Corrosive-Paladin

Just as the title says. I am looking to commission one or more people.

Hard to say exact prices I will pay because that honestly depends on the artist's skills.
I will say though that I do love Pixelized art, but it isn't the only thing I am looking for/willing to accept.

Got screenshots of 6 different armor sets. Am looking to try and get a commission for each one.

Kindly post a sample of your work and which one you will do if you respond please.
A price too if you wish, otherwise I will give a price based on your sample.
Will pay when you can provide a sample of the commissioned work proving it is completed.

I will give this a try, be noted, I am not professional.

some samples:
Defenderknight's commision <-A4 page with 2 basic characters, price: free
Lizzi's commision <-A3 page with 1 character, price: 200CE~free
Thinslayer's commision <-A3 page with pure badarsery, price 200CE+

Midnight, I thought you said you never make art for the sake of money D:

Relax guys, he hasn't decided to pay yet...

@Midnight-Dj

If both parties did not willingly agree to the terms of the contract, then it isn't valid. You did not ask for a fee (let alone make a contract), so I don't owe one.

Maybe I should have said as much, but when I posted my art request, I was expecting sketches, proposals, that would be done for free so I could determine who to hire. Full art pieces were not asked for.

Raigaizam

Ehrm.

I could do something.
I am not as good as Midnight, no professional here, but I almost never have payments. (No need to pay me, unless you wished to tip me 10ce)
My sketches are for fun.
I'll draw you later :)

Midnight-Dj

@thin

No one expected you to pay for that art piece, it was for free to begin with. And the price I listed there is what I considered to be reasonable, I know lizzi was the one who you chosen to commision but I went ahead and finished that pencil drawing anyway. No fee was intended.

I'm a novice, but here's a little something I'm working on for a good friend of mine (for fun and free :3)

I'm still in school so for another week, so I'm a little(not really, just some maths :3) busy until then.

Here's a neat idea... maybe get all different artists too per armor set? It gives a different perspective and such :o Dunno, just throwing out an idea :D

If you like this idea I like the Rock Candy Seeth :3

ooh unknown prizes!

I like the look of the Grim Guardian. Might draw that.

Thu, 05/29/2014 - 16:35

Half done!

Very close.
You have a Proto Shield and Sword, btw.

Examples, pricing.

Still checking here every so often.

Jes-Turr

Eat more flesh!

I would like to get back into commisions and this looks like a fun place to start!
Here are some things I've worked on recently if you want a sample
When my old commision thread was up a year ago, I charged 800CE for a single character + background, with a 400CE additional charge for each additional knight/battle sprite. Until I find time to rethink prices, I'll go with that!
Here are some more samples if you're interested in what kind of backgrounds I can do
Thanks for the consideration, let me know if you're interested!

Jester's arts are amazing... (I follow your works on DA)

Checked after a day and neat.

Checked after a day and neat. Honestly wasn't expecting responses so quick.
And holy crap, Jester. That's good. I have to get some from you and see how much I have left.

Would you be willing to do Four of them?

The Gunner
Rock Candy Seeth
Ancient Bones

And for the Corrupted Paladin would it be possible to have that one made like a desktop background?
I know my desktop is 1680*1050

I hope I am not asking too much.

Jes-Turr

Yo yo and hello!

@Pandafishie
Ahh thanks thanks! ; u ; That means a lot to me!

@Corruptpaladin
No problem no problem!
So the first three are just going to be portraits and the last one is a background? Sounds fun!

Lizzi

JESTERRRRRAHSGDHDHS YOU'RE BACK! I knew you wouldn't abandon us forever. ;u;

And @OP: I have an art thread that isn't open for CE commissions -at the moment- but I may start accepting them over the summer, depending on whether or not OOO decides to release more content worth stocking up on CE for.

Prices are higher than Jester's, so I can understand if you can't really afford one (though I can get you a free preliminary sketch). But I'll add you to the waitlist if you want in. c:

Hey, If you're still interested.

