    Hey everyone!

    Long time lurker but since I got a question I decided to come out and say 'hi'. So HI  :).

    Anyway…

    I've been thinking about commissioning an artist to draw the growth sequence of a character of mine. Something simple and effective, ink based and only a few panels long. My problem right now is finding the right artist. I used to be a big fan of Scoundrel and Cancuz and I just love David Matthews work. Those, unfortunately, are out of the business or simply unavailable and while there's quite a few talented artists on DA, it seems that most of those are not taking commissions or are not taking these kind of demands seriously (I did send a few notes, but never received any answers… pity).

    Sooo… I was wondering if any of you guys knew of artists available for commissions? Like I said, I'm not looking for something too complicated. Simple growth of both breasts and muscles, most likely getting out of hand near the end ( ;D ). No real setup or background, but a good few panels long (anything between 7 and 15). I don't want to spend a fortune on such a commission since I already did spend a good deal on this character already, but I'm not cheap either.

    Let me know. Thanks.

    I love the fact you go, "I want to buy some artwork" and sign off as "Cash".

    That's great. 😀

    :- Hum… well yes, I gotta admit…

    By the way, the character I'm talking about is Veldt. It's a character I designed a couple of years ago for the game City of Heroes. I already commissioned a few pieces for her, one from MMOArt (mmoart.com, under Gallery/Color) and five by Reinaldo Quintero (reiq.deviantart.com). Right now, I'd like to give her the BE/FMG treatment. See how she turns out… hehe.

    Aw man… this is something I would do only because I really really need the cash.  But, I am unfortunately not too confident in the art department.

    That aside, if you want to see what I've done.  Don't have a DA page set up yet, just follow the hyperlinked road.

    EDIT:

    I forgot to mention that I played COH for about 2 years before I retired my Hero's career.

    Cashews,

    I neither have the honed skill nor discipline to make your COH hottie come true through the arts.

    However many thanks for allowing us a look into many artist's interpretations of what you yourself forged in the crucible of the character creation screen.

    Given this site I'm guessing she's either a Scrapper or a Tanker eh?  😉

    lol, judging from MMOART's pic, I'd wager peacebringer or warshade (make that warshade judging from the purple eyes) but with some nice side effects on her physiology  ;D.

    But seriously, FMG and BE out of her costume I take it? That'd still be pretty sweet. I wouldn't mind taking a crack at it with Poser, but I cannot guarantee awesomeness, for I just started using Poser and haven't mastered everything about it yet. Also, specific costumes I'd probably have a hard time duplicating.

    Also, my first two fifties in CoH/V were super buff FMG fantasy gals, so I know what it's like.

    Hell I had custome City of Heroes muscle skin textures so the girls could have muscles 😉

    Interesting. I'm kind of not taking comissions right this moment but in about 5 weeks I will likely have some free time to do one.. if you were at all interested. Just depends who's the right artist for you.
    Tho a lot of people don't like stuff I do (they think I do demons only [they aren't even demons..] or they think I can only do huge sizes or I won't do humans [which I have, and do]) so just saying.

    She is indeed a Scrapper. PBs and WSs didn't exist when I designed her, even though the Nictus eventually became an important part of the character's background. She is, for all intents and purposes, a human who was bonded with a Nictus shard, much like the Warwolves. Most of the time she can control it, hence her 'super powers'. Sometimes, however, the demon comes out, with this result: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44796169/?qo=17&q=by%3Areiq&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps.

    Anyway, RPer moment there. Sorry… 😉

    So… thanks for all the answers folk. By the way, you don't have to be an artist. Directing me toward one would be nice enough. Right now I'm still considering my options.

    And yes, that's the idea. ;D
