Striking fear into the hearts of the weak.



Hello, mortals! I'm not exactly a graphics wizard but I do pride myself on at least producing some quality art on occasion. I tend to be selfish and make things for myself, but since my graphics shop on my RP forum, well, doesn't see any requests, I figure it won't hurt to bring my prowess to you.

I mainly work on simple signatures and avatars, like many other artists out there, so don't expect much else. My sprite-work is really shoddy and I /hate/ how time-consuming animation is. So look below for some art examples.

Some Examples (click to showhide)

So before you spring at me with a request, I'm layin' down a few rules for you. I'll know if you haven't read them so please don't skip right to the request form.

Request Rules
1 - I'll only be taking two requests at a time because I have to balance work on my RP site and my muse for making art may wane.
2 - BE PATIENT. I can either work like a mad Transformer or be as lazy as all hell; also I may not like what I've worked on and trash it, and then get pissy and shun GIMP for the night.
3 - The only input I let people have on their graphics is text. That's right. I hate having to try and work to a certain outcome, so I ask that you let me have my artistic freedom and try to enjoy what I make for you.
4 - Reading is so important these days. If you put , THEN YOU ARE ILLITERATE. "The world revolves around ."
5 - Try to wait a while before requesting again. Other people like to request stuff too. ;O;
6 - When the Requests list has an empty slot but reads 'Closed', respect it! I don't want to be overwhelmed by a stream of requests and end up unable to create anything decent. Check back until it reads open and submit your request then. ;3
7 - After about a week, your completed request(s) will be removed from the Finished spoiler. If you missed picking it/them up, send me a PM and I'll give you the link(s).

Pick up your request here.

What's the difference between the Type of Art and Render?

Posted by: Megatron Sep 22 2011, 11:05 PM

Well renders are images that have transparent backgrounds. If I saved an image with a .png at the end, odds are when I open it up in GIMP, I won't have to get rid of the white/coloured background. It's a time-saver since I'm not really all that amazing with rendering.

I'd use a render on a piece that has a background made behind it, like the Raviente one in my examples versus the Mincinno sig I'm using. Mincinno was TCG art, which I added effects on top of, and the Raviente sig I put the image of Raviente on the background.

So we just choose one, not both?

Posted by: Megatron Sep 22 2011, 11:56 PM

Type of art is just what someone wants; they may want TCG-style or art with an image on a background, aka a render/stock art, or sprite art.

Oh....uh...err....I just read your request and one's empty but it says closed... ._.' I have no idea which is right...sorry if it's not.

Posted by: Megatron Sep 24 2011, 01:02 AM

I left it like that so no one would hop in and overload me. I'd feel overwhelmed if, after finishing a request, someone was like, "OH HAY SPOT FREE". I have a very easily tripped guilt switch so I try to finish things pretty quick and not have people waiting too long.

I'll still put yours down though, and make a note in the post about that. xD

Posted by: Shinzu Sep 24 2011, 01:05 AM

I see now. XD Makes sense, actually.

Take your time. I don't mind if it takes you a while to get to it or anything, as it was closed. -Facepalm-

I just now saw you had a request shop built up through the link in your signature.
You should be proud of your work I can't figure out how to do any of it. I'm better at drawing and designing characters.

Anyways, if you have the time, I'd proudly display your work!
