well sure... My gig is basicly this. In my country theres a comic book called Untamed Magic and its very popular. Now some foreigh guys ( I think Germans ) want to invest some money in a animated series and want to buy off all the rights for that comic-series. now my job is basicly to redesign some of allready existing characters and to create a bunch of new secondary characters, vheichles, armors, weapons and some little environments... And basicly thats it... Im spending 8h per day busting my head open to create some unique dudes and I like it... And even if I don't it's a job, and job=income, income=booze&chicks!

Well, I wanted to bring a little fun in this commission thingies, so I came up with this idea:
From now on, every time the commission period is about to come to an end and a new Order period will start, Ill post a coise on which free image you guys would like to have. Let me explain...
When reopening date is about to begin in 2 or 3 days, I'll post a choice of TWO characters from the game. Usualy it will be one good and one bad dude (or chick). And all you guys have to do is to vote which one of them would you like to see redesigned!*
To do that you simply have to vote here on forum or send me e-mail at [ [email protected] ] with topic GW art Vote, and include the name of the character which has you vote.
When the voting's done Ill post ressults here on this thread (usualy on First Post) and Ill start drawing that character.
When he/she/it's done Ill upload link here with High Quality image of him/her/it. So that way all of you who voted for that character (and all of you who didnt) can have a free, high quality image.
I hope you guys will like this idea and that it will slowly take it's flow
Now for the first two characters, i thought to go back in time to original Prophecy campaign and take Prince Rurik and Undead Lich. So those are two guys who will compete themselves, who will be redesigned by me
*********1st Voting**********
****1. PRINCE RURIK
****2. UNDEAD LICH
***************************
*NOTE: By redesigning I mean large aspect of things. Depending on character I might almost completly change him/her/it if I dont find original design very appealing (but I will leave some of the recognisable features, so that there is no misstake who he/she/it is), or I might just add and change things here and there if I find the original design very good.

I vote for the Lich.

Hm... I 've always wanted to see a Prince Rurik that didn't look like Freddie Mercury. The Lich looks more or less like I would have pictured him. Rurik... not so much. So, I'll be voting for Rurik when the time comes.
I'll also be looking into getting a piece done by you. Fantastic work!

I like your job...
Yes, I never like the design of Prince Rurik,... so un-princely.... And would surely hope to see it redesign (thought I did make a sketch design of my "prince" befoe too). I like the King thought... maybe make him more like his dad...

Well why don't you do them both?! 
Just kidding.
Well i realy don't like both of them. Lich has that stupid mexican-spanish accent, and looks like normal bloke with funny helmet on his head, with big horns. Its just funny. But on the other hand Rurik is not any better. His armor totaly needs to be redesigned and I just never felt with that character.
So i think Ill vote for Rurik on this one. Yup, Rurik it is.
Oh btw, great assassian design, I especialy liked thos undelined stickfigures on his shoulder armor. Sweet touch

Great idea!!! I think I will vote for Rurik, he definitely needs some armor redesigning!!!
I'd like to add how amazingly talented I think you are. I received today the piece you are working on, and well, my jaw still hurts from when it hit the keyboard after it dropped

RURIK Wins 1st GW Character Redesigning Elections
-----------------------------------------------------
So, with that in mind I'll get on doing Rurik, and hopefully, I'll upload him tonight. I already have a very good idea in what direction I'll push that design.
Well all you guys need to do right now is to relax and wait a couple of hours

