Kitkat 2014 Art Thread [UPDATE=SEPT] - Page 1 | Arts & Crafts

[S]I want to start this off by answering a question that somebody messaged me about. They were asking me if I take commissions, and if so, how much they cost. As it turns out, (despite my inherit laziness,) I was actually considering opening commissions sometime soon. Problem being that I don't know exactly how much people would be willing to pay for them. I don't have much of a resume for detailed and completed works, but I can assure you that my abilities have improved since my last thread.

I'll be posting some preview images sometime soon, and if anybody would like to give an estimate of how much they'd be willing to spend on it, then we can talk turkey.[/S]

Is it time? Is. It. TIME?
:llama_excited2:

Commissions will be opening soon, and I need some up-to-date previews to show, since nothing I have right now is quite what I'd like to show for a rÃ©sumÃ©! So I'll be taking free requests, up until July 31st @ 23:59 PDT !

So here's what I need from you:

Who/ what you want me to draw -- it doesn't have to be Mabinogi-related! [SIZE="1"]I don't draw hentai or kinky![/SIZE]
Pose reference or ideas! I don't trace, so if you want me to do x pose that y person in z picture has, it's not going to look exactly the same! [SIZE="1"]Is that a good thing or a bad thing?[/SIZE]
A song, rhyme, tale, quote, paragraph, or anything of the sort that speaks the person! Personalisation means a lot to me, so find that character a theme song![SIZE="1"]If it's a song, I'll listen to it non-stop while working on the piece, so please give me something that will give me a good feel of the character![/SIZE]
Expression? If it's people, I want to know what's going on in the scene as much as you do! Feel free to supply some minor (or major) backstory! [SIZE="1"]I like listening to people's dramatic problems![/SIZE]
Any miscellaneous tidbits that I may need to know! Does something have to be specific? Does her hair have to be strawberry blonde, and not pink and yellow? If they're not my character, then I wouldn't know! [SIZE="1"]Please be gentle with me![/SIZE]
??? [SIZE="1"]I think I forgot something...[/SIZE]
Profit!!! [SIZE="1"]I think?![/SIZE]

So that about sums it up! Send in your requests via this thread ([SIZE="1"]or you can send me a private message if you want![/SIZE]) and I'll get to them A[SIZE="1"]s[/SIZE] S[SIZE="1"]oon[/SIZE] A[SIZE="1"]s[/SIZE] P[SIZE="1"]rocrastination[/SIZE] S[SIZE="1"]tops[/SIZE]!
Just kiddin'. I'll get them done as soon as I can.

Procrastination is my middle name.

Anyways, here are a collage of sketches I've done over the past few years. I may have posted some before, but several of them had yet to see the light of day.

And here's a tiny sneak peak at a project I've been working on for a while that's been taking a hell of a time to get a definitive lineart for, and I'm not even on the actual final lineart yet.

Ooo free stuff yum!

How bout this? My latest update on my art thread :)

(Lady person / Fantasy girl / Magic lady / Sorceress?)

Her expression should be content and calm or anything close. I don't see her as a person who would have extreme expressions.

She carries a bamboo staff with leaves poking and a red spell book. You can leave both these out of the drawing or have them both, the freedom is yours! Also she wears a purple robe? (not sure what to call it) with pedal designs all over.

Loving your style, as always. :D Great poses, too. Looks a bit like character concept art work for video games development.

Hmmm. . .I may have a few ideas I can give you. But! One thing I'd like to know before I post a particular pic is. . .does the amount of things in the picture matter? Like, do you have an exact limit on what you'd be willing to do for free Kitkat?

Not particularly, no. I don't charge extra for more people, or etc.

Also, I forgot to mention, but feel free to ask for a style, or type, such as bust-up, waist-up, and then like. I also do signatures and avatars!

Beginner wrote on 2014-07-23 06:56

Ooo if ur considering mine, a waist up signature would be awesome. I don't mind a bust up signature tho but if possible, I really want her color theme to be relevant to the piece (yellow, purple, and orange).

Thank you! I see her more as an ingame NPC but still relevant :)

Yoorah wrote on 2014-07-23 12:54

Actually, I was referring to Kitkat's sketches. :P Your pixel art does look great, though, and I agree that it looks more like a finished sprite.

Hey! Always down for some free stuff. How about this. It's my character in-game.

[/SPOILER]

-Pose: For the pose, I just want something that screams action, adventure, like he's at the end of his quest, but he has one more enemy to defeat, and he's in the middle of the battle. The enemy he has to fight, the pose, that's all up to you. However, I want him to be the main focus of the picture, not the conflict itself. Perhaps something like he's jumping off a cliff onto the back of a dragon that he is about to kill. Or from one dragon to another. Something on that scale.

-Song: I don't really have a song in mind, but I'll give you what I've been listening to recently. It's this one song thats stuck in my head, ever since I watched the Assassin's Creed Unity trailer.

