Default Varesh is not amused...


I think she's just a misunderstood gal, I like her.


Joko, this is a crop of the only part I like...

... and here's the rest of the crap that I didn't like. It was a whacky idea to begin with. It's suppose to be the final battle between Palawa Joko and Turai Ossa, you can flip it upside down and watch Turai go nuts with his axe. I'm also aware that there's probably too much crotch-shot from this perspective...


There you go, some random fan art. I know Joko's right arm looks a bit long, but my care department has been depleted, lol.

OMG! Saying your art is awesome doesn't do it justice. I don't think there's a way to describe your awesomeness.

Ok, since no one else has asked, I will.........are you taking commisions? If so, let me be the first to get in line.

Phenomenal...I've rarely seen such a fascinating "pretty lady" picture, and lemme tell you, I've seen more than my fill (hellooooo cgtalk and the vacant-faced-pretty-lady-with-bird-or-other-doodad-in-her-gracefully-limp-hands). You list guildwars.com as your home page, so I suspect you might be on their staff. Do you have a person art gallery online? My inner art-crow is craving more shinies to behold.

Gods that's gorgeous. Can't take my eyes off of her.

Thanks guys, I think Varesh is teh seksy too, before she got all demonic...

I guess I can do commission, but I'm kinda clueless to how this whole-commission business goes. Can someone fill me in as to how it works? I know some screenshots would help, but this can be a nice practice for me. I also hope I don't have to do too many, because I also have work IRL

Thanks again for the comment guys.

Comissions would be great, and I'm sure you'd get a lot of cash for drawings of that quality.

Diablo, as far as commissions go, this is the basic process:

Artist makes thread.
Artists shows examples of their work.
Artists sets prices [ie, 10k half-body color, 20k full-body color].
Artist makes work/waiting-list.

Commissioner goes OMG GIMME with screenshots of what character they want drawn.
Artist does their work of the character.
Artist posts/emails finished piece to commissioner.
Commissioner meets artist in-game for payment.
Process complete.

Some artists prefer to recieve payment before handing over the piece - often sending the commissioner a watermarked piece to show that it's done. It's up to the artist. Phenomenal work, too - good luck if you start taking commissions, not that you'll need it!

LOL thats a pretty good explanation above.........

BUT I disagree on pricing, that quality and detail of work is worth more....

I suggest you look around some of the threads......... but I would say 50K or more for a piece like that, for starters

Artists also decide how many commissions they will take, and keep a list on the original post, and edit it as they move along. Most allow a waiting list of X people, and as they finish commissions they move people up.

Most of them also work or go to school, or both, and some take a while to finish them, and thats prefectly ok.

I also hope that if you decide on doing commissions, that you maintain the requests that people here already posted (including myself) in the hopes that you would actually do commissions. Thats why we placed FLAGS and ran off to light candles and pray you would say YES

and now I'm adding screenies........

Now this would be my most favorite choice, since its my favorite toon......
but she's attached to her pet (prays I dont get a *I dont do pets* answer )





Buffalo




My second choice.... mmmmmmmm My ranger???
My 3rd choice..... mmmmmmmmmm My Ranger???

your pick?? hehe

no seriously, if pets are like a real issue I'll post other screenies.

I FEEEEEELLLLLL GOOD lalalalalala SO GOOD SO GOOD

I found my eyes btw

One way to set the pricing would be to decide what you'd charge in real $$$ for someone commissioning a piece like that (how many hours, what your time is worth to you, etc), then find out how much in-game currency that would buy you. You may decide to charge less than that, of course, but it would give you a sense of what would feel fair to you.

@ Dont Mess - I wasn't pricing her art, I was giving her examples of how pricing changes depending on what you want.

Since you're thinking about it, let me get my screens up so I can hopefully still be first for the commissions line. Ok, here's pics of my ranger, Christopher Snow Sr and his loyal lynx, Orson. I would like both Orson and my storm bow in the pic, if you can. I will pay extra to include Orson.

If there's still room I'd like a picture of this necro

http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/5456/aurelienfs1.jpg

And the ele on the right

http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/5456/aurelienfs1.jpg

And if they could be in a pose that suggests they are together (sitting together, holding eachother/hugging etc.)

I understand if you'll charge more due to two characters.

Thank you very much, if the request is too much I understand.

Thanks for your time.
