Here's a collection of my recent drawings and paintings. I'll update this with as I come up with new stuff.
I tend to paint in black and white because I haven't found a colouring style I like. Usually stuff looks too saturated, or bland, and I end up with something I'm not happy with.
As for subjects, I like drawing people most of all. People, pure and simple, without distracting backgrounds. I don't try to tell a story with my drawings, instead, I try to capture a character, if that makes any sense.
So enjoy, I appreciate any comments you might have. =)

I second the comissions question, Stunning stuff. especially the last one.
Sectus
That artwork looks absolutely stunning.
Is it permitted of me to stab the first 2 people who mentioned commissions so I can be the first one to request it?

Some very very nice work. I love them. =3
If you do decide to do commissions, (totally up to you, you're not being forced.) check out the commissions central area.
Cant wait to see more, btw. =3

OMG, those look like photographs! Excellent work. I'd like to jump on the commission bandwagon too.
Divine Freak
Beautiful work. Can't wait to see more.

I was thinking of starting up a commissions thing, but I haven't worked out all the details yet. Since I'm running out of things to do in GW, it might be a good idea to do some art work (seems like there will be a lot o.o). More info later.
AW Lore: I'm glad she's somewhat recognisable lol. She looks so much better than the standard saucer-eyed females in anime.
Shan: Check your PM.

I do love the detail on the gun for Re-l. She is actually one of my favorite anime women. =3
Also that 3rd picture I cant even tell if its a real photo or not. It's great either way, but would be AMAZING if its painted/drawn.

Wow... that is incredible. I had to take several looks at the third picture to work out if it was a photo or not. Just gorgeous!
And a big "pretty please??? " for commisions from me and my husband as well, we will be watching closely to hope that we get in the commision rush

I have to ask... Was that last one done with Charcoal or pencil.. or what? Asking because it reminds me of the charcoal work we did in my college drawing class.. although better than anything I ever turned out
Very nice work.
Very nice work.

Your work looks fantastic.
I haven't posted on these boards in ages, but you just convinced me to keep a closer eye on this section. I'm a fan of black-and-white over color as well, and I'm always impressed when an artist can transcend the loss of a spectrum to create a gorgeous piece. You did it. Commissions, pweez. 
Seriously, outstanding art. Keep it up!

And yes, i will too jump on the end of the long line, if you are thinking of doing commissions.

I would assume if comisions are done that a new threat, thus a new list would be started.

Wow, just stopped to give some respect for these masterpieces.

New pic on front page =) It's a commission for Shan, finished a few days ago.
This level of work is a little too much for me to handle, so I don't know if I should open up for commissions. It'd be a little disappointing to start and be physically unable to meet everybody's requests (assuming you guys want the full painting). I might start a commissions thread anyway, and just take it slow. What do you guys think?

kenichiukiya
Just start it if you feel like it...a lot of the artists here have commissions and they're going slow and easy (just like me, haven't been updating for a long long time due to busy life)...just because all of us here understand that we all have a life too!! hehe...
Unlucky Slayer
You're welcome to open up the thread, and take as many or as little as you want at a time. I'm sure everyone here doesnt mind waiting for great work and would still follow you even if its 6 months down the road. heh
Shanaeri Rynale
Yay I love the comission you did for me Sab, it was really fast too. I've kinda gotten used to waiting for months but you had a sketch ready in hours and it was done in a matter of days.
Now I know any future comissions you do may not be as fast, but it was great to chat and work with you, and I wish you well in the future.
Thanks so much.

Invertation
I'm a seeker of art, as many, and not to ruin anyone elses parade, but if you are intending to take it slow, good luck. You will get zerged with requests, so my advice to you: plan low.
Verdura Mindcatcher
She's already gotten zerged with requests and she's not even open yet.
Timeless Logic
The decision to open for commissions is totally yours.
If you decide to accept commissions, one option is to set a maximum per week or some cap that will allow you to produce quality art and allot you the spare time you deserve and require.
If at any point you feel rushed, pressured or unable to keep up with the pace of requests, just shut down until you can catch your breath. I think everyone here wants the high quality of art displayed in your samples, and if you're mentally outpaced that won't be possible. It's no one's fault, just an unfortunate reality. With that said, I advise you to take it slow. It's much easier to increase your applicant pool than shrink it, so only draw commissions from a small group initially, such as close friends or guildmates. Remember, this is a game, and we all deserve time to enjoy it!

If you decide to open commissions, I'd like one too. I don't think many people on this forum would mind waiting a while though, so you could take it as slow as you'd like.

I could've sworn the last picture was real until I looked more at it. Fantastic work.
