Okay, as mentioned in the other thread, if there's anything you folks want me to draw...well, have at it. =)
No rules, as such. But I'll just ramble on a bit about what I can or can't do.
WHAT:
I'm most comfortable doing portrait-style images, as opposed to fight scenes or anything seriously dynamic. However, that's just what I'm
comfortable with. I'll consider any scene requests or even mini-comics - after all, I'm trying to improve my skills, which means pushing the boundaries.
Likewise, most of the time I draw characters in simple poses, with minimal background to the picture. Once again, though, if you've got something more
difficult, I will probably try. I just don't guarantee success. If it proves too hard for me, I'll settle on
some sort of compromise.
By default, I'm talking single-character images here. It occurs to me folks might want pictures with two or more characters in them...that's tricker.
If they're just standing by each other or something, then it pretty much counts as two drawings. No problem there, but it'd take longer, obviously. If
the two characters are interacting in some fashion, then it falls under the 'scene' and 'complex pose/background' clause - ie. I'll try,
but I can't promise.
WHO:
City of Heroes/City of Villains characters! Now, if you'd like me to do something else...I can, but
there's a few reasons I'm doing CoH characters. One, I know these are characters folks care about. Two, I'm doing this as something for the
supergroup and our little community. And three...
...if I'm drawing a CoH character, I can have reference images! Screenshots! Which is what I'll need from you. =D
Ideally these should be full body shots, though if you quite specifically don't want a full body drawing, then
anything goes. Either in-game shots or screenies from the character selection/tailor screen, it doesn't matter - but preferably with good lighting and the
higher texture settings (in graphics options).
Either post screenshots in this thread, or e-mail me - acyl84 ((at)) gmail ((dot)) com, minus the anti-adbot bracketing. I'd actually prefer if requests
are posted in the thread, so it's all together and so everyone else knows what's being worked on, but if
that's impossible for whatever reason, e-mail.
WHERE:
The finished images I've posted in the other thread are hosted on Photobucket, and are all 786 pixels in height. That's because of the
maximum image dimensions for a free Photobucket account. As it happens, though, this is pretty close to my preferred final image size anyway.
However, given that the raw images I work on are much larger than this, I can
provide larger versions if you want them for printing purposes, editing, etc. I can also (usually) provide seperate black and white lineart for any coloured
image.
Or if you want something in black and white, no colour at all - that's fine, in fact it's quicker for me,
obviously...and my colouring skills aren't really great anyway. That's why I'm practicing. =)
Finally, images will be posted on the boards as I finish them. I beg your patience if I get too many requests, if I get busy with other things, so on, so
forth.
