Hello again dear GWG,

Started playing again a little bit and decided to take a few simple commish. They will be similiar to this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...nyportrait.jpg

Details
-no masks
-no weapons
-no overly detailed/difficult to draw armor (cloth armor is generally easier than say, warrior obsi etc.)
-one slot per person, one character per slot
-no pets, sorry

-custom outfits & original characters are welcome too
-Price 60k

Slots
1. Hailfall - paid
2. kajusbonus - paid
3. Drelias Melaku - paid
4. Gattsu05 - paid
5. InfestedHydralisk - paid
6. Verene - paid
7. Morag D - paid
8. Invertation - paid
9. Guy Incognito - paid
10. Gattsu - wip

SPECIAL SLOT: Morag D - wip

I'm trying to make this very simple so I won't fail with trying to do custom massive paintings again... All of my other pending trades and one commish before this are still on my to do list, so no worries but this is what I can handle atm. Hopefully I can get back to drawing more.

Character name: Drelias Melaku
Profession: Mesmer
Refs: Overview and Hair under top hat/face
Short description: Loves to travel, haughty, elegant, feels personally indebted to the Asura, favors Illusion magic.

Not sure which armor would be considered complicated or difficult to draw, but feel free to use artistic freedom.

@Hailfall: Thank you! Oooh okay I think I may be a bit biased to draw your OC now, love her design.

@kajusbonus, Thanks! I'm not quite sure what you mean with detailed version? For these sketches a big enough screenshot from the front will do just fine with me. I will use some creativity to draw from a screenie.

@Drelias Melaku, Thank you. I assume you want the hat to be in the sketch too? And if I remember right did you want me to sort of blend together the different armor as an outfit? If so, then I may take some artistic freedom with the design but I need to make sure.

@Nian: Yes, please.

She wears Elite Kurzick dress, the Top Hat, Monument gloves, Deldrimor hose and Primeval boots.
Artistic freedom is yours, though - I'm sure I'll love the result either way.

Hailfall's sweet OC finished!

Moving on to Drelia's mesmer while I wait for that screenshot from kajus.

@Tommy, <3 No worries, I have failed so much more it's not even funny. I need to take up stuff again and start working. ::::::U
I already love your painting so much; hands or no hands lol!

@Tommy, Haha don't stress over it. Wouldn't want you forcing to draw something that's just not turning up atm.

I guess it goes with the occupation that we keep saying "soon" all the time haha! : ))

@Hailfall, Glad you approve of it. =D !

Whew, managed to finish Drelias Melaku's mesmer aswell. I changed the armor quite a bit, hope it wasn't too much... I get carried away so easily eek :'))

Loved doing the outfit though. <3

Will be a bit busy this weekend but since this lineart only style seems to work for me I'll probably open up again come Monday. Thanks for the interest guys! <3

I don't mind the changes at all! Everything is still recognizable as the armor she wears in-game except the gloves, but honestly, I WISH my in-game gloves were that pretty. She looks STUNNING, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it, too.

I can't stop staring at that lovely face, and the hair is beautifully done.
The way you color is just so perfect for a mesmer - definitely has an aura of illusion about it.

Oh oh pick me! I'd like my neko twins commissioned. You're only doing 1 char per slot so I'd like the one with the pan flute. A lot of artist freedom with these ones but I can provide more references if needed.

@Gattsu, Allright thanks! You're no 4. I can draw your twins if you're alright with their bodies being mirrored. It'd be sort of symmetric but they would have different features. Then again I'll think about how to do it, I might come up with something fun...

If you want one it'll be 60k but for two make that +20k

Ya that sounds great. I kinda figured the base image would be flipped or mirrored if someone decided to do both. They are twins after all. Of my reference pictures I don't have much in the way of a costume. I'll what I can do to fix that unless you've got any suggestions.

Ack, sorry guys. I have Gattsu & kajus' wips both underway but I'm moving this week so I'm not sure if I have enough time to finish them. I'm on semi-hiatus until next week I guess. Trying to finish them before if I can find any time but there's no guarantee. At least both linearts are nearly finished.

@Ravenhawk: Minaaa~ GW nuttyness struck again. One of the few games I always keep coming back to lol. Good to see you here too~

@Morag, Verene & IH: Thanks<3 I will try to keep it up this time. Well, after I move house we'll see!

No worries, as excited as I am to see the finished product, wouldn't want ya to have to rush it. Take your time and good luck with the move. Moving is easy. It's unpacking that I find the hardest.

Good to see you around these parts again, Nian. I really like the look of Shala and Drel's mesmer. Not sure how to describe it, but they have this kind of circus/ringmaster look with a "can-can" twist.

Just a heads up: Landing to new home succesful! <3
Status: Still recovering from injuries of moving and furious cleaning. :'D

You'll hear from me soon...

@Charlie: Thanks! Yeah you got it, the circus/pin-up feel is what I was going for.

You'll hear from me soon... Yay for moving successfully, booo for moving injuries (hmm. that sounds like if the injuries are moving around your body

). We'll hear from you soon!

Glad to hear you made it to your house (mostly) in-tact!

Hopefully those injuries aren't too serious. We got lucky with ours. There were probably a couple injuries, definitely some horribly dry skin (unpacked at night in the winter) and a cold, but they left the house fairly clean for us.

@Charlie: I was actually going for a circus-y feel for my mesmer with that armor set. Nian, of course, did a better job with it than I could in-game, though.

Wow, I love the softness of your art, it has a nice airbrush quality to it! I really need to get some in game money to get me some commissions

And I see I'm not the only one injured. I hope you are well and your move was successful

WOOO NEW PLACE!! the best thing about moving is when everything's in the new place and you can start making it your own :3 [aka when all the annoying pack-up and backbreaking actual move is done]

good luck!
