Exceptional request from a devastated guild

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

I am terribly sorry for your loss, and as many others before me have said; I hope the feature to commemorate loved ones/leaders will be added as well.

Many comments have already outlined how this feature could be used at each guild’s own discretion, so it does not affect other players or the open world map in any way. I don’t see anything wrong with including a feature that allows people to do this.

A solution to the statue problem someone mentioned earlier: what about instead including non-player specific statues/structures? This is generic enough that it can be repurposed in each guild hall accordingly without a lot of extra work. Just a thought. I’m having a hard time expressing what I’m thinking of… maybe I will concept it up and post it here if that is acceptable?

Here’s the ele I was talking about, I sent you a message in regards to the potential art-trade.

No hard feelings if you decide not to do it.

Another speed-paint “for tips” style commission.

There is always a chance I’ll be burned (no tip or low tip) when producing art for tips so the quality varies by a lot depending on how I’m feeling or how inspired I am. Something like this would go under the ‘sketch/speedpaint’ category.

Would you ever consider an art-trade? :>
I would love to have someone with your skill draw my sylvari ele (I’ve never had anyone draw me art, it’s always me drawing for other people, hahah). Let me know and I’ll link you my stuff in a PM or something.

Hey JuneBug, here’s my gallery and pricing list (note that the in-game-gold equivalent of those prices also works) http://illumikage.deviantart.com/
Happy art-hunting!

Saving up for things in the game that I otherwise can’t get so I’m opening up proper commissions and gold commissions~!
(-cough-because this is the only way for me -cough-)

Please see all links and the examples of more recent speed-paintings I’ve posted below.

My Deviantart contains a few different styles and different levels of polish.

Older but more polished GW2 fan-art:
Raizel Sorrowgale
Lyrael Stormbloom
Sylvari heavy-plate
Raalk The Destroyer (speedpaint)
Asura for Dany (another speedpainty thingie)

Prices
(with discounted early-bird sale prices valid if you reserve a spot by the end of March as I am currently working on a backlog of smaller commissions from another forum until next weekend).

Sketch/Speedpainting with Simple BG
bust $40 ~on sale $30
half body $55 ~ on sale $40
full body $70 ~ on sale $60

Full Color & Polished Drawing/Painting with Simple BG
-bust $70 ~on sale $55
-half body $90 ~on sale $75
full body (not currently doing these due to time involved)

+ detailed BG or extra characters subject to additional fees, on a case by case basis (note that I am a lot less likely to take these sorts of commissions at this time… unless I’m heavily bribed muahaha! jk)

In-game-gold equivalent of those prices is totally accepted, just calculate the cash-to-gems-to-gold rate for a ballpark figure.

Fweee, thank you. ^^
While I would like to do commissions myself, I also want to commission other artists in the future. I’ve seen some really interesting and beautiful styles from the other artists.

Thank you both for responding. Akio, thank you for going that far to look into it!
I’ve changed the title of the thread to hopefully catch mod attention. Crossing my fingers!

Thank you Akio. I looked and couldn’t find anyone charging real money for the commissions on the forums, though I know that people used to… Which made me wonder if it’s no longer allowed or something.

I’m quite nervous, will wait for more feedback (both from potential clients and from Anet). -;

GW2 Art Commission question

Zelkai.3562

Before I barge into the GW2 fan art-commission game, I’d like to clarify whether this is acceptable or not. I am looking at doing art commissions for real life and/or in-game currency but don’t want to be stepping on any toes.

If someone who knows the policy on this could get back to me, it would be really great. I would love to start doing commissions but can’t seem to find anything conclusive about what is legal and reasonably within ToS.

As Princesses pointed out, screencaps and style preference would help.

Personally, while I do have my own style, I work to match whatever style a client wants (at least to the best of my abilities). Pricing of course varies depending on the complexity of the characters (armor and so on), the pose, setting and whether there is a background or not.

For examples of my work, please see www.illumikage.net or http://illumikage.deviantart.com

For something like this http://illumikage.deviantart.com/art/Sylvari-Heavy-510052357 I am thinking around $70, it would be more if it were full-body, less if just a bust. If using in-game currency, check the current prices of converting gold to gems and the amount of gems you’d get with $70. Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you need more pricing examples.

