Commission - Open: Rydia's Commissions

Recently I have had the great allowance of some extra time on my hands, and to fill it, I have decided to begin doing art commissions again. In posting here, I am mainly interested in art exchanges to honor my beloved GW girls, as I am not as heavy a GW player as I once was and have most of the goodies I need. Though in game gold can be offered as there are a few items my girls were hoping to get before I left Tyria forever. Yasmin, my mesmer was privileged enough to get a beautiful portrait done and she is interested in more. But I don't want to leave out my beloved ele either!

I've been drawing from before I can remember. I have competed and won several art shows in the Sacramento, California area. My work has been featured in some Duran Duran fanzines and I have been commissioned by one person in particular...below is my signature portrait of Simon Le Bon, the lead singer for my favorite band Duran Duran:

And me delivering the piece to the happy customer, the Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon himself!


Below are varied examples of my style, and a link to my deviantART page

My portfolio contains my signature art style which I call "Manila works". Each drawing by me is done on manila paper (commonly used as file folders) as I like the way the paper smudges when blending pencils with blend sticks and kleenex. I use basic no. 2 pencils, prismacolor pencils, crayola crayons, felt markers and black ink to produce my works. I love people--their expressions and faces--so portraits of faces, celebrity or otherwise, tend to be my main subjects.

Though I also do more traditional pen and ink styles. The Manila Works take longer than the pen and ink styles with similar detail or in comic book style.

Submit character images here for me to review. I'm looking for motion, action, a story behind your character and photographic like images of them that I can bring to life.

For exchanges, below are links to images of the girls.
Dahalia my shy, but girl-next-door pretty ele. Dahalia loves drinking contests (she's an ale hound!) and her bff Vekk.

If you are interested, don't feel afraid to inquire about prints or even celebrity portraits, as you can see on my deviant page, celebrity art is my forte! I can be contacted here via this thread, on GWW http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User:Yasmin_Parvaneh or via my deviantART page linked above. Though other types of non-GW related art should be directed at my other pages. Happy posting!!

reposted from perynne's thread ;P

Name: Stormcrow

Info: half-canthan, loves nature and solitude, main element=lightning, accompanied by a mysterious spirit crow

sorry i dont have any fancy backstory... he's just a thinly disguised self-insertion char. i dunno if u want money or art trade? pm me if interested =D

EDIT:

K, decision has been made thanks to a random person.
My Ranger: I Terran Ghost I.

Various Angles.

With wolf.

Terran Ghost is a sneaky huntress. She does not use her eye-sight but purely works only with her other sences. The Black Wolf is her extremely aggressive but loyal pet. She has the skills noone can ever imagine. Her sences are so advanced that she can snipe things before one would notice she's there. Her arrows have the ignition noone would be able to make.

I really LOVE your pen and ink comicbook style particularly the last one. I am interested in an art trade if you'd allow me to color the final work as a collaboration piece at some point in time (full credit for ink and pencils to you of course!). A special request is that I'd like the art to be at least 1000 pixels in height (the bigger the better) for easier coloring/rendering later on

As for the trade: I'd be willing to do either of these if you think they are reasonable. The first option is obviously the faster one. If you have something else in mind feel free to let me know. I am flexible as long as the timeline will not be an issue:

1. I will color (w/background) one of your pencils/ink drawings of your choice.

Here are my latest art as a reference of my coloring (and drawing) style:

2. Digital drawing (portrait/half body/full body - depending on which one you choose to do for me) no background/simple background.


As for the character I wish for you to draw. It's this one (a spin off of my mesmer who looks exactly like yours lol):
