Absolutely beautiful! I hope you don't mind I recommended you to the person looking to pay 150 zkeys for work like this. I know you have quite a list going here, but you're probably the closest thing to what they're looking for.

That work is stunning.
ANet should hire you. For sure. Not only do you make the characters look good, but the background too!

Beautiful work, that is the best depiction of a para in action I've ever seen.
I suspect I'll be able to hear Morag's reaction to this work from here.

THIS IS GORGEOUS. The background is fantastic, the dynamic pose is excellent, the translucent wings are flawless, the wurm looks - gross (love the drool - neat detail), and Eryn looks stunning. AUGH why don't I have another character slot to go make a Paragon?! This picture definitely beats the bland Nightfall ads that were in CGW (GFW? I can't remember if the change had happened yet) when it came out. In short, I am amazed.

Yasmin Parvaneh painting request
Hello,
I've been looking through Guru for quite a long time now trying to find an artist to capture the essence of my beloved Mesmer Yasmin. I've been unlucky, it would seem...either no one has responded, the artist is no longer doing portraits, or I didn't feel the connection to their work. I happened across your page and felt an instant connection with your work! I love the fantasy element your work imbues, I feel it matches Yasmin's etherial style. As an artist myself, I wanted to trust a very certain type of look and style to capture the essence that is Yassie.
Below are some images I've snapped of her.
To tell a little about her: Yasmin was inspired by the wife of Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon's wife. The real Yasmin Parvaneh is of English and Persian heritage--her beauty is both timeless and exotic. I chose to match my character's look to a photo taken of her in 1988 on a cover or Elle Magazine. Below is my own drawing of that cover that I used as inspiration to create the character:
Yasmin is primarily involved in PvP these days. The thrill of competition against humans excites her more that battling monsters. She loves being able to control and manipulate her opponents--toying with both their skills and their confidence during battle. Her beauty makes her appear aloof and even weak, but rest assured, within her exists a hellcat more than capable of holding her own against the largest and most brutal warrior. Firery and hotblodded she is as brave as she is beautiful. Capable as she is elegant.
Attached here is her IG biography summary from my Wiki page dedicated to her.
Quote:
Biography:
Stately, elegant, beautiful...just a few words often used to describe the lovely Yasmin as she grew up living a luxurious life in Ascalon City before the Searing. Like her mother and father, Yasmin is a gifted Mesmer, and true to the Mesmer mantra, she could enchant anyone or anything. Though she never intended to become a hero of any sort, Yasmin did find herself very attracted to danger and competitive fighting.
With Guild vs. Guild activities banned in Ascalon, she and her father, a famous Mesmer who competed both alongside, and even at one point against Devona's father in Ascalon during the old Guild Wars, traveled far and wide to watch the bloody competitive battles which were legal in Kryta, Cantha and Elona. Yasmin decided at a young age she wanted to compete in GvGs as her father did, and perhaps even be worthy enought to do battle in the Hall of Heroes. Her mother, on the other hand, did not approve of her beautiful daughter fighting, and eventually demanded that her father leave and never return, as he had filled his daughter's head with nonsense. Yasmin's mother began planning for her daughter to marry Duke Gaban to maintain her current wealth and standing.
Yasmin decided to defy her mother and run away to Kryta find her father just as the Charr attack Ascalon. As the city burns, she happens to find herself among Prince Rurik and a select recruits--Dahalia Sevigny, Tippe Of Elderwood, Detraya Fullvear, Adrin Alkavi and Gye of Darnassus--who manage to hold back much of the Charr forces. Over the course of two years following the Searing, Yasmin became closely involved with Prince Rurik. Though she doesn't realize it at first, she bares an uncanny resemblance to Rurik's dead fiancee Lady Althea (who was also a Mesmer). Thinking whimsically that she may marry the Prince, she is delighted when he pushes for Ascalon's refugees to go forward into Kryta. However, she is horrified by Rurik's reaction them coming across the ghost of Lady Althea and realizes that she will always share the Prince with this specter, her heart is quickly broken when she learns she looks almost identical to Althea. Angry, she berates the Prince and tells him "you used me...defiled me...violated my heart in a way no beast could," she continues "I will serve the people of Ascalon loyally, but alliegence to you is dead, the space you once occupied in my heart is black".
