Hello.

I have way too much free time, not nearly enough sanity and some sort of drawing skills. In order to help fill the free time, tame the insanity and practice the drawing skills, I have decided to draw for you, if you so desire.

Typically I prefer an anime style, but I draw realistically as well. I also do mostly traditional media, but if you ask nicely I’ll probably get my tablet out.

You can view most of my work at http://kalinotora.deviantart.com/

And for those of you that are too lazy to go through it, here is my latest work.



As for prices...
Single figure line art -20k (10 for half/ head shots)
Single figure color-40k (30 for half, etc)
Single figure background-60k
Single figure background and color 80k

+10k for each additional figure
UPDATE- because it's not fair for me to do twice the work without getting paid a fair amount >.> Although I feel kinda like a jerk for doing it.

If the piece would take 2 pages, double the price. Although I'll give 10k off the total. And I will give you an estimate of how many pages it should take when you tell me how many figures. Half pages are free, and were probably my fault for not guessing correctly.
---
So I'm officially adding digital coloring to my list of things I do.


Uploaded with ImageShack.us

It'll cost more because it takes me days to do something like that, where as something like that with markers would just take hours...

EDIT:
I would like one of my Assassin 'I Zerg Zergling I'.

Link

She's a stealthy Assassin with the ability to create Shadowish clones of herself. She has the ability to heat up her hands to break through steal much more easily (usually she wears Elite Luxon Gloves, but not seen in the image).

Just name your price and we will see.

I like your way of art.

Okay, well, I have no idea what to charge yet, so I will ask what would you like to pay?

Please keep in mind that a piece like that will take me about 2 days of pretty much straight work.

Generally it's good to charge depending on how long you think you will take with the drawing. I think 80k for something like the drawing you have up should be fine. I tend to price pencil lineart as low as 20-30k, and then if the person wants extra elements to the drawing, such as two people and a large background in full colour, it can jump to over 100k.
In the end, it's really up to the artist to control the price, and make sure that they don't do things too cheaply, or too expensive.

Also, would you be interested in an art-trade by any chance? I like how you draw your character's faces, and would love to get a simple portrait-type drawing with no background. You can see examples of my work here: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/p...t10440144.html
If you're not up for an art-trade, I can also pay for it.

Oh, any! Burly male characters aren't my usual, but I will promise to do my best. (if you want examples of my drawings of male characters, there's a few in my da account.)

I'd be happy to do an art trade. Does trading a portrait for a portrait sound good?

Also thanks for the pricing *had no clue*

Post an image of your character in my thread and some info and I'd love to get started for you.

As far as my girls, pick any you like.

That sounds very good! I will do a full colour portrait for you, of a character of your choice. I'm gonna be going away for a week starting tomorrow, so it will be a while before I can post it up, but I'll work on it while I'm away. Is it ok if I colour it with traditional means? Or would you like computer coloured? I am fine with either way you want to colour your part of the trade as well. Surprise me. Manga-style is also welcome, just work with what you feel most comfortable with. Also, could you pm me screenshots of the character you want drawn? Or you can also post them in my thread if you'd like.

Here is my ele, who I'd like drawn:

Her name is Kerma Viili. She is a rather matronly 35 year old lady, who thinks highly of honour, strength and family values. Her ancestors have been valorous knights and paladins, and she tries to live up to their high ideals. She has never been physically very strong, but has found that magic has replaced what she lacks in physical strength. After most of her family was wiped out during the Searing, she went on a long, long journey to avenge them and to show that honour and valor still stands proud even in adversity.

Phew. Welcome to this endeavor. Skimming your works, It looks like you spend a fair amount of time per piece. Seeing this influx of requests, it may become stressful. Pace yourself!
I'll be watching for future works, and perhaps may chip in my request at a late date.
Good luck!
