Commission request

Hey yall. I don't have the time/energy to learn how to draw, so I'm seeking out another commission.

I've loved the work I've gotten so far (Thanks to Celtic_Bolt, Brandon McKinney and Starchasm) but there's one piece that's been stuck in my head that I need done before closing this particular chapter:

What I see is Bill on top of a mound of CoT bodies inside of Oranbega, with the body of Lilutu sliding off his arm as he had just impaled her with his talons, right through the abdominal wall, severing the spine.

Yea, it's gotta be that graphic. Lots of blood, lots of gore, the entire image needs to scream madness and chaos.

Any takers? Ideas on who I should pursue?

Deviantart.com has a lot of artists out there. You could try looking there. That pic sounds wonderful! Good luck!

Wow... vexiphne's digital art is rather striking... but not crazed. I need crazed.

Graver might just be crazy enough for ya. But there's a long wait...

You could try Jtran218 over on DA.

He did a really amazing line art of Synergy for me and one of his featured pictures, involving Rowr, is similair to the type you're looking for.

I think his COH forum name is DaosX as well.

Anyway you should check out his work.

DaosX is pretty intense. And he skirts the edge of what DA will allow.

That said, he's also one of the best 'airbrush' style illustrators on DA. I love his work.

Ya, unfortunately, it i a bit of a wait for my work (I really am trying to speed up... the world just won't let me!)... but if you don't mind the wait... I do sooooo love doing piles of dead and mangled bodies... and blood... oh how I love things that splatter and sputter! And after all the dead CoT I've done... I think I'm getting pretty decant at it

That and the imagery you have here is some powerful stuff... something I'd love to sink my teeth into... it brings back blissful memories of the Heaven and Hell piece I did a few months back.

Good luck in getting that piece done... it sounds like it will be a great one!

Graver, I have long loved your work, and you were one of the ones I thought of first, specifically because of your Heaven and Hell piece, so you're definitely in the running.

My only criticism of your work at all has been the colors. While gorgeous, I'm concerned they wouldn't be "in my face" enough, if that makes any sense.


Jtran218's stuff also jumped out at me when I was using Rowr's page for a artist hunt last month. His Rowr "Queen of the Mountain" piece fits the bill mostly, but is lacking Graver's ability to capture madness.

Wish I had 1/10th of yall's talent, and I'd give it a go myself.

ah, don't worry about it... and I totally understand where your coming from. I do work with a very subdued palate (I have a weird kind of weakness for sepia toned photos, old and faded things, etc ). However, my palate seems to get a touch more colorful with each piece... maybe by the time I got to you I'd only have to make a moderate effort to make the colors a bit bolder then I normally would and you'd have the "in-yer-face" colors you want. Of course, I could also do the line work and Jtran or someone else could apply the emboldened color's to it... getting chocolate in your peanut-butter is not always a bad thing

just a thought

Edit: and since color was brought up, it got me thinking about my work and what would happen if I just tweaked the paintings digitally to add a punch to the color. Here's the results on two of them
Tweak 01
Tweak 02

I never tweaked any of them before 'cause it just felt dishonest... not an accurate representation of what the painting looks like in real life.

Just more food for thought. I'm gonna go now... gotta stop thinking about colors... gotta stop thinking about colors.. gotta stop being so obsessed...
