Guild Wars 2

I love this sketch style, and even more so now that you’ve made me aware of the Lord Faren askblog.

As for price range, I’d estimate a minimum range of ~10-15g for the styles you’ve offered. As a standard, I’d build your price range around approximately how many gold per hour you value your time at, and likely make adjustments according to demand thereafter. The wisest thing to do here is set a low queue to gauge that impact.

Having sampled most of the currently active commission threads, I’d put an estimate around 20-25g for a painted bust.

Depending on how much time you’re investing, it might not hurt to create a rate based on the time you’re putting in.

Looks perfect to me. You have my sincerest gratitude yet again.

Looks great. You have my complete go-ahead.

A bit of superficial research would have me believe that the spoken language is generally equivalent, save for other races and nationalities that bring in their words.

However, the more reliable source here for an answer would likely be the lore forums,

Lifedragn.2975:

I’m considering doing commissions for people that are willing to wait a really long time lol.

Time is of no matter, so long as we know you’ve not dropped off the earth in between. At the very least, I promise you my interest

A little belated, but as promised, I’d like to make a request for a colored upperleg shot, + backgound for the following character:

Minaus Eilus

References:
Armor, Face/Glow

Character Info:
Minaus holds a relatively calm demeanor in almost all that she does. At a glance, she acts the role of a humble aristocrat, but such beliefs plays right into her ruse. Minaus takes great pride in the role of a prankster, enacting schemes ranging from petty to masterminded. Notably, devious to a fault. While she doesn’t actively pursue conflict, she takes great satisfaction in exacting almost immediate revenge against anyone who would wrong her, and does so in the most explosive of ways.

Scene:
Along a snow covered mountain, with the drifting snowflakes and mountain range in the distance illuminating the rich blue atmosphere with the soft glow of a full moon.

My apologies for the clash of the character’s described personality and the set scene. It’s a bit more of a serene atmosphere, so I see her soaking up the peace and quiet of nature. But, I welcome you to interpret and modify that as much as you see fit. I’ll be glad to supply any extra info as necessary.

You have my gratitude. Thanks for the sketch.

If Norn are of any interest to you, Nyir may make for an interesting subject:

It turned out wonderfully. Thanks so much for offering your time and talents.

Looks great to me. Just sent payment in full, so you have my complete go-ahead.

Sent you a PM for further details.

Via forums / private messages would be just fine.

I’ll go ahead and jump on that last slot be it not yet taken.
I’d like to make a request for a colored simple bust for the following character:

Nyir Cadeni
It’s a wee bit hard to see from the screenshots, but her eyes are a deep green, akin to an evergreen color.
As for the armor, I’d appreciate if you could use the pieces in the second reference. The armor is the Wolf Armor for the chest and legs, and the boots are the Divinity Council Boots.

If you need any more information, I’d be glad to provide more. Otherwise, I offer complete artistic license.

… bombard them all here

By all means, you’ve already dedicated a thread to your artwork. Go all out!

I believe this page covers that question fairly well:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-content-terms-of-use/

Sure, I’ll go for both backgrounds. Thanks so much for offering your time and talents.

I’m super excited with how this turned out. Thanks so much for your offering your time.

’twould be my pleasure.

I’l be making a request for an Anime headshot, colored, of the following character:

Taelus, Image 2
Taelus is a demon, owing her lineage to a draconic race. She’s a character with an abundant optimistic naïveté, driven by bold confidence and an insatiable curiosity. Though Taelus appears younger than her given age, her behavior often leads her to be treated more akin to a younger sister than peer. She often takes to a powerful sense of wanderlust, exploring new branches of the world, but always returns to her native city in the end.

Appearance:
Taelus has a dark complexion, somewhere crossed between a charcoal and rich mocha. Taelus’s hair extends just shy of hip level, and gradiates from a base tone of silver into a faint lime hue. Her eyes and markings glow a cyan/lime green in dim light. Taelus’s arms, legs, and tail are plated in a tough, yet malleable metal. Taelus typically wears light clothing, reflecting a more traditional style of her home, and decorates her horns accordingly with small trinkets.

I welcome complete artistic liberty in any design choices or questions you may have, but I’ll be glad to supply any additional information if necessary, so don’t hesitate to ask.

