EmJey`s Commission

Hi,
first of all - amazing artwork! I could go on and on about how I love the contrast of light and dark in the second one, and the amazing details, but let's just say I was stunned
So I'm going to try for this, and hope to inspire you
I'd like you to work with my Paragon, Eryn Shadowbane. She's my absolute favourite character, has been through every possible situation in GuildWars and is very special to me. I do not usually make up stories and pasts for my characters, but here's a short paragraph of something I wrote a while ago, which gives you a bit of an idea. Anti-heros have always appealed to me, and I felt that the strong angelic reference in paragons had to be balanced and contrasted with something sinister.
----------------------------------------------
Though barely past noon, the weak sun cast but a deceptive, fleeting light over the vast, bleak ridges of the Poisonous Outcrops. This far in the north, Abaddon’s dark clutch was almost physically tangible, defying the otherwise supreme reign of Elona’s sun. The continuous battle of day and night has plunged the region into perpetual twilight, occasionally broken only by vicious flashes of green where Abaddon’s poison prevailed over the seemingly impenetrable black rock. A haunt of the undead. A haunt of demons.
Eryn had long since given up wondering why time upon time she felt drawn to this forbidding place. Brought up by the Sunspears, Eryn had never known her parents. The order had educated her, trained her to fight darkness and injustice and had christened her with a surname they felt would plant fear into the hearts of their enemies. Yet somehow she had always known that there was more to her past. Something no one knew, or no one told her about. A dark stigma that clung to her, setting her apart from others, inspiring dark dreams and dark moods. A stigma that had scared her in the past but one she had long since come to accept. A stigma that time upon time pulled her to this place like an invisible force, making her wander the eerie paths, lost in dark thought.

May I say, wow as well, absolutely stunning artwork. I mean really, you can't teach that lol. I think I'll load up some pics of my mes see how that goes But in all honesty, you got a real knack for this, that's probably some of the best artwork I've seen on Guru.

Fabulous work, the detail is outstanding. So much so you can see the definition in both right hands. (Probably not intentional but it appears that the hand on the left arm is a righty). Pardon the pun, but I'm blown away.
These two works are excellent. It shows your dedication to your art and I for one can't wait for your unveiling...

Nemesis Xero
Omg that's just amazing, you got a lot of talent 
that ranger looks stunning! I'd certainly be interested in a commision, gonna dig through my screenshot map right away
/edit:
Ok found some screenies to try my luck
Nemesis Xero, my very first and all-time favourite character. Being an adventurer she crossed all the continents together with her faithful companion, Echo the Lynx, but every once in a while she returns to Cantha, the place where she was born and raised. She adores places like the Southern Shiverpeaks and the wide plains of Vabbi for their beautiful nature and sights, but for her they can never beat the memory of the hills of Shing Jea, the skies of Nahpui or the woods of the Echovald Forest.
Some background information: she wears obsidian armor and wields a tormented recurve bow most of the time. Her lynx Echo is a lot with her on her trips.
And in case you don't wanna draw a ranger again, my second favourite character Callisto Xero
My current favourite armor is her obsidian, she uses her dragon staff in most cases (she's fascinated by dragons) and she has a hyena pet (Daemon).
Hope you like 'em
I'm also in GMT+1 btw, I forgot to mention that before.

I'd love to put my necro up for this, but in all honesty, seeing what people charge and are paid for commissions, I don't think I could afford to pay what I think your work is worth.
Lovely style, your backgrounds are magnificent. Any time you feel like doing a guide on those, you feel free.

Can I ask a question?
How does one get into being a freelance artist? It's sort of my dream career (that, or a concept artist). Obviously, my art is a LONG way away from yours, but I like to think that, with time, teaching and the right tools; I can go a long way. But I haven't the foggiest where to start in terms of getting commissions.
You're not obliged to answer this, of course - it's something of a tangent from the thread topic.

Bestian - well being a freelance artist its alright at some sort you are your own master you dont have a boss standing behind ur back watching or telling you what to do all the time, but its not that easy as it seems, its quite hard to get seme decent payed jobs out there unless if your a child of wonders, best of the best, you have to work hard to get somewhere and aventually people come to you for hire. I worked at many different companies before i opened my own studio, for the past 10 years or so, then few years back i got lucky working on mitsubishi pajero commercial, then things just sorta start oppening up for me, i still dont do what i always dreamt of being an illustrator for games or film perhaps, that is yet my dream that im working on.I mostly do tv commercial art , storyboards, matte paintings , and concept art.Thats where the money is. As it comes to games or film, those companies hire best people in the market, the competition is high and even if you get in , you get a contract for 6 up to 12 months tops then your work is usually done there and you can go home.Its very unstable industry to be in or to make somesort of a safe career.But yeah as long as you love to draw you just keep on working on your skills, once you get to some level, make sure you get yourself a website showing ur portfolio and all, and be active as much as you can on different cg forums online such as Deviantart or cgsociety. Its good you start working at the companies first to gain some experience and see how things works before you go freelance.
Vulpes Rex - christ i hope i spelled that right heh sure im up for it , btw nice website nice drawings too.

