Default Tea likes to draw... and stuff.

After some thought, I figured I would start posting my art here on Guru. I chose to do this because not only will it get me some feedback, but I like getting my work out and seen. I know it's not professional quality or anything, but I'm working towards that. maybe one day I'll be one of the most commissioned artists in the Nolani Academy of Arts, and maybe I won't. Who knows. But I'm here, and so are you, so feel free to check out my work.

Commission Section:

As most of you know, my prices are still a little shaky. I'm aiming for around the 30-50k mark, depending on how much work/how many characters/whatever else may influence my drawings. Since I haven't done enough commissions to have my pricings set (almost) in stone, I'll most likely negotiate a fair price with you.

In line for commissions:
1. Don't Mess WithMe
2. Commander Ryker
3. Moa Bird Cultist


Waiting List:
Jeff Highwind (redo)


Waiting on Payment:

I could do them. Like I said, I'm not very well versed in Guild Wars art yet, but I'm willing to practice.

I don't know anything about pricing or anything... so I'd have to think on that for a while.

Oooh, very nice artwork. The mesmer looks pretty realistic, and I like your cartoony style as well. Lol at the happy faces. XD

Looking forward to seeing your entry for Sectus's contest!

Check out the threads of the other artists here doing commissions and the kind of prices they ask. Generally they're priced by how much time and effort you spend on a piece, and whether it's coloured or not. For example, my own price range goes from 20k-40k (40k for a coloured piece that doesn't have a detailed background).

Alright. If you're willing to take commissions, I'd like one in the style of your mesmer contest entry, with my ele. I'd love it to be in the mood of like a harem girl [possible ref]. Background not necessary. Color preferred. Throw me a bill. <3

Well essentially it's just like drawing but we provide images to make life much easier on you.

And in terms of pricing, how does 30k sound for my idea:
Source Image
I would like you to draw this screencap of Nkah, the founder of the Guild Wars art enthusiast club, and me. Since the image is dull though I would like the Necro chick (Nkah) with a somewhat provocative look while I have a sly or suave look on mine. Background/environment/colors is up to you, and if you need more/better source images I'll pry some out of Nkah

Sound good?

Sure, I'll get to it sometime tonight probably. Do you want it colored? Because if you do, it'll take longer. I'm not friends with coloring things. Lol. And I'll do my best on the facial expressions.

Well, looks like I should start setting up for commissions then. Heh.

Color would be nice, but you don't have to if you are uncomfortable. If you do I will be sure to pay/offer up items for your trouble.

oh and Full Ranger Reference

Perynne- Thanks, I'll be sure to check some others out. I've been doing some lurking, and checking things out lately, but I never got a really good feel for pricings.

Jeff- All right. I'll get on that soon.

Nkah- That will probably take longer than the others, because it took me like... five or six hours to get to that point on the drawing. :/ But I'll do it for you if you still want me to.

That's fine, I'm patient. Just let me know if it'll take longer than, like, a month. <.<

Jeff- No problem.

Nkah- I'll let you know when I start yours. I'm probably going to want to finish Jeff's, and my contest one first. So I may not get to it for like.. a week, but other than that.. I should get it done within a few weeks, I think. If I think I'll take longer, I'll let you know.

I've never drawn under a schedule before, so everyone, please be patient.

Well, I'm out for the night. I got your basic sketch done Jeff, if things go well, I should have it inked and be working on coloring it tomorrow night.

Good night everyone.

Here are some reference-shots of my Rit, Zari Bars:



I'm pretty impressed by your example #3, please go for that style with my image. also I'd like color, too, please. Pose / scenery is up to you, my only request would be to make her look sexy (that triangular piece of cloth in front of her chest (I'm sure fashion-savvy people would have a name for that) is actually semi-see-through; and if you need another set of smileys to post it here, I wouldn't mind (as long as I get a version without smileys )).

Okay, got the ref saved, and I added you to the list.

I'm about halfway done with Jeff's, and after that I have to finish my contest piece(s), and then I'll split my time between Nkah and you, since she's ordering one that will take longer.

Ok, jumping in line here. I like the style on the middle drawing (#2)on your original post.

Here's some of my ranger and his loyal lynx, Orson.

Sorry I wasn't here earlier guys. Some mix ups in the selling forum got be banned for a day. :/ I was a little confused..

Anywho, I'm almost done with Jeff's. And my contest picture is well on it's way as well. So hopefully things will get rolling soon!

Oh, I added you two onto the waiting list.
