Welcome, and Merry Christmas!


This is a new, basic down- to business shop with easy applications and orders! This shop was made to escape from the complicated world of other shops. If you are someone who doesn't have much experience with Scratch or shops, we can make your orders easy!

We are currently hiring and probably always will be.
Hopefully, you apply! We need employees.

A little about me and why I opened this shop:

Hi! I'm singingkitten_24, an American coder/programmer/artist in the upper grades! I'm currently directing a movie and writing a book. A few years ago, I had no idea what the Discussion Forums were. Then, about two years ago, I discovered it from a project! I was very interested in learning about it and eventually discovered shops. I made an order from one but I felt it was complicated and there was too much work just for some art. When I tried working for them, I felt it was also over complicated. So, one day- I had this idea- why not make my own? And that's how Ville De L'Art was born!
I hope you don't struggle with anything here- and if you do, contact me on my profile! ( https://scratch.mit.edu/users/singingkitten_24/ ) I promise I'll make sure that every customer feels like they are understood and have their opinions listened to and considered.

If you want to order something just copy and paste this in a reply and answer the questions.

No problem, the form is great!
You're hired! I love your art, too, it's very detailed and cute . I'm going to make you the head thumbnail/animator
In case you aren't sure (I wasn't when I first worked at a shop), you now have permission to take orders, speak to customers, or basically whatever else you want to do.

If you're wondering why I'm saying “bump”, it's because it brings the post to the top of the forums- this way, there will be more viewer traffic (and hopefully more orders or workers!) Have a great rest of your day! I wish you the best

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. Yes, of course you can work here!

Hello everyone!

If you celebrate Christmas, then you know it's coming up. We probably won't have many orders, but that's fine because most of us won't be online anyway. We won't be open from Christmas Eve (December 24th, 2023), Christmas Day (December 25th, 2023), New Years Eve (December 31st, 2023) and finally New Years Day (January 1st, 2024). However, we will be open in between. Keep in mind this doesn't mean that employees cannot do anything- we just won't take or complete orders. I hope you enjoy it!
I just wanted everyone to know that we haven't been getting many orders. You probably know this already, however.
We won't close this shop- don't worry, but I have joined a few federations which should help. I'm also open to doing partnerships with other small shops, but I haven't started any. If you do attempt a partnership, please make sure it's another small shop because I'd like to help others who also don't have many customers . If anyone would like to join more federations, start partnerships, advertise things, etc. you have my full permission.
Stats if you need or want them (as of December 21st, 2023):
2 orders completed, 4 employees, open since December 10th, 2023. The shop is basically just a simple shop where you can get orders personalized quickly and with no over-complicated things.

If you have any other ideas on how to boost this shop's amount of customers and workers, tell me, or just do it yourself! As an employee, I trust you all to carry out these duties. I don't think you all will do anything detrimental.

Remember our shop's motto:

Never give up!

REVIEW: 4/5
Service: Pretty good. He asked me a few questions on my profile and got it done the next day.
Timing: 1 day - really fast.
Quality of Product: Well, I like the drawings and font, but it’s a little too dramatic for me - 3D Master!? I only do, like, 2.5D.
General: So, I like it, but it’s a little too dramatic. Therefore, I rate 4/5.

Username: pompom454
What you want: Mr. Wolf (from The Bad Guys using the movie design) in a default SRB2Kart kart. You can use kartmaker to make the sprites. Should look like the SRB2/SRB2Kart style.
Colors or any design specifications: Make sure to make his suit green because green is required for easy color changing. If you see duplicate sprites in the bottom of the kartmaker template, that's for getting hurt/falling in a pit. Also, the rectangle is for the signpost if you finish first (remember to make all sprites with his suit green). (Also make sure to click on the first result. Maybe watch a tutorial if I wasn't too specific enough.)
