As you can see all characters done in black and white have a unique set of armor. The reason I didn't want to draw them in GW armor sets is, well i like to design my own characters and since this is just a show off image, I think I can get away with it

And some non Guild Wars related images

Ok so, here’s the list of all of you who have ordered images or are in the waiting list.
Also I will attach small image next to a client’s name so that you can see that all of you will receive unique and different image. If by any chance, some of you don’t want their image to be shown on this thread, please, send me e- mail and I will remove the image (if it’s already been posted) or I won’t post it if it’s in WIP phase.
Thank you.

4 – ign was not active for a few days so the trade has not been completed

B – A client with this sign didn’t received his/hers image because of one or more of the following reasons:
1 – he or she doesn’t want to pay the previously agreed price

Rules of ordering an image:

First of all, you have to contact me via e–mail [ [email protected]
] with the subject GW ART ORDER. Any topics named otherwise will be automatically dismissed (due to the security reasons).
An e-mail should contain following:

1 . Type of Image you want to be done for you.
a) Black and White
b) Color (not available at the moment)

c) ADDED: Group pictures **


* NOTE: You will never receive image less than 2000x2000 pixels, and a few MB in size.
**NOTE: You can order a group image of your characterS! 2, 3, or even 10 of them or more can be put on one big piece of drawing board interacting with each other and having fun. The amount and description is up to you. This order will be done only in B&W and will be limited to only three (3) orders per Order Period.

2. References.
When sending an e – mail please follow these instructions correctly or the deal will not be made.
These instructions include:
You have to send a print screened image of a character you would like to be drawn (or multiple characters, or just send a detailed description, such as type of armor, or armors, weapon, skin etc.) If you could also, explain the mood, pose, and overall feeling of an image, it would be nice. That way we're gonna be sure, that you'll like the image. Or if you don’t want any of specific GW armors or items, pose, additions etc. please make sure you that u mention that in the order.

After this you will receive the last e-mail which will contain the price of the picture as well as one of the ign (in game names) you can contact to check the progress of your painting. That ign will be connection between client and me, when it comes to the payment.


Payment Method and Prices:
The price of an image varies (depending on level of details the complicity and the time that will be needed for an image to be finished). Usually the price range goes between:
Black and White 25, 000 -40, 000 gold coins (25k-40k)
Color 30, 000 – 60, 000 gold coins (30k-60k)
Group Image 70,000 - 100, 000 gold coins (70k-100k)

When the image is done (usually between 2-7 days) you will be sent a preview of a final image (a small sized image with low compression with watermark on). If you like the preview and are satisfied with the final product, you will be asked to contact the ign you’ve been given via e-mail. Then you will engage in trade (where you will give a certain amount of gold), and when the trading is over a full sized image without any protections (such as watermarks or censured parts) will be sent to you.

Thank you for your time, and for reading this thread

Hi there.
I’ve decided to make a set of five collectable illustrations (I will refer to them as Cards in future text). The each and one of them can be bought and their use is to reduce the prices of images you order and something more…

How and why should you get them, and what they exactly do?

Well, I’ve noticed that there are people who wanted me to draw something for them in the second Order wave, and have told me that they might be interested in another image when the next Order period starts. Also, there are people who have or want to order more than one image, but they say they will wait until they collect more money, because my images are expensive. There are those who just can’t help themselves and want an image in every Order period. So, all of you who have found yourself in these lines, these cards are for you.
The purpose of these cards is to reduce the final cost of a painting. Each card will give you 2% discount (2cards 4%, 3=6%, 4=8%, 5=10%) also when you collect all five of them, you will get one free order. With that free order you can eather order image for yourself for free, or give it to a friend so he/she can order an image with 50% discount.
Once the free order is used, its done…no more
Also, if you are member of [OGAWC] art club, you will get additional 10% discount if you have all 5 collectable cards.

How can I get them, and what’s the price?

You can get them via e-mail or download them from this thread once they are uploaded. You will receive a signed high resolution of a card.
They are...free

Who are those characters on the Cards?

Well, as for who to draw, I first thought of some of main characters from the game. However since there’s a free Redesigning characters event I’m doing, I wanted to go with some of real peoples characters. At these cards you will find five (5) people I very much like or hate to play with! People I am or have been in contact with, and people that have made my in game life pleasant (or more likely…hell ).
As for all of the characters, I will write something little about them, so you can have an idea how cool, or uncool they are

Wauu, so much orders in a 24hours period. I thought that it will be much much less than this... Well, I guess I was wrong

Well due to the high interest and a lots of orders I'll have to colse order period for 2 weeks, so I can manage to complete all orders I've got up till now. So from now on in my first post I'll write a date when Orders are closed and a date when I'll open a new set of orders.

Please, try to follow the dates, because I don't know if I'm going to be able to do more artwork when the order date expires.

