That is amazing!! Very very nice work!!!

AGAIN, that is NOT worth 10K, imho. You really should spike your prices up.

wow, I can't wait!!!

I'm really glad you are ok drawing my moa. We are one entity. He seriously gets on my nerves sometimes, specially with his dreadful addiction of eating my bows.

but, we love each other, and would not hesitate to put our lives on the line to protect each other.

Give him a platinumbow :P
That will teach him

I would like a place in the second round waiting list if one does exist.
Your choice of pose and armor.

I've started work on Verdura Mindcatcher's mesmer.

The image for Shiva Hataw has been updated, but here is a link for it too.

I've also updated the list. Welcome, Con Artist!

Oh man, I'm always late for these. Is it possible to reserve a spot in the list in advance?

StarrTheInsane · May 31, 2007, 10:53 AM // 10:53

You can keep a spot on the list. I only post the first five in line, because if something comes up IRL I don't want somebody waiting forever for a pic. Y'know, if you've got your eye on something else and think, "Gee, if I wasn't hangin' onto this for the commission, I could just afford this other thing." Only to find that...like...my house was demolished by a tornado or something...

Hehe, oh, and my root canal isn't until July 2nd, so as we get close to that I may cut the list short until I know how much pain I'm gonna be in. Otherwise I'll be working on the art pretty much nonstop.

Traveller · May 31, 2007, 12:34 PM // 12:34

Cheers. I like your art of the commisioners the best, so I'll find some pics and just wait for my turn, whenever that may be.

Verdura Mindcatcher

Morag D · May 31, 2007, 07:45 PM // 19:45

very nice

I think it would be better if her hair didn't have this very hard edge, though, looks a little unnatural

Rainbird · May 31, 2007, 08:43 PM // 20:43

Her neck seems too long, but otherwise, nice work

Verdura Mindcatcher · Jun 01, 2007, 02:30 AM // 02:30

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I love it!

*Jumps up and down in joy!*

She's so beautiful!

Thank you soooo much!

Mistical miss · Jun 01, 2007, 05:50 AM // 05:50

Sweet

nice details and shading

But indeed, the neck is a bit on the long side and the pose is a bit stiff (or it may be the perspective being somewhat dull)

The colours and shades are pretty cool though

Love your signature :P

Messy · Jun 02, 2007, 01:16 AM // 01:16

I think it's great!! really very nice drawing!!

I can't wait for mine, in progress

StarrTheInsane · Jun 02, 2007, 06:52 AM // 06:52

Yes, yours is getting close to finished. All that remains is the armor and the bow. I am taking a step away from the collage-style work that I had been doing for more of a scenic picture. Like a comedic snapsnot from the life of a ranger and her bow-eating moa. Still looking very cool. If it doesn't make you chuckle to yourself, then I've messed up.

Messy · Jun 02, 2007, 02:44 PM // 14:44

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm drooling now!!!

I have a good sense of humor, and I'm all for a funny shot

StarrTheInsane · Jun 02, 2007, 03:38 PM // 15:38

"The moa seemed very interested in marksmanship..."

This picture is the first draft.

Messy · Jun 02, 2007, 03:50 PM // 15:50

LMAO!!!!!!

Brilliant, thanks soooooooo much, NOW I have to get Buffalo his own BOWS??
So now some bows for him to eat and some for him to shoot, HEHE

WTB BOWS!!! any bow, any req, any type, cheap!!!

I love it, thanks sooo much.!! Sweet job on Buffalo, he looks amazing. I look my usual hot sexy tough cookie

I will look for you IG for payment.

woot!!!

WTB BOWS!!! any bow, any req, any type, cheap!!!

Mistical miss · Jun 02, 2007, 04:43 PM // 16:43

Awesome idea! I think the ranger is a bit too thin though and her pose is a bit weak, but the Idea and the moabird are just AWESOME!

Garreth MacLeod · Jun 02, 2007, 04:53 PM // 16:53

NIce job on that one. Is there room on your waiting list? I need one now. lol

StarrTheInsane · Jun 03, 2007, 04:23 PM // 16:23

If you hurry and post screenshots you can make it just in time, but after you I'm going to change things up.

Just an announcement to requests after this, I'm going to be shortening the list to 3 just to give a heads up that I'll be working on your art soon. I also ask of more description so I have a better idea of what to include (things like the location in-game where the character is most often seen, favorite colors, theme/personality); however as a reflection of the improved character insight, I'll also be raising the cost. 20k will get you work similar to what I've been doing, 50k gets you a higher resolution with more detail, but you can still get work for 10k (simpler portrait work). Also still accepting minipets of approximate value. This all comes in the wake of grey's "say no to commission queues" thread.

On the issue of camping the thread, I don't really see a huge problem with it. If you're nowhere near the list, I don't see much use in crowding up a page with screenshots, but as it gets closer, most people have been very quick to come in and update their request posts. I'm not likely to turn anyone down, but in the future I encourage people to post a little bit of a description with their initial request.

All that said, I love drawing and I love the education that I'm receiving by doing all these pictures. I hope that everyone enjoys their art and that in the future as I improve, you will return for some even better character art.

Thank you all!