Broken hearted, she continues on with the refugees through the Shiverpeaks, where she witnesses Rurik's death at the hands of the Stone Summit. Friend Gye urges her to continue on to Kryta, where the two of them partake in GvG style competitions. While in Kryta, Yasmin and her friends come across the Mursaat and the Shining Blade, and decide to help stop the White Mantle. Their adventure takes them to the Fire Islands, where Yasmin is forced to fight an undead version of the Prince. The two make amends before he is sent to the Hall of Heroes.
Yasmin's skill as a competative fighter soon sends her across the ocean to Cantha, where she finds her father had remarried before passing away and she learns of a half-sister named Ariel. During her stay in Cantha, she studies under the legendary Satra of the guild That Hideous Strengh [THS] and improves her competatve skill earning her place in the guild Legend of Pi...and of course, she still manages to find time to stop Shiro Tagachi. Following her adventure, she returned to Kryta and took over leadership of the guild.
Currently, Yasmin's adventures have lead her to the desert lands of Elona, where she headed the call for help issued by Kormir.
Yasmin's talents as a mesmer have served various guilds such as The Arid Sea (Sand), Invallid Spell Target [WTF], Legend of Pi (Pi), The Zaishen [RNUB] Clan AOD (AOD) and her new guild Phoenix of Ascending [RiSe], which she proudly leads (she formed RiSe with her close friends from Ascalon and her old Pi teammates). Yas has had high profile romances with the Dervish warrior Kahmu, necromancer Adrin Alkavi, Mesmer of Bodom and the vanguard assassin Anton. Stylish as she is fearsome, she uses a butterfly mirror in combat to check her hair and makeup, as well as only the finest weapons. She is currently single.
|
I would be honored to be a subject of yours, if you would chose me.
Hopefully yours,
Yasmin ~

My name is Eragon Zarroc and i would be deeply honored if you were to pick my character for one of your comissions. Your artwork is superb and far surpasses many of the other artists that i have seen in the Nolani Academy thread. I was thinking of a scene where my warrior is dealing the final blow to one of the great gods of Tyria, Balthazar, would be amazing. My warrior would be parrying the great god's blazing sword in a shower of sparks while at the same time skewering Balthazar on the end of his sword. It could take place in the Hall of Heroes or at the forgemasters spot in the Fissure of Woe. It would be very awesome for their armor to look battle worn from the long fight; rends, gashes, and nicks caused from their slashing swords. Also, my warrior's face has a scar over one eye and it would be perfect for the wound to be fresh during his epic battle to become a God Amongst Mere Mortals by defeating the god of war.

pics of my war.
Feel free to take liberties with placement of the fight or what scene during the fight you may wish to portray. Anything that may come to your imagination is sure to be much more visually striking than anything i may be able to think up. =) I also posted pics of two sets of gloves. I normaly wear chaos gloves but many consider them gaudy; and I must admit, they sort of are. I figured the gladiator gloves would be much better suited for the portrayal of a gritty, bloody battle than shiny chaos gloves. Also feel free to have him weilding any shield and sword that you see fit. The Fellblade and Torment shield are only what i normaly equip.
I hope that such a scene will have sparked your intrests. It seemed to me that the most ultimate acheivement one could make in the world of Guild Wars would be to slay the God of War; but alas, it is only possible in my imagination. It has been quite fun and exciting making this post and thinking about the way my warrior would look slaying Balthazar. For that I thank you because Guild Wars is starting to lack the excitement it once held.
Cheers! I look forward to seeing the other commisions that you have already dedicated yourself towards making! =D

Well done!
There's a very real feeling of completeness in your work, as if not a single area of your canvas feels neglected or miscellaneous.
If I could give one piece of constructive criticism, however, it seems the perspective is somewhat confusing.
