Wee~ I've decided to start a new commission thread so here's the deal; I'll draw your GW characters or original non-GW-related characters for a price. Post the details of your commission in this thread or PM me and I'll add you to the commission list. If there's anything further needing to be discussed we can do it via PM and so on.

Prices
45k Color - Example, Example2
45k Color cel-shaded - Example
20k BW - No example atm but it will be a sketch with a little black&white shading.
10k Sketch - Example, Example2

Pets and extra characters add something to the price depending on difficulty/amount of characters etc.

Commission list
1.Alacrity Deathpixie''
2.Stalker''
3.Jeff''
4.Shanaeri''
5.First Aid Pack''

6.(Special) Boone
7. (Special) Lore
8. (Special) Tidus

^after the above I'm opening again

COMMISSIONS CLOSED/finishing this set first before taking new ones

Things to NOTE (Please read!)

I've decided not to draw any complicated/highly detailed armor. This is just for the sake of actually getting something finished. E.g. Warrior Obsidian would be too big a bite for me while glad's or vabbian are ok.
Please give me good reference pictures. Preferably from all sides of the character and leave out the festival hats if you want me to draw hair etc.
A short description of your character will help me better understand their nature. (:
Please don't spam me ingame about the artworks too much ok. I do like to play too. :P
I don't do complicated backgrounds, just simple scenery or colors and patterns.
Max resolution will usually be smaller than 1200px. I don't work higher than is nessecary for a picture.
I can't guarantee how long each commission will take me so if you are in a hurry I'm not the best person to commission.
Please provide me with your ingame name.

.. oo .. am I the first~?
those samples are soo sweet~!

.. am hoping you can do something in Cel-Shading for my lil Sin, Alacrity Deathpixie
.. she is more playful and chatty in nature, who says a Sin has to be grim~!
um, wat else~? fave colour is blue, is rarely sitting still, short enough to mimic a minipet if next to some of her larger admirers (lol, just stagger in circles and go /boo * every now&then) :}
.. she's rarely seen without a mask, cos everyone thinks she's still a teen ~ shh .. she's almost double that~!

well heres some hopefully functional shots of her in an uncharacteristically stilted pose (I learnt how to cut&paste pics last week) ~

Stalker Haras · Aug 22, 2007, 01:32 PM // 13:32

Colored please.

Alright, how I would like this one drawn, is in a more "today" setting. Of three girls, who live in an apartment (this can change, just they all live in the same house per say). The day outside, hot. The windows in the background are open, and the girls are are being lazy, trying to keep as cool as possible. On the walls and on the floor, their weapons are strewn about, for they are to lazy to tidy up in the heat. The room these three girls are in, isn't clean because of the weapons and clothing laying around.

Yeah, i guess you can kinda say its a lustfull theme? :P

Mandy Haras

She's a girl who has attitude, doesn't like to have people tell her what to do. She enjoys wearing clothing that shows off her style, yet keeps it sexy still.

Angel Aeriel,

Aeriel, is the older of the three, upper twenties. She doesn't care what others think of her, she just knows everyone likes her. (yeah shes prissy :P). She enjoys looking lavish, and loves to play around with her staves.

Jasmine Haras

Shes the youngest of the three. She doesn't think about what she does before she does it. Likes to get right into things without seeing the potential dangers in them.

AW Lore · Aug 25, 2007, 01:35 AM // 01:35

beautiful drawing you got Smilin, keep up that awesome work Nian!

Nian · Sep 04, 2007, 02:18 PM // 14:18

A little update here. I have some new rules or something like that to add to my commissions. Mainly because I have school again now and a new hobby to go with it and I also want to play so my times is getting a bit more limited.

I've decided not to take anymore commissions with complicated backgrounds so the backgrounds will always be something simple like scenery or just colors and patterns depending on what I feel like doing. I will also have to take a fewer commissions at a time now. >.< As for resolutions, my working resolution is usually 1200px one side meaning the final product will be smaller. So I'm not willing to work with extra high resolution pictures because that actually takes a looot longer to finish by far!

Also the pricing guideline of multicharacter pictures generally goes like this for colored pictures:
1 character=45k
2 characters=65k
3 characters=75k
pets=5k per pet

These prices aren't set on stone. Prices will vary depending on difficulty and how many characters are in the picture and are thus negotiable. Some pets are more easy for me to draw etc. So I will not add these prices on the main thread. Just a little note on how I've decided to do it from now on.

I'm sorry about having to stricten what I will do again but I want to get more commissions done. :'T

P.S. I work slow and I never expect anyone to pay me right away. I don't "hunt" people down for payment so don't stress over it. I understand that during the time it takes me to work anyone might've wanted to buy something else(not to mention gwen is out with all the cool new stuff). I do expect payment but please don't stress over it. Unfortunatelly I don't accept payment beforehand either until I've got a finished piece to give. :P

Stalker Haras · Sep 04, 2007, 02:59 PM // 14:59

lol....My drawing was that much of a pain to do? :P

Rofl! No it was quite fun actually. I'm hoping that it will be to your liking and that it at least remotely corresponds to what you were looking for...I think I kinda failed at the messy room aspect tho gah~ I'm not a messy room type of person. X)
The above is just for future commissions because I won't be having as much time as I have now and I already know I won't so I need to limit it if I still want to do commish among other things.

Stalker Haras · Sep 04, 2007, 11:23 PM // 23:23

It turned out awesome.

For those that want to see: http://img254.imageshack.us/my.php?i...rsgirlsmv6.jpg

I'll get you the gold when we catch each other online again.

The wolf kinda reminds me of a dog we used to own a few years ago.

AW Lore · Sep 04, 2007, 11:53 PM // 23:53
