Basically, I'd either need to work at a lower resolution (like around 100DPI) and scale it up, or just paint at a much higher resolution than usual. Both of them have their drawbacks; scaling up may result in a lower quality image, and painting in a higher resolution, just means it would take me longer to produce a work than it usually would. Also, I realised that you'd already posted in the thread before it got locked, and thus, you're already on the waiting list ^_^ (4 from the end)
Allow me to explain in more detail:

Here is how I want my poster to look, with the picture inside the thin-black-bordered box:



That white area is the entire A2 page. That's why the pixel dimensions are off.

The Higher-res thing, I'm probably wrong about how photoshop works, but I was thinking that you do a 1200DPI image with the pixel dimensions I told you, then I import it as 300DPI and it will be the correct size but with larger "brush strokes" for want of a better word.

EDIT: Just wanted to add, your pixel dimensions for a full A2 page are spot on.

just thought i would comment , at work when ever we have to do large graphics for print/posters/signs we ether use vectors (which dont mater how big u make it) or if its pixles art we would use a smaller dpi (around 100-200) as you wouldnt be standing as close to an A2 as you would an A4 and 1200dpi would kill photoshop and get brush lag (well on my machine anyway)

one option is you could work in low res and just up it towards the end to add a little more detail.

Hope that helps

Hey there.
Just wondering where I stood in line.
I posted back on page 4, before you ended new commissions.

*Checks waiting list*

There are 20 people before you Kyyp, however, don't despair, I'm finding that as I work my way through the list, there are a significant number of people who I can't contact, or who have just lost interest. So that number could be lower than it looks.

It's kinda... closed. Fox, would it be worth posting your current list so that people have an indication of where they are (even if people drop out) without you having to go look for them?

For those that may have missed the first page: (it really does pay to read at least the first couple of pages, before skipping to the end to reply >_>)

...I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW COMMISSIONS

Alas, I have so many already queued up, that I could be working for months before I get to the end. In time, I will hopefully re-open for new works; however, saddly for new comers, that may be a while.


I'm afraid this still holds true. When I do finally reach the end of my list, I will probably come to this thread and check for people who've noted their intrest, however, that's a long way off yet, and I'll make no promises concerning your place in the queue, should you post here now.

[Edit]

since the list is frozen, I think it should be ok to post it now. Before you read it, I'll give you a brief idea of how I do my commissions.

First up, I like to have at least 2-3 images to be working on at any one time. This means that if I get tired of working on somthing, I have another image I can go to.

What I tend to do when I finish a commission, is send out messages to the next few people on the list, asking if they are still interested. If I can't make contact with you at the provided location (Guru, Email, In Game etc), I'll move on to the next commission. That's not to say that you've in any way missed your chance, as soon as the person get's back to me, I'll treat them as if they are right at the top of the list, it's just I've had a couple of cases where I've had nothing to work on, and spent a week or more waiting on people.

With that little preamble, here's the list as it stands:

------------------------
Names listed are Guru accounts, NOT IGNs
[***] = Only contact name is IGN (which I'm not divulging for privacy reasons.

COMPLETED COMMISSIONS:
Shanaeri Rynale
ck pupu
ZenRgy
Quantum Archangel
Phoenix Saphire
Sarah
Unlucky Slayer
Hypernecrofear
Valeria
Fariza Hidal
deathandthehealing


STILL WAITING:
Hengis Stone 09/10/06

Bowman Artemis 07/11/06
Ties 08/11/06
Primusq 08/11/06
Thallandor 09/11/06

So there you have it, that's my commission list as it stands.

[edit 2 ]

Just note that the list doesnt include "special" commissions, such as competition entries, nor does it count the images I'm currently working on (working on 2 at the moment)

Oh WOW!!! I thought I had lost my chance as my original request for a commission was deleted as I queried why you were banned at the time or something...

Thank you so much for noticing the post while it was there.

Knowing that I am still on the list, and in fact pretty near the top now has absolutely made my Christmas!

As you can probably tell, I am DEFINITELY still interested!!!

lol >_> Who knows could be that long O_o

If anything, my works are slowing down rather than speeding up, poor old RTS and Hengis have been waiting some time for their latest commissions. Also, expectations of people commissioning works has risen slightly, likewise, my own personal expectations of my work, are rising. This all leads to commissions taking longer to complete now than they did. Also, remember, this is somthing I do in my spare time, and sometimes, if it's a choice between spending a night GvGing with guildies, or working on a commission, I'll not get much drawing done. Even on weekends, when I've got more spare time on my hands, there's only so much I can do. In a perfect world, I'd get payed real money to draw, saddly that's not the case, and GW platinum doesn't pay the bills >_>
