More of a Request, really...

To start off, I'd just like to say: No, this is not a request to the dev's. Now, my wind-up to the request.

I am by no sense of the word, an artist. My hands are too...rigid, I guess is the word. I can see what I want, but my body won't perform...now the request.

I was looking at some of the fan art on the website, and thought to myself: "Hey, these guys/girls are GREAT artists!" Then I got this idea, if any of you artists out there would like to give it a shot, I'm looking for someone to draw a picture of my main villain: ZZ9-PluralZAlpha. If you're looking for anything other than a big thanks, don't bother, though. Bit of a charity case. If you think you might be up for the job, send me a PM on the forums, or a message in-game (@Demon_Keeper). Thanks for hearing me out, those of you that came this far.

Wait, this isn't the Fan Art section??

Oh, SNAP!!

Seriously, I'd keep an eye out for the 'Draw people for free' threads. There's a few of them, one of which is most awesome (Celtic_Bolt). Just... don't expect to have it DONE for awhile, his waiting list is quite long.

hmm...I wonder where this was originally posted...

anyway, if you want art of your character (I really should make a quick guide for this) here is a list of ways to get it:
<ul type="square"> [*] First regardless what type of pieces you are having done, you need a site to upload your screenshots and images. I personally use www.photobucket.com for my reference shots since it's free to get an account and I can manage and directly link to my images. There are many other free image upload sites out there, just find the one that works for you.
[*] next you need to have decent reference shots. Below are examples of both bad and good:
+ VERY BAD!!! Make sure there aren't any powers running on you that would get in the way of your costume. Also don't take it at night, the darkness effect makes everything dark blue and harder to see.
+ Bad but workable... This still doesn't give us a close-up view of the costume and certainly doesn't give us multiple angles to work with.
+ Good and very workable! This gives us multiple angles of shots, cropped (in MSPaint) from a screenshot like the previous example, and then added all together into one image. Still we could do better such as the next example.
+ Ideal Reference Shot! To get this kind of shot do the following: go to the tailor on your character and opened the desired costume. Get your first angle shot ready and hit the printscreen key. Next you'll want to open up MSPaint (or any other image editor) and paste into a new document. Do this until you have 3-4 shots and then crop out the unnecessary parts and organize them like in the example.
+ This is crazy ideal, and pretty unnecessary! If it's important to you go ahead and do this with all your character's costumes, but you better off doing each costume individually as a separate file (more web-user friendly that way). [*] Next you'll want to browse through the Art Forums here. There are many people that do free art and sketches for practice, most of the time nothing extraordinary, but good work never-the-less. Browsing through threads here also lets you see what people have commissioned ($paid for$) talented artists to do for them.[*] Commission a piece from an artist, ask around in this forum if you are having trouble finding artists that work for your price range. Regluars like Rowr and Thor's Assassin, will be more than happy to help you out. Also browsing through someone's DeviantArt friends and favorites list will give you good idea of the artists out there.[*] The most important thing that will score you art here is becoming an active member of our art community. Frequently posting and engaging in friendly conversation is what I mean by "active" member. We're a very friendly and welcoming community here, and anything extra you bring with you will be happily accepted by us. Also we are such compliment whores here! [/list]

Quite right

...

I'll admit it, I do love a post pyramid

EDIT: I suppose I should add something useful to this

Just to give you a possible benchmark for how long you might end up waiting, I put in screenshots and a request in CB's line back toward the middle of November, 2005. Don't let that deter you though, I've been given to understand that I made a rather complex, and thus, difficult costume to draw

But Names like "Thors Kid Sister" are amazingly easy to snag and use to help ruin his image

Badging in a PvP zone?

If you are treasure hunting on a battlefield wearing an enemy uniform, there is a high probability that you will be attacked.
