This group has been archived by its founder. It may still be viewed, but can no longer be joined or posted to.

I've been really struggling with depression and motivation lately. It's made getting through commissions a slog, so starting becomes something I just completely dread. Obviously as a freelancer on a fixed income, this isn't an ideal situation. I'd like to work on some things just for the pleasure of working on them to serve as warm-ups for my actual work routine. I want to do something in my wheelhouse that I'm comfortable with, that I would find fun to work on. (Muzzles are great and all, but human faces? *kisses fingertips*)

So, without further adieu, here are the rules:
  • You may submit as many characters as you want for consideration, but you will only receive one portrait if chosen.
  • These are not first come, first served. I will pick designs that I am most interested in rendering.
  • Icons cannot be resold or transferred with designs. They are a gift, not something to profit on.
  • Human-faced characters only - elves, demons, etc. are okay. No anthros.
  • No anonymous characters, to prevent people from double dipping.
  • No minors/characters under 18.
  • Fill out the form below and reply to this thread.
  • I will post works here as they are completed. Threads are cross-posted on other forums and final products may reflect different settings than shown here.
  • That's it! Enjoy your art!


Here are some recent examples of the style you can expect:

Happy, if not a little like her happiness/amusement is derived from a sarcastic, sadistic or judgmental enjoyment of a person or situation's ignorance. The kind of shit eating grin you wear when you have an "I told you so" In mind.

Alternatively, it might be nice just to see her ACTUALLY happy? :B

Sometimes she has oil on her face. :)

Still doing these, just slowly around other work. This one's a personal icon for my character Corbeau:

And a freebie for Brinn:

I don't suppose you'd be interested in doing a human version of Damoda? There's a lot of settings he'd be great for that he doesn't currently fit with. (If his face is human enough for you as is and you'd prefer to draw his current design, I'm equally fine with that btw!)

Finally nailed down a consistent style. I'll be doing a freebie tonight or tomorrow from one of these threads. I am also going to be opening up for anthro characters later this week so that I can get practice with painting them in my new technique.
