No problem, Qing, whenever you have the time. That is a fantastic drawing for MariskaAmy. One of your best.

I LOVE IT!
Amazing job, couldnt be happier with it =]
I believe you still have my IGN, but it might be more effective if we decide on a time to trade due to the timezone differences. I can be on from 10 am to 10 pm GMT+1 all day when i want to, I just never am, so tell me when to hop on and i will

Hrm. Well I managed to get together the blueline of Darcy's piece (ie second stage, after redline layout), but something just looks wrong. As it's almost time to leave for the train I'll leave off for now, and I'll drop this up here.

Looking at the small image, I'm wondering if her legs are angled too far back. But I'm also having a lot of trouble with perspective on the leg, especially the armor pieces. As it is her left foot is a stand-in.

If anybody has any suggestions as to how to fix this, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and ignore the face - in the blueline it's usually just a kind of mock-up.



EDIT: Wow, I just realized how small the picture is. I might need to redraw the whole dang thing.

EDIT 2: Aaaaand her axe arm is way short. I'll deal with that but I don't think it's the main prob.

Im a total noob when it comes to drawing, so dont bite my head off if what im saying makes no sense.. But it seems to me like her legs are too long to fit the torso, especially when you look at the (for us) right leg and then look at her torso. But like i said, could be totally how thats supposed to be, just wanted to try and help out ^^

I do have a bad tendency of elongating people's legs (and necks); probably comes from too many years of doing only costume designs. I tried to shorten hers up but they could probably stand to be a bit smaller. Thanks!

I really like it. I like the long legs. And I can't say they look off. Looks just fine imo, perhabs her hough could be a bit thicker, but other then that, looks good.

But yeah.. the arm holding the axe is pretty off xd

I'd like to get a commission from you, if possible ^^

Full-body, full-color, so 20k+tip.

I'd like my Paragon, Marjani Asha.

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...arjanirefs.jpg

She's the older half-sister of Farai, my Dervish, and the two couldn't be more different in personality. Marjani is rather silly and never takes things seriously, and is quite the joker. She travels and fights more for the fun of it, and also because she can't stand to have her little sister show her up.

As far as pose goes, something either casual or actiony works ^^ she uses the Darksong and an Aureate Aegis dyed to match her armor.

I'd like a full body full color commission as well, whenever (and if) you choose to accept.
I would like one of my character Dervish. For the pose, either holding a giant scythe in one hand (like gandalf holds his staff) or actiony. Whatever you think would look cool.

Oh maaaannnnnn more commissions. Well, I'mma cave here and add y'all to the list because I want the money and 'cause your charas are so pretty and I haven't drawn a derv or para before aside from my own.

But no guarantees on when it gets done, as I'm back in classes now. I'mma try to finish Darcy's over this next weekend but Sunday is my birthday so I prolly won't be drawing then. Friday afternoon I usually don't do work, though, so maybe I'll try and finish it then before D&D. At least with my price tag, if you forget and spend it before I get to you it's pretty easy to farm up again, na?

Soyeah. I'll try to make time.

Well then
Where to start?
I'd like a full color full body pic of my monk if that's possible Attachment included
I couldn't choose which armour set to ask you to draw, so just pick one which you prefer I'd like an action pose, not necessarily a standard GW one.

Okay then...Blue Screen of Doom is an evil, villainous monk - I actually made a story about it - but basically she was an abused slave who flipped and became a Sauran-worthy evil villain. Anywho - she's got attitude and i'd like the pic to show it if possible!
(Psst. Pink is attitude.
And manly.
Yes it is!)

Just a quick update, since it's been a looooooong time since I posted:

Yes, I'm still alive.
Yes, I still intend to do all the commissions I currently have.
No, I don't know how long it will take me.

My Drawing 102 class is over for the year (aside from a few hours' worth of tweaks to my final, and then showing it to the teacher), and that was what was eating most of my time. I've still got to work on my Writing I final paper and I'm not yet done with my finals for Licensed Image or 2D Design, but those will take a bit less time and effort (and the LI project is due Tuesday, so...). So I intend, with my extra 6 free hours a week, to get back to work on these. I will however also have to focus on packing up to go home, so a lot of them will not be done until the summer.

Okay okay okay I'm beginning to sound like a broken record here.

But I'm alive and yes I will still do all your commissions.

Things I currently have been doing that are not commissions:
- Trying to find a job (EURGH)
- Dealing with a medical insurance issue
- Getting back in contact with old friends
- Trying to level a new WoW character (yes, I'll fess up to this, I have had some free time) to play with some old friends
- Putting off dealing with fixing the lineart for Darcy's pic (this tends to happen whenever I get stuck on something, be it a drawing or a game)

However I will force myself to finish at the very least Darcy's commish by the end of next week, unless I suddenly and magically get hired and have to work several hours a day (yeah right). Maybe then I will be back in the commishly mood and will binge on drawing and get them all done in a week. Maybe I won't, and I will only do one a week or something. But I WILL work on them, because it's not fair to y'all that I put them off this long.
