Greetings, everybody!
As some of you may know, if having
followed me recently (or for around
the past six months) on the server,
I'm usually a rather avid artist and
love drawing for the community.
Sadly, I've recently had a reasonably
obvious decline in how much art I've
produced; I've even had to cancel
several private commissions which I
otherwise never do. That's why I've
finally decided to try and get out of
that hideous art slump a sad lot of
artists get into over time, and offer a
different sort of deal than I usually
do; namely, I'm going to start filling
up a page with headshots of Massive
characters and go from there! That's
why I offer to you my "doodles and
dabbles galore" thread, where none
of my art will cost anything, and
everyone* can get their character
drawn! It's simply a doodle, so don't
expect too much; I'm also doing this
without profits, so if I don't pick
your request, don't kill me or bug
me to finish a doodle I never did.
*unless the character is part of the list of races I don't draw, or the player is currently banned on the server.
TL;DR:
Doing free art (Only doodles! Nothing will be coloured, and everything will be rough) to get myself out and into the MassiveCraft art community again. Everything will be completely free, but it's also for my own practice and study; so take this as a privilege, not as a right.
How This is Going to Work:
You'll have to fill in a little application. Keep in mind that this is a request, not a commission. I don't have to draw any character I don't want to draw. The character pieces will only be head-shots until I get very inspired and love your character so much I decide to do more. Expect nothing than a possible headshot, though. For now, I will only accept one request per person, and will pick them as I see fit. This is not a first-come first-serve service, this is me picking what I find interesting. All you'll have to do is fill in the little template I'm going to post below, and you also have to acknowledge that you read the rules, which are also a little below.
Rules:
- I only draw Human and Nelfin races. Do not apply if your character isn't such.
- I have the right to discontinue a sketch at any time; do not demand a doodle.
- This service is a privilege to the players, not a right to free art at any time. If you apply for something that I deem as inappropriate or if you're rude in your phrasing, there's a lower chance I'll pick you to doodle.
- Please only submit characters from MassiveCraft who are currently played.
-Please provide adequate image-based references of your character. I don't want a link to your character application. I just want an imgur (or gyazo, or any image sharing service= link of your character's appearance, and then I'll work from that. Please give me as little references as possible, but make the ones you give me be as accurate as possible. Previously drawn art is obviously best.
- Stick to the guideline I've given. You're welcome to add on to it, but stick to the fundamentals.
- Be aware that you won't be given an individual image of your character. Every drawing is combined onto the same painting; it basically looks like a huge crowd of people. I think it motivates me more that way.
- Only submit one character proposal. It would be greatly preferred if it was approved.
- It may take weeks for me to get around to drawing your character, if ever.
- Keep in mind the artwork may be published on sites like Tumblr once it's done. Of course also here.
- I will only accept requests until I am done filling in this current page. That means maybe estimatedly 25 more people can get art, as I've already done around 12-14 characters on the page. I'll link the page.
- The only image you will get of your character is a screenshot of the place where your character is on the drawing. This means you shouldn't expect more than a screenshot. No big HD files. But free art!
