I was hoping you'd have say something on the matter

So! I'll have it color then

EDIT: Will these images suffice?

Heh. Glad I could help you see the light. Fire is so much more fun when you can make it glow

And these pics are just fine, thanks.

But, what is it with all the pyro ele's out there? Doesn't anyone like earth these days?!? If I make an ele, it's earth for me all the way!

Rainbird · May 08, 2007, 04:36 PM // 16:36

I enjoy earth more than fire, but as you said

That's why I want fire on the picture

As promised yesterday, here's some reference material for my commission:

Ernbrecht von Sturmtrutz (as his full name would be, if it wasn't for the length restriction in GW) is the estranged son of a baron from the far north of the realm. He left home at young age after a bad fight with his father, severing his noble roots, travelling the world ever since as a soldier of fortune on a quest of self-fulfilment. Due to his upbringing, he still has the manners and speech fit of a nobleman, but he has lost the aloof attitude. Now, many years later, after having travelled all the known world and having fought on countless battlefields, he has honed his skills, acquired fame and wealth, made powerful friends, indeed has become a remarkable man, but still hasn't found whatever "fortune" he is looking for. So he keeps on searching. Maybe one day he will finally realize what exactly it is, that he is searching for.

Ernbrecht is a "well-to-do hero type", close to the prototype of the valiant hero, the knight in shiny armor. He will always try to do what is right, always try to make the right moral decision. He is a calm and thoughtful person, lacking any overdrawn sense of honour, like it is found so often with types like his. Although being a warrior by trade, he prays rather to Dwayna than to Balthazar.

I'd like you to go for the "valiant hero" look with the picture. Something like him standing on a elevated position, observing over a battlefield, hair and cape flowing in the wind... you get the idea.

Well, I havent been on these threads in few days (say better week :P

, just coming in to pop some of my work, but I can see that you've got a lot of commissions, and that's great. I like the way you play with colors, pure and clean, they are... Damn I sounded like Yoda! o O
Anyhow, I liked Rocthoh's warr and realy hoping to see other that are on the way.
Now I'll sit back, take my vodka and enjoy...

Cheers

Blackgate · May 08, 2007, 07:21 PM // 19:21

Hey, thanks for stopping by, Baba-yoda!

I'm hoping I get better the more commissions I do. I'm really out of practice... Vodka puts meh to sleep.

I'm all for a good cognac though! Cheers!

Eightyfour-onesevenfive these pics are perfect. I was thinking along similar lines for the pose, the way you kind of emphasized that he was searching for this "fortune" that will bring him a sense of fulfillment. Great. This pic will definitely not have a dark tone to it.

btw...GAAAAAH!!!! These warrior armors are rediculous! I'm going to have to make a seperate "Insane Warrior Armor" rate!

But seriously, those dragon shoulder pads are going to be fun to render out.

Lilith St Cyr · May 08, 2007, 09:36 PM // 21:36

lol people seem the think your style suits their warriors

tommarrow · May 08, 2007, 11:23 PM // 23:23

Blackgate I have a change I would like to make to my commission.
First could you switch me over to color. After seeing Racthoh's picture I have to have a color one too. Second can you put my Rit in FoW armor. I do not want any headgear just the armor. The color of the armor will be your choice.

Blackgate · May 08, 2007, 11:48 PM // 23:48

That's funny Lilith. But I do other stuff well too. Everything isn't always gritty and dark with me!

Hopefully your female warrior will open some eyes, eh?

Thanks for reposting, Tommarrow. Like I said, I love the FoW Rit armor. The change is noted.

The Real Avalon · May 09, 2007, 11:30 AM // 11:30

LOL! your last piece is totally awesome, sent shivers through my spine, that's only happened a few times with artpieces, although, all on this forum

Keep up the pwnage work!

Gem · May 10, 2007, 10:12 AM // 10:12

I would like to talk to you in game, but haven't yet spotted you online. Is there any chance that we might meet sometime?

Ecto-Runner · May 11, 2007, 06:18 PM // 18:18

Could i add a few screens of my mage for B&W or should i wait?

Messy · May 11, 2007, 09:24 PM // 21:24

Omg I just can't make up my mind!!!!

I'm debating between my warrior, my necro or my ritualist. My warrior has that armor you were refering to with the dragon shoulder pads, lol. The thing is, both my warrior and my ritualist have pink armors, and I want the armor to stay pink. The are openly out gay fighters. My necro on the other hand, is darker and scarier.

I don't want you to think I have forgotten about this thread. I haven't.

I think I'm going to post screenies of all 3, and maybe I can get some input from you... and THEN I'll decide which one ( full and color).

Blackgate · May 11, 2007, 09:50 PM // 21:50

Ecto-Runner gee I'm not sure how to handle that. Technically I'm not opening up to reserve spots until my waiting list is down to five. I should probably try to avoid a waiting-list-to-be-on-the-waiting-list...er, um list.

But, if you would like, I will PM you a day before I'm due to re-open to give you a chance to jump in.

Don't Mess WithMe OMG LOL!!! You people and your crazy warrior armurz!

Ha Ha! If you leave it up to me, I'll choose the Rit. Don't have any pretty female character's for meh, eh?

Maybe after I'm done with Lilith's warrior that might change. She's sexy strong!

Or is that strong and sexy?

BTW Lilith, she's almost done. Hopefully I will be finished by Saturday afternoon. No work for me tonight though. It's Friday Night and I can already taste all of the Smithwick's I will be consuming...Cheers!

Ecto-Runner · May 12, 2007, 10:39 AM // 10:39

Okay i can wait if you want you can pm me...

Well I do have a female, my ranger, but she is attached to her pet, a Black Moa , and you don't do pets

He's a cutie though, although he has some serious issues that Babaroga captured very nicely, hehe

I just can't imagine a shot of my ranger without Buffalo

Blackgate · May 14, 2007, 02:13 PM // 14:13

Ack. I had an interesting weekend and I didn't get a chance to work on any art. I was saddled with a bit of homework from my job at the last minute Friday and couldn't get to anything fun. Everything is back in order now though.

..................

Awesome. Since I got the shaft on the weekend, I got to go home a few hours early!

I decided to finish knocking out Lilith's order (cause I just <3 you guys that much...) If she is happy with it, that means I'll be jumping on Ecto Runner's order next.

Ah...warrior break for meh!

Messy · May 15, 2007, 10:36 PM // 22:36

Ok I think I sort of made up my mind....

2 choices, I'll leave it up to you which one:

My Ritualist (screenie posted)

OR

My sexy female Ranger with black moa pet

Buffalo

willing to pay a bit extra for the pet

but we are inseparable

Blackgate · May 16, 2007, 02:55 PM // 14:55

You are persistant, Dont Mess Withme, I'll give you that.

I've been strongly reconsidering removing my no pets and group shot clause...

Hmm...PM me and we can discuss because I'm not sure how I want to handle the pricing on multiple subjects just yet.

We'll see.

Mmm Persistant as in Pain the Ass?

Ok I give it to you, THAT I am

Multiple as in my ranger and my moa? I don't want my rit in the picture, if you decide to give the ranger and pet a shot.

Now she is a fierce fighter, no foe out there intimidates her. She has traveled all throughout Tyria and killed every possible foe, hugged every possible wall, except for that last .3%

Her and Buffalo Wing are always together. Buffalo is overall a great pet, but he has some issues, he is stubborn, independent, has a mind of his own, and on ocassions can drive me to madness, but the mutual love is a very strong force.

I will PM you re price.
