Well, I've seen those pics of Hengis' ranger in your art thread (great job by the way ) and I was wondering, have you chosen anyone from this thread yet and if so, who?

I've currently chosen one picture to work on, which was PMed to me. An evil female warrior born in the realm of torment no less!

My time for commissions is really pushed at the moment so they'll be few and far between I'm afraid. However, there are a few in this thread that spark my interest.

I'm not going to commit to any dates or times of when I'll have images finished at the moment, because it will likely just cause disapointment.

But basically, I'm still working, just very slowly :P

Sounds an excellent concept. A warrior version of Razah. Maybe call them Wazaah(cue Budweiser ad).

Looking forward to seeing it.

Just finished my last commission. I'll be doing some work on the Sanra + Shan competition, then I'll probably be looking to start work on another new commission or two, sometime in the next few weeks.

So, for those interested, now's the time to add new pitches, or update your old ones!

Oh, and I also updated my "Wanted Items" list.

Alrighty, I've taken a look at all the pitches both here, and in my PM inbox and the ones that most caught my attention were Osiris and Fallen Hunter.

I'll be PMing you both, in case you don't see this message, but if you're both still interested in having a commission done, I'm set to go!

Hi!

I think you are an amazing artist and I would love it if you did a picture for me. I PM'd the story and links to you, but I will post the story here as well.

If you like my story and decide to do my picture, I would like a full digitaly painted, multiple character picture. I can pay you what ever you need to start. As stated above, I PM'd the links for screen shots of both characters, pets and a couple of shots from Mineral Springs that I really like. I like the armor both rangers are wearing but I’d like the male ranger's boots to match the dark brown in the rest of the armor.


The story:

Christopher Snow Sr and Don’t Mess Withme, were both from Mineral Springs, in the southern Shiverpeaks. They grew up together and eventually fell in love. He was 24 and she was 20 when they married. They loved the quiet beauty of the snow on the fallen hills and trees. Although the quiet was beginning to be disturbed because of the vile creatures being driven southwest by the Charr.

They decided to join the Ascalon army to keep the advancing Charr from invading Ascalon, and possibly further in to their beloved Shiverpeaks. Shortly before they began their training, they had a son and named him Christopher Snow (Jr.), after his father. He loved playing outside the gates of Ascalon and it was there that he met and, became friends with Gwen. Both dreamed of being soldiers in the Ascalon army, like their fathers.

On the day of the searing, both children had been seen playing near the catacombs entrance in Ashford Abbey. In all the confusion, it is believed that the children got lost, somewhere in the catacombs.

Christopher and his wife spent many years searching for both children, looking in every nook and cranny as they fought their way across Tyria, battling the Charr, Grawl and all the other evil creatures that had invaded their country. Christopher, with his loyal and fearless lynx (Orson), and his favorite weapon, the storm bow. His wife, Dont Mess Withme, along with her rare black moa (Buffalo Wing) used her favorite, Drago’s flat bow.

They still hadn’t found the children by the time they had beaten the evil lich in Hell’s Precipice and so, went to Cantha, at the request of Mehnlo, to help the people there fight Shiro Tagachi.

They liked the people of Cantha, although as they traveled east, they were forced to pick sides between 2 warring factions, the Kurzicks and the Luxons. The Luxons who lived on the beautiful Jade Sea, were animal lovers, particularly turtles and so, because of his love for turtles, they aligned with the Luxons. However, the two factions were soon forced to work together to fight the evil Shiro and were ultimately victorious.

No sooner had they finished in Cantha, they heard of someone called Warmarshal Varesh, who was attempting to summon the evilest of all evil, Abaddon. Thinking that Abaddon might lead them to their son, they traveled to Elona. Before they could get to Abaddon, they had to face the Lich and Shiro again. After defeating Abaddon, they were no closer to finding Christopher Jr then they had been when they started.

They decided to stay, for now in Elona. They enjoy the people and their culture. It may however, turn in to a short stay because there have been rumors that the catacombs are being cleared and reopened soon and they would like to continue the search for Christopher and Gwen. They are hoping that once Christopher Jr is found their family can be whole once more. They are also hoping to add Gwen to the family, since both of her parents are dead.


•Christopher Snow Sr’s Titles/Achievements – Protector of Tyria and Elona (first tier), one mission away from protector of Cantha. Currently working on skill hunter (for all 3 continents), cartographer, more than half way to Legendary Spearmarshall and Conquering Commander (Lightbringer), level 2 on Adept Treasure Hunter and Collector of Wisdom.