Message me if interested.

Happy art-hunting!

DARK recruiting for all ranks (Blackgate)

in Looking for...

Posted by: Zelkai.3562

Zelkai.3562

Home World: Blackgate

Guild Name: Knights Of The Shadow Dominion [DARK]

Guild Website: just a facebook page for now: https://www.facebook.com/ktsd.dark (follow for event details and contests).

In-Game Contact: Zelkai.3562

Focus: PvE/Dungeons, WvW, Events & Living Story

Quick Notes: Newly expanding guild alert!
We are a no drama, equal rights guild with zero tolerance for the negative ‘isms’, bullying and trolling.

The guild is to be run by multiple people (preferably experienced players and veterans) to ensure someone is around to moderate throughout the day. We’re recruiting new members and officers alike as a trial run since we are just expanding now. Officers who have proven themselves will gain a chance to be promoted to co-leader status. Mail me in-game with the subject line “Guild” and let me know which rank you are aiming for and why.

For voice-chat we will use RaidCall (details in guild pane).

Ranks:
Overseer – Founders & co-leaders (filled)
Officer – Generic, guild moderator
Field Officer – Organized WvW leaders
Dungeon Master – Organized dungeon coordinators
Shadow Agent – casual members
Recruit – New members

In DARK, ranks merely reflect what your focus is and what you hope to accomplish within the guild. If you have a title in mind which reflects your gameplay better than a rank listed above, please let me know.

We expect members to respect one-another, remember to represent and to have fun! If you see me on, don’t hesitate to say hello in guild chat, I will be sure to answer if I’m not in the middle of combat. If you have already been inactive for more than two weeks and think you may become inactive for a lengthy period of time (month or more) but with plans to return, please let me know.

Best wishes on your hunt for the right guild!

I don’t often do fan-art, but when I do, it’s a Sylvari.

Please let me know if the colors look too dark or overly saturated. I’m experimenting with color balance & saturation and the feedback is most welcome.

Any feedback for that matter.

Thanks and enjoy!

It's still February but the monthly reset.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Zelkai.3562

Zelkai.3562

I’m just sad that the monthlies don’t reset based on the timezone you happen to be in. I had thought I had until March 1st (which in my timezone is tomorrow), and was going to do the last dungeon today with my friends so that we wouldn’t have to pug it. I only had one left to do to finish my monthlies and since I don’t have much time to play, this really chafed me raw. Both myself and my friends in New Zealand thought it would be reset based on PST and planned around that. ._.

Signing this as well. For that matter, why did the monthly reset in the middle of the last day of the month? I was one dungeon away from completion of the monthly, and now it has reset. This is really frustrating.

[DARK]-recruiting casual players on Blackgate

in Guilds

Posted by: Zelkai.3562

Zelkai.3562

Knights of The Shadow Dominion [DARK] is recruiting!

Located on Blackgate, we are a casual guild comprised of working adults/parents and college students from various parts of the world, which is to say that the ideal applicants are mature individuals (probably active to semi-active casual players themselves). We are also a close-knit group and a family-guild.

This is a no drama group, and we all understand that people have work, studies and lives outside of the game as we all do. Hours of activity vary. We are doing our best to obtain useful guild upgrades, so some daily activity is definitely preferred.

We accept:
Mature individuals regardless of age
Casual – active players
People who just want to be in a guild without a hassle

We are NOT interested in:
Beggars
Whiners
Those who abuse or hassle others
Elitists
Spammers

Remember, being social and saying hello are nice, but we all understand that it’s difficult for some people to chat and play the game at the same time. If someone does not respond to you right away or at all, they probably missed your message.

We expect members to respect one-another, remember to represent and to have fun! Group activities are encouraged but are not an absolute requirement. If you see me on, don’t hesitate to say hello in guild chat, I will be sure to answer if I’m not in the middle of combat. Regardless of whether you are new to the game or an experienced player, if you need a guild where you can kick back and simply enjoy the game, we’re your kind of guild.

If interested, just mail me in game to guarantee I see your message.
Best wishes on your hunt for the right guild!
