I just got back my Ranger, and my partner's ranger Christophew Snow.

It's amazing, I had told him Bufalo Wing and I sometimes have issues, he can be a little butt head... and well, just check what he's eating

Amazing detail!! Orson has a toe ring and an EAR RING with his name!!! haha :P

and yes, he made Orson bigger on purpose. I absolutely LOVE both pictures, awesome job!!! Thanks again!!!

I'm still trying to figure out how to upload on image shack the high resolution piece. Working on it.

Ok, I've added the list of all of you guys who have entered second Order Period. Some of you have been "banished" from the list and I have explained my reasons in e mails. There are things I require from you, and they are not that complex to complete, and if you can't do that, I'm sorry, but we can't make any kind of a deal.

So all of smart, and normal people, dont worry you are in!

The List

Order period number two:
1 – Lisa O
2 – Tommorrow
3 – Ramsis
4 – Deviant
5 – Farhan
6 – Delivio
7 – Joe Dimaggio
8 – Remi
9 – Shan

I will do images in the order listed above. The progress of the Second "run" you can watch on first post in this thread.
Cheers and thank you for giving me a chance to do a second order "run"

Yay, I'm a smart normal person! *frantically dances around*

Your last wave of orders resulted in tons of nice artwork, so I'm looking forward to the next ones. Especially my picture

By the way, 2 of the preview links in the original topic are dead:
http://www.abimc.com/gw/joshMprev.jpg
http://www.abimc.com/gw/maxxyne1prev.jpg
Both of those just give me 404.

If you finished some artwork but your client refused to pay, perhaps you could display a preview of that and offer a full version to anyone who's willing to pay for it?

Fixed corrupted links...Thanx for heads up!

And I would sell them, but the thing is... I deleted them. And it's not just not paying. Some people are just to stubborn and hard to work with, and since they don't know me and I don't know them, I can refuse their commisions wheter they like it or not.
Why would I stres with some jerks for a game money, when I meet people like them every second of my life in RL.
One crazy world, is just enough (and too much) for me

Well, I hope you don't meet any more people like that. Perhaps you could consider to take the money in advance before drawing to make sure you only deal with trustworthy people.

What sectus said! Or maybe a small "retainer fee". It's what I used to do when I did commissions for greenbacks. Once an artist has a reputation, there are people who are more than willing/understanding.

I agree with Sectus and Foxeye. I am not an artist, but I realize it takes TIME to do these pieces of work. I find it outrageous that anybody would give, any of the regular artists that post here, a hard time.

It's so simple:
- if you don't like the rules the artist has, DONT request a commission.
- if you think it's too expensive, DONT request a commission.
- if you are not crazy about their style, DONT request a commission.

but if you do make a request, and the artist take the time to draw for you, keep your part of the deal!!! :m

@Babaroga : I think part of the problem here is that people are making requests by email, and not here. If you look around these threads, most of the posters are sort of regulars. I can't imagine any of them pulling off a stunt on you. Maybe if people have to request here followed by an email, they would be a little bit more careful about changing their minds, and giving you a hard time, AFTER you have done all the work.

Also, giving a deposit is something I would not have a problem with, specially with artists that have obviously delivered and are reliable, LIKE YOU!!!

I am still in love with the 2 amazing pieces you made for me, and I am thrilled to be FIRST on line for the second wave.

Ok, heres (FINALY) the second voting Winner -> Master Togo :0

www.abimc.com/gw/MasterTogo.JPG

Im realy glad he won, 'couse he needed some lift of baaaadly

I wanted to stay on his clasical look (same as with Rurik) but also I wanted to give him some a little more cooler armor, and thus to create also a different overall feel of him. original design is kind of poor in my oppinion. i've never felt with that guy. And if you compare his armor with Player's Ritualist's armor, he looked like some Elementalist instead. So i wanted to take a basic design of his cloths and to push them a little forward with details, which I think (and hope) can put him in Ritualist group.
Anyhow, heres the link, and I realy hope you guys will like him.

Hehe, awesome. He definitely looks a lot better than this ingame counterpart. I like the pose and the expression you gave him, makes him look like a crazy mad old man instead of the overly friendly dull old man he is ingame. Would have been fun to see Toko ingame with your re-design and with an appropriate personality tweak (and definitely voice actor change...).

I have one question: Some of the artists on this forum have said that they use some of the Software Programs for posing and character cration... So I was wondering, which program do u use?