"Order Closed" [ date ] - This means that at a certain date will be set as a final date untill you can submit your e-mail orders. All e-mails that arive between Closed Order date and New Order date, will NOT be taken in considiration.

"New Order Date" [date] - This means that at a certain date will be set as a first day for new set of orders, and it will last untill a new Closed Order date is set. At this time you can send e-mail orders for your images.

I think that an interval between Closed and New Orders will be around 10-15 days.


Thanx

Please read the first post, afrer * sign.

@ TotalyColl11
sweet post dude And the answer to your question is this:
I dont think that charging 150k and more for an image is a fair price. First of all, those guys who are doing an image are well aware that they can do a lot of images weekly, because, let's face it, they are good at drawing, otherwise they wouldn't do it.
So lets say that one of those guys can do 2-3 Black and White images per day, then he/she spent one more day coloring it and putting final touches. At the end of a week one can do around 5-6 images. Lets say 5 images times avrage price 100k and we get 500k for a 5-6 day period.
That is a little unfair price, but if people want to pay that much for an image, than its fine by me...
As far as I'm concerned, I know how much I'm selling my work in real life, and how much time i need to complete the paintings, so, therefore I think that up to 60k for a colored image is very fair price.

Oh and thank you all for very nice comments...

@ The Real Avalon
be sure to send your instructions and shots up 'till 13th april or you'll have to wait 'till 25th

@Knightsaber Sith
Well no not exactly... What I ment was that all of you guys who have ordered images till april 10th and BUY B&W version of your orders, WILL get colored versions free of charge when I start doing a colored images for a community once again. So what I'm trying to say basicly is that you guys (10th april orders) can get colored images for a price of B&W

***********************************************

Now Please Read Following:

Last night I had to cancel two trades. Both guys didnt want to pay the in game gold first and then to recieve an image. I'm sorry but that's the way I'm trading, and thats the only way both of us can get out from it with a proffit.
Assuming me that I'm going to scam you is totaly stupid, becouse if I would going to do something like that, I'll loose a lot of customers, not to mention bad reputation, and lets face it in this line of work when there are a thons of talented fishes in the sea, it's quite hard to swim up as one of the best, or at least one thats good enough. And since im doing paintings for 5-6 years now, I realy woudn't wanna loose that credability I might have.
So the bottom line is please do not order images if you are not ready to pay first and then recieve a final product, there are lot of people who are ready and willing to do so, and by ordering an image and then refuse to pay, you are wasting my time, and therefore time of all those who would like to have their paintings done.

Thank you for understanding, and I do appolagise if someone has found him/herself offended by this post.

@Sectus
Well, as soon as I e-mail image(s) to their buyer it becames their copyrighted material. What would they like to do with it is up to them... As far as I'm concerned I have nothing agiainst it, but you would really have to ask them

It will always be copyrighted to the creator with all rights to it unless a written and signed contract is made to give up your rights. But yeah practically it's up to the artist how they take it. I don't see the fun in it if the commissioners can't show them off to others and have fun with them.

Anyway you should REALLY post your stuff in the thread because they are awesome! Your designs are really cool and your use of pose ref is pro stuff. I'm impressed. The females are hott! >:D
I love the female dervish and Jeff's ranger looks like a ancient king or something.

First of all thank you all for such nice comments, and I'm glad you guys like my work

@Nian
Heheh, well actually that also depends on wich country you are living in... Different countrys different rules, but yeah the base rule is the same. And in real life when I sell my image to a client, we both sign some agreement and the only things I ask of them is that, if they use that image in any publical purpose I have to get all the credits for that image, and second thing is that I can use that image on my web site or portfolio book if I need it to show it to other clients...
But since this is just a game (and I know that now half dozen of people are sharpening their pitchforks and charging towards my home) its very much up to all of you guys, wheter you would like to post them or not...
So what I'm trying to say is, relax show them or not, I'm not gonna sue you... :P Just enoy them, this game and have a tons of fun. I know I sure have while I'm doing them

Wait, wait, wait!! You are saying that that angel and demon that are fighting is just a SKETCH!? OMFG!?!? I just cant imagine how good then the finished image looks like! thums up thumbs up thums up....!
Oh and I ment to ask, howcome that in some of your pictures you draw like a perfect face and body and in some you go little off the topic? I hope you understand my q:P

Yup...its a sketch, and its not a demon its fallen angel (Tormented Soul) but never mind
Well believe it or not I spent more time in doing sketches and designing characters then I spent on putting it to a final piece, because when you have all ideas and designs and color pallet and shapes and forms etc. its quite easy to paint final picture.
And as far as goes for an anatomy ( I think that's waht you meny ), it mostly depends of a style that a client want from me to do a picture. Someone wants realistic, someone comic book style, some anime etc.
I can draw almost anything, but I mostly enyoj drawing little loose, kind of comic style...but you know what they say...Customer's always right!
