First post.
Figured I'd open up with something slightly dated(Since my scanner isn't working atm).

She's one of my stock DnD characters, sitting around level 12. Hopefully the link will work. Just a lizardfolk Fighter. For once I paid especial attention to her weapon/shield, one thing I typically neglect when doing character art. I liked the idea of an oldish crone who was a glorious warlord in her day but is slowly heading for death(Old warriors, ftw!). So she's got some tattoos, scars and gouges and breaks. (Just ignore the stats on the page, those are inclusive of a few magical item stat boosts)

The only thing I'm dissapointed with is the full-figure, which I could flesh out and make it slightly less boring, but the feet look a little weird.

Thought I would make a post here
Er, this is a bit of an old pic, about a year old, actually. I can post newer stuff later.

Artist At Large..
Someone told me I should post my skillz on here, so I am! Hehe.

I know I could satisfy a lot of people's cravings for personalized art (badges, profile/Ref. sheets, and etc.) Therefore, I'm opening up "actual" commission slots. But this time $$$! I won't be charging that much, because I'll let the consumer choose how much to pay, but I will have limits.

Such as.

Nothing lower than $5 for smaller pictures, such as chibis and other miniature ideas.
Nothing lower than $10 for a full size critter.

But I will set combo deals... Such as 2 Full Sized Pictures for $15!

Also, if you wished it to be inked, add $2
Colored and Inked? Add $4

If your interested in any of these deals or would like to talk about comboing up. Which saves Ca-ching! =D Please email me at lovethatsamurai (at) gmail.com Subject: Crazy Panda (so I know to rush to your email!)

Here are some pictures I've done before, some commissions, others are just personal.
So. Buy Buy Buy from the Crazy Panda!

I'm up for a commission or two, if anyone wants one.

Nothing big, no more than two characters, but... yeah. Commission me? Keep my mind off things...

I can't make my rent or car payment this month-- let alone the smaller bills of less consequence.
Therefore, please, by all means, do me a huge, huge favor and commission me for art?

Again, art is here:

And info for commissions is here:

Thanks.

Here's another commission for Natisha... her redcap, fullbody. It's a work in progress, and the scanner ate her feet. Whee.

She's FUN. I like this one very much.



me.

Commissioned Sidhe RP picture for dyrecorn. The scanner made the colors come out really wonky. -_- AND it scanned a bit crooked. Pissed me off a bit. Ah, well.



Commission info is, as always, at: http://nibblekat.deviantart.com

La la. ART!

Another Crystle commission. Same character as the headshot from before. This is her piskie who wears all black and paints her face... and is all acrobatic, and stuff. Yep. Liked this one. The paper was so big, though, that the dinkycrap scanner ate parts of her at Kinkos. Blah. Going to put it behind a cut because it's enormaloid.

HAPPY FUN ART.
This is Crystle's Piskie character from Changeling: The Dreaming, a WoD game.... one of the headshots I did for only $10. Jump on in and get your character drawn, if you'd like! Whee.

I do hope I got her right... all that paint was a challenge!

A Question?
Would anyone here mind if I made LJ icons from their artwork? I would repost them back here and give credit.

Thanks for the help!

I have art from the day before, so... yeah!



Eto from Deviant Art's Troll. Never drew anyone sleeping (from above, anyway) before. I think I did okay. And yes, yes that IS a Brody doll. Har.

Here's my mask-wearing, doll-making Nocker Keratin Jane again, this time colored... a background will come soon.

Artsy peoples look here. (x-posted)
So, I've an idea.

I've got a character in my head that I'm working on at the moment. She's another Changeling: the Dreaming Nocker, but I think she MIGHT be universally attractive to other people.

What I'm asking for is for people to design her for me. Take a spin off of what I have in my head and give me your impression. (I already have things sketched out for her that I'm happy with, but I would LOVE to see what you wonderfully talented people could come up with.)

If I do get any sketches/character models/clothing designs (it doesn't have to be a full picture! WOO), then I'll look 'em over and for the ones I really, really like, I'll do a full-color rendition of one of your own characters for you in return! For those that I think are still awesome for effort or whatever, I'll do a head sketch for you. Sound fair?

(And Lady_dragona... der, I know. You're getting something, anyway, so shush.)

------
Here's her description (I'll be using doll pictures for a reason that's obvious later):

Hair: white, long and wavy, down to her elbows. Resembles this: http://www.rwor.net/dreamsinplastic/balljoint/n002.asp
Eyes: so pale blue as to be almost white
Skin: What little that shoes is porcelain pale
Body type: Thin and willowy, seemingly tall though she's only 5'5".
Name: Keratin Jane

Background:

Jane began training as an assassin at age 14. Not long after, while learning the art of handmade exposives, Jane blew away most of her face (and probably much of her body, but no one knows how much, and she keeps that a secret). Jane took that as an ominous omen, and after the outer scars healed, she left that lifestyle behind quickly.