Screen shots with and without helmet you decide on which to use in the painting. Asking for a full digital painting and background.
no helmet
with helmet

The name of the character Alesia Warhammer
Most hatted enemie: the master of the pupets being abadon

Her life begins in the city of Ascalion born into a family of hammer fighters, warriors in paticular, and is the only female child in the family of three. That being said her life when young was not easy since her mother died outside the gates during a char suprise invasion when she was only 3. At the age she was aware of the cost and sacrifice of human lifes to keep the city safe. 10 years later she looses here father during the chars devastating attack on ascalion turing it to ashes, and at the time she vowed to become a warrior stronger that the other male warriors around. Thought the problem for a female entering a academy to fight is not alowed due to discrimination from the male warrios, so she ends up cutting her hair short and wearing a helmet to hide her face and hair so that she could be accepted as one of them. She gets in the accademy and uses a sword instead of a hammer while going against family tradition at age 15 and graduates in the top 10% of the class and in now ready to go out to fight and defend the remaining city of ascalion and follow the prince's lead towards kryta her new to be safe home or so she thought. Once she has reached kryta she has lost many close friends due to fighting. Now as a adult age 24, and fighting alongside other adults she gets many complements on her great fighting skills and stamina againts tought foes others strugle to take down, still even at this time and new arrmor sets she still keps here face and hair covered so she stays blended in with the other fighters. A few years later after fighting here way all over tyria she comes to find out that the Lich was and still is behind the char atacks so she goes to the ring of fire islands and with the help of a mixed gender party group of 8 kills the lich, since before he fell he mumbled he was being controlled by a another stronger foe......a god. At this point she realizes that her home land is safe now but will not be safe forever since there is a stornger foe still and traveles to elona to find and fight her way to the god who is the pupet master of all evil in the worlds. Shrotly after reaching elona age 34 she hears a conversation about the temple of the gods and that if you want once the select few that reach the temple having not died on the way be able see the ghost and talk to falen loved ones. At first thought her gut turns into knots about what here parrents will think once they see her as a warrior and all she has done and gone against family tradition. The road will be long and hard since it takes her 5 years to even get to the temple of the gods and give plenty of time to decide if she wishes to finally remover her helmet to see her true identy to here parrents, and close friends and allies.
Once she reached the temple of the gods and easily kills the reborn Lich from abadon having grown so much stronger from when she first encountered him takes off here helmet and prays to the gods to see and talke her fallen family from long ago. At first her parents dont know what to say they are in shock that there daughter not destaned to become a warrior has surpassed so many other male warriors on her quests and travels while maintaining a secret identity. At first she says shes sorry for going againts family tradition; they stoped by her and her dad said "you have done more that i ever could you have by surpassing so many and defeating what others could not" now she is speachless from that her parrents accepted who shes is and becamne and are happy for her not anggry at her decision and what she has done. With this new found strength from here parents words of wisdom she goes off to kill abadon alone since her allies have abandoned her once they found out she was a she not a he. The battle vs abadon is long and hard it takes 1 full days worth fighting to kill him, and at the point when both are nearly exhausted she take up her sword and jams it into abadons heart delevering the final blow. Now that the master of pupets and evil is dead she colapses on the ground exhaused, few hours latter past fellow allies come looking for here and find abadon dead and alesia near death on the ground they take her back heal here up. Once healed up she finds out that her allies had a second thought on the way they acted and they all forgive each other. Now that the world is safe forever she makes the long trip back to ascalion to help rebuild the city and fight off easy foes for the remander of her life without a helmet hiding her identy so that everyone can know a woman did what a male could not.

Hope you like it and chosse it as one to draw, it is my first request for any painting of a character in GW

Hi, I'm interested in Single Character Full Paint comission.

Nolani Blaze is my female Mesmer who is a cocky, sexy misunderstood gal. She was born in the city of Rin as Nolani Richards. Her parents were killed during the Searing at her age of 11. All alone she was taken in home by the mother of (later Sister) Luna, Lady Cassandra Blaze. Nolani was adopted, and found a home at the Blaze's. Luna is like a sister to her and her best friend. She is also her conscience. In the never-ending quest for revenge on the murderers of her parents the Charr she finds a friend in Luna when times get hard or heated. Besides Luna and Lady Cassandra, Nolani is a loner. Someone who is not eager to make new friends and always cautious and prejudiced when it comes to others. Every year she comes back to the ruins of Rin to show respect for herlost parents. Mystery is what she is and revenge and justice is what she stands for.

And now for some happy thoughts!
Armor: Rogue's 15k, dyed purple and Vabbian dyed white with black boots.
Weapons: Scrying Glass Staff
Titles/Achievements: Legendary Skill Hunter, Hapless, Prot of Tyria, KoaBD, and several other titles. Completed all campaigns and has been literlay everywhere.
Good points: Determined, class, independant
Bad sides: Cocky, loner, rage
Age: 26
Enemies: Charr

I hope this qualifies ^^
I would like a drawing which shows her thinking of her parents, staring at the sky, or at the graves of them or something. But if you have a better vision/idea for this gal, go ahead.
Will post some screens later on.
