Hello everyone

I want to start doing some commissions =)

Not sure about prices yet..

Thinking of 10-50k for smaller pieces and 100k+ for larger pieces.. Depending on level of detail/time/color.
(Cheap prices, as I mainly do this for practice)

Not been doing GW art lately.. but got some links just to show what kinda style I'm working in...:

< IGN

I like your Jean Grey, female GW warrior and Nightcrawler pictures.

I notice you have a comic-style. I like it =). I'm not usually a big fan of glowing eyes, but I like yours, for whatever reason. What follows below is just a template I have written up for artists. Maybe some of it will ring a chord in you and give you a better feel about Reyla. But its really entirely up to you. I notice you don't do any backgrounds in your devArt; is this something you usually avoid doing?

Formally, I'd like to request a 100k+ commission. It would be cool if I could have the commission in multiple levels at the end - the sketch, or b&w, then colored, then background (if you even do a BG), etc.

I can provide recompense at any level of effort you should invest in the piece (well, not like 1000 hours, but I'm sure you would rather quit than do that =P).

Finally, if you end up doing multiple sketches or whatnot, I can pay for multiple pieces as well.

EDIT: I don't have any particular preference to the medium you use.

Character: Reyla Terest
Character type: Stoic. Clipped humor. Enjoys sleeping next to yaks near a fire. Reyla is the staff sergeant who will beat you to within an inch of your life. When it comes down to business, she will take the bullet for those under her wing. Not afraid to play dirty when fighting. Regards fighting not as a glorious endeavor, but a bitter struggle to the end. Enjoys taking care of her armor and weapons during idle times.
Descriptive ‘feel’ text: The northern winds whipped through the steppe, a shrill whistle that carried through the air. The cold winds were a familiar companion to Reyla, who had spent much of her life in the mountains. Her eyes are grey as the rock-strewn landscape before her, stoic and unforgiving as the harsh environment before her. She was only as one must be to thrive in the fierce, barren beauty of these steppes.
Character Type: Lawful Neutral
Age: Looks to be mid-30s to late 40s. Depends on how tired she is.
Height: 5ft 8in.
Eye color: grey + light blue (frosty blue?)
Life Background: Ancestry seems to be half Elonian, half Tyrian. Was raised by her Tyrian grandfather in the border between the Northern Shiverpeaks and Ascalon. Reyla and her grandfather was a shepherd of yaks. Learned to fight by battling various fauna and Stone Summit raids as she grew up. Also trained by her grandfather, who had martial experience from before the Searing. Was orphaned before the Searing, but survived due to their yak herd. The Searing scattered the yak herd, and Reyla decided to take up arms and work as a mercenary for traveling merchant caravans.
Reyla's chose to become a mercenary because it was the most convenient way she could travel + make money. She aids the helpless along the way that need her, but does not actively take sides.
Gods closest to Reyla: Balthazar for strength and courage. Lyssa for cunning and deception.
Characteristics not in Reference Pictures:
Hair is starting to grey.
Muscular for a female. Not as dainty as the GW screenshots.
Slightly more powerful, thicker thighs that allow for bursts of speed underneath armor.
Left-handed. <-- ARMOR SHOULD BE FLIPPED HORIZONTALLY IF NECESSARY (ie Gladiators)
Long scar on the top of her left forearm, short scar on the inside of her upper left arm.
Neck is shorter and not as swan-like.
Breasts are a large B-cup, small C-cup.

SUGGESTED SCENES
Scene 1
At the grave of a friend after battle. Kneeling, bruised, hands cold and blistered. Simple marker commemorating the grave, slight mound.
Sun is dawning. Reyla is disheveled, eyes closed, face points down or face to the sky, eyebrows furrowed, as if in pain.
Feeling: Exhaustion, desolation.
Armorset: Gladiators

Scene 2
Mouth open with teeth showing in battle, screaming lost in the din of those dying and triumphant. Reminiscent of the movie, 300, when Spartans are roaring.
Feeling: Ferocity, features contorted by battlelust.
Armorset: Whichever

Scene 3
Sitting by the fire in a hut or by the campfire outside, exhausted, sleeping by the fire, weapons close by.
Background: Woodlands
Feeling: Exhaustion, peace.
Armorset: Primevil, Silver Eagle

Scene 4
On a horse, looking over a caravan she is supposed to be guarding. Wind blowing in her face, perhaps her cloak as well.
Background: desert/canyon type area.
Feeling: Serenity, calm.
Armorset: Primevil

Scene 5
Enjoying a simple meal of moa, cheese, yak butter and milk and some bread =P.
Background: Outside woodlands, or tavern.
Feeling: Hunger
Armorset: Whichever

Scene 6
Not dressed in her armor, cleaning her weapons and gear at night by candlelight. Gear may be strewn about, oily cloth rags, dirty cloth rags, shapening stones, etc. Dressed in simple tunic undergarments, do NOT oversexualize.
Background: Inside a simple wooden shelter, or a stone hut.
Feeling: Concentration, peace, stability.
Armorset: none

Scene 7
Leaned up against a tree, peering over to an enemy encampment, eyes reflecting the moonlight. A dichotomy of orange-red from fire + white/silver/blue from the moonlight in this picture.
Background: Forest
Feeling: Mystery? Tenseness from being sneaky?
Armorset: Silver Eagle, Luxon

Scene 8
Swimming through the sea with weapons strapped to her back. Sun illuminating columns of water in the sea as the sunlight peeks out from behind the clouds.
Background: Underwater/coral reef type area? Maybe sunken ship.
Feeling: Mystery/wonder
Armorset: Luxon

Scene 9
Rising out of the water under the cover of moonlight. Eyes are glowing from moonlight reflections here as well. Moon also shimmers off the water. Seaweed in Reyla's armor and hair.
Feeling: no idea
Armorset: Luxon

Scene 10
Reyla in a very tense stance, kind of when a dog or a cat raises their hackles and growls/hisses. Female avatar of balthazar taking shape around her, (a la Naruto+fox demon, though I hate to say this..) or taking ghostly form on Reyla's frame.
Feeling: Rage, ethereal.
Armorset: Gladiators

Scene 11
Reyla, drenched from a torrential downpour. Scene captures Reyla's form and face lighting up when lightning strikes off in the distance. Background would be mountainous/rocky with short grasses. Making her way up or down the lower rungs of a mountain. Leading a horse maybe? Cloak optional.
Feeling: Meant to be a transient scene. Maybe brooding.
Armorset: whatever

Scene 12
Reyla shield up, sword readied, much like the way the Spartans look in their shield formation. Stalking across a golden meadow with waist/chest high grass. Sunlight splayed across the meadow, because the sun is setting. Face would be tense, sweaty.
Feeling: Tense/meadow would be beautiful
Armorset: Gladiators/Silver Eagle

YunSooJin · Nov 21, 2009, 03:15 AM // 03:15

mathiastemplar,
I thought I'd mention that I have no intention of receiving a cheaper priced piece or w/e just cause it took you more time than expected. I know artists have lives and would rather pay the price we both agree upon w/o the time factor involved.

Chicken of the Seas · Nov 21, 2009, 04:23 AM // 04:23

I remember you! And your awesome, thick lines.

Hailfall · Nov 21, 2009, 02:00 PM // 14:00