The Jokers

Ace of Spades

Heart Reaver
www.abimc.com/gw/heartreaver.jpg

Well I wanted to start with my character so here's a few details about him

A necromancer, cruel, vicious, sceptic, sarcastic, irogant, with no sense of humor. He hates life, but even more hates death. He's always ready to push those who he finds weaker and not worthy as him (wich is basicly everyone), he will exploit everyone and everything if he sees an opportunity to gain profit. He's extremly powerfull and gifted necromancer, but as such he is also not accepted most of the time by others, because many fear that in the moment of madness or if he sees a better oportunity, he will turn against them.
His real name is Demian Artehgno.
Unfortunate thing in life that hit him, made his mind, very fragile, and later on very cruel and dark place for thoughts to linger on.
It is said that when he killed his first human opponent in Ascalon Arenas, Demian felt such surrow that he become opssesed with it and eventualy it draw him to madness.
He has no real friend in life. Mostly he pushes people away from him, and realy few feel confortable in his presence. Maybe the only, if you can call him, friend is a great Mesmer, known as Inside U. But Reaver respect this mesmer only because he fears his ability to dominate minds and twists illusions. Reaver is well awear of his own dementia and schizophrenia, and he knows that his mind is the weakest link and that someone strong in dominating others minds, can be the end of him. So fear made him respect this so called "friend".
It is rumored that Reaver once was in love. In love with noone else than Althea, a fiance to the Prince od Ascalon, Rurik.
However, his love was not returned, and thus he become enraged and full of hate and anger. The rumor has it that on the years of Charr invasion, one night Reaver came to Althea as a request from Prince to take her to safety. But his plan was to assasinate Althea for not giving him the love he gave her.
If that is true or nor is not confirmed, but the Dwarves of Ironmines Of Moladune, swear that Reaver is responsible for Prince Ruriks death. They say that he sold informations about the route and the company of Rurik's to the Stone SUmmit Dwarves, and that he ensured them that he will travel with Rurik, so he can direct him right to the trap.
If this is so, no one knows, or if they do know, they are afraid to come out and tell, because, everyone knows how he got his new name, and thay do not want to be on the menu!

OK, Ive just realized that in order for you to get a groovy discount :0, you'll have to spend 100k to collect 5 cards, and thats just ...lame

I mean I do want to reap you off, but not in that way:P

SO, with that in mind, Im gonna cancel that idea, about you buying cards for discount from me. (I still am gonna draw 5 in game player characters I love and hate and Im gonna do them in color)
Also all of you who have order first joker, im gonna give bak the money ingame. 3 down...2 more to go

So, I still am gonna stick to the idea that you guys who love artwork can get discount. Therefore here's what we are gonna do.

-When I draw all 5 of the Jokers and if you have those images (and send me them to my mail, when you order, as a proof you have them) you will recieve 10% discount.
-Furthermore if you are member of a [OGAWC] art club, that will net you 10% discount.

So basicly if you are member, and have my collectable cards, you can get 20% discount. I know its not much, but its also enough for you to save some money to commission another artist.
Now, back to vodka and movie

Oh and I forgott... I will have to delay all of your commissions two or maybe three days. My art director for a project is f u c k i n g bombarding me with more and more work, and such a little time to do it...Thou, money is good^^
So, Im sorry, but you will have to wait a few more days for me to start your commission.
Again if anyone of you want to cancel the order, just send me e-mail, and Ill remove you from the list...

Take whatever time is needed for the commissions. I'm definitely not gonna cancel it

I am just making a post so I can keep you in mind. You (and two others ) are one of the very few people who I wish to draw out my characters as you (and the other two) are the only ones who seem to give them a true life.

The heart Reaver looks great m8. I especially like the pose. I think the only thing can say is that I wish the body grabbed a bit of that light from his wand - just to kind of ground the lighting effect in the image a bit more. Especially around his pelvis area with all that bone.

Nothing big though (I know I have a tendancy to go overboard with meh lighting). Just thought I'd drop by and give you props. I think my favorite image you've done so far is the female necro leaning on the Bone Fiend. Great pose and feeling to it.

haha Blackgate...well that's just what I was trying to avoid, to splash a lot of blue lightning all over the place. I wanted to do it simple, and this lightning effect came all out of nowhere, I actualy didn't want to do it... *looks at a girlfriend next to him*. Nevertheless I did it, and well... I think it affects just enough of the image not to be center of attention. And yeah, it should touch the ground a little bit, but the thing is....theres, no ground...

Anyhow, I apritiate critiques very very much, so shoot me again, can't wait for more :0

And, yeah maybe he could, but I wanted to pick up colors like he has in the game, and then mix them in Painter palette to go around well with that background color. Anyhow, point taken.

@tommorrow
Oh, yeah you are next!

@Gem
Well, maye, Im rarely online. Usualy when Im having a break of working. So I'm usualy there around 22:00+ (10pm or more) hours CET. Though I can be there sometime sooner, if you need me to be. Anyhow you can send me e mail and we can arrange something.
