Commission - Open: Skaia's Commissions

Hi all! I was directed here by a friend (Gwee), who said it would be a good place to offer commissions. So here goes:




I paint digitally (pen + tablet) in a realistic style with attention to detail. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge.


Rules
- Let me know your IGN, the details of your commission, and any references you want me to use. Please include multiple screenshots from different angles and at least one close-up of the head. If you request a portrait only, I don't need full body shots.
- I will send you regular updates of the work in progress as I paint.
- You may request changes at any time, however I will make major changes only in the beginning stages, and minor changes in the later stages. If the changes significantly increase my working time, the price of the commission will go up!
- When I am done with the painting, I will show you a size-reduced, watermarked version of the final image.
- Once I have received your payment, I will upload or email you the image as a high-resolution (300 dpi), non-watermarked JPG file (or other file format of choice).
- The artwork is for your personal use only! You may not redistribute, sell, upload or reproduce it in any way without my written permission! However, using it in avatars or forum banners is allowed. I reserve the right to post the finished product in my art galleries.
- I also reserve the right to deny a commission for any reason (though that will rarely happen).
- I have decided I will not paint any NSFW pictures at this time.
- One open slot at a time. Feel free to put yourself on the waiting list.

Gogo Gwee for bringing in more Artsiefarty! Looks nice, already knew the first monk picture, but those others look nice too. Sadly enough can't affort these at the moment, but I wish you good luck on the requests I'm sure you will get

'tis a hefty fare you ask, but I can't help temptation. I'll fill that first slot and get this post filled with the appropriate information within the hour.

One belated edit later...

1 additional character and a detailed background, so 300k on this one.
Saer, Face.
Details: Eye color is light blue/cyan.
More soldier than assassin. It is the war she aims to win, and the battle that she fights to get there, not the life of the man she just slew to get there.
Her passion for battle inspires awe in her comrades, and instills fear in her foes.
She comes equipped with styles and ranges of weapons, including a twin pair of katanas, halberd and whatever mechanism suits the purpose of the day's battle.
Other odd refs: 1, 2.
Other requests: Without the headband and mask, and daggers on gloves.

Asereth
Details: Eye color is a dark, navy blue.
Her experience in battle has led her to take positions of command over many in her lifetime. Never has such authority deprived her of fighting on the front lines with her allies, though, and she would gladly die in battle if serving her duty cost her so. Battle hardened and often seen as emotionless, she leads a battle on without fear, and is a token of morale.
She is unrestrained by choice of weapons, but is most often seen wielding a bastard sword.
Other odd refs: 1
Other requests: Without the headband.


The day grows dark, the sun seeks refuge behind the mountain side, painting the valley in between in an orange-red glow as twilight takes over the sky. The battle hewn earth had many a tale to tell of men's valor, a justice fought for one seen as nothing more than the vile goal of conquest by another. The land sought to hide that well, and maintained what it could of the lush colors of nature, with only the hills and rocky outcrops between to bear witness to the history of the area.
Two souls stand resolute, blades held high, and focus unassailable. Their shadows, stiff as stone, speak only of the motions to come. The air gone stagnant, held in their moment of tension draws it's breath, and their blades clash with sparks as the blades grind against the fury of the other. For every swipe, a parry, and every parry, another clash. The two souls, whose lives center around battle, thrust every hardship into the swing of their blade, and fend off every strike for the chance to fight tomorrow's battle. Steel grinds further into steel, sparks sprayed across the sky; their battle has only just begun...


This will quite possibly make the most specific commission request I've made yet. Aches me each time though, pulling out a concept on the spot. I hope I've painted the scene and characters well enough for you, but I would be glad to answer any further questions via PM.

I would like to reserve this spot.

EDIT:

Oke, so I have decided I want a detailed background with my Ranger and Elementalist. So that is 300k.

I Terran Ghost I
Eyes: Blue.
She is a stealthy ranger who doesn't talk much. But she has very good sniping skills.

I Terran Firebat I
Eyes: Blue.
She has mastered the power of the flame. She enjoys putting stuff on fire.

I would like it if you can make it on a battlefield like this. (In GW style obviously).
Oh and for my Elementalist, I would like to see the flames like you see them from the flamethrower guy in the cinematic.

If you want to put on some extra stuff, I am willing to pay more.

Hi I'd like to be added to the waiting list.

I want to order a 1240x1748 px at 300 dpi image with two people. Low-detail background is fine

First Character
Body shots: Front - Back - Side
Face: With blindfold - Without
Weapon: Staff

Second Character
Body Shots: Front - Back - Side
Face: ~~~
Weapon: Bow
Extras: Please leave out the flowers in her hair

Would appreciate it if you could add a white rabbit mini pet.

Pretty much everything else is up to your discretion. I added in shots of their weapons if you choose to add those, but is totally optional of whether you do or don't. I have no solid ideas for poses or backgrounds or anything.

Some background: The ranger is Tyrian born and very close to nature and her surroundings, not all that civilized. She's a bit impulsive at times and can have a bit of a fiery temper.

The mesmer is Canthan born, fairly diplomatic in most situations and generally the peacekeeper in groups.

Despite being nearly polar opposites, classy and refined vs. wild jungle girl, the two are great friends and work together often.
