Hello there, residents of Nolani Academy. I am here to humbly offer my art services to those interested.

I've been playing Guild Wars since the very beginning - and before that, even - specifically the beta of December 2004. I've been doing commissions since 2006. I am new to the Guru forums - but I have been a member of GWO for some time.

For those interested in my old GWO commission thread, you can find it here.

For some examples of my work, you can visit my deviantART gallery or my photobucket gallery. The rest of my art can be found in my personal deviantART gallery.

What I Offer

At the moment, I'll mostly be doing coloured but sketchier, quick stuff, so you can get your picture asap (and I get more of them done.)

Portrait: 10k
Half body: 20k
Full body: 30k

Without colour it's half price. I am also open to other styles (including traditional art, which I can mail the original of, etc.) though prices are based per project.

Examples coming soon.

I do not restrict commission to GW characters only. You can, of course, get your GW2 characters done as well. I will also gladly draw any other OCs you have, although I do have to draw the line at copyrighted characters for legal purposes. All I need is a detailed description or reference images (screenshots).

Commission Process

Please post in this thread, indicating you'd like a commission.

Please fill out the following form and include it in your post:

Quote:
IGN:

Portraits Details (Optional)
Eye Colour:
Expression:

Full Body Details (optional, but preferred)
Expression
Pose
Weapons or accessories

Anything else I need to know:

INCLUDE A CLEAR SCREENSHOT OF YOUR CHARACTER, PREFERABLY UNRESIZED IN ANY WAY.
If you'd like something other than what I've listed, you must let me know ahead of time so we can discuss pricing.

Commissions are completed on a first come, first served basis. Sometimes, I will do them out of order if I feel like it, but that is general rule you can expect.

I usually accept payment after the commission is completed. I don't like to hang around with people's gold in case I am unable to complete a commission. If you'd like to submit your payment ahead of time, you will be bumped to the top of the list.

My IGN is Eloanneo Kirimaya. I am in EST timezone, and I can be found online various times of the day. Feel free to add me and message me if you need to find me.

Closing Words

That's it! Thank you for visiting my thread. I look forward to your business

UPDATE: Sorry for the extremely slow progress. I've just been dealing with a load of crap lately IRL and drawing has been incredibly difficult. If you don't mind waiting, possibly a very long time for your drawings, then I'm glad - if you'd like to cancel I understand too. But in the meantime, GW1 is not going anywhere, I will definitely do my best to finish all orders so until then I'd like to thank you graciously for your patience.

My Kimi can be found by clicking on her name.

EDIT2: Here is another pretty accurate version of Kimi.

Nowadays, probably 40k. I used to do them for less, but I am a stickler for details and they just take way too long D:

Let me know if that price is OK with you. Backgrounds and such are extra, but I do offer discounts if it takes me too long to finish. (Cause I hate making people wait. )

EDIT: To clarify, the image you linked to was originally commissioned as "sketchy," the lineart is kinda crappy looking. Your image would be more refined. I could do a more sketchy one for cheaper though, which would be something like 25k. It's all about how much it takes me to polish something up.

Haha, no prob.

The above was commissioned as a "sketchy" fullbody commission. They would be 25k today.

If you'd like it to look more refined and polished (smooth lines, pretty vs. messy colouring, more attention to detail etc.) it would be 40k.

Backgrounds are extra.

I like your sketchy style, very cute! I'd like to commission a portrait of my Pre Mesmer, Sophia ^^

IGN: Sophia Pallas

Eye Colour: Brown
Expression: Serious and slightly suspicious would be best for her
Anything else I need to know: Nothing really that I can think of! Just a sketchy portrait with maybe some light purple Mesmery butterflies in the background (yes I will pay extra for that if you choose to do that).

To further clarify on backgrounds, a detailed background, like scenery, is extra, though quick backgrounds like gradients and such are free. They take like five minutes anyway, lol. XD

Anyway, Verene, your picture is finished.

Linky!

Nice! I think I already have a post in mind: reaching for the katana on his back. What do you think?

Roy Mustang would love elementalists...females, that is. and their TINY MINISKIRTS.

Phew, I haven't seen your works since I stopped frequenting GWO a while back. I suspect you'll be just as popular here.

Alright If you have any more picture of her, feel free to link me to them, since they'll help me be more accurate.

I've been really slow recently. Sorry guys D: I've been very busy with some artist's block to boot.

Here's some progress for the next person on the list:
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...ieprogress.jpg

I just keep getting stuck because no matter how I shade his armor, it doesn't seem to look good. I'm doing a portrait of the same character, so I may just do the portrait first, I guess I'll see.

I also have a little bit of Aeronwen's sketch done, though too rough to post.

I'm going to try and take turns sketching different pictures on the list and hopefully that'll help get me unstuck. I closed commissions for now to make sure I have enough time to finish these and not overwork myself. And of course, reduce wait times for you. In the meantime, thanks for being patient ^_^

Hey guys A small update. The next comish is done.

I've got the next two started, in sketch stage. Sorry it's been taking so long; for one week, I was quite busy as my partner came back to town for one week, and before that, I had a summer school exam. TT_TT I've been pretty tired and all, and feeling burnt out art wise. Which disappoints me because I was hoping to draw as much as possible! Well, regardless of art block, everything will get finished!

I will reopen commissions are some point, however, I think I will do it for uncoloured sketches only, if people are interested in those. Colour just takes quite a while, and hopefully, this way I can draw more pictures. They will be cheaper as well so you can think about doing multiple characters. Maybe I could even ink them so people could get someone else to do the colour, or try it themselves. Well, I'll think about that when this batch is finished, anyway. I'll post the new prices and see what people think of them.

I'm glad you like it! Even though the colouring gave me trouble in the beginning, I think it turned out to be my favourite one so far! XD Haha.

The rest of the commissions are coming. I'm sorry I'm so slow. I'm still having art block and I just can't seem to shake it. :< Thanks for your patience, guys.

Click for large version.

Clicky!

I received a very handsome tip! Thanks again! I hope this portrait is satisfactory :'D

For Krystal:
large ver of your picture.

I love these at original size. You get to see all my little mistakes 8D

Hydralisk, Reigi, I'm simultaneously working on both your sketches. I've just been having a hard time being satisfied with how they look. But being able to finish this one gave me a little boost to get out of artblock.
