Hey, could I go for a full painted subject + background? (70k)

Character name: William Knight
Age: 22
Homeland: Ascalon
Job: Rogue Luxon Ranger (yes, I know I'm wearing elite kurz, all is explained in the bio!)
Pics: (Click on the thumbnail to enlarge the image).





Please include the Dryad Bow in the pic, I love that goddam thing. The background, pose etc I leave up to you. Take inspiration from the Bio.



Bio: Bit of a long bio, but I've never really thought too much about a backstory before and I got carried away.

William was out hunting with his brother when the Charr seared the kingdom of ascalon, he saw from a hilltop the destruction which rained down upon the city of Ascalon and when he returned he found nothing but burnt cinders and broken lives. Collecting the few surviving Ascalonians he tore through Tyria under the mantle of the Legion of the Blue Blade, bent on vengeance and satisfaction. As they travelled through the unwelcoming landscapes of the maguuma jungle and crystal desert, the Blue Blades grew strong and numerous - becoming a formidable force with William at the head, his hatred driving them on. When they finally reached Hell's Precipace and defeated the Lich, the Blue Blades found that their purpose in life had also been defeated and so travelled far and wide seeking a new home to make a life.

Having build up quite a bounty from their quest in Tyria the Blue Blades purchased a guild hall in the imperial city of Kaineng and began to rebuild their lives. One member, called Hobo, did not find peace in Kaineng and instead discovered that the hole left after the destruction of the Lich was too great to bear. He tried filling it with gold, women, lechery and drunkenness - but the emptiness he felt drove him to the edge of madness. In the middle of the night he stole into William's chamber and beat him mercilessly with the butt of his sword. William only came too once or twice that night, only seeing the burning guild hall, doors locked and bolted and hearing faint screams, the laughing face of Hobo - manic with desperation, fear and loathing.

William's badly beaten body was found by the healer Mhenlo, an acquaintance from his travels through Tyria, and over a few months nursed back to health. Gradually, few remaining Blue Blades came to Mhenlo for treatment and shelter. When he was at full strength William found that he was once again homeless and without direction. Mhenlo asked him to assist with a matter of great urgency which threatened the whole of Cantha - the afflicted plague caused by the return of Shiro Tagachi. William and the Blue Blades fought bravely and eventually, with the help of the Luxon armada, they overcame the threat posed by their ancient foe. As a reward Elder Rhea offered William and the Blue Blades positions in the Luxon army guarding the borders between Kurzick and Luxon lands, in order to maintain the tentative peace which followed this victory. William was presented with the armour of the Kurzick elite guard as a sign of good faith.

One day, on routine patrol through a small settlement south of saltspray beach William encountered a contingent of Kurzick elite guards way beyond the borders of their lands. They surrounded their general, whom they held above their heads on a sedan chair, the men at the front of the caravan whipped and lashed out at the people of the village who got in their way. The rest of the Blue Blades lept behind cover, determined to maintain the drop on the Kurzick warband - William, however, did not move. To his horror William recognised the face of the cruel Kurzick general, it was Hobo. Forgetting the treaty, forgetting the honour of his position and forgetting his loyalty to the Luxon armada, William drew his blades and charged at the platoon of highly skilled Kurzick guards, singlehandedly cutting his way to the center of their group. When all the guards lay dead he turned to the fleeing character of Hobo and let loose and arrow from his bow - the head lodged deep in the back of Hobo's skull.

The villagers, terrified of the fury and violence they just witnessed drove the Blue Blades out the village and into the wilderness. Now the Blue Blades patrol the Luxon borders, cast out by Elde Rhea and despised by Kurzick soldiers they use guerilla warfare tactics to take large Kurzick patrols by suprise.

Interested in your work. I would like the full thing please. Have my warrior (in the pictures below) with the current gear he is wearing. Have a dark (not too dark, visible of everything in the picture) demented background with a large, evil looking dragon something similar to this: http://www.geocities.com/the_lb_dragon/Black_Dragon.jpg dead lying in the near my warrior, and my warrior walking away like he just had an epic battle with it. A moon like: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/gw...-halloween.jpg in the sky with decaying trees throughout the picture. Also wouldn't mind several dead corpses or skulls scattered throughout the image. And maybe (if you can) a few fireflies disbursed throughout the picture just to brighten it up and to add to the effect. For the final touch could you please put Big City Brawler is a very creative font in the bottom-right corner?

Pm: Big City Brawler


A story of my warrior (completely fake ): It was a dark, depressing day in the harsh lands of Tyria. After the Charr laid waste to Ascalon and the surrounding territories, almost all hope was lost. Only the best survived. Big City Brawler rose from the ashes of former Ascalon slaying everything that was unfriendly. Nothing could get in his way. With a mighty axe at hand he charged through the destroyed lands conquering the lands and creating friendly colonies throughout Tyria. But this wasn't enough - it's never enough. When the afflicted bombarded the gates of Kaineng Center it was like a flashback to when the Charr attacked Ascalon. Big City Brawler knew he had to abandon his homeland to protect the others in other countries. From that point on he knew where he was needed most, purging the lands of Elona, Cantha and Tyria from all threats.
