100k per character, +250k for backgrounds, +50% for inked
Be as descriptive as possible regarding:
- weapons
- armor
- character attributes
- pose
- art style
- etc
Check out my
deviantart account for examples.
My home computer is mostly non-functional at the moment, thus everything will be hand-drawn.
Note: First customer gets their order at half price, since it will take a bit longer (as I will need to set up my scanner and things).

If this is first then:
I would like mine to be a male:
Muscular xP
He would be resting on the handle of a huge sword, kinda like Cloud's one with a straight blade. He is wearing a robe and whatever armour you feel like drawing. And over half his body is a cloak. Some crazy hairstyle is fine and that's it really xD

I got three requests, almost simultaneously so they'll all be given that deal.
No limit as to the waiting list, but it is exactly that- the longer the list, the longer the wait.
Here is the list as it stands:
- Tal Destra
- Ranger
- Andy

Awh second no fair -pouts-
I would like female, elven face and body, long hair, reading a book and (if you can) casting a spell with the other hand. Style? I like the style from the "two year" picture you had posted. Pose? Well she's reading and casting a spell so I would assume standing :D Armor? Cloth with stomach exposed and a skirt that shows the outer thighs but covers down the legs all the way to the feet in the middle (like a "V").
Kind of examples:

Clothes (top wise, can't find skirt to help you out):

I have something slightly different - a character portrait for my Cybergeneration character. I've already drawn him out, I'd just like to see him neatened up and inked into colour.
Colours requested:
Dark Grey, nearly black, on the darkened half of the mask
Black and brown stripes on the jacket
Dark brown pants, nearly black
Black bowtie
White Undershirt
Black shoes
Black sword scabbard
Black and light brown alternating triangles on the hilt
Red ribbon coming from the end of the hilt
and if you could improve that godawful hair I drew on his head, or my excessively long legs, by all means, be my guest. :)

- Tal Destra: this, more masculine, muscular, with mageseeker

- Andy: muscular male, buster sword, robe w/armor, half-covered by cloak, crazy hair
- MesoinLove: female elf, long hair, reading and casting. Style-'two year', double-split dress bare midriff Ref-book book hair clothes(top)

Correct me if any of this is wrong or I left out an important detail.

I'll get in line for a picture! I'll give you details later.
I also have something slightly different to request. I am currently collecting avatar art on Gaia, and would like a piece from you to display in my showcase if you do not mind.
I would love it to be either colored or lightly shaded. I don't mind if the dragon type thing is on my head, but I would like the cloud under me.
Here are the pieces I've already had done, in case you were looking for examples:
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Of all those examples, the first is my favorite :)
Thanks in advance!!

when i have a target, it seems to go easier. the better the description, the faster and more efficiently the process goes.
Andy:
version 1
I'll pay extra for what I want if need be.
I am looking for a picture composed of three people. Two "support" characters flanking the
third. Kind of one character in the middle standing proud, while one kind of kneels behind him/to the side, and the other kind of
jumping out on his right, think marval super
heroes. The one on the left sort of 'using'
Chains like hes "roping" something, and the one on the right casting an "AMF" The two supporters elvish in appearance, while the one in the middle more masculine and 'proud'
The one in the middle needs to be holding out a "shard" in his hand that flames are sort of spewing from "Robf" and a huge royal shield that hes kind of leaning on. slightly smirking
the main character with the whole plate mail sort of look but with a 2008 CB t-shirt on
This is open to interpretation. Name the price, you're very talented so feel free to kind of just go with the basic scheme
It's basically my toon "The Beasty" with the main robf character and the two support roles.
Thanks
Sorry for the dbl post. If possible in color//ink. Thanks. (lots of glow where applicable (I like colors :D))
At 1:56ish in the following youtube video, you get a decent image of what I'm looking for:
Link 1
At 2:18 in this video, I'd like some sort of similar effect with the flaming eyes:
Link 2
Also, I like the armor style in the second one a little better, if you can find a good look of it (1:44 onward you can see the armor)
Weapon: 2 handed war hammer (head of hammer imbued with fire)
Armor: Seen in video, also:
Image
Attributes: Bald, Iron headband. Large in overall stature.
Pose: Rising from one knee, spell book in hand
Style: Kind of dark, most of the colors red-ish with darker armor.
Background: Transparent, or solid color.

At the moment, Meso's piece is taking my full concentration- I'm not great at females :P

urk. make that 12.
You should charge more ^^
chaosal
February 12 2009 2:57 PM EST
lol- i was just talking to someone about that.
maybe just to prevent the list from overloading too much...
not much more- 250k/char +500k/bg still seems quite reasonable.

Or you could make it a limit of 10-15 per post and then close to more offers until you are ready to do more. I am willing to pay don't get me wrong ;) I want meh picture O_O
Don't hurry yourself too much, don't want speed at the cost of quality
chaosal
February 12 2009 4:22 PM EST
I wasn't intending to raise the rates for those who are already on the list; that feels like changing the agreement. I meant for new orders.
Fortunately, I'm not having to rush. I suppose that's the good thing about open-ended projects :)
chaosal

I should probably make a new thread with the new prices...

I have discovered a hair preference! I don't know if you can make it. But this hair would be awesome.

This is turning out great, well beyond my expectations! :D Thanks so much!
Wow, I really like OB's designs. Looking sharp there, Perron! ^_~
I think the striped suit in v.2 gives the mask on the face better contrast. :)
chaosal
February 14 2009 5:12 PM EST
I suppose, I acknowledge my style has flaws :)
Particularly females, and pencil seems to be my main medium- anything else and the quality drops. Fortunately inking isn't too far off.

inked with standard ballpoint 0.7
That's gorgeous!! :o
The hairstyle is meh to me, but it seems to be what OB wants, so I think you made him a very happy CGen player!! I can't wait to see mine!! /excitement~!!
chaosal
February 16 2009 8:11 PM EST
i tried to approximate the hair, but it's definitely not the style i'm used to drawing...
and btw you are aware i'm not good at females? lol
i will give it my best :)
That's ok. :) That's why I sent you examples so you had something to use as a base ^_^