The background and its angle would suggest that we're viewing the scene from high up above, and the scaling of the terrain immediately below her feet, as well as the golden wing motif would support this.
However, the way her shoulders and chest are squared with the viewer would then suggest she's looking directly to the right, which is then rendered impossible when we're considering a the second subject, which is a seige wurm bound to the earth and scaled down to show distance. Its angle is also suggestive of a top-down 3/4 angle the way we can peer into its open maw.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that it feels like the angle of the paragon herself should be about 25-30 degrees away from the viewer and to the right
...either that or I'm completely confused and our subject isn't doing battle with the wurm at all, in which case I'm mistaken >_>

GWVM Group Comission
Ok! Got my pics. I think you'll like this request, a nice lil challenge.
k, I'll post the pics,a short bit about them, and the details for the request:
Chole The Archangel:
http://i44.tinypic.com/2eukk7m.jpg
http://i43.tinypic.com/mblw5u.jpg
http://i43.tinypic.com/25ugt2p.jpg
http://i40.tinypic.com/2co31up.jpg
NOTE:I kept the mask on Chole because she always wears it.So remember to keep it on in the comission. Apart from that it should be fairly straight forward, she's wearing Leather Armor.
Kazera Wolfbane:
http://i39.tinypic.com/2hqyqo0.jpg
http://i44.tinypic.com/35jvvi0.jpg
http://i40.tinypic.com/29c28wp.jpg
http://i40.tinypic.com/2zgz2ox.jpg
NOTE:Kaz is the same as Chole mask-wise, but it's ok if you don't add the cape on.She's wearing Obsidian Armor with Destroyer gauntlets
Roc Dis Joint:
http://i40.tinypic.com/2hiaurm.jpg
http://i41.tinypic.com/23szn2b.jpg
http://i41.tinypic.com/fuyg6w.jpg
http://i42.tinypic.com/2a1cpc.jpg
BIG NOTE: If you look at the last pic,you can see some green spots or something around Roc's hands, A.K.A-The Proph Collectors Edition Ranger thing. Make sure you add that, it's one of Roc's distinctive auras. He's wearing Deldrimor Armor with Elite Druid Gloves and Tinted Spectacles.
Shorty Got Spellz:
http://i39.tinypic.com/r2wcwi.jpg
http://i39.tinypic.com/14489om.jpg\
http://i44.tinypic.com/2ldxcsp.jpg
http://i41.tinypic.com/eredzp.jpg\
There isn't any special thing to note about Shorty, she's wearing Deldrimor Armor.
Tender Wolf:
http://i40.tinypic.com/10mqy44.jpg
http://i42.tinypic.com/2uigr61.jpg
http://i43.tinypic.com/qozh45.jpg
http://i42.tinypic.com/2prgqjm.jpg
Nothing to note about Tender either, she's wearing Elite Fur-Lined armor with a Santa Hat.
Queen Kitiara:
http://i42.tinypic.com/2m7t0ti.jpg
http://i44.tinypic.com/20jgvph.jpg
http://i42.tinypic.com/wre2wz.jpg
NOTE:I couldn't get a pose for Kiti. She's wearing Elite Gladiator Armor with Elite Charr Lined Boots, she NEVER wears a helmet, so note that.
Tidus Yumemiru:
http://i39.tinypic.com/20q0uqb.jpg
http://i41.tinypic.com/x4kq4j.jpg
NOTE: In the situation was in at this time, I couldn't get any more good pics of Tidus, sorry =]. He's wearing Vabbian armor with Dragon Gauntlets.
And that's it, I'd be really grateful if you could do this for us, I noticed on Morag's comission you put her paragon's name at the bottom of the thing, and ''Guild Wars Nightfall'' at the top, I don't mind if you put all our names at the bottom, but at the top put something like ''Guild Wars Video Makers'', and I don't want them fighting or anything, apart from that it's ok,I don't mind what background you use, just as long as it's somewhere relaxing like Isle Of Meditation,thanks!