Joining the sidhe house of Eiluned, she created a set of porcelain masks for herself and clothing to hide the scars, and now is a doll and marionnette maker... with a twist. Her ball-joint dolls can sometimes be infused with momentary life, proving to be great objects of terror or interrogation (of the room-bugging type). She gathers info for Eiluned, and has an extremely uncanny way of knowing what others are thinking & feeling by looking at them. (Not a mind-reader, of course, but just very observant). People are afraid of her-- she's very, very strange, doll-like, herself, speaking softly and moving with willowy, fluid motions with spiderlike fingers and odd tilts of her head.

Her knowledge of the fae court politics is immense, and she uses it to her best advantage. She's also sometimes used as an interrogator herself.

She's lonely, but still dislikes most fae and people, so she creates her dolls and has become very, very good at her craft. She's got one doll infused with what seems to be permanent life... until it's broken, of course... a sort of golem which can speak, laugh, cry, etc...

Clothing style Jane prefers white, though she's been known to add very light pastel touches here and there. Her clothing is a mix of a little bit of lace, buckles, leather, satin, and silk. Almost none of her skin shows, except for her ears and hands, and it's been rumored that one of the latter is a construct, but no one is certain. Her nails are black. Her left long, pointed ear has a silver cap, made to hide the fact that the tip is actually gone.

Her clothes are a mix of Victorian, Renaissance, and Gothic Lolita.

The mask might or might not have patterns of swirls upon it... depends on which one, which day. Sometimes, on special occasions, she wears a silver one. OoOoh.

----

So, if any of this strikes you, let me know! And for those of you who need a deadline... how about the last day of July?

I hope to hear from you guys soon!

much love.

kat.

A question
Posted this to my personal journal recently. Just remembered about this community, and thought to x-post here.

I have a question or three. I have been writing a role-playing game. I need art, and a lot of it. My questions are as follows...

What do all of you generally charge for black and white illustrations. Either line art or something with more detail and shading. Would any of you be willing in doing work for a brand new game (science fantasy setting). As this is the first product I am publishing in any form, cash is tight. So, if you are interested, would you be willing to work out some sort of payment plan, including the possibility of alternative payment (stock, free product, etc).

I also need a single piece of color art for the gamebook's cover.

What I am looking for are people who are looking for a bit of exposure, possibly even a way to break into the gaming industry. Experience is not necessary, so long as talent is there. Enthusiasm and speed with work a plus. Willing to work with artists to iron out a deal everyone can work with.

Epic Level Character Sketch
So I'm playing in this epic level campaign, I was doodling during the game and did a rough sketch of my Pheolarch female, with the Dervish PrC. I just wanted to share it because I really like this community and would like to see it grow more.

( Image behind cutCollapse )

For those that may not know, Pheolarchs are humanoids believed to be descended from phoenixes. When they die, they immolate like phoenixes do, leaving an egg and are reborn a Phoeras, large fire-colored birds.

Here's how I come up with ideas for clothing for my gaming art...

This is a set of court clothes for Brody, my Nocker from White Wolf's Changeling: the Dreaming.
These are JUST DOODLES... however, I think it's interesting to see people's conceptual art, so... there you are.

WHEEEEEEE.

Okay, guys... here goes.

I'm taking commissions again--only this time, there are some stipulations, and my prices are back to "normal."

(Normal being $40 for inked & watercolored single figure, simple background, half that for merely inked.)

The stipulations that I'm about to list aren't because I'm trying to be a stuck-up snob, but because I've had a hard time with commissions; coming up the inspiration and creativity for characters I know next to nothing about has a tendency to make me stumped when I'm trying to put them to paper. In the recent past, I've had to disappoint a few customers because I just couldn't come up with anything that I felt was good, or even get the gumption to start a project in the first place.

It's not that the characters were bad-- I just didn't feel a connection with them. I'm tired of sending people what I feel is sub-standard crap when they deserve so much more... art that's so much better, especially when they're paying money for their own dreams to be brought to life, so... Here's the deal.

If you're interested, I'm currently taking commissions for one character only. A simple background, a pose that I choose. The commissioner (hey, Batman!) does, of course, tell me what they want their character to be wearing, as fits their vision of them, their hair color, etc, etc.

I'll sift and choose to find things that strike a chord with me. If I actually get any commissions, and I don't choose yours, please, please, don't be offended. Again, it's not that your character is a bad character. It's not that I'm looking down on it. It may be that I don't feel I'm good enough to actually execute a painting of them, or that I am just not the person to do the picutre any justice. I'm not taking on a holier-than-thou, high and mighty artist stance.

I'm merely trying to make certain I do a good job for those I'm painting for so.

After all that, if you're still actually interested, email me at emilbasquiat@yahoo.com and I'll be happy to talk with you.

Past examples of commissions I'm NOT ashamed of:

http://www.deviantart.com/view/14053384/
http://www.deviantart.com/view/14700819/
http://www.deviantart.com/view/14490291/ (the goofball on the right is actually my own character. Heh.)

So. There you are. Dislike me if you will... just know I'm not doing this out of any egotistical meglomania as an artist. Quite the opposite, in fact.

much love.

kat.
