Wink LF test subject! - free art for 1

Heeey, I'm new on guru and hoping to sell some of my art.
Too bad I have a crap of a sample, which has nothing to do with guild wars.
So I want to draw one of you


Sample! (in progress)
http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/c...idiya/wip4.png

So line up, I'll just choose one who makes me inspired the most.

BTW, a form.

EDIT:: I may do more than one, so much inspiration!

1. Sue Aside
2. Nihil Morari
3. Alacrity

EDIT::

Thanks to everyone who applied! I'll do these three so stick around, I'll do a bust, more or less. (By the By: My style varies, so each one will be special)
Sorry to those who didn't get the positions, I'll be around later though after I finish these, I'll get on working on real commishes, and start another thread.

I'm always up for free art!

Name: Tiye Nishi
Class: N/Me
Persona: "Disco Egyptian" - diva, very very flamboyant... we are talking me designing her costumes while watching Mamma Mia flamboyant, but with a very classy Egyptian flair. She's a wealthy Vabbian who dreams of being a merchant prince(ss). She has an Istani dervish friend who she often verbally abuses, but in reality she's kind of hitting on him. She's also a Pahnai Salad addict. Her pose, whatever it is, should show some attitude and pride.
Reference: screenie - http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Essential_Tiye.jpg, my own partially completed drawing - http://qing-guang.deviantart.com/art/Tiye-WIP-116286441
Suggestions: Um, not much, you're the artist... just have fun with it; she's pretty crazy.

Always willing to put up for a free piece.

Name:Konig Des Todes
Class:N/
Persona/Pose:I'm guessing you mean personality and/or preference of how to make it look? Well, for pose, you choose, personality, you can look here for detailed, for less detailed, basically a dark, brooding, person (technically lich) who loves power but is forced into the servitude of Grenth.
Reference:
Face:http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/j...ancer-Face.jpg
Side, Front, Back:http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/j...-Attention.jpg
Weapons: Deldrimor Staff
Suggestions: If you could put a dark red Dread Mask in one of his hands, that would be great. The scar MUST be there. Anything else I leave to you, including pose. If you could put this into the background, that would be very nice.

Name: Sue Aside

Class: Me/A (What I use the most for PVE anyway...)

Persona/Pose:

Here's the shortened version of her story: Sue was basically betrayed by the one she thought was "her love". He wooed her by buying her having a charming personality and buying her expensive dresses, but at the altar exposed himself to being Am Fah. He and his other hidden allies killed her family and other guests (they were Canthan merchants)

The Sue of now is very serious in her path for revenge. She can be very heartless but still has a soft spot for those in need. She's definitely not afraid of bloodshed.

Reference: http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/4024/sueaside.png

Suggestions: Feel free to make her armor a bit more dirty (rips, blood spots, a bit of dirt). And if you haven't already guessed, yes she's a bit inspired by the bride from Kill Bill She can use a katana if you feel like a weapon should be added

I wasn't really going to post here at first, but eventually I decided I'd give it a shot, though I figured my character would be a bit too complicated to reasonably draw.

Name: Xan Bloodshadow
Class: Warrior
Persona: Xan is really just a battle-crazy maniac, rushing into battles and specifically aggroing as many foes as she can handle, for the thrill of the challenge. She is so adamant about destruction she's collected a set of weapons specifically designed against as many monsters as she can possibly find.
Reference: Just PM me in-game via name listed above, you can take your own screenshots so that mine don't muck it up if you wanted certain angles.
Suggestions: Personally I'd prefer a shot from the back, looking over the shoulder kinda picture... with her shield and axe in hand.

Sure, why not, worth a try :P

Name: Farai Savitri
Class: Dervish. D/Mo about 90% of the time.
Persona/Pose: Deadly serious, and emphasis on the deadly. She fights for what she believes to be right, using the power of the gods to strengthen her magic. She worships all five gods but is especially devout to Lyssa. She will rush straight into a fight with little thought but how quickly to kill everything threatening her, believing that the best defense is a strong offense.
Reference: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2.../farairefs.jpg A small reference collage I put together a while ago
Suggestions: She mainly uses an Elegant Scythe and, as I mentioned, is a devout follower of Lyssa. And is definitely not afraid to get into the thick of things. Beyond that, go wild :P

wow, all this talent has appeared on this forum all of a sudden, and after soo long~!

I do hope Alacrity appeals to you ~





I admit those are a bit tl;dr ..
in summary, Alacrity's a tiny, cute-but-ferocious predator ~ give her a mischievous look, like she's acting that she hasn't just ganked your buddy or eaten your minipet:}


.. like most characters, Ala has an assortment of clothes to choose from, if you pick her then I can send better images

Name: Milenka. She never knew her last name before losing her parents in a fire she accidentally caused as a child.
Class: Elementalist
Persona/Pose: She is a very assertive person at times and likes to take the role of leader. At other times, she is gloomy and brooding, but more to-the-point. She doesn't remember her parents, but remembers the inferno from which she escaped, and the moon staring down at her with its light cast across the lake.
Reference: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/garquillex/1.jpg
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/garquillex/2.jpg
Suggestions: Particularly, a scene of her brooding, including the moon and perhaps water. In hand, a small swirling ball of fire, as she looks at her past and her future, trying to find something to keep her going. A suggestion is her back up against a tree with the water and moon in the background. An extra may be her White Tiger, Rin, somewhere. Or however you please.

Sorry if it is too much. I just have a very visual mind and no time to learn art.

Name: Kachiko
Class: Necro
Persona/Pose: Kachiko is tiny but makes up for it with a sharp tongue and a quick wit. She won’t back down from anything but isn’t stupid enough to think she’s immortal. She’s working on that little problem though. She has a taste for the Gothic architecture of the Kurzick but growing up on Shing Jea Island means she has a love for snow and the rugged lands of the island, especially when there are cherry blossoms about.

She follows Grenth but views him more as a potential equal than an outright figure to worship. She has plans to start installing cherry blossoms and Canthan architecture in the Underworld once she reaches Godhood, maybe see about some actual snow to go with that ice.

Reference: Pic 1,Pic 2,Pic 3. Pic 4..
Suggestions: Go wild, I'm more interested in what you do with her than what I would suggest. The only thing I ask is if you give her the tinted specs give her white iris. I’m planning on getting her Obsidian armour so if that would work better for an idea feel free to put her in that. I’m also 90% sure I’m going to dye the vabbi white sooner rather than later so if white Vabbi would work better for you do that.

Lovely art style.

Name: Nihil Morari

Class: Me/E

Persona/Pose:
I'm not personally bothered about pose, I think an artist should be granted the freedom to draw what they wish.~ I er, have already written up a short story about him that I used as an application for a contest. Oh wow it's embarassing. Here goes:

"Born on the outskirts of the Kodash Bazaar from a generation of Mesmer street entertainers, Nihil is no newcomer to self-presentation.

From showing the Vabbian public the techniques of slight of hand to the mysteries of illusion, he and his descendents have been renowned throughout the land of wealth and bounty for their performances, their mystique and charm.

Recently however, Nihil responded to the call of Spearmarshal Kormir and with the co-operative nature of the Sunspears, coupled with his wit and talent as a Mesmer, was able to banish the Nightfall that pervaded his homeland.

As far as Nihil’s concerned however, who dares enter battle without a smart suit and well-polished boots? He wouldn’t. Besides – the ladies love it. "

Haha. Yeesh.

Reference:

These are very old, and I've since made him over.. but I'm not fussed~

1x2x3x4 and just something I drew (but never completed :\)
