Tzu's Commissions
Tzu
► 1.) Please do not contact me or request commissions by any other means than posting in this thread. If that is for some reason impossible, you can contact me by e-mail. If a request reached my inbox and it isn't obviously special, I will simply delete it.
► 2.) You must stay in contact with me whilst in the commission queue. Please reply to any questions I might have a.s.a.p, and if I don't hear from you within a week I will have to move onto the next customer in line. Please tell me if you're going away or you won't be able to reply in a while, in advance.
► 3.) I will put contests first. If I don't have a lot of time, I will finish the commissions I know I can finish quickly first.
► 4.) You're allowed to pay more, either in the form of gold or in the form of selected items off the list below, to get your commission finished quicker than it originally would. I will have you climb above the names in the waiting list who pay less for a commission than you do.
Your Commission Will Look Something Like This:
random order...
Click The Images For Hueg Versions! 8D
What do YOU want?:
I don't set any limits to what I can do anymore; for a negotiated price I'll do practically anything!
~ I can draw whatever you like. I draw non-GW art, like your characters from other games or even completely original characters!
~ I'll elaborate the background, work more on your character's face or armour, just tell me how much detail you want!
~ I'll draw your minipets, pets, dreamt up pets, any creatures you would want, alone or with your character!
~ I'll draw couples, or groups of characters. I can draw your entire crew if you like!
Price:
At the moment I only do complete artworks, i.e fully coloured and with a background.
These prices are what I charge for a standard commission; 1 character, simple background.
♥ Full-Body: 200k
♥ Torso: 100k
♥ Painted Chibi: 20k (sketchy) 50k (full detail)
I can draw your character in an original or altered outfit or armour.
I also draw your original characters, these count as "original design"s.
♥ Original Design: +50k (torso OR full-body)
♥ Partial re-design: +20k (torso OR full-body)
Please include the following info when requesting a commission!
Quote:
Eye Colour: (doesn't matter if you made it up)
Personality: (also some notes about his/her background-story, if you have one)
Requested Background: (mountains? beach? forest? etc.)
Additional Notes: (anything you can think of which doesn't fit in anywhere else!)
♥ If you want me to draw additional characters, include this info about every character I'm going to draw.
♥ If you want other characters/pets to interact with your character, please tell me about their relationship first.
♥ Although the form above is short, do not let it get in the way of your imagination! I don't set any limits to what
I can and will draw, so whatever epic idea you have in mind; as long as you can pay for it, I'll draw it!
♥ You can, of course, choose to give me "full artistic freedom", and not use this form at all.
This could result in an interesting piece of art, but don't expect the details to be pin-point accurate!
Waiting List
The order is governed by who pays most + what I've got time for when.
I also have a tendancy to, when going head-first into an artblock, start working on other commissions.
Consider your place in this queue flexible, though I'm careful not to neglect people who have waited a long time.
Hailfall [PM] full body x 2 [BRIBE (200k+)] WIP: 80%
Terrorzelle 2 torso, full body [BRIBE (250k)] WIP: 50%
Carbajac 3 full body [ITEM BRIBE (258-262k)]
IceFiftyFive 1-3 full body [BRIBE (250k)]
Aeronwen Trewent [E-mail Special] full body x 3 [ITEM BRIBE (230-245k)]
Eilen chibi [BRIBE (90k+)]
Verene full body [BRIBE (80k)] [ON HOLD]
Little Shenanigan chibi
ajc2123 2 chibi + tip for extra detail!
Alacrity [may be moved down the list]full body
Massiva Impulsa chibi/full-body
Fey [PM special]
Revelations 2 chibi
Hailfall chibi
Tender Wolf full-body
Nahbois 2 chibi + 2 pets
Spectral Fox chibi + pet [30k]
Art Trade
independent of the waiting list, this is reserved for artists who have shown interest
in trading their art for mine. It's uncertain when I will get to these, it depends on
their free time, and mine.
HoodieStarFish [avatar, sig, threadfix] <-> [commission]

