Curse

Hello everyone,
Since I saw new GW2 trailer I felt sudden urge for a comeback. And now that I decided to play Guild Wars again I`m starting something similar to comissions.

~

Because last time my commission que went out of control, everyone wanted one and kept PMing me and such, I tought a good idea would be to make an auction, for which I got the idea from Morag D.
Because I dont have the time to make a painting for everyone I tought this was the easiest way.
~

As an example, I did a piece for friend Smilin` Assassin done traditionaly in combination of watercolors and rapidograph:

~
Also you will get a picture of the drawing, before the colors were added.
~> example <~

This could be YOUR character!

I will do one illustration every one or two weeks. A new auctions will start on tuesdays at 06:00 pm, and the bidding will last until next friday at 06:00 pm.
Highest bidder wins.
A painting will be finished somewhere inbetween friday and tuesday.

Since it takes some time to make these, and are tricky to do (there is no undo button

) I think the starting bid is reasonable.
~o~

Auctions done so far:

1. YooSooJin
2. Morag D

PS. Dont forget to post a nice screenshot of your character.

Looks like with everyone using auction style, I'll never be able to get a commission again. =P Oh well, QQ. Gotta save up for GW2! (Hurrah that rhymed)

wow, just wow .. am so stunned ..

your past art was distinguished by its edginess and your skills have grown since

I totally did not expect colours, these are the first I've seen from you~!

You included so many features, her battered armour (Monument at that~! hehe looks like you can handle Warrior armours no sweat), all those little scratches, the faint structures in the mists, and how her blades are like an extension of her .. and you've even drawn her from slightly above, to take into account Ala's shortassedness:}
thankyou so much, you did far more than I expected~!

oh, and yes I think an auction is the best way, important to balance art-time and game-time, otherwise you'd be drawing for us all week~!

Morag D · Aug 25, 2009, 09:14 PM // 21:14

wohoooo Ravensong is back! I was just looking at the picture you did of Eryn back in the old time this morning and wondered what you were up to

love the new colours, looking great. I might have found a way to re-invest my sudden wealth

Duranin · Aug 25, 2009, 10:17 PM // 22:17

Auction?

Judging by how high the bids on Morag's art went, can't afford. ):

Really love your art though, good luck!

Daisuko · Aug 25, 2009, 10:56 PM // 22:56

Do you only do commish with the watercolor too? I'd think leaving that part out would make it faster/easier/cheaper :P I prefer how it looks all black'n white and such anyway

EDIT : What I mean is, I'd prefer if I could have a commish for a pencil drawing only

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

I might do commissons after the auctions (if the auctions loose interest), but only quick pencil or black marker drawings since my tablet is not working anymore! :P

The reason I decided to limit the auction to only watercolor paintings is that I invest alot of time and patience into a single painting, so I cant really afford to do many of them because of my busy schedule.

Dont worry, i will not bid high at all on this.. i might consider asking (bribing) ravensong for a commission instead.

Welcome back yo. Good to see you still kicking around the art scene. =)

Alas my only bid/bribe that I could offer is not being banned. =P and yeah thats a joke.

Morag D · Aug 26, 2009, 02:10 PM // 14:10

All right, here we go, I'll make it 120k
