We Draw Our Characters

Numira

Hey Thanks, glad you like it @vender. Haven't done printing before. I could actually take a class on printmaking, now that you mention it it could be fun, but i'm not sure if I could squeeze it in at this point.


Also I forgot I never showed off my second one in that style, but using SVG instead of digital painting. some of the filters could have come out a little bit cleaner, but i'm pretty satisfied.

  

Akri

Not drawn by me, but commissioned Akri and her Baalzadeen! Honestly the artist drew it awesome enough that I'm almost rethinking using them as disposable batteries.

Stheno

I commissioned this a few weeks ago, when the world was a very different place. Thanks to a wonderful artist, I've had something to look forward to. She really captured the Apostate and the Infernal. I can't recommend her enough, or her amazing use of colour.

Reyson, Stheno, and her daemon in the Black Cathedral. More Baalzadeens, more!

Meriet

I've been having fun with Achaea, so I decided to get a picture of Meriet... Here's the tired sickly corpsedwarf in all her glory, with Reigning Dragon at her side. @Adirosette on Twitter did this for me.

I’m going to start sending meriet mhun steaks to help her iron deficiency.

Meriet

Hahaha! She likely could do with it!

Numira

so, I have about three weeks right now with a lighter course load before my summer job and/or internship. Was wondering if there was any interest in commissions- Achaean or otherwise. I'm pretty versatile in media and subject matter. I won't do digital paint (because I'm too new to that) or oil paint (putzy and expensive) or anything like. Lewd. But beyond that, basically the world is your oyster. If you are interested, send me a message on forums, or if you use an Achaea discord server with me in it, discord works too. Please don't ask with in game messages, its easier to keep track and also to send sketches in other formats.

Ryssa

Been working on stabilizing(?) my art style, and just the process I do things, so I can... just get better
Anywho, if Ryssa were to be the Psion poster child. Still no info page on Psions on the website, need more Psion representation. 

Rackham

Maybe not the best spot for this, but what is expected of somebody who asks for commissions? Like, in game, my character description is relatively sparse because 1) long descriptions sometimes don't even get read and 2) the readers imagination is better than anything I could verbally craft. But, this obviously becomes an issue when I say 'draw me please' and the artist comes up with something different than my mind's eye.

If anybody has experience with this dm me, I wanna maybe get something commissioned soon (forums picture is just me trying to be 'casual modern pirate type' and not exactly what Rackham looks like to me.)

So, just as a person who generally commissions .. It all really depends on the artist! If you are a bit worried about it, I will say that the person I usually get art of Adrik from is really chill with text descs. They also stream so you can watch it in the process of being made so you can voice input on things you really like vs what you imagined a little differently.

Generally speaking, if you're going with a text description for your first piece of art of a character, I would absolutely give a nice tip to the artist. Even more so if you like it a lot. The best thing about it is, even if it's not exactly to your liking, if you get a second piece of a character, you can ask for those specific changes that you disliked with the first piece.

DM me if you want the contact deets for the artist I usually go to.

Ryssa

grey scale, Entrance of Cyrene's tunnel



Like @Adrik stated, depends on the artist! When I receive commissions, I do some sketches, send to the patron, and work together along the way to get as close as possible to the mental image. 
Though, I can be a bit slow cause of that, and my style is only finally settling to a place where I'm happy. But there are many talented artist on this thread! And they know many more, I'm sure  

Numira

Text or verbal descriptions are the norm for me as an artist. I ask lots of questions when I'm drawing a person, and check in with a sketch before I use color. I dunno how other people work. 

also damn @Ryssa, the recent art is so good! (and not just because I'm a sucker for fun uses of light) I have loved watching your skill evolve over the last year or so.

Ryssa

Here is @Paux ! Really pushed me to do better, with anatomy and backgrounds.
And no fan girling occurred as I drew this >.>

Ryssa

@Saonji !! Upon the fire plane, in smug awesomeness



And her sword, that's pretty cool

Saonji

@Ryssa I should have said to make the outline of the leviathan a little brighter, that way we could see his happy boi smile without needing to squint.

Either way it's nice! I'll need to get another one done at some point

Yae

I spent a few minutes trying to spot the leviathan in the background before realizing it was on the sword.  So cool!

Tlahtoani

Is ten days a necro?

Tlahtoani

So sorry for the double post, here is sleep deprived artwork I made at 2 AM.

Ryssa

I'm not able to play as much as before, and not visiting the forums as oft either, still doing artsy things, and I'll reach out to those who wanted commissions in time. Sorry for any disappointment caused.
Meanwhile, here's some Ryssa art, if a lil dated now

Action pose study, more dagger drawing




Wing and outfit tests, a lil unfinished. Started with a tunic idea, now tis changed, as one will know. It's more the top right one now.



I dunno when or where Ryssa would wear this outfit, but I like it.

Adrik

Got some new art of Adrik. I really like this kind of cartoonish style.

Eoka

After an extended period tweaking Eoka's appearance to find a desc I really like, I finally settled on her look and had some art commissioned. I'm so happy with how this turned out and especially with how the artist interpreted her armor! 

This makes me wish I could actually draw!

Iaxus

I always imagined you looked like Taric. 

Eoka

My gems aren't merely outrageous, they're fabulous!

Ryssa

Meriet

Holy crap... ouch... Such emotion.

Doriel

Ok whoever killed Ryssa's horse... you're awful

Aegoth

I did it. She left out the smoldering char marks though

Kog

In a searing rush of flame, a glowing metal tank radiating waves of heat ignites to form a raging inferno.

The flames subside to leave the massive form of a magma leech in their wake.

Steam rises in foul-smelling clouds from the body of an odious magma leech. Writhing and trembling
as it rolls about on the ground, its great bulk swells and a high-pitched keening escapes its tooth-

lined maw.

I got it done sticker-style:
