art-wh0re ( ärt-hôr) n. A person who fanatically collects artwork from other artists, whether by commissioning, art trades, gift art, or by other means. The person usually has a particular character which their commissioned artwork usually focuses on. From the latin term Artous Collectus Compellious.

Welcome to The Official Guru Art-Wh0re Club! In short, this is a place for art enthusiasts to hang out, show off their latest commissioned artwork, and also share links to their favorite shops! This is also to encourage more people to get involved in the art community. Please take a look around, read the rules, and feel free to jump into the conversation.

* * *

Guidelines
1. No flaming. We're all here because of a common interest so I don't forsee this being much of a problem. There's always one random flamer though... in such a case, please don't lower yourself to their level. Any arguments that may arise between members should be taken to PMs.
2. No spam. This includes all the regular spamy stuff, but also bumping. There really isn't a reason to bump. Members, please bookmark the guild and check in frequently!
3. Members only? Well, not exactly...non-members are free to post the occasional message, but please keep it to a minimum. Otherwise, what's the point of joining if anyone could post?
4. Use links when appropriate. If you're posting a pic or showing off your newest commission, please refrain from posting the whole picture and instead leave a link if the image is larger then 600 pixels wide. Posting excessively wide images stretches out the screen and annoys us [and the mods].
5. There is no number 5.
6. Thumbnails. Please, when posting new art in this thread, use thumbnail images when/if possible. Here is how to make a thumbnail out of a Photobucket image, for those of us who don't like Imageshack:

Code:

[URL="http://imageurl/image.jpg"][img]imageurl/th_image.jpg[/img][/URL]

* * *

Membership Requirements
So you want to join the club? Anyone meeting the following requirements will be admitted free of charge.

1. Must have more than 5 commissions* under your belt. Does not have to be of a single character. Images that are simply recolored or have only a small edit do not count as separate images.
2. Must have commissions in a public gallery. What good are 300 pics if others can't view them? If you don't have a web page gallery, an easy and free alternative is setting up a photobucket account! As long as your photobucket account isn't password protected, it acts very much like a gallery. If you can't leave your photobucket un-passworded, please consider making a web page gallery at a site like Angelfire, Geocities, or FreeWebs.

*For simplicity's sake, I use the term 'commissions' to represent all artwork by other artists. This includes not only actual commissions, but also art received as gifts or through trades, ect., basically any artwork done for you by another person.

Haha, oh man I can just imagine us in our classy/Vabbian armors just walking around a gallery going "oh yes, very well done" in a snooty voice. xD

Anyway I am applying for Art "Enthusiaist" with a couple I got from a few sites. My gallery album is listed In this convienent link.

First batch of art is from my soverign home page www.shinraonline.com, at the Art 101 subforum.
My first image is one of my assassin done by the local art god Deovi-sempai. Normally her art costs $90 but I caught a free request off her in a promotion she did in order to get some practice done:
Cid Nocturne, by Deovi of Shinra

Next are commissions done by Zeorymer0015, a local freelance artist with a style that looks like a mix of american and japanese artworks.
Eldred the Sinner, by Zeorymer0015 of Shinra
Jeff Highwind by Zeorymer0015 of Shinra

Now we go to the local denizens of Guildwars Guru. With each lucky infusion of cash comes another piece of art for me and another pleased artist.
This piece is from Mistical Miss, a darling little artist who captures the true reason for Jeff Highwind being an archer.
Jeff Highwind & the ladies, by Mistical Miss

Next is a group from Egnki or as I call him Eggy. For a guy who does sketches, he captures the essence of a character very well even with my crappy descriptions.
Team Highwind (Jeff, Eldred and Yukimaru), by Egnki-sempai

The third artist is a batch of four done by Ravensong. Though at times my hightened vocabulary confuses him (and everyone around me apparently), he was able to do absolutly stunning penwork to bring out the best aspects of my characters.
Jeff Highwind the Treasure Hunter, by Ravensong
The Malicious Eldred, by Ravensong
Nero Starburst of the Kurzicks, by Ravensong

Right now I have one more piece in pending from Ravensong and one request in quota by Noanoa, who I am really hoping to see. I also inquired Egnki about if he plans to do any more CG work in the future. Hopefully there will be more artists out there that can continue my lust for more of the culture of art.

My application form is somewhat tenuous, because one of the items isn't finished yet, but I'm poor!

