Taking art requests! [Edit: now closed]

Sat Jul 08, 2006 6:06 am

EDIT: Requests have reached 5 and are now closed! Requiem and Leraje, your requests will be completed shortly, please check this thread in a day or two to see the result. Thanks for requesting! :D

Sorry, no sample art to show. You'll have to take a chance on the quality. :evil: I don't claim to be Van Dyke, but I'll try my best - and besides, I'm totally cool with it if you don't like the result and run off screaming; don't feel obligated to post it on your lookup or pretend to love it to avoid hurting my feelings, I won't be offended by any reaction. ;) So, you've got possibly nothing to gain but definitely nothing to lose! :D

Anyway, if you'd like a picture of your pet (or anything else Neopets-related - faeries, muffins, and piles of dung are all fair game) please post with a quick description of its appearance and/or personality.

And keep in mind that these are going to be quick cgs at best - sketches, not big complex pictures. Just mentioning it now so as not to disappoint anyone.

So c'mon! Just for kicks, somebody post something. Like I said, you've got nothing to lose!

(Though I doubt I'm going to be swarmed by requests, just in case I'll set the limit to the first five requests posted. After that, I will only consider doing more once I've finished the original five.)



Mods, I'm not quite sure this is the right board, but since the gallery board is for finished art and the requests board is for sigs/avvies specifically, I figured this is the right category for this sort of thing?

Well, you said in your art thread that you were bored....SO! *giggles deviously*

I'd like to request a Halloween Kougra. (Mine, specifically. ;)) His name is Drechser and he's a total bookworm dork. Heh heh.

^-^

Here ya go:

*cough* Hopefully poor Drechser's ego is not too traumatized by the pink background...I couldn't resist, I love pink + dark gray together. Pink can be a masculine color! No, really... ^^;;

Anything Neopets related, eh? :thinking:

How about some sort of group shot of my pets? They are: LinaDragonSlave, NekoShampooChan, NeoReichan, Souryu_Asuka. Not too much else to say about them.

Have fun!

<3 Awww, yay! He's so cute. And, heh, I don't think he minds the pink background. Secretlye he's a bit of a girly boy. *huggles* Thank you!

Gah, I lost the oekaki while in progress. But luckily, I took a screenshot just a few minutes prior, so I'll be able to finish it on Photoshop.

Just leaving a note about this because the reason I've been using oekaki in the first place is, I need to find & install Photoshop (it's somewhere in this room...), so this one's going to be done tomorrow or the next day.

Here's how it is so far:

Don't worry, I didn't forget the zafara's halo. It's not going to have a black outline, so it will be left for last, after everything's colored.

So far, so cute <3

I'm looking forward to the result.

Could you draw my Tory? (Toryki)

Here's the description from her petpage. (She's a Kougra, by the way)

Cynical, yet sweet. Lonely, but empathetic. Socially inept yet completely lovable. Toryki.

Tory is the oldest member of the family, and generally the most disliked. Her hard and cynical shell serves wonderfully at keeping even her own siblings on the outside, even though a sweet and caring personality lies beneath.

Her unique coloring also serves to set her apart from other kougras. Her sleek pelt is of rich, deep navy blue with flame-patterned stripes of silver twining around her slender form, stark against the near-black. A symbol of a five-pointed star within a crescent moon is on her left hind leg, and the tip of her tail is tufted.

Eeep. This is so late. >_< I got frustrated with messing around with layers and decided to just start over. Here it is:

Image

In hindsight, should've used a darker line or dulled down the colors in the royal shoyru's outfit (which I tweaked a bit, since I'm not too fond of the original design) to make it more balanced. But it was fun trying to get everyone into a 400x400 square, and good practice too! Thanks for the request! :)

Requiem, I'll do yours tomorrow. ^^

Thu Jul 20, 2006 6:33 pm

Such a pretty picture <3

Thank you so much. You are quite good at this art.

Edit: I think you should have this moved to the 'request board,' if possible due to the large amounts of requests coming now... including a possible future request from me...

Wow! Those are really nice <3

I would absolutely love it if you could draw a pic of my eyrie Genvere. He appears to be cynical and aloof, but he's really a softie deep down inside.
Reference pics: Here, Here

If you'd like, I can make this a trade and give you an eyrie custom adoptable.

Skynetmain: I don't know how to move threads. Perhaps a mod would do it, if they find it necessary?

Besides, since there have now been five requests, requests are closed for the time being. ^.~


Leraje: Thanks for your request. Your adoptables are cute! I'd ask for one, except that my eyrie doesn't have a page or a design yet.

Anyhow, I shall finish these last two requests asap. ^^ By the end of the week, at latest (agh, I'm so lazy).

Well, whenever you get around to it, feel free to ask for a custom if you want one :).

I'm looking forward to the result!

Sorry again about the delay, I've not been able to be on the computer as often lately.

Here's Toryki:

And Genvere will be up shortly (I hope!)
