Looking For Commission
Talnar, you might have more luck in the Screenshots & Fan Creations section of the forums, though I'm not sure if any of the better artists will spring for in-game currency to do so, of course. Pretty much the only Victoryite I know of that does art and is in this section at all is Lousy Day, and he doesn't post too much. He's a good artist, though.
You'll probably also want to see the artist's style ahead of time, to know they have a look you like.

ya but the big thing is i only realy play on victory so i can only realy pay them at that price on victory . but ya i want to check out what they are like befor hand too.
I dabble in the arts from time to time. I may give it a shot sometime soon if I get some free time. But I'd need a better reference picture of your character first.

In my experience, most of the artists won't do anything for influence or infamy. Art is their livelihood, so they generally want to be paid in cash.
However, there are free art threads that pop up every so often, such as here and here, and a few artists are having sales right now, so check out this thread and click this guy's sig.
To give an example of what you can get for cheap, I just got this for less than $20:

I've already forgotten about most of you
I do like that art, and have sent him a message. but lets see what happens **evil villain smile**. now time for cookies
Gonna echo Viv's comments. Artists generally view their work as...well work. As in the expect to get paid for it. This shouldn't in anyway discourage you from commissioning an artist though. There is an artist out there for every budget.
You can't discuss/negotiate prices on CoH forums, but if you look you can easily find a few folks to ask regarding artists and their price ranges.
Same person did a nice render of my scrapper as well. Was actually a free one which is always better Came out really nice and makes him look a hell of a lot cooler than he is to play No link on hand though.

Hmmm... almost makes me want to pony up the cash to get pictures done of my characters...

Below is one (of many by various artists) I had done of my main, in this case done by CelticBolt (his deviantART page can be found here: http://celticbolt.deviantart.com/). When I had this done, his commissions were VERY reasonable, especially considering the consistent high quality. There are lots of other artists on dA who regularly do superhero commission work, too.

I like the celtic bolt one a little more, but they are both good. as for spending money you could always try to pay for it with inf like i did. for what i wanted it looks like it may have costed me around 140 CaD so ya infamy is too much to carry anways
Eh. Cash is the universal gift certificate.

Yeah, ditto.
That last one was REALLY good.
Both pics look very good. I'm just curious is Dark Jedi still doing commisions? I wouldn't mind getting lady panzer immortilized. I'll pay in maple syrup. jk

i would like to the desk to have magic bits like bottles, crystal ball and err magic looking bits. 3 fire imps in the pic, but black rather then red and more guild war-ish. maybe one or 2 other things but nothing major.
If you would like to take it apon your self to do this comission i can varify that i have the infamy for you. hope to hear from you soon