So yeah, I can't afford the same sort of volume as the rest of ya, but I try

Anyway, I have 5 plus one work in progress to share with y'all, as well as a couple of bits that I've all but destroyed by touching

. I dont have Imageshack OR Photobucket tho, So I'll post downsized versions of each, plus links to the full size versions, cause this whole thumbnail business is confusing.

Right, 1st up Is the reason I started getting commissions done; None other than the one and only Egnki, or as I have been known to call him; Eggy-Sama

#1: My 1st Commission:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/188/4...818dfeb9_o.jpg

#1 Part 2: My somewhat botched attempt at colouring the above:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/187/4...5ec5ff9a_o.png

#2: CHIBI!!!

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/175/4...0d6d75d7_o.jpg

#2 Part 2: Hideous Chibi of Mine

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/174/4...d454cab4_o.jpg

Now we come to my other Artist and good friend, Mistical miss:

#3: Mistical's Ensemble Piece:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/172/4...586015a8_o.jpg

#4: Barbecue Chicken:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/147/4...8430a92d_o.jpg

#4 Part 2: I was struck by inspiration! Unfortunately, it didnt make up for the obviousl lack of talent...

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/139/3...06aafde6_o.jpg

#5: Work in Progress of R-K-A. This is gonna be awesome, I just know it

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/162/4...43d42c8e_o.jpg

And last, but not least, here's a piece my guild leader did for me. He was havin an off day when he did this, so be nice please

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/155/4...dcc6c3ed_b.jpg

There ya go, that's my lot for now, so let me in or I'll cry

(This post took ages and I'm betting I'll get a database error now...

)

EDIT@ Jeff: I can't afford Vabbian, (shh about that one piece my warrior has ok?

) so I guess I'll have to be the shabbily dressed eccentric of the group that nobody ever understands. I'd quite like that

ALSO EDIT: Gallery of sorts is on this link: Moa Bird Cultist AKA Rens' Gallery

Here is a quick color job I did on the original.

My rit by RebelHero

Another one of my ritualist this one by Orseis

My mesmer by egnki

Of course this one done of my Ranger and his Black Moa by Grey Fox

I also have at least two works being done right now, even though the artists for those are kinda on vacation or whatever.

Also I only posted my GW related works that I've had done, I have some stuff from when I played RO as well as one drawing of an old Text RP character I came up with.

Ooh, this is a good idea, Nkah

I'd love to join once I get all my commissions...I've just recently gotten into this commission stuff, so all of mine are in progress atm...I have ordered four from Ravensong, one from Lokii (might order another as well), one from GWsketchies, one from Torikae, and one from Malice...I think that's it. I figure these will be done in the next couple of weeks. I am also making a drawing for Unlucky Slayer of his mesmer, I just keep getting artists block :/ But he'll have another on his list soon

Umm, yeah, so I hope to be a future member of your club

I might as well join the club, although my activity might be slow since I usually don't get commissions very often.

My gallery is here: http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/

There's a few rather naughty pictures in the gallery but I've hidden them from public access... if requested I might unlock them

I see AW Lore, Moa Bird and Slayer doesn't have any galleries yet... you guys are free to use my gallery if you want. It's easy to use and you can even add pictures via a zip file which makes it really fast to get your entire collection uploaded. Just let me know and I'll set up an account for you (if you're feeling really lazy I can add the pictures for you too).

Moa Bird Cultist AKA Rens' Gallery

Since I only have 5 finished pieces plus the one work in progress as well as my... shall we say 'dabblings,' it's a bit sparse. So I've tried to flesh things out a bit by adding commentary of my own on each piece. By all means feel free to leave messages telling me my commentary sucks, cause I know that as well as you will and it'll bring a chuckle if nothing else

Oh and Sectus? That one of Sanra riding her Warthog by Gwen_On_A_Plane is pure win

Okie, I just set up your account and sent you more detailed info in an PM.

I did the same for AW Lore since he doesn't have any gallery yet. It's up to him whether or not he wants to use my site as his gallery though.

Erm. Sorry about the whole "GOREDENGINE" added in the pm. Stupid forum censores the word wh0re.

Yeah, that's why I typed it with a zero in the title. On another forum I go to, called GaiaOnline [also a huge source of my art], there's the Official Gaian Art Wh0re Guild there - with a large chunk of members who have 350+ commissions. That's where I stole the idea for an art club/guild from, too.

Very nice additions.

Right now I'm seeing about getting one of my pics colored by a really nice color person.

Since I just got the finished product from Kate, I may color it myself, looks simple enough for a half assed attempt at simple coloring. ^_^
