Did I hear tutorials??

Anyone try ZBrush?

DJ?

Wo, where'd you come from??

Great piece so far.

welcome to the forums!

Funny, I live in Korea and met my wife in Starbucks.

Odd world.

Why not come to DA DJ??

And yet another...

Frosty.

Always love the group shots.

And now - Dark Kerse

In conection to this, has anyone ever upgraded your montiro after you've been using a tablet?

I'm going from 17" to 24" this week and wondering how that'll throw off my tablet.

Yup, that really helps SMF. I love it when someone has taken the time to piece together a "sheet" of their character in different poses. I get to see the costume at different angles, and they can elaborate on any changes they'd like (thos not in this amazing character creator).

Good advice Jug. I'll keep this in mind when I finally steel the courage to ask for a commisioned piece. and by steel the courage I mean have money.

Ditto.

I would like to add that the artists in this forum are some of the most generous people I have ever seen. They should be treated with the respect they rightfully deserve. They (and the art SG) have inspired me to pick up a pencil and start drawing some of the people I have met ingame. I will post some free art when I get it done and bribe someone to scan it for me.

Yeah, I hope the OP isn't taken too harshly... honestly, this forum is one of the most encouraging I've encountered.

man, I've gott'a find some time to log in.

Going to let you pick between my scrapper Priss Teen (also done about 2 yrs ago by Gill Bates ) or my Scrapper, Too Sweet (actually a tribute character of a friend of mine who created the original). Screenies of each on my new Photobucket site. I'll get a few more up in the next few days. Obviously, I expect to be relatively low priority, given your project load.

Man, this is great! I'm very excited to see the result. Your dynamic style has always made you one of my Art board faves!

I haven't forgotten baout this and have added you to my list

I've seen a lot of threads around of people requesting art for their characters. I've also seen some frustration when those threads go ignored or (on occasion) slightly flamed.

Here are some of my bits o'advice:

1-Be polite: that means that if you are asking someone for someting, you might want to include a "please" in there somewhere.

2-Make it easy on the artist: post up screenies that are easy to look at. If you post up shots from far away, or ones taken in a CoT storm, I'll have no idea what your character looks like.

3-Respect the time it takes: each piece of art takes a certain amount of time. A sketch can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. A finished piece can take weeks! Don't expect things to get done asap all the time.

4-We do not all need the experience: This one sounds kind of harsh, but it's true. While I love to better my skills, and working on different characters sometimes helps in that, it bothers me when people say "ah, do this for me and you'll get exposure in my comic", "you can practice on my character". Honestly, there are some fine characters on these boards... but just to remind some people; artists can create characters too.

5-Time is money: Wow, this one sounds even worse. I really don't want it to sound so crass but I have to say, when someone does work for me, I pay them. If someone programs my computer or designs a page for me, I believe in compensating them for their time, skills and effort. To me, art is no different. If someone is working on a pic for me for 10 hours, they need to be compensated. That is why I love to draw for others here, and why I love having artists draw for me.

6-Have an interesting character: This one is subjective of course, but having an interesting character helps out so much when hunting for an artist. Each artist will have their own opinion though, so...

7-Note that every artist is different: Each one will draw/paint in their own way. Look at previous works to get a feel for the artist that is right for you.


So, what do you all think? Anything else to add?

It put a smile on my face this morning.

Cool, glad I could get people to head in his direction.

He's amazing and I could spend weeks coloring his stuff.
