I apologize for anything that might offend anyone in here, but, as you will likely be able to tell by the tone of the latter half of this journal I was NOT pleased when I wrote it.
~~~~~~~~~
Since, perhaps due to the impressive size of this journal post, people weren't reading ALL of my rules, I'm going to condense it all so that everything will be made clear. Look, I'm even going to spell them out in capitals, to eliminate any possible confusion:

THE RULES:
~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.IF YOU USE ONE OF MY BASES, CREDIT ME (ChaosSoda). Even if you edit it to the point where it can barely be recognized, the original lineart is mine. CREDIT MUST BE GIVEN. NO EXCEPTIONS.

2. TEMPLATES MAY BE USED FOR DOLLING OR KISEKAE (KiSS) PURPOSES. YOU MAY NOT USE THEM FOR DRAG AND DROP MAKERS ONLINE OR OTHERWISE.

3. KISS SETS MADE WITH MY BASES MAY BE SHARED ONLINE, AS LONG AS I AM VISIBLY CREDITED SOMEWHERE.

4. I'D PREFER IT IF MY BASES WERE NOT USED FOR "ADULT" DOLLS. YOU MAY USE THEM FOR SLIGHTLY ADULT PURPOSES, AS LONG AS ITS TASTEFUL (If you feel that you may be about to break this rule, you can always ask me first) DOLLS INVOLVING BLOOD AND GORE DO NOT QUALIFY AS ADULT, SO GO AHEAD. POUR DOWN GALLONS OF BLOOD, I DON'T CARE.

5. YOU MAY EDIT TEMPLATES HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE (ALTERING EYES, SKIN TONE, GENDER, ETC.), BUT YOU MUST STILL CREDIT ME (ChaosSoda).

6. IT'S NOT MANDATORY, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU WOULD SEND ME A LINK TO WHAT YOU MAKE WITH MY TEMPLATES, EITHER AS A NOTE/MESSAGE, OR AS A COMMENT ON THE TEMPLATE'S PAGE.

7. IF YOU EDIT MY BASES, YOU MAY NOT POST THE EDITS ONLINE, AT ALL. ALSO, IN GENERAL, YOU MAY NOT REDISTRIBUTE MY BASES ANYWHERE, AT ALL, FOR ANY REASON. You may, however, keep your edits on your computer for your own personal use.

8. GENDER MAY BE EDITED, UNLESS THE TEMPLATE'S DESCRIPTION SAYS OTHERWISE.

9. WHEN YOU POST SOMETHING YOU MAKE ON ONE OF MY BASES, REMOVE THE BASE'S TITLE AND MY TAG (The part that says "SPChaosSoda"). I DIDN'T MAKE IT, SO DON'T LEAVE MY NAME ON IT, PLEASE. CREDIT ME IN THE DESCRIPTION, INSTEAD.

10. YES, YOU *CAN* USE THE BASES. THEY WERE MADE FOR ALL OF YOU TO USE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK- JUST GO AHEAD, UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING A DOLL THAT MIGHT BREAK MY RULES.

11. SPEND MORE THAN A HANDFUL OF MINUTES ON WHATEVER YOU MAKE WITH MY TEMPLATES, PLEASE! I'd rather be linked to and enjoy pixel art that you worked hard on, and put your best effort into than look at something that you obviously spent five minutes on. Even if it doesn't meet all of your expectations, as long as you worked hard on it, it's fine.

12. NO FRANKENDOLLING. I'd prefer it if you wouldn't combine bits of my bases with parts of others. You're free to EDIT my bases, but NOT frankendoll.

**I'd like to know what you all think, or if you're even using my templates, so comments are appreciated, though not at all mandatory. HOWEVER, IT'S NICE TO LEAVE COMMENTS OTHER THAN LINKS ON MY BASES' PAGES. FEEDBACK LETS ME KNOW HOW I'M DOING, SO I CAN EVENTUALLY DO BETTER.**

Also, if you're looking for a particular type of template, you can find it more easily now in my gallery by clicking on the folders. More specific categories are soon to come.

REQUESTS (READ FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION!):
~~~~~~~~~
* I apologize in advance for sounding harsh in the following paragraph:

SUPER IMORTANT!! READ, OR DON'T REQUEST!!
**********************************************
THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT YOU WILL SEE RESULTS WHEN YOU REQUEST A BASE FROM ME. See the title "Procrastinator" under my name? It's there for a reason. Also, keep in mind that, despite what you may think, I DO have a life, which sometimes throws unpleasant things in my face that I must deal with.

Another thing- when requesting, DON'T HARRASS ME CONSTANTLY ABOUT YOUR REQUEST(S)! It's annoying, and makes me NOT want to make anything for you. Not to sound rude or anything, but seriously. Asking about the requests I never actually agreed to do (I take them UNDER ADVISEMENT, unless I say "Yes, absolutely! I'll get to it right away!") is annoying, and kind of rude. In fact, it's almost...demanding. As AP art has taught me, art stops being fun when there are annoying, way-too-demanding deadlines.

A REALLY IMPORTANT ASIDE: I DON'T MAKE PROMISES, SO DON'T EVER SAY I "PROMISED" YOU ANYTHING.

Aaaaand, most important of all: REQUESTS ARE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, AND, NOT THAT I HAVE ANY ON MY LIST, ALL REQUESTS HAVE BEEN TERMINATED!!!
~Close friends/those I know in the real world are exempt from this rule.

**!! As some people have done, you may state things you'd like to see made (like that hair shape tutorial), and I might well do it (I made that one in a hurry, because I was in the right mood). AS LONG AS YOU DON'T FLAT OUT REQUEST/DEMAND ANYTHING, IT'S FINE.

One more thing, on a far less important note: Wondering why the mood for this journal is always "mortified"? It's only because I liked having a chibi-reaper emote on my journal XD
