I don't know of any that particularly specialize in them, but I think its definitely a good idea for you to get a good one done. I vastly prefer model sheets to screenshots... and knowing all your notes, you're in dire need ^.^
Getting a draw character reference is something i've been wanting for awhile now. But moneys tight and the artist i'd like to do it doesn't do commisions. Shes good at em tho
Wassy - yea, I've never had anyone complain about my set up but this latest piece has really shown how useful it would be... I'd held off a bit cause Fen had several costumes and because there were a couple things I wanted to leave up to the artists view but I think I got that all finalized now anyway and Fen is down to one basic outfit... Plus, if anything, the newest notes are even longer... 
Neko - wow, her sheets really are quite cool!! Darn you for teasing me with such when she's not open!! Grrrrrr...
But that's alright, you can tease me all you want... 
If you find someone good, let me know!
Hm...who else got model sheets done? I'm sure there was a collector or two who did it years ago... *ponders*
Model sheets are pretty standard fare; even easier than pin ups. They don't need to be super-awesome; just clear enough to highlight all the important details but leave enough room so that artists who reference them in the future don't over-interpret them and draw the character from the model sheets exactly to the letter.

I'd just make sure whoever you work with is someone who understands there will be some "back and forth" about details, since this will be the standard for your character. Don't work with someone who hasn't been willing to make adjustments (several) on a piece. I'd think many artists would understand, but there are enough out there who get bent out of shape I'd check on it up front. |

P.S. That is a pretty nice model sheet SN... not taking any commissions though? That's too bad.
That's a very detailed model sheet, though I think alot of those handwritten notes would be unnecessary if the model sheet had a turnaround. You know what they say, a picture's worth a thousand words etc etc.
I don't know if Brandon's taking any additional work, though. When we last chatted a month or so ago, he was extremely busy with storyboards and other professional work.
Yeah I need to find a fan of "The Thing" or something that may be willing to put some time into one for Thornster (or two if I get one for Blackthorn too) ... but just getting someone to want to do his body texture kinda right requires the right artist.
in the meantime I did update Thornster's references by trying to take into account recent discussions
I still need to do this for Blackthorn who is probably more in dire need of such a refresher.

Alrighty folks, I need a reccomendation or three...
Working on my latest commission I've come to realize I have just too many changes in my characters from the screenshots to keep relying on screenshots and notes for references... I need to have some awesome character references drawn up!!
I've been watching on DA and poking around occasionally to try to find someone who is really good at them but have yet to find someone who really seems to do top quality ones. I suppose I could send a few notes out to people who are great at other arts and ask them if they'd do them but I figured I'd ask here first and see if anyone knows anyone in particular... So, any suggestions??