EDIT: I forgot the lil description bits,so I'll add them here:
Chole The Archangel: She's the cheeky one, and likes to have attitude, her biggest wish is to beat Kazera and become the best ranger in TEN [her guild].
Kazera Wolfbane: The leader of TEN,the guild Chole and Tender are in. She's very strong and is just as cheeky as Chole.
Roc Dis Joint: Referred by many as ''The best GWVM''. His looks tend to charm the ladies and he has his own distinctive sense of attitude. But if you get to know him more he's really nice and has a soft spot for being called ''cute''. Roc is often the reason most of his friends are laughing when they are all hanging out together.
Shorty Got Spellz: The most mischevious person in the group, Shorty and Chole often have little fights over which one is more cheekier than the other, but they are great friends despite this.She hates being teased about because of her size.
Tender Wolf: Another member of TEN, Tender and Chole often work together for whatever reasons [best friends]. She tends to make everyone laugh a lot and is not often bored.
Queen Kitiara: Veyr popular among GWVMs and GWVM fans alike, Kiti likes to have a good laugh and hang out with her friends, there is no doubt that there are sparks between her and Tidus.
Tidus Yumemiru: Another popular GWVM, Tidus was the one that introduced Kiti to GWVM and since then there have been sparks between them, he often like to hang out with people and just chill.

Hi EmJey! Okay this picture is actually in response to kylanf's post, the one right above this one. If you do her requested commission, please use this picture as reference for my character instead:
That's my char in elite druid armor dyed black with spectacles. I wear that 98% of the time and it looks better than my furry armor with a Santa hat. lol I only wore it for the Wintersday event. Thanks!
P.S. Also, I noticed that you took an interest in Eryn Shadowbane's character and said something about drawing characters that appeal to you with stories. I thought I'd share mine should you decide to draw my char separate.
Tender Wolf was born in Wizard's Folly before the Searing hit. Her parents prayed to the gods for 10 years before they were blessed with Tender. Her real name is Keiondra Wolfsong, but after the Searing and the move to Kryta (and losing her friend Rurik), she decided to continue her adventures and stop evil. She became known as Tender Wolf so that should an enemy target her, the ones she loved and cared about (her parents at the time) would be spared because the enemies would not know her true identity, and therefore could not threaten her with the harm of her family and friends. She chose this particular "battle name" because she is fiercely loyal to wolves and believes they are tender and loving.
Six years after the Searing, Tender Wolf was reunited with her childhood best friend, Gwen. Tender Wolf managed to stop evil on three continents and proudly wears the title of People Know Me. She is also a very strong believer in animal rights. Though she can charm the rainbow phoenix, she won't do it because, though she loves all animals, she is one with the wolf. She has a pet white wolf, Howl, who travels with her everywhere and is very loyal to her. Tender Wolf's Hall of Monuments portrays several heroes in her fellowship section but the ones always on display are those of the elder black widow, black moa, imperial phoenix, animal companion, and Gwen.
Tender Wolf's favorite place to visit is Cantha for its beauty and mysterious past involving Shiro Tagachi.
Tender Wolf was sent forward in time one day to the year 2008 AE where she met her true love, Issac Silverbane. After months of being in 2008 AE in Tyria, she and Isaac both managed to return to this time, where Isaac studied to become an assassin. However, he was killed in combat training before Tender Wolf could reveal that she was expecting their first (and only) child, which is due next month.
She is also proud to finally own a Tormented hornbow.
That's the story of my character. Think I got it all covered. Here are the pics:

Because you requested for stories and I didn't make one, I'm going to redo the request. Using the biography and genealogy I made a while back - and letting you choose the poses.
I would like a group pic if possible. ^^ If you change your mind about fee, tell me the price. Also, my Ritualist and Ranger don't have their planned armor yet, so I'll link you to wiki and cannot meet in game for those.
