Guild Wars 2

Iona, I’ve finished your piece! I wasn’t sure about a background, so it’s just white. :(
If you can think of a good one though, I’ll add it.

@Lindonrow: Got it! Thanks for the screens.

Also, finished poikapureda’s piece! On to the rest of the list. :)

Lilith Ajit, your piece is finished! The rainbow effect was really fun to do. :D

Fsnowzombie.4352:

hope u like it!

I love it! :D Thank you so much, she looks great (and fierce)!

Good to see you’re drawing again! This Charr gal of mine needs some love.
Gold will be sent shortly.

Commission updates and refund info in the first post!

Lilith Ajit, I’ve attached a sketch of your piece. Let me know if you want to change anything and I’ll begin refining and inking.

Finished another commission today, but since it’s not GW2-related (spoiler: it’s a SWTOR character), I don’t think I can post it here. However, you can look at it in my dA gallery if you would like.

I’ll start filling up my waitlist again once it is clear. If you have contacted me before or since I closed with interest in a commission, you will be added first.

Darn, guess I lost that one. D:

I’ve got to try out this armor etch stuff at some point, sounds very simple and fun.

Very nice! What tools did you use to do the etching?

Also, is it a red glass or a clear one filled with red liquid? My boyfriend insists it’s the latter but I disagree.

I’m glad someone noticed. :D

@ Jingy: I’ll add you as soon as things clear up. Thanks for being patient. :)

Also, a recent commission.

Recently finished commission for Invertation of her ele, Riisa.

@ Lilith Ajit: Yep, I’ll add you to my waitlist. I’m going have more asura than human commissions soon! :o

@ poikapureda: I did a very rough sketch during class, so let me know if this pose looks okay. The things on the bottom are a guardian symbol and necrotic fog.

@ Iona: I can’t wait. :)

@ Jingy: If you insist. I’ll mentally reserve a slot for you.

Haha, this will be the 4th, right? Which Tirri do I get to draw this time? :D

I’ll put you on the waitlist for now.

Jingy, your piece is finished! It was fun working in tones again, a bit of a break from all the color.

Iona, your piece is finished! Much better likeness than last time IMO. I’m glad I had the chance to do Tirri in color. :)

Also, two different backgrounds for extra fun.

Is this a bit better?

@ Iona: If you like this sketch, let me know and I’ll begin inking. Tried to make her a bit happier looking this time. :)

@ Jingy: Let me know if there’s anything you want me to fix and I’ll start inking.

Recently finished commission for Invertation featuring their friend’s OC, Lavina.

poikapureda, I appreciate your interest, but at the moment I’m full-up on commissions. However, if you’d like, I can put you on a waitlist and I’ll PM you both on here and in game to let you know when I’m ready to start your commission.

These are fantastic! Love the tumbler too. :)

Such a speedy post Jingy! Everything you said is correct and I’ll add you to my last slot. You can post a few screenshots of your character (one is fine, but more angles/facial close-ups are helpful) either as attachments on here or as a link to an Imgur album. Glad I live up to my thread name, lol.

No worries, Iona, the order of the list isn’t 100% indicative of the order I’m working on stuff. I make sure to keep track of payments so you don’t have to. :)
Also, the armor looks great and I’ll send a sketch ASAP.

Recently finished commission.

You’ve got some really nice textures going on in your pieces. Fabulous job.

@ Invertation- Thanks for the feedback! Always appreciated.

@ Iona- Thank you! I was thinking 8g? They take a bit more effort/planning than traditionally colored headshots do.

I’m thinking about offering a new style like this. Would anyone be interested?

Absolutely love it! You did a fabulous job. :D

The two artists whose digital painting style is most similar to yours (duckgirl and merope) both charge 30g per character headshot, are both currently swamped with requests, and at least in duckgirl’s case, going to raise their price.

I would assume you will also be offering headshots only and if your contest thread was any indicator, you’ll likely be swamped as well. As such, I would recommend 50g minimum per piece and an additional 100% per character included in the same piece.
Also, don’t be afraid to change your prices after you’ve started to account for demand, personal time, in-game financial goals, etc.

9/10 I’m not usually a fan of all-black looks, but the flames add some interest. Would love to see more of them elsewhere.

This is my ranger’s leveling armor, I’ll probably change it once she’s 80.

