Forums » Art & Creativity » Portfolio building! (FREE ART!)

Hi, guys!

To cut right to the chase: I don't showcase my "art" very often. If I draw, it's for pleasure and only doing it when I want doesn't make me feel productive or like I'm actually making something worthwhile. My hope for the coming year (2018) and maybe even the end of this year is to become a better artist and maybe even put out some commissions. For that, though, I wanna build up a "portfolio", I guess, to show off when/if I do decide to open actual commissions.

These will be digital drawings and they're going to be totally free on a first-come, first-serve basis! I'll keep the filled and open spots listed here, but the details will be private.

I do want there to be some measure of structure to this, so I'll go over a few things here!

- I can do anthro or non-anthro characters and 1-2 characters per piece. I'm less inclined to draw feral characters.
- Being that this is PURELY EXPERIMENTAL for now, understand that the least you will get is a nice, clean sketch bust. No half-assing. Some may be more detailed than others, depending on whether or not my Muse is sitting on my shoulder or in the basement eating cookies and ignoring me.
- I won't draw smut, period. Tasteful nudity or physical intimacy are most likely OK.
- I want to do my best to produce something that you can proudly display, and I'll be happy to make minor changes to the finished product, but major changes I likely won't oblige unless it was a mistake or misunderstanding on my part. For this reason, when you want your name on the list, I've got you a nice little sheet typed up to fill in and send to me! Easy-peasy!

This is awesome! Thank you :> I'd love to have all my characters commissioned but alas, I will choose Ryiah Sendara Bet'Luna. Age: 20's

Race / Breed / Species: Human but with a dragon form

Fur / Skin: fair, not deathly pale, but definitely fair, with cheeks which easily blush. Her face and body are petite, but she moves with purpose and authority.
Clothing: deep purple dress, rimmed with gold and ebony accents which dips a bit in the back, and fits her figure fairly well. She is the heiress to an empire, clothing should reflect this, but she hates impractical garb.
Distinguishing Features (include Scars, Piercings, Tattoos, etc.): a small patch of draconic scales, ebony and purple in hue, on her back right shoulder blade, perhaps just barely peeking from the dip in the dress.

Let me know if you need anything else!

This might be a tough one, not that you're not capable but more because I need to explain it clearly

Distinguishing Features (include Scars, Piercings, Tattoos, etc.): Here's the hard part. He can split his body open into gaping mouths of razor sharp teeth along the jaws and an empty void beyond. This can take place as a small mouth in the palm of his hand to a massive maw splitting him arm into two halves. If you have questions about it let me know.

OK GUYS! I got the first four of you down in the order I received your messages/posts. Depending on how these four go, I'll do another round of freebies and then open up commissions. Thanks guys for your help!

of course, its so hard to get free art so i'm so glad you are doing this

This is very kind of you, I've never had free art before, just gifts.
I have two ladies and it's up to you who you'd like to draw or both if you like.

Princess Catia
all her art can be found under "mysterious"

Race / Breed / Species: Anthro/Maine coon/Feline
Eyes (Shape / Color / Distinctions): Light blue
Hair (Style / Length / Color / Distinctions): Down or ponytail/long
Fur / Skin: Cream
Clothing: Red PVC maid dress or Princess Dress. Reference sheet
Distinguishing Features (include Scars, Piercings, Tattoos, etc.): Catia tattoo on her right shoulder.

Bry
Bry doesn't have much art as she's a new character. She's a singer.

Race / Breed / Species: Anthro/Chinchilla Persian/Feline
Eyes (Shape / Color / Distinctions): Light blue
Hair (Style / Length / Color / Distinctions): Down/Long/Blonde
Fur / Skin: Cream
Clothing: Showgirl dress
Distinguishing Features (include Scars, Piercings, Tattoos, etc.): None or if you'd like to add a Rose on her thigh.

See my OC has always been an arachne female, that said I've always used rachnera from Monster musume. So I would love to have my own arachne character- even if just a bust. So naturally, the details are as follows-


Race / Breed / Species: Arachne/spider woman

Eyes (Shape / Color / Distinctions): Long slotted, completely red with an almost beady look to them. (8 is not necessarily a requirement, but feel free to if you wish.)

Hair (Style / Length / Color / Distinctions): I LOVE the style of hair rachnera has. So something similar to that- a-la a short bob that has an almost spiked, sharp look to it. Colour it how you wish, but I do like the purple Colour, maybe a light red or similar.

Fur / Skin: skin for sure- pale/fair in complexion

Clothing: My OC has always been a cold and calculating woman with a terrifying presence. If you can design something that reflects that them by all means. If you can't be bothered, which I would totally get, just something kind of.. formal.

Distinguishing Features (include Scars, Piercings, Tattoos, etc.): Naturally, she needs to have a kind of arachnid like set of features- sharp edges including ears and nose, the corners of the eyes etc. Though I do prefer smooth, soft cheek bones.

In general, I want her to look deceptively nice- like a spider.. lure in her victims with a facade of genuine likeness, only to then surprise them with her actual almost evil personality.

Thank you in advance ^-^ this is very kind of You!

Name: Lupus
Race / Breed / Species: Maethor(Demon/Saiyan/Acrosian/God))
Eyes (Shape / Color / Distinctions): Slightly Slanted, almond shaped, solid red and glowing.
Hair (Style / Length / Color / Distinctions): Snow white, reaches small of back, often tied up in a loose ponytail
Fur / Skin: pale
Clothing: black leather jacket, black jeans, black boots, white tank top, or Medieval styled royal clothing.
Distinguishing Features (include Scars, Piercings, Tattoos, etc.): a small birthmark of a crescent moon over a four point star under his right eye, and a long, thin scar down his right side.
