Yes, I am doing commissions, the new thread is here.

It's been a while since I updated the display thread, so here's the short version.




Here's one of Grim.

Sweet , the *belly muscles* are a bit overdone though I think, so are the muscles from shoulder to neck I think, sweet lighting though

I've considered doing the commissions for unwanted minipets. My fiance got ticked off at his mini jade armor after a big one blew a mission for him, and he threw it in storage to be dealt with later. I felt sad for it and after seeing them used as payment for the mesmer duo, I thought, "What a great idea!"

So...yeah...

Either way, I'm not asking much right now. Probably start out at 10K for something like the pic I posted (that one was mostly done in 2 days, I just picked it back up to touch up some awkwardness). I'm broke but I love drawing and minipets.

OOoooh, black moas and storm bows, F'in' sweet!

This is gonna be too much fun! Since I'm a detail-fiend I don't know how long each of you will take, so the list is:

1. Shadow Kurd - paid
2. Verdura Mindcatcher - paid
3. Don't Mess WithMe - paid
4. Commander Ryker - paid
5. kenichiukiya - paid

Yep, the first five are finished and paid, and now I work on the new list.

Hmm, I'd like to see what you can do with my mesmer, The Con Artist, when there's a spot available in your top 5 priority list. The only minis I have are a necrid horseman and a jungle troll. If you're not interested in those, I'll farm the 10k, since I'm pretty broke myself, too, lol. Or maybe I can try drawing your dervish, and we can do an art trade? I've never done those before, but it's worth a shot, I need practice with male figures, anyway.

So it's your pick.




Here's a rough idea I have in mind: I like the idea of my mesmer in Vabbian armor because to me, it just screams authoritarian. If you could come up with a pose that illustrates that, that would be awesome. I also would like him wielding the illusion staff which looks similar to a Rago's Flame Staff. Sorry for not including full body shots, but I don't have the entire Vabbian set, so the lower body is up for you to decide. Overall, I'd like the picture to have a dark atmosphere.

You can totally deviate from my idea, though, if you have something else in mind.

Uh, if you want, you can take a look at a few of my sketches in my photobucket album. They're not of the same quality as yours, and I don't really consider them good, though :S.

Anyway, I'll shut up now :P

Okay, I'd like you to draw my ranger, Hype Cronoz (btw, I'd like to know if you do pets (I have a croc), and if it costs extra. If you do I'd like to add screenies).
When he's got his fierce hammer in his hands, he gets an urge for devastation.

I'd like you to try and make him look dangerous-ish/scary ^^
But that's all I've got to add for you, thx ahead
I'm willing to pay a mountain troll and the 10k ^.^

That is amazing!! Very very nice work!!!

AGAIN, that is NOT worth 10K, imho. You really should spike your prices up.

wow, I can't wait!!!

I'm really glad you are ok drawing my moa. We are one entity. He seriously gets on my nerves sometimes, specially with his dreadful addiction of eating my bows. but, we love each other, and would not hesitate to put our lives on the line to protect each other.

I would like a place in the second round waiting list if one does exist.
Your choice of pose and armor.

I've started work on Verdura Mindcatcher's mesmer.

The image for Shiva Hataw has been updated, but here is a link for it too.

Oh man, I'm always late for these. Is it possible to reserve a spot in the list in advance?

You can keep a spot on the list. I only post the first five in line, because if something comes up IRL I don't want somebody waiting forever for a pic. Y'know, if you've got your eye on something else and think, "Gee, if I wasn't hangin' onto this for the commission, I could just afford this other thing." Only to find that...like...my house was demolished by a tornado or something...

Hehe, oh, and my root canal isn't until July 2nd, so as we get close to that I may cut the list short until I know how much pain I'm gonna be in. Otherwise I'll be working on the art pretty much nonstop.

Cheers. I like your art of the commisioners the best, so I'll find some pics and just wait for my turn, whenever that may be.

I think it would be better if her hair didn't have this very hard edge, though, looks a little unnatural

Sweet nice details and shading

But indeed, the neck is a bit on the long side and the pose is a bit stiff (or it may be the perspective being somewhat dull)

The colours and shades are pretty cool though Love your signature :P

Yes, yours is getting close to finished. All that remains is the armor and the bow. I am taking a step away from the collage-style work that I had been doing for more of a scenic picture. Like a comedic snapsnot from the life of a ranger and her bow-eating moa. Still looking very cool. If it doesn't make you chuckle to yourself, then I've messed up.

Awesome idea! I think the ranger is a bit too thin though and her pose is a bit weak, but the Idea and the moabird are just AWESOME!

If you hurry and post screenshots you can make it just in time, but after you I'm going to change things up.

Just an announcement to requests after this, I'm going to be shortening the list to 3 just to give a heads up that I'll be working on your art soon. I also ask of more description so I have a better idea of what to include (things like the location in-game where the character is most often seen, favorite colors, theme/personality); however as a reflection of the improved character insight, I'll also be raising the cost. 20k will get you work similar to what I've been doing, 50k gets you a higher resolution with more detail, but you can still get work for 10k (simpler portrait work). Also still accepting minipets of approximate value. This all comes in the wake of grey's "say no to commission queues" thread.

On the issue of camping the thread, I don't really see a huge problem with it. If you're nowhere near the list, I don't see much use in crowding up a page with screenshots, but as it gets closer, most people have been very quick to come in and update their request posts. I'm not likely to turn anyone down, but in the future I encourage people to post a little bit of a description with their initial request.

All that said, I love drawing and I love the education that I'm receiving by doing all these pictures. I hope that everyone enjoys their art and that in the future as I improve, you will return for some even better character art. Thank you all!