EmJey - Your art is absolutely stunning. I know I have posted my complements about the picture of your ranger in your other thread, but I must say that I am just as impressed by the bottom picture. The shading, the proportions, the mood...EVERYTHING is absolutely perfect. You are an absolutely inspirational artist and I CAN NOT wait to see more of your artwork.

Age: 25
more info about her: The love for necromancy goes deeper with her then some other necros. To her it is not a profession, it is her way of life. She lives and breathes necromancy and is constantly trying to perfect her minions and her spells.
She is a little on the crazy and dark side but also has her kind moments, especially to those who she considers friends.

Beautiful work! The detail and lighting is amazing.
I hope you pick my elementalist for your next painting. She is very majestic and mysteriously beautiful. Her name is My Angel Wings. Here she is!
Her Story:
As a little girl Angel grew up on a local fishing boat with her father. Always exposed to the waves of the sea, she grew to love the smell of salt water. The gentle rocking of the boat could always realx her no matter how she felt. Even in an early age it was apparent she had a special love for the power of water and sea. In the winter she loved to watch the waters turn to ice, the rain turn to snow, and the air became brisk and cold. It was her favorite time of year.
Angel Wings got her name during a lazy afternoon as she and her father were walking the shores. He said she should have been born with angel wings so she could fly away from this place to find a better life. Her father said that a fisherman's life is no life for his daughter. No matter how much she tried to convince her father she was happy, he still wanted her to go out into the world and become something more. A year later her father was murdered by a one of Varesh's men during a raid when Angel was just 10. She barely escaped by jumping into her father's boat and drifted off into the seas. She took harbor at the ports of Lion's Arch until she turned 16 when she set out into the world to fulfill her father's last wish of living a different life.
Using the memory of her father to drive her ambitions, Angel became a powerful elementalist. She mastered fire in the volcanoes of Abaddon and she wielded the wind in the deserts of Elona. She learned how to conquer the power of Earth through her travels with the dwarfs. However none of these elements captured her heart as much as the flowing power of Water. It has been said that her true self always emerges when she calls upon the power of Water and Ice, for that is where her home is.

For an art trade, are you looking to do just guild wars characters, or would you be interested in doing an original character instead? -just curious, so I know which refs to round up- :3

Stunning work, EmJey. You have incredible talent with backgrounds, and your commish for Morag D shows skill with dynamic poses that I can only dream of.

Alrighty, the sheer awesomeness of your art has inspired me to throw my hat into the ring. I've been silently shopping for a quality commission for a little while, and have kind of a tough proposition for you if you choose to accept it. So, here goes:
Most of my gameplay revolves around the three Lightmare sisters, each with their own ideals and ambitions.
The eldest, Sedona, is an idealist. First to rise to the challenge of defending her homeland and kinsmen from the evil that threatens them, she has never backed down from a call to duty, to a challenge of self-sacrifice to the greater good. When new threats arose in her sisters' chosen homelands, she was compelled to protect her own flesh and blood from these adversaries, whether they wanted/needed it or not. Trained from a child in the art of face-to-face combat, she is a master of any martial weapon she lays a hand on. She likes to face her foes up close and personal.
The middle child, Iva, has always thought of herself before others. A fashion nut, she only wants, and feels she only deserves, the best. When her family home of Ascalon was destroyed, she was off sampling the wonders and riches of Vabbi, and has no remorse for the loss of her parents, who she feels were outdated and tried to stifle her dreams. She uses her charms to get her way, and if she is refused, her tantrums can be devastating to all those around her. A master of all things ethereal and elemental, she can call upon a variety of magics to suit her needs. An eternal flirt, without any interest in any single commitment, she uses those who can help her attain what she wants, and throws them away later like a used sock.
The youngest, Lina, has always had a mean streak. As all youngest children are, they feel they need to work extra hard to measure up. Eternally jealous of her eldest sister's fame, she left Tyria the first chance she saw, and sought training from the world's foremost masters of hand to hand combat at Shing Jea Monastery. She strives daily to break free from Sedona's shadow and make a name for herself. She has no use for frivolities...her only worldly possessions are her collection of combat arms, a set of daggers for every purpose, because she feels that swords aren't personal enough and shields are for weaklings. Any rewards she obtains in her pursuit of self-improvement that do not directly assist her in battle she gives willingly to her sister Iva, who she feels she has a rather close bond with despite their personality differences. She can be found challenging Norn to 1 on 1 battles in the far shiverpeaks, or working to impress her Diety of choice, Grenth, by ridding his realm of those that would circumvent his authority.
If you choose to use all three or just your favorite of them, that's fine either way. But I really would like to see something with all three in some kind of interaction. I'll let you use your imagination for this.
I have/can get more images of all three if required.