Anyways:
Necormancer:
Was born back in a time when Dhuum was still the God of Death, Konig was turned into a lich when he asked for power to kill those who were trying to kill him (who they were is now unknown, only Konig knows, as he killed many different groups of people). He was forced in his contract to Dhuum to act as a “living” Envoy for years, until Dhuum fell. But even then, Grenth forced Konig to continue duties, but in a more just matter.
When Abaddon rebelled, Konig made a deal with Grenth. Konig would help defeat Abaddon in exchange for his freedom. The deal was made and upon the victory of the True Gods, Konig’s duties were over. Konig enjoyed his freedom for many years, but soon (to him) became bored with nothing to do. He was witnessed Joko’s turn into becoming a Lich, and saw Thorn turn mad in life – which was partially caused by Joko’s turn into becoming a Lich. Konig now celebrates Thorn’s return with much eagerness, as he enjoys the slaughter that Thorn brings about – as he says, Halloween is a time for him to increase his “Deadite Army.”
Two hundred years ago, Konig sided with Palawa Joko in his war against Elona, but when Joko lost, Konig lost interest and left for Tyria where he met Mage Lord Odran. Lord Odran tricked and trapped Konig, using his energy to power some of the first portals. After the creation of the portals, Odran quickly locked Konig in the catacombs underneath Ascalon, where he was stuck there until 1070 AE. In 1070 AE, Azazel freed him when the Necromancer Order of Ascalon complained about a foul presence in the Catacombs that was, until recently, dormant. Upon freedom, Konig was sent north of the wall with Azazel to put a dent in the Charr’s invading force; here they met Agares Hastur – a very recent prisoner of the Charr. While north of the wall, the Searing occurred, the group only returned to “find bodies for rebuilding his army that was destroyed with Joko” as Konig stated.
Genealogy:
Many people know of Konig’s family and its history, but few know of Konig being a part of that family. Konig changed his last name to “Des Todes” when he was turned into a lich. Konig would have been considered the great-granduncle of King Doric himself.
Uses a Deldrimor Staff and wears Elite Profane dyed dark red
For more of a story, I am starting to write a fan-fiction about my characters (mainly my Necromancer), can be found here.
Assassin:
Biography:
Having amnesia, he does not know his past. The earliest memory he has is waking up in a prison in an unknown, twisted, land. He knows nothing about his family, but was called an “impure” and “Azazel” by his captors and is believed to be mostly human, but with a demonic ancestor – how close this ancestor is, is unknown.
He only escaped with the help of snake-like creatures called Forgotten. He escaped through a portal and was taken to north Ascalon. Running from Charr forces, he was forced south and was taken through the wall with the help of Rurik. He at first studied as a Warrior, but didn’t like that, so he trained under Necromancy, but that didn’t fit him, so he made “his own” profession – which is combines the principles of the Warrior, Necromancer, and Ranger – later found to be extremely close to the Assassin in Cantha, which he later trained under for ease.
In Ascalon, he was ordered to check out an unusually active magic source in the Catacombs, which turned out to be an imprisoned lich named Konig. After realizing Konig was not evil, the two teamed up and was sent north of the wall on a guerrilla mission, where they found the recently imprisoned Agares Hasture II. While north of the wall, the Searing occurred, the group only returned to “find bodies for rebuilding his army that was destroyed with Joko” as Konig stated.
When Nightfall came, “Azazel” found out that the prison that he was kept in was located in the Depths of Madness, within the City of Ar’Challah. He decided to look around to see if he could find something about his past within the Domain of Secrets.
In the Domain of Secrets he found the Apochryphal Fields, which holds the name of all of Abaddon’s followers, Azazel found his own name listed. Confused on this, he then went to the City of Ar’Challah where he found a prisoner named Nergal who knew of Azazel’s past, but Nergal was killed by the Margonites before he could say anything, leaving Azazel at a dead end.
Uses Deldrimor Daggers, has a Black Widow pet (had to get rid of it to tame and level an Imperial Phoenix for the HoM, so I don't have it in game at the moment), and wears Elite Canthan dyed red.
