ooh, that pose is really lovely, i think it suits your character personality really well.

Get better soon *hug*

Ravenhawk · Feb 05, 2011, 04:51 PM // 16:51

I love that drawing Gem! What dress is she wearing? The wedding thing? *wants it for her mesmer*

I hope you feel better soon. Can't wait to see more!

GeminiJuSa · Feb 06, 2011, 12:17 AM // 00:17

@Erik: Once the new year is over, I'm hoping to be starting on your commission

@Magik: She's such a poser my Gemini X_X But I like her like that :P My necro isn't as poser happy, but I draw her anyway mwahaha! ;P

@Raven: Yup, it's the wedding dress. The one you can't dye. There's one more or less identic along with it that you can dye though, but Gemini seems to like the white one... *sings on "White wedding" but with altered lyrics; "Hey little Gemini, what have you done? Hey little Gemini Who's the only one?"*

It's my first time drawing her in it though :S And the ele boobs (on the actual game mesh) looks like they're trying to escape when she's wearing it though T_T;

I was thinking of doing more in game pics later when I've finished off my commissions, to practice backgrounds some more. :3

We've been pm'ing about this, and I figured that no matter what the answer to the question is, I'll be able to get enough anyway ^^ So yeah, feel free to deny this commishion if you want to, as it's not one thats part of the sale =]

Charakters Name: Nakashima
Age: 23
Profession: Elementalist
Personality: Strong, outgoing, feels a strong urge to protect those that she loves. She wont back down when things gets hard, and her enemies are afraid of her. At the same time, her friends simply love her because she's very kind towards those that she calls her friends, she's a very generous and friendly person.
Screens:

I'd like a full body, full colour, art of her, waiting time isnt a big deal, as we've discussed in a PM. Pose doesnt matter to me, from what I've seen, you can make up poses a lot better than I can

Also really doesnt matter to me if you include the weapon or not, make it however you wish.

GeminiJuSa · Feb 06, 2011, 07:32 PM // 19:32

Of course I won't deny your commission. ^^ I put you on a special spot too.

Will probably get my hiny on to drawing again tomorrow or the day after.

Messy · Feb 12, 2011, 05:02 PM // 17:02

Great work, I would love a commission. The thread status is open, but I'd like to make sure you are taking requests before I post screenshots.

Thanks!

GeminiJuSa · Feb 12, 2011, 06:11 PM // 18:11

I do still take commissions, thought my designated spots are taken, so the waiting list is a while, if you're fine with that you can post screens

shadeblade47 · Feb 13, 2011, 04:25 PM // 16:25

Hey was just wondering if there's been any progress on mine, if you haven't been drawing, or if I got pushed back in line. Just asking because I haven't heard anything in about 3 weeks.

GeminiJuSa · Feb 13, 2011, 05:05 PM // 17:05

I haven't really been drawing, there have been a lot of stuff in the way, you've got your spot still.
The only time I've had to draw this week was during a 10h power cut, but I didn't have the refs then so I couldn't even do the sketch commissions.

shadeblade47 · Feb 14, 2011, 02:15 AM // 02:15

Ok not a problem, just double checking to see whats going on.

Thanks.

Edit:

Livestream is OFFLINE.

A WIP on Shadeblade's commission. You like? Just a sketch, but if you like it I'll keep working on it

shadeblade47 · Feb 15, 2011, 08:30 PM // 20:30

awesome and yea that's more of what i was looking for on the mouth

looking great.

GeminiJuSa · Feb 15, 2011, 08:50 PM // 20:50

I'm glad you like it. I'll keep working on that one then

Avai · Feb 16, 2011, 11:44 AM // 11:44

Name: Apostasy's Angel

Age: 32

Personality & stuff: Angel has fine taste in style as you can tell from his sexy armor and Tengu shield. He is very helpful, using his imbalanced Paragon skills to run his guildies through the most difficult spots. Confident. I cannot say he has no fear, but he is sure to never show fear in order to keep his party members motivated. He explores the world with his pet spider, Veronica (and of course his partner Acolyte Jin who also has a spider). He likes to PvP in both Guild Battles and the Hall of Heroes.

Pose (I will take it into consideration): Something confident and exciting.

Why you should draw Angel: OMG have you seen the reference pics? He is hot!

I have never sought out an artist to draw my characters before, but I am quite fond of them and would like something fun to remember them by once GW2 comes and I don't play GW1 any more. We have had such grand times together! I noticed in your description you stated "Male characters are encouraged" and most artists seem to prefer females so this is what made me decide to apply. I see you have a sale going for sketches, but if you are inspired and want to do something more please do what you want and I will pay what you ask.

Reference pics:

Thank you for the consideration!

I am liking this one! I notice it looks more realistic than your usual style . The armor looks wicked.

GeminiJuSa · Feb 17, 2011, 12:53 AM // 00:53

@Avai: I'll put you on the waiting list then. Thank you for choosing me to create your first commission.

I'll go out on a limb and assume you'd prefer to get a semi-realistic style for your hunk of Paragon?

@Raven: I constantly run several styles, because I want to be very versatile in my art. When I run out of commissions, I could do some drawings in my other "comical" styles for the lulz?

I would have to admit I'm a bit inspired by Charlie right now when I drew the warrior. I'm also under a lot of other influence right now as I've been reading and watching all of the other nice tutorials linked here in Nolani and some I've be recommended by a friend of mine, so I'm hoping for some development in style and art. :3

Avai · Feb 17, 2011, 09:22 AM // 09:22

Thanks.

I really like what I've seen you do so far. Semi-realistic would be ok, as would probably anything else you want to do. Well, I guess I would prefer to avoid the style where the head is really gigantic compared to the rest of the body. I don't really know what the different styles are, but I am sure whatever you do will be lovely.

MariskaAmy · Feb 17, 2011, 10:39 AM // 10:39

The WIP of the warrior looks great! I know where the person got the idea from hehe, bleach is an amazing anime =] You managed to capture the idea perfectly imho ^^
Also love how the obbi shards sticking out from his helmet look like horns! suits the rest so well!

It's always good to explore several styles. Because one day you'll just stumble upon the one that you feel at home with.

I love your comical styles too. Sometimes I doodle characters in chibi form as well but they're never good enough so they just stay in my sketch pad

Can't blame you. When I draw of a warrior-esque, fighting, battle pose. I can't avoid thinking Charlie Dayman lol.

I remember a time when I used to read countless tutorials too last year lol. I used to get overwhelmed and discouraged when I couldn't seem to get them right but now I learned that it's all about your personal style. I don't have the patience for a clean lineart so a flat color approach would be a pain for me to do..and I never like the end result even if I slave over it either. (Collabs that I color are a diff story though as other artists got the knack for making their linearts look clean and incredibly easy to flat color.)

I found a home in b/w rendering technique first then color

So yeah just keep that in mind when you think you couldn't grasp a certain technique. I've suffered from several art blocks because of that same frustration before and didn't realize at the time that it's all about personal preferences.
