Hey all! So, I love art, and can draw very well. I hate farming to make money. So I'm commissioning artwork for all your character needs to raise money for my Hall of Monuments!

Commissions will start at 50k based on sketches. From there, adding color is another 50k. Weapons and such are free and just come with the drawing. Pets and such (depending) will be free. Adding a stylized background is free, but specific backgrounds will vary in price depending on the difficulty.

Full body shots and poses will cost more than a head shot or torso shot.

Best way to contact me is in game or PM on here. Game name: Valdis The Unmaker.

Please let me know! I'd love to do art for you!!!!

Here are some examples of past art and completed commissions:

Heya Valdis! I am actually really attracted to your work, and would be interested in getting art done by you. I really enjoy the pieces you did with the skull and the figure you did in brown and yellow, because they seem a bit dark and abstract.

Here are 3 photos of my character. My favorite is the one of her playing the "flute" but you can go in any direction you would like, and feel free to PM Me in game w/ any additional questions. =) IGN > Laurie Buns

That doesnt look anything like your other works. How much was that piece so we know what to expect?

Ummm, I would say my price increases with backgrounds and colour. I was paid quite generously for that one.

I'd say maybe for full color, highlights, shadowing, and background - the whole shabang. Maybe more around 65kish? But I'm super flexible with price, because I love to draw XD

EDIT: I am saving for obby, so that was probably taken into account for this last commission. I was paid highly, but that was out of generosity. Don't shy away if it looks too expensive, just gimme a holler and we'll work something out :]

I like what you've done with the armor. I'd buy that armor right away if it were available

I prefer the non line-art version as well actually so thank you for doing both versions. I hope you had fun with it. I look forward to commissioning another piece sometime soon

Hey all! So, I do love doing art, and I love getting commissions, but no more peoples are on the list

I'm getting much closer to my obby armor, but I can only get closer with the help of you fabulous peoples!! ^^

A few highly paid commissions (150k+) would get me the armor I've been trying to get unsuccessfully for 5 years. I'll do multiple people, I can do them not using photoshop, which looks more like my original examples (ink painting, graphite drawings, etc. - overall more photorealistic).

You name it I'll draw it!

PS - Feel free to donate! It's the last thing I'm really striving for in game!! D:

And if ya need some motivation: I did this drawing just for you all ^^

It would be a huge help if yall wanted to bid on this pic!! Bids starting at 50k? Since Nock Toran was nice enough to let half the final bid price go to me, 50% of this sale will go to Nock Toran! Let's get our obby together buddy!! =D

Just lemme know what ya need ^^

Hi, I am interested in commission of my ranger and black moa pet and if possible holding a storm bow.

Dont Mess Withme:

Storm Bow:

As for pose, I would like some sort of interaction between my ranger and my pet, something funny, endearing... maybe a younger Mess with a baby moa?

Let me know what you want, I am sure we can agree on a payment.

I print and frame most commissions so I would love the highest resolution you can possibly do.

Thanks in advance.

Please PM me if you have any questions.

Heya bud! Looks like you are coming along really well. I decided to take up your offer on doing my warrior. ^_^ I really enjoyed my last picture as you know and I really like what you did with EtherealByte's Assassin. I personally enjoyed the lineart version tho.
Well I'll catch ya in game bud! Have fun and can't wait to see you in your obby!

I'd like a commission or two, in the style of either the first, second, or fifth sample in the op... But my comp is out of commission (on phone atm), so reference pictures will have to wait... And I must choose which character(s) to commission for. Do you take a limit on numbers? I'll send a query pm when I get my computer up and running (which if things go to plan, tomorrow night).

(Consider this a reservation post!)

Heyo all.

Commission slots are open :3

I've got 3 atm, but only working on one since I don't have other screenshots to go on:

1) Heres To Life
2) Messy
3) Konig

(Note: These are in no particular order. I work based on the information and screenshots I'm given. I will swap to work on the earliest request though based on information.

