Hi,

I hope its okay to post this here, but I wanted to reach the most folks who might be able to help.

I love a lot of the commissioned artworks that folks have done or had done for them. We truly have some great artists as part of our group.

I have emailed several hoping to get a couple commissions of an odd nature done. I got a couple “not interesteds” but mostly “I’m not taking any commissions temporarily/now/ever again. We hadn’t even discussed price so it wasn’t because I was trying to low ball anyone.

I have 2 avatars in Second Life. Anyone familiar with SL knows that, unless they are mesh, and avatar is pretty much only varies in size and form of a basic shape, there’s no real detail to them. Detail, muscularity and coloring is usually accomplished by some pretty inventive coloring of a skin that covers that shape.

What I was hoping to do was, provide pictures of the 2 avatars to a willing artist, and have them do “real life” pictures of them. Full length portraits essentially, of them both, as if they were people in real life..

As far as style of those pictures, there are a great many I like on here, but my benchmark is along the lines of pokkuti or Gettar. I like their styles of depicting the muscular human shapes at the extreme. Both of my avatars are very muscular.

Last, I have no idea how much commissioned artworks go for. I’ve never had any done before. So, all I ask is a fair price for the level of work it will entail. I build models, so I have a good idea how much work something like this entails, so I’ll be fair too.

Thank you for your time and hopefully interest. Please use the private message system if you are truly interested.

Sorry for cluttering up the art forum for this. 🙂
