Nah, I use distort or just move whatever I want moving bit by bit using copy and paste. When I tried redrawing what I wanted moving, it came out to wiggly with really noticable skipping

BTW, your pony version of yourself is sooooo cute XD I really love the chaos hooves XD absolutely adorable!

I mean.. I could do it, it's just... ...makes me feel like an uncreative copycat.

Ahh Ok, I understand. So could you do something like This (Witcher) without a scar and add a black katana on his back?

So... what kind of personality does your Ele have? Last year (on page 2) you put in a request after I had ninja'ed out of Nolani, and you requested your Ele with this as the pose/expression ref. Pretty big difference if you ask me. Is there a particular reason why you want a black katana? Does it have a practical use or is it just for looks?

Is it at all possible if you could find a pose/expression ref that ISN'T from an anime, game, or movie?

Ahh, I also distort to get my animation frames. The last time I tried drawing frame-by-frame, the result was this (I also used the 'tween' option on Photoshop):

I was thinking about this post last night and I came to the decision that I want to try some more advanced frame by frame animating >.> I'm going to look around for video capture/video-to-frames shareware and see if I can do some animations based on the in-game GW animations for stuff.

There is a reason, in story that I have created for him I made him a swordsman, in fights he don't use staffs like other mages but he use black katana. And I dont have any other ref picture that isn't taken from game/movie/anime. I gave it for you to base on it, but now I dont have any clue about pose

. So if you want, create him whaterver you want

ohh, interesting. Does he fight in melee (like a conjure/sword build) or still casting spells from far away (caster modded sword)?

if I draw him in the witcher pose, all you'll see of the katana is the hilt xD

O great artist, I have many platinums for you. ^_^ I will give you information on two characters, and you can choose which one you would have the most fun drawing. If you want to do both, I will gladly pay for both!

Character Name: Alice
Reference Pictures: Ref + High res wiki gallery
Eye Colour: Brown
Pose: Anything you think would be fun! This, this, and this are all fine.
Expression: Peaceful or happy or something. Anything you like!
Style/Size: I would like the Semi-realism simple and would love to pay the suggested 100k+ for a full one.
Cut Off?: A dynamic pose would be awesome, so if you are inspired and want to cut something off that is ok with me.
Background: No.
Special: After getting a white bunny for her birthday she got Elite Kurzick dyed blue to go with the Alice in Wonderland theme. It might be cute to have her holding the bunny. What do you think? If that costs extra, I will pay extra.

Est. Price: 100k+

Character Name: Nayru
Reference Pictures: One, Two Her armor is from Vabbi and is a sort of teal/turquoise colour, and you can do the goggles if you want to but I don't care either way. Hi res wiki gallery
Eye Colour: Brown
Pose: Maybe gazing off into the distance, or something like 1, 2, or anything else you would like to do!
Expression: Stern, proud (See "Special:")
Style/Size: I would like the Semi-realism simple and would love to pay the suggested 100k+ for a full one.
Cut Off?: A dynamic pose would be awesome, so if you are inspired and want to cut something off that is ok with me.
Background: No.
Special: I plan to use Nayru as my norn character in GW2 so if you wanted to add tattoos and make her more nornish that might be fun. Again, it is totally your choice. I will be happy with anything you do!
Est. Price: 100k

Contact IGN: May I please send this to you in a PM? I am afraid of stalkers.

-snip-

I like your char designs! You have a char design style that I don't see very often in commissions. I'm kinda leaning towards Nayru right now, but Alice's theme (and the opportunities for a custom design that presents) are really tempting too. When I have time I'll do some sketching and see what I can come up with. One or two drawings, either way accepted!

Feel free to PM IGN whenever you see fit.

In general news: had a couple quiet days, adjusting to different summer schedule. Ironically, I'm getting up earlier than during the school year. Getting to work on Frostkisses' commission tonight.

When you say chibi head, do you mean these (type of chibi I no longer have on my first post) or just a head shot of one of my other chibi styles?

*Edit*:
Here's the link to a good chunk of info-if you need anything else dont hesitate to ask

all images are direct link to photobucket. (hope thats ok)

Style: id like an animated thingy please!
my request would be a bust image. the animated part to be her eyes going from normal to an all white glow. possibly close to the style you did of invertations necro(semi realism fancy)? idk if for animations that kind of detail would be too much-let me know

Expression: annoyed-borderline mad
Est. Price-100k? lol since this is still a fairly new thing for you and i would be looking for a bit more of a detailed piece i dont have a problem with paying more. we can talk

IGN Frost Kisses -i dont play nearly as much as i used to, but if you need to contact me-i check guru daily.

Dundundun.

I know you asked for an annoyed expression, but your description of your ele makes me think that when she starts flaring up, her annoyance would turn into an evil grin as she gets ready to nuke whatever was annoying her, so that's what I did. I also tried out a new style for drawing hair, because my normal style is more "soft" and I wanted to give this pic a more icy look.

Edit: I've changed the layer order in the pic so that the overly noticeable white smoke that appears on her body during the animation is behind her, so that will be different in the final version.

Photobucket has a 1MB image size cap, so after I'm paid I'll upload the full quality version on dA.

@Frost - woot! I'm in EST (GMT-5) -- I didn't see you on today, so I'll PM you my schedule for tomorrow. I noticed from your forum posts (I'm a stalker D: ...) that you tend to post in the 12am~6am range..

@Kitto - okay, that works. xD

Xiaquin · May 14, 2011, 03:46 PM // 15:46

Great job on frostkisses! The effect is pretty neat but I think you nailed the hair, looks just enough like ice that it's perfect.

Aeronwen · May 14, 2011, 11:44 PM // 23:44

Yeah the hair is great, love the eyes best tho.
