I just got back my Ranger, and my partner's ranger Christophew Snow.

It's amazing, I had told him Bufalo Wing and I sometimes have issues, he can be a little butt head... and well, just check what he's eating

Amazing detail!! Orson has a toe ring and an EAR RING with his name!!! haha :P

and yes, he made Orson bigger on purpose. I absolutely LOVE both pictures, awesome job!!! Thanks again!!!

I'm still trying to figure out how to upload on image shack the high resolution piece. Working on it.

http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...?g2_itemId=649 - this is the drawing I got from Babaroga. Which I'm very very very happy with.

Ok, I've added the list of all of you guys who have entered second Order Period. Some of you have been "banished" from the list and I have explained my reasons in e mails. There are things I require from you, and they are not that complex to complete, and if you can't do that, I'm sorry, but we can't make any kind of a deal.

So all of smart, and normal people, dont worry you are in!

The List

Order period number two:
1 – Lisa O
2 – Tommorrow
3 – Ramsis
4 – Deviant
5 – Farhan
6 – Delivio
7 – Joe Dimaggio
8 – Remi
9 – Shan

I will do images in the order listed above. The progress of the Second "run" you can watch on first post in this thread.
Cheers and thank you for giving me a chance to do a second order "run"

Yay, I'm a smart normal person! *frantically dances around*

Your last wave of orders resulted in tons of nice artwork, so I'm looking forward to the next ones. Especially my picture

By the way, 2 of the preview links in the original topic are dead:
http://www.abimc.com/gw/joshMprev.jpg
http://www.abimc.com/gw/maxxyne1prev.jpg
Both of those just give me 404.

If you finished some artwork but your client refused to pay, perhaps you could display a preview of that and offer a full version to anyone who's willing to pay for it?

Babaroga · May 02, 2007, 03:53 PM // 15:53

Fixed corrupted links...Thanx for heads up!

And I would sell them, but the thing is... I deleted them. And it's not just not paying. Some people are just to stubborn and hard to work with, and since they don't know me and I don't know them, I can refuse their commisions wheter they like it or not.
Why would I stres with some jerks for a game money, when I meet people like them every second of my life in RL.
One crazy world, is just enough (and too much) for me

Well, I hope you don't meet any more people like that. Perhaps you could consider to take the money in advance before drawing to make sure you only deal with trustworthy people.

Foxeye · May 02, 2007, 06:51 PM // 18:51

What sectus said! Or maybe a small "retainer fee". It's what I used to do when I did commissions for greenbacks. Once an artist has a reputation, there are people who are more than willing/understanding.

Messy · May 02, 2007, 10:50 PM // 22:50

I agree with Sectus and Foxeye. I am not an artist, but I realize it takes TIME to do these pieces of work. I find it outrageous that anybody would give, any of the regular artists that post here, a hard time.

It's so simple:
- if you don't like the rules the artist has, DONT request a commission.
- if you think it's too expensive, DONT request a commission.
- if you are not crazy about their style, DONT request a commission.

but if you do make a request, and the artist take the time to draw for you, keep your part of the deal!!! :m

@Babaroga : I think part of the problem here is that people are making requests by email, and not here. If you look around these threads, most of the posters are sort of regulars. I can't imagine any of them pulling off a stunt on you. Maybe if people have to request here followed by an email, they would be a little bit more careful about changing their minds, and giving you a hard time, AFTER you have done all the work.

Also, giving a deposit is something I would not have a problem with, specially with artists that have obviously delivered and are reliable, LIKE YOU!!!

I am still in love with the 2 amazing pieces you made for me, and I am thrilled to be FIRST on line for the second wave.

I'm so looking forward to mine!

Ok, heres (FINALY) the second voting Winner -> Master Togo :0

www.abimc.com/gw/MasterTogo.JPG

Im realy glad he won, 'couse he needed some lift of baaaadly

I wanted to stay on his clasical look (same as with Rurik) but also I wanted to give him some a little more cooler armor, and thus to create also a different overall feel of him. original design is kind of poor in my oppinion. i've never felt with that guy. And if you compare his armor with Player's Ritualist's armor, he looked like some Elementalist instead. So i wanted to take a basic design of his cloths and to push them a little forward with details, which I think (and hope) can put him in Ritualist group.
Anyhow, heres the link, and I realy hope you guys will like him.

Sectus · May 04, 2007, 07:42 PM // 19:42

Hehe, awesome. He definitely looks a lot better than this ingame counterpart. I like the pose and the expression you gave him, makes him look like a crazy mad old man instead of the overly friendly dull old man he is ingame. Would have been fun to see Toko ingame with your re-design and with an appropriate personality tweak (and definitely voice actor change...).

Morag D · May 04, 2007, 08:23 PM // 20:23

hehe, cool design! he strongly reminds me of Xerxes, that pose and everything^^ but then, the Xerxes of 300 must have been ritualist, anyway xD

TotalyCool11 · May 05, 2007, 01:47 AM // 01:47

Damn man....
You know what, you are probably, no make that you ARE my favorite artist on this forum!
I just love him, pose and expression and armor! coooool!
I have one question: Some of the artists on this forum have said that they use some of the Software Programs for posing and character cration... So I was wondering, which program do u use?

ravensong · May 05, 2007, 08:50 AM // 08:50

Great drawing Babaroga ,as always

@TotalyCool11: Using programs for posing is bad....and its wrong....its badong!
Just kidding,...I have nothing against it but it doesn`t help you at all to improve! I dont use any...hmm...

Babaroga · May 06, 2007, 03:18 PM // 15:18

The Jokers

Ace of Spades

Heart Reaver
www.abimc.com/gw/heartreaver.jpg

Well I wanted to start with my character so here's a few details about him

A necromancer, cruel, vicious, sceptic, sarcastic, irogant, with no sense of humor. He hates life, but even more hates death. He's always ready to push those who he finds weaker and not worthy as him (wich is basicly everyone), he will exploit everyone and everything if he sees an opportunity to gain profit. He's extremly powerfull and gifted necromancer, but as such he is also not accepted most of the time by others, because many fear that in the moment of madness or if he sees a better oportunity, he will turn against them.
His real name is Demian Artehgno.
Unfortunate thing in life that hit him, made his mind, very fragile, and later on very cruel and dark place for thoughts to linger on.
It is said that when he killed his first human opponent in Ascalon Arenas, Demian felt such surrow that he become opssesed with it and eventualy it draw him to madness.
He has no real friend in life. Mostly he pushes people away from him, and realy few feel confortable in his presence. Maybe the only, if you can call him, friend is a great Mesmer, known as Inside U. But Reaver respect this mesmer only because he fears his ability to dominate minds and twists illusions. Reaver is well awear of his own dementia and schizophrenia, and he knows that his mind is the weakest link and that someone strong in dominating others minds, can be the end of him. So fear made him respect this so called "friend".
It is rumored that Reaver once was in love. In love with noone else than Althea, a fiance to the Prince od Ascalon, Rurik.
However, his love was not returned, and thus he become enraged and full of hate and anger. The rumor has it that on the years of Charr invasion, one night Reaver came to Althea as a request from Prince to take her to safety. But his plan was to assasinate Althea for not giving him the love he gave her.
If that is true or nor is not confirmed, but the Dwarves of Ironmines Of Moladune, swear that Reaver is responsible for Prince Ruriks death. They say that he sold informations about the route and the company of Rurik's to the Stone SUmmit Dwarves, and that he ensured them that he will travel with Rurik, so he can direct him right to the trap.
If this is so, no one knows, or if they do know, they are afraid to come out and tell, because, everyone knows how he got his new name, and thay do not want to be on the menu!
