After the succes of my previous 2 'WTB Commission threads' I decided to make another one as gold once again is piling up for me with nothing nice to spend it upon:cry:
My mesmer once again came upon the idea of spending all that money on commission similair to the previous one.

To give an indication what the last commissions where about (and also its winners) I will provide them as example:

Solo Mesmer Commission 2007
Solo Mesmer Commission 2007 (winners)
Group Mesmer Commission 2008
Group Mesmer Commission 2008 (winners)

This years commission thread is quite similair to one from last year however I will also allow solo pictures, where offcourse my mesmer i the main course.
I want to have a picture to remember all my good time in GW1 with all 4 characters . The picture must show me how much i enjoyed these past few years on GW it will state suggestions and preferences further on.

Here are some picture of the group:
Mesmer 1
Mesmer 2
Mesmer 3
Mesmer 4
Ritualist 1
Ritualist 2
Ritualist 3
Ritualist 4
Monk 1
Monk 2
Monk 3
Ranger 1
Close-up (ALL)

Prizes for drawings: (group)
1st place: 65 ectos (valued +/-400k)
2nd place: 75k
3th place: Unded Mini white rabbit
4th place: 10 obs shards

Prizes for non winners but still good entries: (combined for the 2 commissions)
1st: 5 ectos
2nd: 5 obs shards
3rd: 10 crates of fireworks
4th: 7 crates of fireworks
5th: 5 dyes of choice (except black and white)

Themes for the drawings and things I particulary like (however I also encourage pple to surprise me with youre art creations!)
1. The realm of lyssa (I do know this doesnt exist but i will leave this option totaly open to youre imagination)
2. My crew are old fashion types of pple and likes to hang around in a pub drinking scotch in ascalon or ale with the dwarves/norn. (I will leave everything to youre fullest imagination)
3. My crew and I enjoyed defeating Dhuum very much and a painting would make a great memory.
4. (these are only examples so feel free to combine the themes or even create youre own!)

styles not preferd:
- Chibi isnt preferd
other then the above use any style youre comfortable with

General rules:
- you may submit multiply entries (and update youre old ones ofcourse) however only 1 price each person.
- This contest will end on Januari 22th 2010 (thats 2 months from now).
- I reserve the right to change the prizes(i will only make the prizes better so dont fear~~), also if there arent sufficient entries i might consider not giving the first prize but instead the second or third prize, wich i hope is not needed offcourse)
- When the contest is over the winners will be announced and the prizes will be given away in Balthazar's Temple International district 1 (I will send you a message if you have won and ask for a time we can meet to hand out the prize).
- The judges will be 1st with general advice from friends/guildies
- I will post a thread on Guildwars Incgamers aswell to give the pple there an equal chance off winning here is the link: Click me

(history about the group is posted in the 1st post directly after the thread creation)

During the period between last year and now there has changed much in the group of my mesmer.
The notable things are:
- Ormand de Zephyrus has finaly started a relationship with Kasumi Kokoro
- Lys des Bondres recently changed a few features of her hair during a trip to Cantha
- Geist Fanatismus had a tragic sword accident with Minus (guildy) and lost his beard:cry:

here follows a history on all my characters:

Ranger: Ormand de Zephyrus
he prefers to be alone in the echovald forest (or somewhere in the charr homelands) with his Black moa. He isnt much off the social type besides the few friends he has (wich are my 4 characters). His love for nature made him solitude to the rest of the world. His recent relationship with Kasumi made him more social towards his friends and even travels together with pple on more then 1 occassion. His current location is the Asuran homelands together with Kasumi

Monk: Lys Des Bondres
the most lively one off the bunch, her passion for sweet liquor surpasses most dwarven and norns (wich she has proven a few times during he stay in the southern shiverpeaks). She does love do stay with others and talk alot. Although she might be a monk she isnt the most religious one, she does her prayers more for the sake of her education then for her own. Lys always hated my mesmer for the fact that he drains the storage vault for his shopping.

Mesmer: Geist Fanatismus
what to say about my main character, he loves expensive clothes (drains my storage on occasion for shopping), he always been in love with my monk but never dared to admit, his pride stands in his way for this (a women isnt supposed to drink more then him). He is best home in the southern shiverpeaks or the nornland drinking ale in the nearest tavern after a good day slaying monsters.

