To make sure I don't blind people with the sheer awesomeness of this version, I'll only put up a link:
I AM SO DONE.

LMAO. That. is. EPIC.
(sorry for the slow reply >.> thread dropped off the front of Nolani for some reason)

...okay, I can't resist it anymore. I have enough saved up to afford a goldsink, so here it is. I understand you're still really full up with commissions right now, so as long as you get to it sometime in the not-too-far-away future, then it's fine with me.

-------------------------------------
OH NOES A REQUEST

Code:

Basic Format: CG Painting
Size: Desktop Size (The new monitor I'm getting soon will be a wide 1920x1080, 
so could you pull it into a widescreen size? I'll tip for the trouble.)
Price: 35e + items (will edit this post with items later)

Now as for the character, it would definitely be my Ranger Gint Stormrage.
I'm thinking for the background somewhere in EotN, such as the border between Olafstead and Verdant Cascades, where snow meets grass.

Glint isn't a fighter. Your battle scenes are awesome but if you could draw her in a somewhat more contemplative mood that would be interesting. I'm thinking perhaps Glint standing on a snowy outcrop ledge with caves and greenery in the background. Think wilderness survival or just gazing out over the land :] If you could draw a multitude (well, more like 5 or so) of black and white moa chicks at her feet, that would be absolutely adorable + + I love moa chicks. If you think the cuteness would spoil the atmosphere then... as weird as it is... could you draw Surinya? My ghost cat from WoW. She's semitransparent, and likes to stretch o_o

Glint References

* Glint has green eyes. The red segments on her pants should be silver/grey and the jade part should be less scaly - try to make it look like a matching set instead of a random combo if possible. Mask on mask off doesn't matter.
* Please include the bow if possible!

Surinya

Background References

Concepts (don't take it literally, it's just an idea from someone who's bad at planning out landscapes.)

<3 hey! My Ranger's is practically a homage to the Hunter I played back in the day. I used to have another Ranger named Araiia Loresong (as my Guru username says, all my original characters were named Araiia ____song) but I created Glint after I was getting ready to quit WoW and return to GW. There's no love lost between me and the game, but I really did love my pets.

Please let me know if you want WiPs or just the finished product.

I'd recommend anyone to ask for WiP's, especially from you ~
whilst receiving awesome art is swell,
it is far more meaningful to appreciate the progress to reach there .. the real meat of the art is in the works, the journey, and I certainly enjoy progressions as much as the completed piece.
Your own WiP's have been such a tease ~

The rare artist who involves the client with the creation is a treasure to commish, but it must be timeconsuming, exchanging ideas back&forth ..

and some peeps just like surprises ~

BlueXIV · Jul 26, 2009, 01:45 AM // 01:45

WiP:

Felt like adding a gigantic flesh golem in there. Didn't bother looking up what it looks like, so it might not actually be a flesh golem

Edit:
Btw, someone PMed me in game asking me whether I would be lowering my price on commissions since CG Desktops are too expensive for an average player. My answer to him and to any further questions about my price is that I wont be lowering my price any time soon. I can take up to around 12+ hours on a commission of the typical size. This means in terms of gold/hour, it's something like 10k/hour.

I believe I could farm twice as fast in game just running a feather farm. Of course, I enjoy drawing a lot more than farming feathers, but the reasoning still stands. There are plenty of good artists here on guru that are offering their services for less, and you can probably contact them instead.

Sorry about the mini-rant, but I'm kinda annoyed that I was accused of price gouging.

^flesh golem, YAY! XD
I like your rendition of it, they should be hueg things, monstrous and terrifying! >:3
I still actually think the one in your WIP looks cute, but I think that's just me :P

Chicken of the Seas · Jul 26, 2009, 04:24 AM // 04:24

IMO your prices are fine, I'm actually surprised they aren't higher because of the skill you have. Ahem not trying to sound like i'm trying to encourage you to rise your prices or anything...cus they're fine the way they are now =P

Her commission looks like its coming along awesomely (if that's a word). Kinda funny that lots of people like drawing her with flesh golems, not that I can really blame them because they're really cool looking. She'll be happy for sure =)

Hailfall · Jul 26, 2009, 09:57 AM // 09:57

Oh wow that looks awesome already Blue

I love giant fleshgolem thingies

BlueXIV · Jul 26, 2009, 06:18 PM // 18:18

I didn't quite like the composition on the first wip, so I tried resketching it.

I think it turned out better composition-wise, but... uh... the necro is a bit... small XD.

Yeah okay, back to the drawing board... T_T

(For best results, view while listening to this)

Edit: Yes, that tiny necro in the bottom-right corner is Shala. lololol

Hailfall · Jul 26, 2009, 06:25 PM // 18:25

I lol'ed thats funny xD

i have to say the Golem looks awesome though!

BlueXIV · Jul 26, 2009, 11:43 PM // 23:43

While I was messing around with photoshop, I found something on my hard drive that I did a while ago. Touched it up a bit, and thought someone might like it, so I'll post it here as well.
Basically, my idea of what an Avatar of Abaddon'd derv would look like :\

Little Shenanigan · Jul 27, 2009, 12:36 AM // 00:36

if you wouldn't mind, could you ignore my idea for the commission and do whatever you want? i really like your ideas for the different characters, and i believe i would love it even more if you did.

and i really like the second picture of shala.

thanks

Espadon · Jul 27, 2009, 12:36 AM // 00:36

The Kerrigan claws need to be more strong and brave to be worthy of Abaddon!

Nian · Jul 27, 2009, 05:59 AM // 05:59

Sweeet. I really like the second one you did of Shala's necro. Granted the main character became a bit small but the feeling in it is great. Love it. <3

Please be GW2 designer!

On the pictures of Hailfall, I actually like the first one better, both are very very nice though!

BlueXIV · Jul 28, 2009, 12:19 AM // 00:19

@Shenanigan,
Well, I dunno... that's a PRETTY HARD REQUEST YOU GOT THAR. :P, sure, I'll come up with something when I finish this one.

@Espadon,
Dammit, you're right! I'll have to fix it later. Needs to look more like zergling claws.

@Nian,
I like the second one too, but it wouldn't be much of a character commission :\.

@Ovv,
I think the pose in the 1st one is nice, but it just seems really boring, composition-wise. And I love love love GW concept art. It's probably THE reason I got into drawing :P. I have huge respect for those guys at ncsoft

Anyways, I'll have to update a bit later, kinda busy today. I kinda changed the whole picture, since the flesh golem was too hard to include without dwarfing shala.