I tried using the pen tool/vectoring in the past, but I ended up giving up before my image was anywhere near complete.. I'm that impatient. x33
But if I had enough I'd definitely get something. =3
Even if you don't have a tablet, you can make some pretty good lineart on the computer drawing by mouse, you just need to have your hand married to the CTRL+Z buttons. =w=
As to colouring, there are tons of tutorials (most of which I find useless) but you probably already know that. xD your current style looks pretty nice, I might suggest experimenting with crisp edges in some places though for contrast, like how some shadows aren't always soft and blurry.

Line variation is overrated! you should try having no lines :P
Anyways, you can do line variation with anything if you work big enough... I've done it with a sharpie before XD
I kinda hate the pen tool. It's great to get reeaaalllly precise things done, but I find it slows down my workflow drastically. And considering how slow I work... :<
ANYHOO, I think you should attempt to use some more hard edges in coloring. I think it really makes an image pop if you learn how to manipulate edges to create a 3d effect (I am assuming you have a tablet btw).
This is a great little blurb on edge and it's effect on a drawn object.

And this as well:
http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/20...and-edges.html
Even if you are just beginning, keeping these things in the back of your mind can make a world of difference.
ALSO, I'm not sure if you are, but if you are using the dodge and burn tool, you should try going without them once or twice. Dodge and burn can make images look really shiny, but it also ruins the illusion of distance in a painting. You can do pretty much anything without using the dodge and burn, and it'll probably look better as well :P
PM me or IM me on MSN if you need any help with digital stuff. I get that digital can be slightly different when you just start out, but it really becomes a favored medium, because it's SO easy and SO CHEAP
(I apologize in advance if I sound too presumptuous :\) Arrgh! You win. /cuts
All my attempts at lineless art have ended in epic failure. (And I still can't figure out what brush settings to use for painting/lineless on Photoshop.)

See, I prefer the pen tool for doing lineart, as even with a tablet I cannot draw a straight, smooth line to save my life - and forget about attempting it with a mouse. Before I discovered the pen tool I tried doing it just with the brush tool, and it took about six hours to ink one drawing to look halfway-decent. I can do it perfectly in 20 minutes with the pen tool.
Tzu
very very useful, thanks Blue!
*Will be bugging you on msn from now on* >:3
I hope to make some improvements in my next commission, trying out some new things! Of course, nothing too radical, don't want to give a customer something he/she didn't expect ^.^'
Gah, wish I wasn't swamped in costume-work atm, then I would've been sitting down for a few days, just tinkering with PS and trying out new stuff!

...costume work!
You are making me wish I had more time to work on cosplay these days :P
Tinkering with PS and trying out new things is always the best way to learn new techniques you like; also keep in mind that pretty much anything that can be done in PS, there's a dozen different ways to do it

For some reason, until quite recently, line art has always proved to be far more popular for fan art both by those seeking to get a commission done and competition judges.
Certainly that has been the case on these forums at least.

Verene: I saw your sailor cos! It was very well made, I would love to see more from you! :3
Araiia: haha, thanks! I've got to finish 6 costumes before october, at the least! Needless to say, I'm not doing much else atm... Q.Q
Widowmaker: you're right. no idea why, I prefer realistic style when it comes to illustration, though I'm crap at it myself. XD

(assuming you're using Photoshop, of course)
I've a tutorial I wrote on that, since I usually scan drawings and ink and color them in PS - it's located here. Nice tutorial! ^_^