The artist is Koreena on dA. She has a lot of other GW2 related things in her gallery, including a special section devoted to all things quaggan!

Iona, your piece is finished! I’ve included a version with her giving some not-needed advice. :D

Hey, I posted the commission details in my previous post. Sorry if you missed it.

A bust of my female norn nose-kissing/nuzzling her griffon mini on a plain parchment yellow background. I’ve got a gesture sketch of it that I’ll upload with the screens and other details. That would be 25g, correct?

EDIT: Added screens. Let me know if you need more of the griffon or Fastvi.

Now for the important things. I was hoping to make this wallpaper for my computer, so if you could do something in 1280 × 800, that would be rad.
For the pose I would like pretty much what I have sketched, though minor things can be played with (placement of the griffon’s tail, her expression, etc.). I would like Fastvi’s hair down, with the little braided/corded parts of her in-game hairstyle included tastefully. Her part is on the side, over the eye that is farther from the viewer. I would like her neck tattoos to show above her armor more, so if you could move them up a tad from their in-game placement that would be great. I would like her to be wearing the armor pictured in the upper left and lower right of the first attachment (vigil shoulders, draconic chest and gloves).
For the griffon, you can make it look like a toy or more like a real griffon, the choice is yours. Regardless, I do not want the collar included at all—bare neck only please!
For the overall picture, I was going for more of an orange/copper than a brown look for the armor/griffon. Also, you don’t have to make Fastvi as busty as the character model is. I was looking for a more pear-shaped body type… but apparently norn aren’t built that way.

I think that’s it. Let me know if I’m being too picky, haha. :)

Any chance I could preemptively nab that slot? I know exactly what I want done and can upload reference pics and send payment this evening when I get home.

Thanks Iona! I can’t upload your sketch right now because I’m at work, but I remember you posting somewhere that she likes to dispense advice even if it isn’t asked for, so I went with that theme in her pose. Hand on hip, eyebrow raised, and mouth ready to insult the receiver’s intelligence. Sound okay?

Cartheb, your piece is finished! Your gauntlets were super fun to color.

How much would you charge for coloring line art? Just trying to get some price quotes for a future project of mine.

There was a similar post about this topic a few months ago. No one from Anet responded and the general conclusion was that it is fine. I would assume the same goes for items bought with gold.

Lindonrow, your piece is finished! Hope it’s cool that I went with the 3rd skill on scepter as opposed to a flame blast. Also, I really wanted to do more cool flame effects but it was already taking me longer than expected. D:

Sketches all around! Let me know if you hate anything about these and I’ll fix it. If they look good, tell me and I’ll start inking and coloring.

Scumbag Mawile- just realized I forgot the second fused dagger, but no worries, it’ll be there. Hope I made the norn big enough… I may edit him as well.

Lindonrow- Let me know if you want a more serious pose, but for now I think this one is pretty fun/funny. I’ll probably have his dagger stowed or falling from his currently empty hand.

Cartheb- Not much to say. Yay dancing norn? :D

Sketch of Hot Boy’s sylvari mesmer, Luna Danu Of Dreams, because I felt ashamed for giving him a 6/10 for her name.

Hope this makes up for it.

Okay, that’s it. I’ll try to do something like this again. :)

Thanks again to everyone who let me practice on their characters!

LittleLepton’s norn, looking a bit shy.

Askeptykal, I just couldn’t get the face I wanted for her.

Iona’s pondering asura.

Hey guys, I wanted an excuse to get some more tablet practice in while my commissions are slow, so I’m offering free sketches from now until I go to bed tonight.

Post your screenshots and let me have at them! :D

Well since the last couple of people didn’t rate the previous names, I’ll go ahead and do it for them.

—Luna Danu of Dreams – 6/10. I like the Luna and the Dreams bit but I’m not to sure about the Danu bit… is it supposed to be a reference to the Danube River?
—Pursifal – 7/10. I like that you stuck with the naming convention in the lore, even if it’s only phonetically. I thought it was “Pursefail” at first glance though, which was confusing to say the least.
—Byblis – 10/10. I like that you used an actual plant genus for your name. The fact that it’s a carnivorous plant is even better and very suitable for a necro.

As for my sylvari names, my male mesmer is Orgaetorix, a variation on the spelling of this guy’s name and my female necro is Ardaitheoirí, Gaelic for “lifts” as in “lifts from the earth”.
