Ok I'm wanting a fairly good artist who is good at character sketches to draw me a full-body portrait of one of my GW characters with a few minor specifications.

Requirements:
Must be able to speak English.
Must have MSN Messenger. Add my name~
Must be good at drawing human anatomy, female especially.
Must be good at physical features.
Medium should be pencil, no chalk or paints.

I don't want an easy sketch, I want a nice, neat portrait for my character. I'll pay you 1k on Guild Wars for the drawing AFTER I recieve the picture and ONLY if I find it acceptable.

If you think you're up for the task add me on MSN and I'll give you the full details on what I want drawn.

well.....not that I;m that good of an artist but if I was, I would put a lot of effort into it, and 1k seems like very little if it was an awesome drawing

Ya know, as soon as I can get back on GW (I don't have any RAM in my comp atm), I'll do it. Actually, you don't need to have the person on. Just email them front, side, and back shots and explain what you want done. I love doing this kind of thing, so just PM me and we can start work on it. You don't even need to pay me. Just to let you know, my forte is drawing people and I don't like skimping on quality, so it may take some time.

Sorry for the small price thing. I didn't know what kind of price to put on it and 1k is what I have left after doing that shopping spree for swords. Anyway, I suppose it's closed since Riplox has volunteered. (Thanks Rip, I'll get to you ASAP)

If you want something like this:

I can probably do it. Color would take more time and money lol I'm still working on colors for the assassin.

I have seen some really nice portraits done and the going rate for most are about 100k or there abouts. It really depends on what you are looking for.

Apparently trained artists are on the same payscale as Anet Henchmen.

Actually in all honesty I wasn't expecting anything on grand scale. Not some thousand dollar piece of artwork, I just wanted a nice pencil drawing that looked a little better than this:

Jesus step it up just a little....i guess if ppl will do it....

I'm really into an artsy mood right now. I haven't felt like this in a long time so get up with me soon before this it's over. I haven't felt inspired like this since before my deal illustrating for a small RPG company about 6 months ago.

Same here. We could both do them and he could have both. Why not? Doesn't have to be just 1 does there?

Many artist do work because they enjoy it not for the money and get paid anyways. I susually do it fro friends and they sometimeswill give me a some something. I'm not as nearly good as I wish to be. But I wouldn't charge, to me it's a new challange.

The lead artist came to me asking if I'd like the job after he found my Elfwood page. Thing is I drew most of the stuff he saw like 4 or 5 years ago so it's safe to say I've improved since then.

LoL. 4-5 years. I don't see how you couldn't have improved. I did a drawing for a friend, he liked it, I thought it could have been better, but that's just me. *story time, skip down if you don't want to read* I drew a picture last wednesday. And it was on lined paper, and it unexpectedly turned out really good. Anyway, where I'm going with this is, there's no way to not improve, lol. Especially after 4 years. I'd like to see your work too. I got an elfwood account, but kind of abandoned it, not sure if I was going to really do something for it. And even if someone does find my work appropriate for their needs, I don't think I'd have the time for it anyway. *end story*

I'd like to give it a stab as well, if you don't mind. When I read your requirements, yes I do have to say 1 plat is too low. But after the standard he posted, I'd be more than happy to do a basic sketch. And besides, pencil/pen is my forte, hehh. No I don't have MSN though, I only use AIM and ICQ, but everything else is a-okay. Multiple screenshots would be nice.

Hmm. Do our artists have examples of their work? Just out of curiousity, you know.

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day where so many people offered it for free o.o. I must say I am honored. I'll go ahead and try to contact the three people who've already volunteered. Umm if anybody else wants to try I guess you can PM me as well. I go by many names on GW: Abby Ravenbourne, Aequitas Admonitio, Raven Arivian.

If this keeps up we could make this into a friendly contest. I'm sure I could construct a small site on geocities to house it. Maybe we could put other character portraits on there as well? Just an idea.

Thanks again for all your guys' (or gals') volunteering and I can't wait to see what turns out.

Aand again, sorry about the whole 1k thing. Like I said, I was desperate and prett much broke. Although now I can raise it to 2k :P


PS: I tried to contact Riplox already by e-mail but maybe it didn't go through? Just wondering cause I never got a reply. I'll try to contact everybody on GW within the next few days and if not on there then I'll send emails or something.
PPS: Sorry about the late reply. I almost completely forgot I wanted to do this. Too much planning for college going on. Thanks.

If any of you are wanting to see some of my work, my most recent is the Token of Time cover I just inked today. You can find it in the Nolani Academy of Arts section appropriately named Token of Time

I would have to agree that your "demands" (and i would call them demands -they sounded so strict) was what stopped me from offering.

Obviously there are a lot of generous people on this board -because many people offered to do it for free.

Just letting you know what I felt -and that maybe you scared off some other artists as well because of "how" you asked.

Actually the only reason I stuck that server rule on there was I didn't want anyone to PM me and start talking to me in a language I didn't know. I'm only fluent in English, Bad English, and Gamer-Speak o.o. If you'd still like to try I'd be more than happy to get you started though.

And yeeeah, I knooooow x_x. People love to remind me of my stupidity. Like I said, I'm sooooorry I sounded so strict and mean...sheesh -.-;
