Finally figured how I'd like to do things so I'm editing this into a proper commission thread.

!!!

Examples of my work @ DA http://neesa.deviantart.com/

COMMISSIONS
From now on I will require payment up front. Sorry about this but I would rather not have to beg for the reward after I've already worked several days and hours on a commission. If for some reason I am unable to finish your commission I will give you back everything you gave me, no questions asked. You can trust the fact that I would not want my DeviantArt or forum image anywhere tarnished because I would like to do many kinds of commissions in the future aswell.

-Max 2 characters per drawing
-Simple ideas only, nothing too complex
-I will simplify and tweak armor to my liking in a way that it will still resemble the original, it's my style of doing things.
-There is no "waiting list", I pick what I feel like doing at that moment because it's the best way to get things done for me. There is no first come, first served and I promise you, price has no effect because I let my inspiration do the choosing.
-Commissions may take from 1-2days to 1-2weeks depending on my work schedule.

Prices are not set on stone. You can offer me what you think would be suitable and I will tell you what I could do for your commission. If you offer ~100k+ I will do a proper painting. For ~30kish I will draw a simpler colored or B&W sketch. Give me 1g and I will draw you a stick figure. I like to study and experiment so each piece could be somewhat different.

What I won't do
-Overly sexual/pornographic stuff, tasteful nudity and cuddly couples are fine.
-Gore because I'm BAD at it... I can try though... I do like zombies.
-Preferably no complex masks, hoods and the like are ok.
-Complex requests
-Only doing digital paintings for now

What I need
-Post in the thread or PM me your price offer, gold, ectos, armbands, minis etc. all welcome (I'm working on my HoM*cough*)
-Screenshots and/or description of your character or idea
-Doesn't have to be GW related

I will contact you about the commission when I'm ready to start and we can sort out the details in PM. If you have any questions, ask away!

TASK LIST

That is a really different style. I'd be interested in commissioning some art from you.

I'd love to do an art-trade if you're interested? Otherwise I'd be willing to pay 100k for something like your monk drawing.

Aww thanks!

I'd be interested in an Art Trade at some point ^^ (totally love that monk drawing). I'm up for GW or OCs or any other character.

Let me know if this is something that we can arrange but doesn't have to be soon (maybe in a couple of weeks. I got a major artwork that I need to do that I plan to start this weekend).

If not, I'll see if I have 100k laying around afer my commissions with eeks and Vulpes ^^

Also, if you don't mind me asking, are you using Photoshop? I am curious about your brush settings because I really like the brush strokes in your painting.

Nolani is bursting with artists yet again, and nothing brings me greater joy. Good to see you back in our company.

I'll be sending a PM your way later today.

I'd be happy to do some art trades with you! OC's or GW characters, either is fine with me. After a couple of weeks sounds good to me too so I can finish my first commish.

And yes, I just started using Photoshop CS5 at work. I used CS2 before and they both have the same brush because it's a default Photoshop brush. I'm very bad with custom brushes...and too lazy to install them. xD I just tweak a regular brush a little bit and then just do some crosshatching with it. Here's a screenie of my most used brush settings:


(spacing 0% actually lol)



My stuff looks pretty sloppy up close.

A spackled brush can also be fun to use for some portions like making skin texture but usually I'm too lazy for that too haha:

I think I got this from the people sharing their brushes @ Conceptart.org. I used to have a better spackled brush but I can't find it anymore. '-'

How much would such artwork actually cost like the one you showed in the original post?

EDIT:
Alright I'm just selling everything I've got. Got enough money for whatever it's going to cost. You may add me to the list, will update this post with info soon.

EDIT 2:
Kimi
Name: Kimi (Asian)
Eyecolor: Brown
Personality: Outside of her missions she is mostly a person who makes the most out of her life, she is also a party animal. In her missions she is pretty serious, but tends to do some sweet talking when she is face to face with someone.
Discription: Kimi has been trained into Ninjutsu since she was 7 (she is now 25 years old). It's not just Ninjutsu that she has been trained into, she has also mastered the Shadow Arts. By which she can walk through the shadows. Fading away in black smoke,completely becoming invisible for a brief moment and being able to create a shadow-ish illusion of herself, just to name a few abilities. Currently she lives in a big city mainly run by criminal orginisations. She is part of a gang to stop all the criminal activities with high-tech Ninja tools including handguns, and their assault team wears modern traditional Samurai suits (so strong that it resists a huge amount of bullets) with mainly an assault gun and a hardened sword. The year this takes place in is around 2075-2100.
Price: 100k