Ritualist: Kasumi Kokoro
She is the most mysterious one out the bunch, she is always studying the old books in the temple and became solitude only to have her spirits as company. She has traveld the world exploring many cultures and in most cases she first runs off the the nearest temple to study their magics. Kasumi recently finished her studies at palawa joko concerning advanced spirits and the everlasting undead summons. After discussing the next place to study with Ormand they both decided to go to beautiful and mysterious home of the Asurans. While Ormand stay in the woods kasumi starts her studies.

My character met eshoulder in pre searing trying to pass for the vanguard exam. During their encounter with palawa joko they met their 4th and final member off the crew kasumi (she was the greatest help in defeat of the god of secrets). After halloween this year all 4 got asked to defeat Dhuum and once again make the underworld a safer place. After nearly a year of doing their own stuff they once again partied up and defeated the old master of the Underworld!
After defeating the god Dhuum, Grenth and dwayna blessed 2 the most outstanding pple during the titanic battle with the sacred armor of the gods. Lys Des Bondres recieved the raiments of dwayna. Kasumi kokoro for her outstanding control of the dead and spirits Grenth granted her a armor worthy of such a legend Grenghts Ragalia!
While everyone did an outstanding job defeating the old god only 2 gods aknowlegded their herioc deeds.

Interesting. I never was able to write any good stories for my GW characters ~_~

I see some familiar names in your past entries. Good luck to those that enter this year.
Unfortunately I already promised a friend a very large paid commission so I won't have the time to draw something myself.

p.s. I think this should be called a contest, as opposed to a commission.

Morag D · Nov 22, 2009, 06:09 PM // 18:09

two months, and over Christmas as well

let's see if I can come up with something

GeminiJuSa · Nov 22, 2009, 06:48 PM // 18:48

I got so sad when I realized the third price wasn't an undead mini white rabbit, but an undedicated mini white rabbit. Q_Q

mathiastemplar · Nov 22, 2009, 07:32 PM // 19:32

Looks good, I'll def make one:P

Richo · Nov 26, 2009, 05:35 PM // 17:35

Guys i am sad to announce that due a account theft on my side i have to remove 1 part of this commission/contest. I am verry sorry for the trouble

.
as a compensation i will merge the solo and group together, only then i am able to continue this commission/contest.

Tzu · Nov 26, 2009, 09:56 PM // 21:56

It's been a while, maybe if I have time, for nostalgia's sake + I rather like your characters. ^^

powercozmic · Nov 30, 2009, 02:06 AM // 02:06

Richo · Dec 05, 2009, 12:19 PM // 12:19

I am already looking forward to the entries by everyone

Judging my last entries made by Tzu and Morag_D promises that this will be a very nice contest (and hard for me to judge as well)

Richo · Dec 19, 2009, 06:14 PM // 18:14

Hello guys, with the release of the 2 costumes i uploaded 2 pictures (1 monk and 1 ritualist). I also updated the history behind the costumes to make them fit in the story

Unlucky Slayer · Dec 19, 2009, 06:50 PM // 18:50

ofc the contest is still on

, If you can provide me with youre progress by the 22th i am willing to extend the deadline.

Ravenhawk · Jan 20, 2010, 02:19 PM // 14:19

I just checked that it has to be a group drawing lol. Might be more time consuming than I thought.

I'll see if I can send you a drawing preview by the 22nd. Thanks!

Ravenhawk · Jan 20, 2010, 04:13 PM // 16:13

Sorry for the double post ^^ but I got a commission request that would probably take up my week. Unfortunately, I would have to pass for this year's contest ^_^v

I wholeheartedly wish all the contestants the best of luck! So many great talents here that keeps me inspired and striving to be better.

Richo · Jan 22, 2010, 08:52 AM // 08:52

hi guys, its time!

commission ends now, no entries have been made, and not even a progress report beside powercozmic.

I am closing this thread down, i am not gonna announce a winner nor distribute any prices. I am very sad no one was interested enough to post a submission.

Sierraa · Jan 22, 2010, 05:59 PM // 17:59

Closed.

Next time I'll sticky it or something.