- His expression should be one of intensity and concentration. Furrowed eyebrows, stern look, clenched jaw, whatever makes him look like he's in the zone. He's usually a kind and quiet guy, but when he gets excited he gets noisy and sometimes reckless.

-Misc.: I'd like him to be wearing bracer knucks. instead of those gloves. Also, instead of white and blue, make the color scheme a dark grey and red, almost like his sword. The rest of the details have to be the same as in the picture.

I dunno if this is too little or too much, but the most important thing is, you gotta have fun drawing it! Don't force yourself to do it if you're not feeling it.

All right well, I actually have two ideas. The first is Mabi: [SPOILER="Mabi image"]

[Image: http://puu.sh/at9Mz/2b3040f8b0.jpg]

[/SPOILER]

The picture: This is where that gliched happened and there were two Reshichickens.

The pose: I'd like my character to instead of panicking realizing what happened, to moreso face the two dragons, with his Green Highlander Claymore in the ground, a bit similar to how Dragon Fangs and Glory Swords are held in the normal mode. His arms are crossed as well. For reference on his actual appearance: [SPOILER="Mabi image 2"]

[Image: http://puu.sh/at9SP/b148cc15eb.jpg]

[/SPOILER]

Song: Err. . .let's go with Vindi's episode 10 dragon theme because these are dragons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3LSJJEAgNc

His expression should be one of seriousness. Let's see. . .the arms crossed tie into this especially, so that's pretty important. His eyes. . .he has a serious gaze, similar to how Itachi looks in this one, [SPOILER="Itachi image for expression"]

[Image: http://altinz01.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/itachi_uchiha1.png]

[/SPOILER]
As far as the story with the expression, a very rare occurence has happened. But before I get into that, a bit more about Yanm. He's generally a very calm and serious individual, rarely smiling completely, at times smirking, but rarely a genuine smile. He's very confident in his abilities, but rarely underestimates his opponents, and if they do surprise him, it doesn't phaze him much. He's rarely cut off-guard and is very analytical. He's known for his agility and speed, akin to an Assassin (Yet I'm not using ninja stuff here lol.) He specializes in range and swordsmanship/Lance combat.

Anyway, so the story. Yanm normally jumps at the chance to go fight Reshichicken, but in this particular scenario, the messengar was literally panicking as if he was having a heart attack. He mentioned that not one, but two White Dragons have appeared in the exact same area.This has never happened before, and the dragons are gathering their army to launch an assault on Vales. Yanm hears of this and quickly teleports to the area, then stealthily observes the army. After observing them for a bit, realizing they're running out of time because they're going to mount an attack soon and his other allies are busy, he decides to confront them himself. Where you see him standing, the cliff can be a bit higher, but he's basically standing there with arms folded, staring down at the army with his Claymore in the ground, similar to how Dragon Fangs/Glory Swords are in the normal standing animation. They haven't noticed him yet.

Some Misc stuff: I know I have his eyes as a yellowish color, but I'd prefer them to be red. I need to change that during a rebirth sometime lol. His hair has to be the blonde color, but. . .stylish wise, I'd prefer if it was more similar to Ulquiorra's in this picture [SPOILER="Ulquiorra reference"]

[Image: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140605165650/bleach/en/images/f/f7/267Ulquiorra_profile.png]

[/SPOILER] HOWEVER, if that style is a bit too confusing too draw, his current hairstyle is the Wolf Cut and that'll work just fine.

THAT was a lot to type. I hope that this isn't too much. If it is, let me know, I can tone it down Kitkat. (Damn your name, I want some kitkats now >:C.)

Hiya,

Guess I'm too late for freebies huh? Thought I might as well check, haha. Just to see if you needed more portfolio stuff.

Sorry, you are too late. I'm normally quite lenient, but not right now.

Working on the requests and a few other things atm. ^^

Edit: Sept 08, 2014:

I've had so much on my plate recently! And unfortunately, it has nothing to do with cookies!

:llama_hesitant:

In the meantime, I hope that a couple of sketches I feel proud of will tide your desires to peek into my private life! Been drawing lots in my sketchbooks recently. [SIZE="1"]I should transfer some of these to my canvas book...[/SIZE]

[SPOILER="Big-ish picture DERP"]

[Image: http://i.imgur.com/E7x8Q1H.jpg]

Her name is Archealos, also known as the golden phoenix. This is a picture of her with a particular tree sapling... This picture was drawn by somebody who wished that he would always remember her face, even if not her name...

She doesn't have her wings as a human, but to him, those wings are as much a part of her as her smile.[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER="BECAUSE MABINOGI TOTES DID DE AR TONELICO THING WITH THE PHANTASMAL CHORUS."]

[Image: http://i.imgur.com/nc895lc.jpg]

Isabelle. A spirit who loves song and dance. The tears of the golden phoenix warmed the heart that was lost in darkness and betrayal, and now she stands as proof of the tiny candle that refused to go out, and that a little water goes a long ways...

I might explain more of that later.
