): http://kitsune-rei.deviantart.com/gallery/10177673

This is what I'm usually looking for: http://kitsune-rei.livejournal.com/434422.html
(I also have another new character I'm working on finishing the design for.)

I generally like to draw cute stuff, in an animeish or furry style. I also enjoy doing Pokemon or some other kinds of fanart. I do OCs, Gaia and other avatars, game characters, furries, fantasy, whatever.



Also, this thread isn't just to trade with me, feel free to use it to trade with each other. I won't feel bad if you prefer to trade with someone else.

I know not everyone here is an artist- if you wanted something from me I'm generally looking for RL commissions right now, but if you wanted me to do something for gold I can see. I just don't really know what my art is worth in gold anymore.

I'm lazy and buy mine (I usually get the Bristol ones) but you can easily cut them yourself out of any paper you want 3nodding It just has to be somewhat stiff so its like a trading card.

Its also easy to use regular trading card supplies to protect them ("penny" soft plastic sleeves, and hard plastic "top loaders", and I actually use a deck box to store them in.)

I've only ever heard about these when I see professional US Comic artists do them and sell them at conventions or for Marvel Masterpieces/Upperdeck. (I've heard them called Art cards or Sketch cards)

I've always been tempted to try doing some but I keep forgetting to buy some (I'm waaay to lazy to cut it out) I remember one of the artists I'm watching named a good brand for the cards but I forgot what it was