Just keep up the good work for us onlookers.

Just a wee bit ago. Chronic habit of stalking art forums, really. I get just a little excited when I see familiar faces.

Well I’ll be, I thought that name and style looked familiar. I’ll be looking forward to seeing the results of this project, much so!

I’m really fond of your brushwork and use of contrast. Do keep us posted with more!

!!
I’m very very glad to see you’re still alive and active. Definitely going to enjoy seeing more of your works.

That’s one hell of a start. Keep up the good work!

Magnificent yet again. You have my thanks, sir.

szshou.2193:

Haha, thanks for the compliment. I don’t have much of a reputation here, so it’ll probably be a good while before I get a bunch of requests, can’t wait to get started again though

As the commissioner to that second image you posted, I completely endorse your works. Though, once you get that first commission posted here, methinks you’ll have quite a boom of popularity.

Eep, sorry for the hassle. Take your time. I’ll see if I can send any inspirational material your way to aid the process a little later.

‘tis fine. I’m afraid I got a bit too excited at how quickly you produced the last two works, so I’ve been eagerly awaiting all the same.

‘twas far better than I could’ve possibly imagined.

AkioFallstar.5460:

Second in line? Nooooooo!

Sorry, sorry, I tend to inquire about atypical requests via PM first as to not overtake the thread.

However, I am a terribly greedy soul and will be making a further request for more:

Name: Dinnvire
Ref: Armor
Bio: Dinn is an outgoing natured individual, led by a sharp wit and an even sharper penchant for snarky commentary. While she maintains an air of professionalism, where necessary, she often assumes the role of a trickster. She has specialized in the elements of air and water to great effect.
Additional Notes: Preferably, with her hair down and flowing, ala A, B.

Yet again, details I leave to your discretion, and additional information can be produced as you need.

I’ve been watching for an answer on this topic since early GW1. There’s been no official statement or posting regarding art commissions, and there’s essentially been a hands off approach. Somewhat recently, guru admins inquired about the topic and found the greatest concern about it was the possibility of scamming, so Guru shut down commissions.
My understanding is there will not be an official statement either way, so as to allow the community to produce fanworks, but also stand behind their EULA should there be those who abuse this for less favorable intentions.

Though, make of that what you will.

I love this style. Do keep us posted.

In that case, you’ll just have to keep us posted with both line art and colored works. A little practice never hurts, after all.

Actually, it would be fairly easy to interact with others on different servers, via the guesting process:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World#Guesting

Keep us posted on your artworks too.

Grand as always.

The very same
For the interim, I had just taken to watching your deviantart.

Welcome to the party, Murke!
I’m sure everyone here will be more than pleased to be graced with your art.

Ooooh wow.
I might have to get back into the game to commission you.
Do grace us with your art for the interim though!

Fancy seeing your works again.

Methinks I’ll have to spare a few coins for the cause, yet again. I’ll PM you at a later time with some info.

The long and short of the discussions on Guru regarding this have essentially said that, while previously untouched in GW1, there is a fear of scamming involved with commissions and a concern for banning those

At the same time, there has yet to be official ANet commentary on the subject.

Long time no see!
Glad to see you’re still alive and popping out masterpieces

I’m really liking these pieces. Thanks for gracing us with your art.

I appreciate it, Jrunyon!

Minaus, and her face
If she is to your liking.
I’ll be looking forward to seeing your works.

I prefer the richer red of the bottom left corner.

Damage done = (weapon damage) * Power * (skill-specific coefficient) / (target’s Armor)

As per this page, yeah, just a bit of an impairment. A bit of quick searching suggests that would make their damage output weaker by ~1/3 with respect to weapon damage alone. That’s fine and well if his group is informed and ok with that, but he does himself no favors.

It’d be nothing less than a shame to not finish this piece. Do keep us posted.

I’ve not seen your work in years now, and I’m a bit excited now to be honest. Do keep us posted with more.

I’m quite fond of your landscape work. True enough, we may have to challenge you with a bit more portrait and character oriented work.

Edit: Also, this piece has my attention. A very well composed work.

Just a wee bit of interest. Dare I ask if there’s a DA or gallery of the sorts?
