You weren't asking too much. but if you want to commission some art, YOU have to be the one doing all the footwork. The artists aren't going to come to you, and people aren't gonna contact artists on your behalf.

Look around at the artists, see if any fit the style you're looking for, then send them a message, email, IM, PM, whatever. If you can't keep track of who you're talking to well... that's what organizers are for. Notepad. Excel. Etc.

And believe me, most of these artists would LOVE to hear from you... but the mere fact that they are busy DOING art, doesn't mean they have time to browse the forums looking for people REQUESTING art. Even for commissions. But if you contact them, since this is their livelyhood, it's a pretty safe bet they won't turn YOU down... you are the customer after all.

And on that note, do you have your groceries delivered to you, or do you have to go to the grocery store and pick stuff out? Same kinda thing with commissioning artists.

Sorry if this sounded kinda snarky. It's very late and I'm upset that my team lost tonight.

I'd always figured TA's little sister would be like a gothy rebel kinda type... or maybe a bookworm type. Hah :P
ALways jealous of older brother's art i mean heroing or whatever he does...

Wow nice! But are you sure that's Rowr? That looks more like it could be Hemily... Rowr doesn't wear skirts!

What, you like it when people watch?

Wow those are looking very very awesome!! Tremendous job!

One of my best friends is a mouse. Magpie mouse!

I'm not sure... but I'm sure it can be revived... I ... just... need to work on it more.

Yay! those look great I love seeing 'in progress' type stuff! Makes the final and knowing what went into it so much more the better!

Thanks LJ!

Holy moly that's a huge list!

Did Gill finish his? I didn't see it! *gasp*

Yay Megu's back! *big hugs!*

I love this piece. I'm sure the actual real physical painting is zillions times better what the scan shows, and as Hemily attests to. Can't wait til it's my turn in the queue!

LJ I love you! Those are great

Oh great, TA and AoT Yaoi...

(did i use that term right? ))

*dies LMAO a million times over* HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!

*deep breath deep breath* LMAO!!!

Oh that's great hahaha!!!!

LOL nono I wasn't asking ya to draw that I just have this funny mental image in my head

LOL I could totally see it. Rowr looking all befuddled, because the armor pieces would be sooo incredibly oversized and hanging off her... haha

O.o!

*dies laughing*

Okay now do a Rowr in TA armor hahaha!

OOh is that who that is? Neat

Even comic book artists learn to draw people first, then are able to distort them properly into super humans and monsters and such, while still maintaining proportion.

Librarians are awesome

Yay chibi Rowr !

I think Cuppa now has more art than TA!!!

Draw from life. Lots. Draw everything you see. If your eventual goal is to do anime/manga, great. But don't start with it. Anime/manga "works" because the artist understands basic human proportion, and is able to distort it properly to achieve that style. There are anime artists out there who do NOT understnad basic human proportion, and their anime drawings look really bad.

So draw people. Draw objects, walls, buildings, plants, cars, everything you can see. Draw SLOWLY. Draw QUICKLY! Learn to do gesture (fast!) and contour (slow!) drawings (go google those to see examples of what they are). That will help 'loosen you up' for drawing.

But draw lots of people. Draw lots of human heads. Once you get a good foundation down, you can then learn to go off into whatever 'form' you want. Anime, cubism, surrealistic, whatever. :P

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, yes, very good book. Go get it. Go read it. Twice!

Doodle -everywhere-. It doesn't matter if it's "bad". Just do it. You can't learn what's "good" If you don't know what is "bad".

And yes I'm still an amateur at all this. But, you too can go from this to this to even this.

Yaay! Looks like me I hope I hope! I'm chasing Kat? YAY!

Yes i'd like an individual scan! Can you email me? rowrcoh at yahoo.com