Smilin' Assassin
hallo, this thread is kinda quiet for someone of your talents .. anyways, I have something with you specifically in mind ~
* * * * * *
Alacrity isn't a normal assassin, and often wishes that she were a Mesmer, or sometimes a Ranger ..
so I'd love a portrait of her in Cross-Profession clothing~! (cross-gender if you like too~!)
option 1: mesmer poseur
dress her in your choice of Mesmer Attire ~ imo Elite Elegant (either gender) is the quintessential costume for that prof, but any of them will be fine, Ala has to make to with what she er, finds ..
play with colours as you like; Ala's faves are blue-purples, browns, black, greys, soft pink, appx in that order
she's pirouetting as she squeals with delight, or give her one of the poncy mesmer emotes, or casting a spell, as you please ~
items unnecessary, tho some Mesmer paraphernalia Ala has customised include the Willcrusher and a Celestial Staff
option 2: wannabe ranger
as above, but this time Ranger gear again either gender ~ I don't know as much about Ranger costumes as you do, pick something simple tho .. obsidian does not suit her persona
Alacrity can be firing a bow with glee (her collection would be the envy of many a Ranger, ya I know, wasted customising em for a Sin ..), cammed up in ambush, talking or cuddling with Caspar her pet white tiger (extra cost I know), or even riding him (ya I read too much ElfQuest~!)
option 3: messing with heroes
this time Alacrity is dressed in clothes exclusive to a Hero, I'm thinking either Jin (Elite Sunspear) Gwen (Deldrimor gown) or of course Anton (Brotherhood)
she can be partially dressed, as if she's pilfered them and trying them on whilst their owner isn't looking (tho .. they'd be at least four sizes too big for little Ala~!)
if you want to include the unfortunate hero somewhere in the pic, partially nekky and pondering what Ala's tunic is doing in their stash, well, I'll pay, it'll be worth it:}
* * * * * *
you'll probably only need refs for Ala's face for now .. she's a lot scrawnier than a mesmer or ranger (but you knew that)
You may need other refs, depending on what option if any you choose, just let me know
am in no hurry, and I realise that this is a bit offbeat and am in no way offended should you decline ~ I do have lots of other concepts that will come out well in your style (tho of course they are likely to be just as way out~@!)
~> hm best not to PM me on Guru, I don't log in here that often .. I'm ingame everyday but at opposite timezone to you .. there's no hurry so just updating this thread oughta be fine.
I'll let you figure out your fee ~ I can pay in advance and tip after if you like too ~

Just finished Krazy Kat's request. As You might be able to tell, I'm changing my style a little. Taking in some CC and trying to work my way toward more realistic and thorough pieces. I won't change the prices, though I will spend a *lot* more time on these types (>.<'), but tips are very welcome. I will still try to manage 1 commission a week or so, still.
Oh, and Kat, I've got a "just Alexa" version too, without the flame and snow, if you want to use that for something.
Yay, an Alacrity commission! \^.^/
Sounds terribly exciting, I'm looking forward to it!

That drawing looks absolutely wonderful Tzu. EXCELLENT WORK.
I'll have to meet you in-game to pay for it. And sure, I'll take the "just Alexa" version also =).

I'm so glad you liked it! ^.^
Very prompt payment, too! XD
Even if you had to put up with stalkers, haha :3
Here's the "just alexa" version. http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs44/f/20..._Adamoluna.jpg for editing purposes or whatever, if you want to play around with it, want to crop pieces without the lighting.. I dunno, I thought it's useful to have anyways.

Hey Tzu!
I'd love a drawing of my mes (I'd go with the Torso: 30k). I was thinking a picture of her blowing a kiss to the camera! Here's some pictures:
Before you get started though, I wanted to ask can you include my kuunavang minipet floating in the background? And also if I asked you to do full body, how much would it cost/would you even be willing to doa picture of my mes or monk doing the /fame emote, of the tiger? This is a ref:
video: fame emote - tiger
Thankies ^^

Oh my lord! That last commission was AMAZING O_o *Jumps up and down* IM NEXT IM NEXT ^_^ can't waaaaaaiiiiit.......but I'm not rushing you...just letting you know how awesome your doing.
Chicken of the Seas
I'm guessing you were experiencing with line art-less drawings? (or at least using colored lines) I think it looks great, your older pictures are awesome too but I definitely see an improvement =D