Example: Konig is technically first in the queue, but I have no screenshots. Next is Messy, but I have no screenshots. Heres To Life provided me with screenshots, so I'm working on his until the earlier requests send me information. This way I always have something to do and usually working on finishing a commission. So reserving a spot matters of course! I'll just be working on other things until I get info and then you become the top priority to finish)

Here you go I don't have anything of my sin yet, and I'd love a badass lineart style like you did with EsmeQ's ele :P

Norn armor because she's cool like that.

I'll do a pre-pay of 50k with a stack of granite and 100 iron ingots for destroyer weapons (since I know you need them :P) as a pre-tip, too, whenever you see me in game

Hey, interested in something similar to that lolana's warrior with some background of sorts when there's a spot. Burning isle inspired or something cos the fire looks awesome.

Pay you with some keys if that's alright.

But of course, finish whichever you're working on before you get to me. 'Sides, I don't mind waiting a bit, it just means you'll improve (so long as you don't close down ). That and mine may be complicated.

Scratch posting tonight - just remembered that there's something school related I have to do due in now 11 hours. o_o *rushes off*

Hiya. I'm loving what you've done so far and I'd like you to do me a picture of my Ranger. Is it best for me to send you some screenies of how I'd like her to look or would it be better if you told me what kind of shots you need?

PM me when you get the chance.

Quick note to anyone who tried to contact me ingame within the last 8ish hours. I apologize if I didn't respond or come back to to the keyboard as it said I was AFK.

I was on guru and logged into GW very late at night. I got a phone call, and wound up leaving my computer to talk on the phone. By the time I was off the phone I was practically asleep.

When I woke up I walked downstairs to find GW still running and a decent number of PM's

Apologies all, I was quite asleep.

Next time I'll make like a ninja and go down to turn my computer off before I pass out

Hiya,

Thanks for getting back so quickly. Here are a few screenshots of my ranger with her white obby armour and tormented longbow. If possible I'd like her posed like she's just shot an arrow (images 1,2 & 7). If you could give the arrow a firey or splintered appearance (something dramatic, definitely) and give the background an appearance of the jade sea - my favorite area in the game - that'd be awesome.

I'm going to probably use this image as my desktop image (WS @ 1366 x768) but probably also print it out so something in proportion but high res would be excellent.
Thanks very much in advance.

Hey all, just so you know, I'll more than likely post up finished initial sketches for all incoming commissions and then paint them in order. So people can send me PMs and tell me if they like them :]

For curious commissioners, here is the list so far.

1 - Konig (Three commissions total, but done spaced out from one another)
2 - Messy
3 - Thistle
4 - Nuclear
5 - Fowlero
6 - Heres to Life

NOTE: Commissions are still open, you can request a spot, and you'll be put in the queue. Keep in mind though, once all the screenies get in I'm going to have 9 pieces to finish. So If you're asking for a commission it'll be a while before I get to it. Feel free to let me know if you're interested. :]

Yasee, probably half of these commissions would be done already since I generally try and do any given commission in 2-3 sittings. Unfortunately, the past two weeks have been so insanely busy all I've managed to finish is a starting sketch. Luckily I'm about to become much more unbusy. Just gimme some grace and I'll have all your requests done soon ^-^

Great Scott I dun know how I got so busy all the sudden O.o
Thank you all SOOOOOO so much for all the business!!
I have you guys to thank for making me practice my drawing/painting!

And for teh lolz, here's an update on Heres to Life's dervish.

Got to partially color his scythe.
And no I'm not doing spoiler tags this time :3

Now just imagine... If I did sketch and non-color commissions I could finish this guy in about 15 minutes. Isn't that a scary thought? ;D

Darn you color and your evil ways of evil, despite being so much fun to work with.... I think the worst part is his obby armor is dyed pink.... So yes, you will all get to see pink dyed armor when this commission is done XD

Awesome I forgot to mention on mine that I'm trying to get some celestial daggers to match my sin's armor colors, although if you've already started drawing the ones she has now or some other variation, that's fine, too

AND THE DERVISH IS DONE!!! =D

PS - A painting like this would be anywhere from 150k-250k (price based on the payment I've received from the past 8 commissions). I'm very flexible with pricing, but these do take time to finish... And this is practically my only source of income in game. :]
