Hey all, been a while, hasn't it? I finally got myself a decent job and now, I'm even busier than I was when the old one got shut down, but hey, I'm getting paid for it
I'm loving the work that is on display here - makes me fired up to get some new art of my characters for sure. Of course, money, as ever is a problem, (In real life, there's my passport for the annual alliance holiday we have, as well as my new pc, not to mention the actual holiday, oh and a replacement tv, cause mine broke *sad panda*... In gw, theres that shiny dwarven vest for my new ranger and i just bought several pieces of silver eagle which cleaned me out...) Still, some of my guildmates are artists, so maybe I'll ask them ^^

I got a new commission completed and it's probably the most impressive commission I've got so far. Not GW related though, the character is Lady from Devil May Cry 4.

nice to hear you're back, Moa .. and some awesome art there Sectus, as always ~
mm .. Alacrity has some new stuff too ..
------------------------------------
I love the pose and esp her eyes, the very chatty xCupcakesx is so good with poses and eyes (and hands, too ..)
she has not opened commissions yet ~ only art trades or requests so far :}
------------------------------------
speaking of interesting poses, here's another of Ala by Ereshkigal234
she's available for commishes, shall ask her for more art, soon as I can get a friend to sit still long enough to grab a decent screenie ..
------------------------------------
and yet another nice pose .. I asked Destinyfall to paint Alacrity in a contemporary Cantha
well, this is a bit risque, but tbh, only half as revealing as many of the ingame costumes .. I think Anet oughta run a Design-a-Costume Contest next~!
*o btw, this is muchmuch better in fullview
Jessica/Destinyfall's art is mostly based on her vampire novels, but as you can see her skills with PaintshopPro work for any theme .. she is having a commission drive to earn PhotoShop ~ am in the line for more art from her ..

http://daimida.deviantart.com/art/sa...ssion-81804833 - A commission I got completed last week. A little NSFW.
It's going very slow on my commission front so I don't expect many new commissions the next months. I got a feeling Smilin' Assassin will keep the club alive though Morag D
kinda commissioned myself lol
Eryn btw, sectus, love your last one! Shanaeri Rynale boxterduke
Wow this pic is very nice Shan.
Smilin' Assassin
a few more drawings to show off:
Ala by Star Krestt: here trying to look nonchalant, with a pair o Shiro's behind her back~! another tale by ghoner: Alacrity typically about to be pwned by you-kno-who, fortunately a mate's on the way to the rescue~! we've all taken newcomers under our wing from time to time .. Vanitra King shows how Ala enjoys this so ~ have several pieces on the horizon, can't resist showing off one o these WiP's: here's half the lineart of Alacrity's next by Ereshkigal234 so much detail~! and finished this will be gorgeous~!@ Sjeng
Well, I've collected all commissions people did for me and put them together HERE.
I'd say that makes me an art wh0re too, no? :P Also, artists, check out my commission contest thread if you're interested. Deadline is the end of july. The more the merrier! NERK
what program do you use to color the drawings after they have been scanned
can anyone lead me to some tuts on this? The Mad Addict Sectus
For the first time in over a half year I've got new artwork of Sanra, yay!

Oh yes, you got your curves
I'm actually tempted to buy from the first after the move. That's hot! Sjeng
Wowzers powercozmic! Those are quite the "firm" females there! awesome work!
The fist one is so realistic, it's scary. The second I like because of the style. It reminds me of those awesome "jugendstil" like drawings. Google for em There was an artist for M:tG cards who drew like that. His name is Quinton Hoover. Example: Man, now I've spent time looking for M:tG images on google, and I almost wanna pick it up again xD but I won't. I mustn't! >.> StarrTheInsane

Been a while, but here's some new artwork of my pretty mesmer, woot!
http://stregatto10.deviantart.com/ar...anra-134491969 - NSFW Smilin' Assassin
wow all of your personal galleries are awsum~!
I especially love yours Morag, might hafta steal that idea, Ala's art is spread out over half a dozen different sites, and some works aren't online anywhere at all .. Morag D Chicken of the Seas
How do you guys manage to find people doing commissions on DA anyway? I wouldn't mind paying rl money for one some-day but I have trouble finding people that actually do them.
Morag D
I just happened to watch that guy when he announced in his journal that he was doing commissions - react quickly, have a paypal account and keep money there (takes 2-4 working days to transfer money onto it, and most artists want to be paid in advance or are really fast at drawing so in most cases you'll need access quickly). Other than that, if there's someone you'd really really like to draw something for you, it can't hurt to just ask - a bit of flattery for the ego - the worst they can do is say no
Hailfall
Yea.. im still looking on DA to see if i can find an artists whose art i really like for a commission of rl moneyz.
Btw Morag that one is awesome! Verene
If he's currently available, check out hugohugo on dA, Hailfall. He does great stuff and it's only a few dollars. I had him do this for me a couple of years ago, after I failed miserably at drawing that particular RP character (I colored it here). To say I was happy with it doesn't even begin to cover it, his drawing was so spot-on to my minds-eye and my description

Around 20-30 USD for a full colour commission. She's got a good deal of people in her commission queue already but I think she's still accepting new commissions. Expect to wait a few months for the artwork though. http://tozani.deviantart.com/journal/ - A really good artist who just started accepting speed commissions for 20 USD each (30 USD for background too), it's a few weeks since he posted the journal about it but I'm very sure he's still accepting new commissions and I doubt there's many people in the queue. http://takumy.deviantart.com/ - She accepts sketches and CGs commissions. Personally I think her CG is a bit overpriced considering her style (well, when compared to the other artists just mentioned anyway), but she's a good choice, especially for quick sketches. http://raulovsky.deviantart.com/ - He's a bit more expensive than the ones listed above, but his artwork is definitely worth it. Considering he's had no requests in 1-2 months despite advertising, I think he'll be the fastest to do commissions in this list. http://achibner.deviantart.com/ - A good choice if you want really profesional looking painting. I'm not sure if he's accepting commissions right now (he didn't reply the last email I sent him a few months ago, but it's very possible he's simply tired of my commission requests ). If he is accepting requests, expect to pay up to 150 USD. (one little warning, the galleries for all these artists are a bit NSFW since they have some artwork with nudity. But if you're not logged in, those pictures won't appear at all) Chicken of the Seas
Thanks a lot for the help guys. Once I get college/work situated I'll probably try a lot of the methods you've used Sectus. I will buy art someday...I will!
Man those guys are talented, and have pretty good prices (besides takumy which I'm going to have to agree with you with...) Hailfall

Anyway, I've made a gallery to put my art/commissions! It's missing some stuff, but I do have most of it there. http://under-the-gun.org/gw/ Morag D
