Curse

Well, hello hello!

First things first. Here's a pic I did this weekend of my necro, Armand Blackgate wearing 15k Necrotic Armor and doing what necros do best - using his life's blood to fuel the deadliest of spells. Full and Detail:

Ink and Photoshop When a warrior bleeds you press the attack...when the necro bleeds prepare yourself for the death wave to follow.

I am a huge fan of GW and absolutely love the character design. Problem is, I find my self playing for a few months then quitting for a while every year. Why? Farm fatigue. I just want to enjoy the game. Plus, while I'm farming I always feel like I could be doing something better with my time. I noticed this forum and realized I may have found the solution. Commission art.

You guys love your characters and this game as much as I do. Doing commissions will give me a reason to start drawing a lot again (it's been months since I've felt like drawing).

Here's more of my non-GW art:

Ink and Photoshop

Color pencil, Photoshop

Well, that's a taste of what I like to do. This thread is a test really so don't request anything just yet. A simple Yeah or Nay will suffice. If I see enough interest I will open an official thread that will help you all keep track of my work status. The thread will also detail what I do and what I do not do. My work will be a bit exclusive as I don't have all the time in the world these days...

Talk to you soon...

wow really nice work! the coloring is really nice

(i cant color myself) do you have any GW related art? anyways, your art is awesome, cant wait to see more.

Garreth MacLeod · Apr 29, 2007, 04:59 AM // 04:59

Wow, those are amazing. I'd be interested in several.

Jeff Highwind · Apr 29, 2007, 05:08 AM // 05:08

I like these alot actually, kinda disappointed you arent doing commissions. It's like a mix of the dark comic style meets webcomic dimensions.

Morag D · Apr 29, 2007, 05:52 AM // 05:52

very impressive style... I don't think you'd have problems finding customers here XD

Mistical miss · Apr 29, 2007, 06:22 AM // 06:22

I second what morag said

awesome! Even 50k would get u numerous customers ^^ hence, even 100k, thats what greyfox asked, and he got many requests aswell. These are certainly worth it.

Blackgate · Apr 29, 2007, 06:36 AM // 06:36

I guess I could put it out that I would be charging no less than 100k for each commission. But that is mainly because I don't want to do work for the casual fan. I'm looking for the players that breathe life into their characters. It inspires me to push farther...

Thanks for the interest so far!

Nice style, I would be interested^^

tenshi_strife · Apr 29, 2007, 08:47 AM // 08:47

O.o must save gold.... need pretty pictures *drools* no really i waould also like to know if you do non GW commisions cause i got some chars from all sorts of places *like fan fics, and Rping.... yea im an uber geek* cause i would soooooo pay for those

Blackgate · Apr 29, 2007, 09:04 PM // 21:04

Updated with GW related art.

Hmm, Tenshi. i may be interested in doing some non-GW art at a later date. But probably not right now.

Seems like this will work out, so everyone please be on the lookout for my official thread I will post later this week.

Morag D · Apr 30, 2007, 07:28 AM // 07:28

The Real Avalon · Apr 30, 2007, 09:14 AM // 09:14

That's the right attitude! It pains me to see artists who charge way too little for their precious time and work. Your artwork looks really good, and I love those poses <3.

tommarrow · Apr 30, 2007, 05:07 PM // 17:07

Very nice stuff. I would love a pic done but I will never be able to afford that much.

Unlucky Slayer · Apr 30, 2007, 05:34 PM // 17:34

Yeah I'm in the same boat as tommarrow... Would love to have some of that art but the GW Gods of wealth do not smile upon me.

Otherwise the art is awesome.

Cant wait to see more.

Whoa hadn't checked this forum properly for a while. That's a really cool original style you have there. Love your use of the natural mediums like inks and and the color pencil drawing. That one I would probably like more without the artificial 'photoshop' background. I think it would stand out more by itself. The shading is beautiful.

Great pictures.

Lili Frog · Apr 30, 2007, 07:07 PM // 19:07

Ohh, nice art. I really love your necro

Hey, thanks for the critique. I agree with you, the color pencil one probably would go better without the photoshop. I did that one a few years back when my enthusiasm for glows was still a bit unchecked. If I could find the original PSD file, I probably would have altered it. Simple is definitely sometimes better!

Lynxius · Apr 30, 2007, 10:54 PM // 22:54

Very nice

I love how you portrayed the Necro's saccing abilities with him cutting his wrists, although it looks well (although that makes me think hes an emo necro XD)

I really need to learn how to draw -.-
Meanwhile its stickman and geometric stuff for me
