Thanks

As you can see all characters done in black and white have a unique set of armor. The reason I didn't want to draw them in GW armor sets is, well i like to design my own characters and since this is just a show off image, I think I can get away with it

And some non Guild Wars related images

If by any chance, some of you don’t want their image to be shown on this thread, please, send me e- mail and I will remove the image (if it’s already been posted) or I won’t post it if it’s in WIP phase.

Rules of ordering an image:

First of all, you have to contact me via e–mail [ [email protected] ] with the subject GW ART ORDER. Any topics named otherwise will be automatically dismissed (due to the security reasons).
An e-mail should contain following:

1 . Type of Image you want to be done for you.
a) Black and White
b) Color (not available at the moment)

c) ADDED: Group pictures **


* NOTE: You will never receive image less than 2000x2000 pixels, and a few MB in size.
**NOTE: You can order a group image of your characterS! 2, 3, or even 10 of them or more can be put on one big piece of drawing board interacting with each other and having fun. The amount and description is up to you. This order will be done only in B&W and will be limited to only three (3) orders per Order Period.

2. References.
When sending an e – mail please follow these instructions correctly or the deal will not be made.
These instructions include:
You have to send a print screened image of a character you would like to be drawn (or multiple characters, or just send a detailed description, such as type of armor, or armors, weapon, skin etc.) If you could also, explain the mood, pose, and overall feeling of an image, it would be nice. That way we're gonna be sure, that you'll like the image. Or if you don’t want any of specific GW armors or items, pose, additions etc. please make sure you that u mention that in the order.

After this you will receive the last e-mail which will contain the price of the picture as well as one of the ign (in game names) you can contact to check the progress of your painting. That ign will be connection between client and me, when it comes to the payment.


Payment Method and Prices:
The price of an image varies (depending on level of details the complicity and the time that will be needed for an image to be finished). Usually the price range goes between:
Black and White 25, 000 -40, 000 gold coins (25k-40k)
Color 30, 000 – 60, 000 gold coins (30k-60k)
Group Image 70,000 - 100, 000 gold coins (70k-100k)

When the image is done (usually between 2-7 days) you will be sent a preview of a final image (a small sized image with low compression with watermark on). If you like the preview and are satisfied with the final product, you will be asked to contact the ign you’ve been given via e-mail. Then you will engage in trade (where you will give a certain amount of gold), and when the trading is over a full sized image without any protections (such as watermarks or censured parts) will be sent to you.

Thank you for your time, and for reading this thread

Hi there.
I’ve decided to make a set of five collectable illustrations (I will refer to them as Cards in future text). The each and one of them can be bought and their use is to reduce the prices of images you order and something more…

How and why should you get them, and what they exactly do?

Well, I’ve noticed that there are people who wanted me to draw something for them in the second Order wave, and have told me that they might be interested in another image when the next Order period starts. Also, there are people who have or want to order more than one image, but they say they will wait until they collect more money, because my images are expensive. There are those who just can’t help themselves and want an image in every Order period. So, all of you who have found yourself in these lines, these cards are for you.
The purpose of these cards is to reduce the final cost of a painting. Each card will give you 2% discount (2cards 4%, 3=6%, 4=8%, 5=10%) also when you collect all five of them, you will get one free order. With that free order you can eather order image for yourself for free, or give it to a friend so he/she can order an image with 50% discount.
Once the free order is used, its done…no more
Also, if you are member of [OGAWC] art club, you will get additional 10% discount if you have all 5 collectable cards.

How can I get them, and what’s the price?

You can get them via e-mail or download them from this thread once they are uploaded. You will receive a signed high resolution of a card.
They are...free

Who are those characters on the Cards?

Well, as for who to draw, I first thought of some of main characters from the game. However since there’s a free Redesigning characters event I’m doing, I wanted to go with some of real peoples characters. At these cards you will find five (5) people I very much like or hate to play with! People I am or have been in contact with, and people that have made my in game life pleasant (or more likely…hell ).
As for all of the characters, I will write something little about them, so you can have an idea how cool, or uncool they are

Wow, cheap and very good artwork. I'm sure you'll quickly become popular on these boards. I wish I could commission you, but all my money is dedicated to a contest I'm holding (*coughcough*feelfreetocheckitout*coughcough*)

Wauu, so much orders in a 24hours period. I thought that it will be much much less than this... Well, I guess I was wrong

Well due to the high interest and a lots of orders I'll have to colse order period for 2 weeks, so I can manage to complete all orders I've got up till now. So from now on in my first post I'll write a date when Orders are closed and a date when I'll open a new set of orders.

Please, try to follow the dates, because I don't know if I'm going to be able to do more artwork when the order date expires.

"Order Closed" [ date ] - This means that at a certain date will be set as a final date untill you can submit your e-mail orders. All e-mails that arive between Closed Order date and New Order date, will NOT be taken in considiration.

"New Order Date" [date] - This means that at a certain date will be set as a first day for new set of orders, and it will last untill a new Closed Order date is set. At this time you can send e-mail orders for your images.

I think that an interval between Closed and New Orders will be around 10-15 days.


Thanx

Please read the first post, afrer * sign.
Thanx

@ TotalyColl11
sweet post dude And the answer to your question is this:
I dont think that charging 150k and more for an image is a fair price. First of all, those guys who are doing an image are well aware that they can do a lot of images weekly, because, let's face it, they are good at drawing, otherwise they wouldn't do it.
So lets say that one of those guys can do 2-3 Black and White images per day, then he/she spent one more day coloring it and putting final touches. At the end of a week one can do around 5-6 images. Lets say 5 images times avrage price 100k and we get 500k for a 5-6 day period.
That is a little unfair price, but if people want to pay that much for an image, than its fine by me...
As far as I'm concerned, I know how much I'm selling my work in real life, and how much time i need to complete the paintings, so, therefore I think that up to 60k for a colored image is very fair price.

Oh and thank you all for very nice comments...