Ritualist:
Biography:
Raised in the Echovald Forest and trained under Master Togo himself. In his lust for knowledge, he studied intensively and started to surpass tests and accelerated faster then the now Headmaster Vhang. In 1069, he was sent to Kryta to act as a mediator to help return trade between Tyria and Cantha. In 1070, he followed Saul and his group into the Charr base and saw the acts of the “Unseen Ones,” later confronting Dorian alone, but deciding to keep his mouth shut because he thought a corrupt government is better then no government.
In 1072, he greeted the Ascalonian refugees when they arrived in Lion’s Arch. From there he joined Konig’s group because he wanted to use Konig to gain more knowledge, and he was interested in Azazel’s past as well.
After Abaddon’s defeat, Xaphan stayed in the Domain of Secrets to learn the knowledge that is in there. At first he helped Azazel look for clues of his past, then he just searched for new magic, new knowledge, anything and everything the domain had to give.
He eventually found a spell of eternal rebirth. This spell can prevent death even on top of the Bloodstones. And this spell has an eternal effect, never ending and impossible to work around. But this spell had a tremendous cost – a sacrifice of equivalence to 100 living creatures. Xaphan cast this spell on himself within the Domain of Fear, using the living land itself as the sacrifice – which turned the domain from being spider-like to a barren wasteland. He learned that the spell also gives all knowledge, experience, and emotions of the sacrifices to the one who the spell affects. Because of this, Xaphan learned of the entity known as Arachnia and felt the torment it felt as Abaddon killed and absorbed its power.
Genealogy:
Born in one of the lesser Kurzick Houses, his family was poor in money but rich in knowledge. Xaphan’s lust for knowledge is not unique to himself, but exists in his entire family line. Because of this, although they have not been rich since the days of the first Ritualist profession, they have always been the most knowledgeable. The Sariel House is constantly spending their fortune on more books and more ways to fulfill their unending lust. Knowledge is their most prized procession, even more prized then their own lives, and knowledge is always taught from parents to child from the earliest learning age, which for this family has become quite young.
All of Cantha, especially the Kurzicks, know that if you want an informant or just information, you would be a fool not to seek out the Sariels.
Armor: Obsidian Armor Weapon: Tengu Staff. -perhaps a book as well-
Ranger:
Biography:
Agares Hastur II comes from a family of Rangers that can be linked all the way back to the Exodus. The Hastur family has always been, and will probably always will, be the best archers in Tyria.
While on a mission to scout the Charr movements in 1070, he and his team was captured and all except him were sacrificed to the Charr gods, the Titans. He was rescued the day before his execution by Konig and Azazel.
His father was killed by Vatlaaw Doomtooth just before the Searing, and the Searing caused his mother to go insane. His sister, Alila, stayed in Ascalon as part of the Ascalon Army as a Monk. Alila was killed by the Charr when the Titans were released.
In late 1074 AE, Agares met Abby Mueller, a Tyrian Kurzick – her family left for Cantha to escape the Guild Wars and settled with the Kurzicks. In early 1075 AE, they had a son which by Agares’ tradition was named Agares Hastur III.
Genealogy:
Agares Hastur II comes from a family of Rangers. His family has existed in Ascalon since it was settled, before that his family lived in Orr. His family has a tradition of naming the first born son “Agares” and to keep the last name of “Hastur.” All children in the family usually learn the ways of the Ranger, sometimes this can change though. Such as with Agares Hastur II’s sister, Alila Hastur, who became a Monk in Ascalon’s Army. Even back in Orr, the family name was “Hastur” and all the first bone males were named Agares.
This tradition is only broken when there are no male children, which does happen every now and then, such as with Agares’ grandmother, a child of one. But even with this break in the tradition, the Hastur family keeps its last name and tradition of being Rangers.
Armor: Ancient Armor. Pet: Dune Lizard. Bow: Rotwing Recurve Bow.
Background: Something like this if possible:
I just want the opened Door of Komali in the background, possible the Bloodstone as well. Or at the very least a Ring of Fire environment feel. Again, group picture if possible.
If you need to contact me in-game for details, I can get on.
