Hello,

I opened this thread more to work on my artwork than to make money in Guild Wars, but hey that's just a bonus. I've never actually drawn Guild Wars characters before but I'm sure it's not much different than drawing people... just with fancy armor and weapons :D

Conditions of RequestsOne commission at a time per person Only 3 commissions at a time (Current work will be listed so you can keep track) All work will be done in pencil unless specially requested for it to be digitally painted (This will run you 10k extra) One fully shaded pencil drawing with whatever weapons, armor, and pose you desire is the standard for one portrait
CostsOne portrait: 20k One digitally painted portrait: 30k Additional features (ie. pets, minipets, etc.): +10k/each
Since I don't have any examples of character drawings, I'll just post a few things from my portfolio so you'll know if you like my style.

(Click thumbnail to enlarge)




Also, here's my dA page, http://lithiumpeanut.deviantart.com/

I hope you all enjoy what I have to offer and come back as often as you please.

Thanks you guys for liking my work, I'll get right on those. Since there aren't that many I'll do first come first served for now, so the assassin first, then the elementalist.

Character Name: Kirabi Wutang
Class: Assassin
Eye Color:Green
Persona: Always ready to charge into battle he thinks of himself more of a warrior that an assassin. But he understands that when the time calls for he he can be quiter than the night and darker than the shadows.

Reference picture(s): http://img13.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=gw832.jpg
Suggestions: An actiony pose, if you could try and work in the Split Chakrams it'd be amazing!

EDIT: After seeing Fire's Ele I'm going to have to change to a digital portrait. So in essence the 30k option.

The three pieces that you've displayed thus far are astounding, however, human portraits are far harder then still-life (Much to my own dismay). I would like to see what you can do with a guildwars figure before I request a commission myself.

You might want to post a link to your DA account:P
I saw "LithiumPeanut" from the name of the pics, so I guessed that was you

Yes, that's me, so I'm guessing you found my dA account? lol
For everyone else, my dA account is http://lithiumpeanut.deviantart.com just so you can see that, yes, I can draw humans as decently as still life and conceptual pieces.

I also added it to my first post.

Meh I see you already got similar mesmers in this thread, but I wouldn't mind one if you had the time still (Digitally painted)

She's inspired by the bride from kill bill, and her killing style is that of elegance and grace. She's definitely unafraid to kill. Yes I realize I've used the word 'kill' like 3 times already =P

Edit: Damn got too excited and posted before I read the 3 commissions only thing =P

Ok, I finished Smilin' Assassin's commission for Alacrity:



The face didn't really turn out how I'd hoped, but I hope you still like it anyway.


@Silverhand: Sorry but you have to pick one or the other, but you can totally get back in line and get the other ;]
(Plus if I did both at the same time it'd most likely be the same pose, you'll get two different ones if you go one at a time.)

Very interesting work. Dark and horrific fits Konig well...


I'll take "One portrait: 20k"



Biography:
Was born back in a time when Dhuum was still the God of Death, Konig was turned into a lich when he asked for power to kill those who were trying to kill him (who they were is now unknown, only Konig knows, as he killed many different groups of people). He was forced in his contract to Dhuum to act as a “living” Envoy for years, until Dhuum fell. But even then, Grenth forced Konig to continue duties, but in a more just matter.

When Abaddon rebelled, Konig made a deal with Grenth. Konig would help defeat Abaddon in exchange for his freedom. The deal was made and upon the victory of the True Gods, Konig’s duties were over. Konig enjoyed his freedom for many years, but soon (to him) became bored with nothing to do. He was witnessed Joko’s turn into becoming a Lich, and saw Thorn turn mad in life – which was partially caused by Joko’s turn into becoming a Lich. Konig now celebrates Thorn’s return with much eagerness, as he enjoys the slaughter that Thorn brings about – as he says, Halloween is a time for him to increase his “Deadite Army.”

Two hundred years ago, Konig sided with Palawa Joko in his war against Elona, but when Joko lost, Konig lost interest and left for Tyria where he met Mage Lord Odran. Lord Odran tricked and trapped Konig, using his energy to power some of the first portals. After the creation of the portals, Odran quickly locked Konig in the catacombs underneath Ascalon, where he was stuck there until 1070 AE. In 1070 AE, Azazel freed him when the Necromancer Order of Ascalon complained about a foul presence in the Catacombs that was, until recently, dormant. Upon freedom, Konig was sent north of the wall with Azazel to put a dent in the Charr’s invading force; here they met Agares Hastur – a very recent prisoner of the Charr. While north of the wall, the Searing occurred, the group only returned to “find bodies for rebuilding my army that was destroyed with Joko” as Konig stated.

For the work, just do whatever you want. Just keep that scar on his face ^_^ If you want to include his weapon, it would be a Deldrimor Staff

The rendering looks very good

Something you might want to pay attention to is where the shadow is. In that painting, based on the lighting, the shadow will be stretched either to the right or left of the figure.
I did a quick paintover (sorry, bad habit from being on art forums, tell me if you want me to remove) of some cross shadows http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/4909/paintover.jpg
It's pretty crappy, but it gives you a general idea

Thanks for the critique Blue, it's always welcome :]
The drop shadow was sort of a last minute thing to be honest, after I put the base colors down I realized she looked as though she were falling over and I just wanted to give some closure that she is on solid ground.

@Firebrazer: I'll be on tomorrow, right now I needs me some sleep, ttfn.

@Firebrazer: I'll be on tomorrow, right now I needs me some sleep, ttfn. I think the reason she looks like she is falling over is because her center of balance is a bit off. Nothing a bit of transform/rotate wont fix tho

of course, the hip will look kinda odd with just a simple rotation, but yeah.

Like what I've seen so far
I know I already have one comission
But I'm Interested in one for my war and also my Mesmer
Not sure how u want to work that since I'd rather not take up anyone else's opportunity
So put me down for atleast one at the bottom of ur list
And possibly a second after that one or later on
Thanks
