I'd really like a painted one of my monk displaying her tiger emote. If adding the emote is too much extra work you can skimp on the background, I don't care. It looks like you will probably get tired of doing commissions but if you DO get to me let me know and I will send you any other references that could help. She is a cute little monk, but I'd like to see her also looking powerful with her Bone Dragon Staff, busting out a tiger. I really like your action shots that I saw on DA ~ you get the idea of movement, and choosing smart angles to make your art come alive, and I know you could make this look amazing.

I've spent a lot of time mixing (ugly monk) armor sets, and the pic below is of the best mix i could come up with. But the one thing that always bugged me was even though I tried to dye the tattoos invisible it doesnt quite look it. Point of that: I would be STOKED if you could draw her, and you could just not draw the tattoos, haha. My monkadunk would look cute for once :P I've also always thought the characters look lame doing the /fame emotes because they just /cheer and then stand there. One of your strong action poses would look SO awesome with that emote, and monk could still have her cute staff, unlike when you do the emote in game.

I don't RP so I can't tell you a lot there, but I have been playing guild wars since it came out and am very into HA, so that tiger emote def means something to me. And so does my monk, with 12 mil exp, and since she has farmed the large majority of my fame. She's spent most of her time in hero's ascent, and according to GW lore it's basically a global tournament where teams compete against each other for the god's favor and amusement... kind of like one big gladiator's arena in the sky! So even though my monk looks probably kind of harmless, I still think of her as being fierce... having weathered so many battles on the way to the HoH. So imagine fighting all these teams to get to the hall and winning it - I just see her standing on the altar of the hall of heroes in one of your awesome battle stances, her tiger leaping out and howling in victory! cool, no? <3

If you're interested here's a couple pictures, and I can get you anything else you need if you decide to do it!

Kuunavang

Thanks a lot.

p.s. pick me pleeease XD
p.p.s. i go nowhere without my kuunavang minipet... i dont want to tax you if its already a lot of work doing this, but if you put him in there (even if he's just a squiggly smudge in the background) somewhere that would pretty much make it perfect
p.p.p.s. please leave the file as big as you have it when you work with it - i would like it to be my desktop =)

Order: Painted Subject, 50k + Background, 20k = 70k + TIP Completed. This is a lo-res sample; full image will be PM'ed to you after payment.

Thanks for your patience; I think you've probably been the most, er, shall I say, "forsaken" commissioner I've seen so far. Hope you find the wallpaper satisfactory. If you need it larger than 1680xBlah or some odd W:H ratio I'll resize it again for you.

Tidus & Valeria: I understand your impatience but I did reserve rights to skip around the queue at will. Also, the queue listed is merely a rough estimate and may be changed without notice at any time. I picked Sarra June for this last commission based on what seems to me the fact that she's posted numerous requests before and I have yet to see a finished piece for her [esp compared to some members that already have had multiple pieces done]. If you feel your money can be better spent elsewhere, feel free to cancel anytime. ^^

Please respect the fact that GW art commissions are merely a side activity and I have many other concerns in RL that take precedence, especially since I can't live off of GW cash. Thanks.
