Default Valdis' Art Commissions

Hey all! So, I love art, and can draw very well. I hate farming to make money. So I'm commissioning artwork for all your character needs to raise money for my Hall of Monuments!

Commissions will start at 50k based on sketches. From there, adding color is another 50k. Weapons and such are free and just come with the drawing. Pets and such (depending) will be free. Adding a stylized background is free, but specific backgrounds will vary in price depending on the difficulty.

Full body shots and poses will cost more than a head shot or torso shot.

Best way to contact me is in game or PM on here. Game name: Valdis The Unmaker.

Please let me know! I'd love to do art for you!!!!

Here are some examples of past art and completed commissions:

Heya Valdis! I am actually really attracted to your work, and would be interested in getting art done by you. I really enjoy the pieces you did with the skull and the figure you did in brown and yellow, because they seem a bit dark and abstract.

Here are 3 photos of my character. My favorite is the one of her playing the "flute" but you can go in any direction you would like, and feel free to PM Me in game w/ any additional questions. =) IGN > Laurie Buns

That doesnt look anything like your other works. How much was that piece so we know what to expect?

Keep in mind, the pieces I posted were just examples of what I can do. I can draw in a moderately wide variety of styles :]

Ummm, I would say my price increases with backgrounds and colour. I was paid quite generously for that one.

I'd say maybe for full color, highlights, shadowing, and background - the whole shabang. Maybe more around 65kish? But I'm super flexible with price, because I love to draw XD

EDIT: I am saving for obby, so that was probably taken into account for this last commission. I was paid highly, but that was out of generosity. Don't shy away if it looks too expensive, just gimme a holler and we'll work something out :]

I like what you've done with the armor. I'd buy that armor right away if it were available
I prefer the non line-art version as well actually so thank you for doing both versions. I hope you had fun with it. I look forward to commissioning another piece sometime soon

Hey all! So, I do love doing art, and I love getting commissions, but no more peoples are on the list

I'm getting much closer to my obby armor, but I can only get closer with the help of you fabulous peoples!! ^^

A few highly paid commissions (150k+) would get me the armor I've been trying to get unsuccessfully for 5 years. I'll do multiple people, I can do them not using photoshop, which looks more like my original examples (ink painting, graphite drawings, etc. - overall more photorealistic).

You name it I'll draw it!

PS - Feel free to donate! It's the last thing I'm really striving for in game!! D:

And if ya need some motivation: I did this drawing just for you all ^^

It would be a huge help if yall wanted to bid on this pic!! Bids starting at 50k? Since Nock Toran was nice enough to let half the final bid price go to me, 50% of this sale will go to Nock Toran! Let's get our obby together buddy!! =D



Just lemme know what ya need ^^

Hi, I am interested in commission of my ranger and black moa pet and if possible holding a storm bow.

Dont Mess Withme:

Storm Bow:

As for pose, I would like some sort of interaction between my ranger and my pet, something funny, endearing... maybe a younger Mess with a baby moa?

Let me know what you want, I am sure we can agree on a payment.

I print and frame most commissions so I would love the highest resolution you can possibly do.

Thanks in advance.

Please PM me if you have any questions.

Heya bud! Looks like you are coming along really well. I decided to take up your offer on doing my warrior. ^_^ I really enjoyed my last picture as you know and I really like what you did with EtherealByte's Assassin. I personally enjoyed the lineart version tho.
Well I'll catch ya in game bud! Have fun and can't wait to see you in your obby!

(Please add the glasses into the art if you could, please!)
