Will Draw for Ale!
Kyrra
Here's my problem: I'm less than 4,000 minutes away from finally getting my Incorrigible Ale-Hound title, but I only have 300 minutes of alcohol left. Since I'm tired of helping Kilroy punch-out Fronis repeatedly, I thought I'd offer art in exchange for ale.
Examples
1. My Mesmer and her boyfriend in winter clothes
2. A slightly older picture of them
3. An original character
4. My monk dancing
5. Mesmer bust
6. An old picture, but an example of armor
7. A dragon, for more examples of coloring
8. Unshaded picture from last year
9. A Maleficent sketch
(finished commission examples are below)
Pricing
I'm new at this, so I'm not really sure what to charge. Suggestions are welcome, but I'm thinking since alcohol can be bought pretty cheap from other players, 400 minutes worth of alcohol for a full-body color, and 200 for a half-body color, or full-body sketch. If you want something different like a bust, or added pet, we can work something out. You can also get Monastery Credits cheaply and exchange them for ale. If you have firewater, spiked eggnog or aged dwarven ale, those count as 3 minutes, so only 1/3 as much would be needed than if paying in normal ale. I accept any type of alcohol in any combination. If anyone is unfamiliar with how the Drunkard title works, go here.
1 Dwarven ale = 1 minute
400 Dwarven Ale = 400 minutes
1 Aged Dwarven Ale = 3 minutes
1 Firewater = 3 minutes
1 Spiked Eggnog = 3 minutes
133 Firewater = 399 minutes
All other types of alcohol (eggnog, vabbian wine, rice wine, etc.) = 1 minute
What I need from you
1. Screenshots. The closer the better, with multiple angles and a face close-up.
2. A personality description
3. Age
4. What kind of pose you want
5. What kind of picture (full body color, sketch...), and if your picture is colored what kind of lines you want (example 1 and 2, or example 3).
6. Any other specifications or relevant information
After I finish the sketch, I'll send it to you for approval. Any minor changes can be made at this time. When you approve of the sketch, I'll color it and send you the full version. Unless you just wanted a sketch.
The List - Closed until completed

2. Lyonette

Your idea is amazing and your coloring is amazing. I did not quite understand how the person giving you ale or you are not going to scam us or we not going to scam you. Maybe you could send the person who is going to give you ale an example of the picture you are going to draw first and than send another picture of the exact thing your going to draw and like you said to make sure that its ok. To be honest I don't think your going to scam us but I think that people are going to scam you. Personally, I would not do this at guru at all but I would go out and earn my own ale and not have to worry about people scamming.
- I hope that your idea does not turn into a huge disaster but a success and I hope everything goes well

don't all comissions have that risk?
Usually peaple have a reputation to loose at GW guru so scamming is not a big problem at the art section.
sending a thumbnail is an option of cause...

Excellent! Valeria, just let me know what you want drawn.
I don't really see how using ale as a method of payment would make more of a risk for scamming? Either you pay in ale or you pay in gold or you don't pay at all...And I'm not asking for it up front so it's not like I'm scamming you. :P I guess I could send a watermarked version of the picture before the ale is sent. I've already farmed a lot of ale and I would prefer to spend my time drawing.

Ale/booz/liquor, whatever you wanna call it.
~nymph~
I'd love a drawing from you, but I have to get some ale first!

400. A cheaper method would be to buy 133-134 Flasks of Firewater in the Great Temple of Balthazar for 250-300g each.
Kyrra
Feast, I would prefer ale because then I don't have to find players selling it. But maybe if enough people would rather pay in gold, that could change.
Sorry it's confusing, I thought the link would help. I'll update the post with some examples.
Hailfall
How much would it be for two halfbody colors of two chars? 2 x 200 minutes?
I am thinking, of as a present getting a drawing made for my friend and want to include both are chars in there. Kinda like example 1. you posted 
Lyonette
oooooooooooooooh i like! :3
i have around 400 mins of drunkeness stashed on a mule as well... :O edit: question for you tho... are you moar comfortable drawing females or males or both? i would want a commission for my ele [in my av pic] and i'd want him to look masculine XD so thought i better ask before :3 Stephen John
i sent u a private message with some questions but i think i better get on the list
Kyrra
Hailfall- yes that would be 400 minutes. Shall I put you on the list and you can send me pictures after I'm done with the first two?
Lyonette- What, is my ranger not manly enough for you?  I think females are easier, but I can do males too. I just took a class in figure drawing, so I could send you some examples of the male models when I get back to my home computer this weekend. If you decide you want a drawing, you'll get to approve the sketch to make sure it's masculine enough.As a general notice, I don't have access to my computer with Photoshop until this weekend, so I'm just working on sketches.
Hailfall
Kyrra you got a pm
the shadowed fox
You got some nice work going on there shame im not a bar otherwise you artwork would look great on my guild's site
sickle of carnage
I love the dragon :P Maybe I'll invest some cash into alcohol sooner than I thought! (Hate drunkard title xD)
Vic
Got 400 minutes here...(can of course give way more if you want
) PM me if you've got some time for me too. -Vic
Kyrra
Ok, that's 4 people, so I'm closing the list until I finish these. I'm coloring Valeria's now.
Lyonette
Eeep.
 I'm posting then to be next in line for when Kyrra reopens the list. Lol, I'd really love one of these and just got my alcohol collected last night.
Messy
Awesome work there!
I don't know if you are allowing a waiting list....... if you do, I would appreciate if you add me. If not.... I'll just keep my eyes open. I do have the liquor.
Kyrra
Ok, I can put you both on the list since Valeria's is done (unless she wants color adjustment). I just don't want a really long list since that will stress me out.
Valeria
Hooray it's finished!
My Julius looks pretty sexy imho 
~nymph~
Yay! It's finished, and it's looks amazing. Thanks Kyrra
I'll try to catch you in-game sometime.
Smilin' Assassin
wow, both pics are amazing~!
I love all your detailing, which esp shines on Nymph's Plat Bow ~ also their expressions (yes Nymph's calm scrutiny is discernible under that mask~!) /sigh, you've prolly no need for cash after this, tho if you ever open commishes again I'd also be interested ..
Kyrra
Thanks!! Oh, don't worry. I'm still going to need more ale after I finish these.
But it will be a while.
Kyrra
Hey everyone,
I just finished moving back to school, so things will be busy. I had hoped to finish commissions over the summer, but they took way longer than expected. I'll still be working on them, but please bear with me as I'll have schoolwork as well.
Hailfall
And she finished mine
Me and (especially) my friend are very happy Now i just gotta meet Kyrra in game to pay