Well hello again
Ok as you might expected, the Prince is done!
Bare in mind that this image is "heavy" only 250KB! Original is 3MB!! (and unfortunaly imageshack accepts only up to 1.5MB so I'll have to shrink it a little. I'll do that later tonight and I'll post that original huge image. Untill then here's a light version).
Well, to be completly honest I'm glad you have chosen Rurik to be redone, because, in my oppinion (for one of the main characters) he was quite purely designed. Too monothoned, too simple armor for a Prince. So hopefully I've corrected that (too bad it won't be in the game :P )
As you may see my main focus was on his armor. I've added crown-like circlet around his helmet so that we can understand little better his royal heritage. I also wanted to paint him in a king-like posture, holding his fire dragon sword proudly but casual, and I also wanted to illustrade a lot of self confidance in that posture and facial expression.
As you may noticed in my images I'm completly sucker for a detail. I loooooove painting little details everywhere (and sometimes I get carried away and spent too much time on them), so I tried to go with original flow of his armor (didnt want to change it radicly) just to add lot of simple details that will make it looks little more cool :0
Well, enough talking, heres the link, and I realy hope you guys will enjoy it.
Cheers!

@Ravensong
hehe thanx man. I must say I like your shading a lot. I know how timeconsuming it is to shade characters like that, and how boring and frustrating it can be, but you're still doing it. Niceeee.
Oh and I'm from Serbia...
@Real Avalon
Well, catching me in game is kind of a hard thing to do these days. I can't afford a luxury of playing it for a couple of days at least. However try to contact ign I gave you latter tonight, I'll tell him to be online, and you can do the trade. I hope you like your custom armor
@ALL OTHERS
Tonight after midnight a new Order period is opend. So make haste and reserve your spot! Go, go, go Check first Post for more details.

Nice job on the re-designed Rurik. The attention to detail is just insane.
Ravensong did a pretty good job with the Lich as well. I can't really remember how the Lich looked ingame, but I'm sure he didn't look any near as creepy as that.

After what you did with Rurik I would love to see what you do with Shiro. You could put them both in the same drawing as a ying-yang kind of thing.
Could you put up the names on the first page of who is left in round one and who made it into round 2.

I vote Togo too, he needs some armor readjustment.
Blackgate
Yeah. You definitely have my respect as an artist. I'm a huge fan of character and character design and I can see you have a mind for it. Perhaps we can trade a drawing sometime. I plan on having my "coming out party" on this fan art forum soon. Nothing up yet. But, I did create my avatar pic. Happy money making. And good luck with your job. 
Unlucky Slayer
Go with Togo. Shiro is bad ass enough as it is. ^^
Morag D
me vote for Togo, too... he's so boring xD
Sectus
I vote for Togo as well. I've always thought he looks awfully generic and dull.
Perynne
Togo needs a makeover! Shiro already looks pretty cool.
ravensong
I vote Togo too...just because our Togo is very dull and I always look forward to his death!
Babaroga
Well last night, number of votes for Shiro, that I've recieved via e-mails and PMs, were twice the number Master Togo got. So, I was certain that Shiro will win. I must admit I wans't so happy with that coice, because , in my oppinion, Shiro is one of the best designed humanoid characters in GW. So I was really hoping of redesigning Master Togo. However number of votes was on Shiros side.
So... Last night I had some free time so I decaided to do Shiro, and I've hasted a little bit, 'couse this morning and today Master Togo recieved enough votes to make him a winner.
However, since I've already done Shiro (I admit I was rushing things a little :S) I'll post him for now... But as soon as I do Master Togo, I'll remove Shiro from this thread, 'couse togo IS THE WINNER!
Unfortunatly, I won't be able to sit down and draw Togo before Tuseday.
Again I do appolagise for my mistake, and for rushing things, but this way you guys will recieve 2 free images
Cheers

OK, here's Shiro...
As I said in my post above, I realy liked the look that Shiro allready have. So I didn't want to change it or go wild and create completely new design (as I did with Prince Rurik). What I wanted to do is to use an armor and extras he already had and just to remove something I didn't like, and to add something I thought might look cool.
I wanted to go with kind of Ronin concept (outcast Samurai assassins), and I wanted to focus more on his sholder-arm armor. I also wanted to add ying-yang idea to the image (kind of he was loyal and good servant once, now hes bad a$$ dude), so I added ying-yang simbol here and there and also I made his Sword's Sheats one in black one in white color, which also indicates balance between good and evil.
Anyhow, here's Shiro until Master Togo is redone. Enjoy