Here's my rendition of the Spiral Warden. I think it looks great.

ASDFJKL; HIYA LIZZI

@Thinslayer
Until I find a more specific system, I'm going with a base price of 800CE (for one character + a background) with each additional character being 400CE more
Maybe I'll have a comish thread up again soon, seeing as I have a small break before Summer classes start! .w.

I'd like to try out as well.

Ello there! If you are still letting others try out to see different styles and such, I'd like to try and draw some of those gear set ups whenever I can. If you'd like as well, you can ask for certain ways to try making it as well (Pencil, paint, photoshop (I am not really got at it so far... need to try some tutorials and such then. example of what I did in about 4 hours without tutorials and using a laptop: http://prntscr.com/3okr2r), pixel, and marker.)

I have a forum going as well with several art requests done with using 4H-8B pencils and colored pencils (12 pack Prismacolor Premier pencils). Pretty much with payment, it's can be free or that you can tip in a way; either by energy, crowns, materials, accessories, weapons, helms/armor, or other.

http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/100863

Also, if you'd like, what kind of style (i.e. in-game, anime, realistic, chibi, etc), weapons/shields/sprites/enemies, and background are you mostly looking for with the sets? I'd like to try out with the Rock Candy Seeth in a sort of treasure vault background with sugar treats, while the Ancient Bones being in graveyard with phantoms trying to chase 'im in bunches of spiked plants. Though I can other ways around the sets and with other things if you want: can try to work around with any of them.

Yo yo and hello!

I'm finished with the first one! This was the most amount of drawing I've ever taken to finish a drawing ever! x_x I can post it once payment is sent.
Have a teaser.

Awesome!

My main knight is Corruptpaladin, obviously..... , just add me up in game and I can just mail the CE to you. If we end up not being on at the same time.

Have some progress!

Hey Corrupt! Just finished sketching the three small commissions if you want to have a look before I start finalizing them.
Also, as I mentioned in the mail, that background.

The more and more I look at it, the more I find flaws D: Might re-do it for no reason.
Anyways, let me know if there's anything up!

@Lord-Tremor & Mrgrey
Thanks thanks!

Viewtiful!!

Again amazing there Jester.
(And thanks to the Rage promos I should have more CE to get some commissions from others now. Was holding some for tips)

And the three smaller ones look great. I might have to actually go get a Acheron to go with that middle shot. Never gotten one. Went straight for the Obsidian edge myself :P

Rainbow V's everywhere.

Naw. You don't have to change

Naw. You don't have to change it. Just do it how it feels right for you.

Also. Curious if Possiblespy has poked their head back in here at all? As id like to get something from you as well for now.

Hey, can you make him dualwield DCPs standing still? (EX: https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS_S4n93phqKMCglYDD... )
And can the background just be a destroyed castle in winter?(Blizzarding, mebe?)
Sorry to ask for so much.......

Anyways, what's the ce price on that?

Sun, 06/08/2014 - 20:01

#31

Jes-Turr

Yo yo and hello!

Done! Thanks for the generous tip, I hope you don't mind me spending some extra time on the background in return!
The PNG file for each character has been sent to you in-game (so others can't steal it), which are completely transparent and let you paste your pretty knight butts everywhere!

@Raigaizam
Sure thing! I'm assuming DCP are your candy cane swords? :o And It'll probably be like 800ish considering I'm still to lazy to play with pricing numbers.

Sun, 06/08/2014 - 21:24

#32

Raigaizam

Yeah

It technically should be DCCP, but yesh.
800ce is a good pricing, I'll pay that gratefully.

Wed, 06/11/2014 - 12:33

So....

How will this work? I mail you the ce and you mail me the picture?
Or will it be publicly posted?

Sorry for the late reply!
I can mail it to you privately if you prefer, otherwise I'll probably post it in this thread when payment is through
Of course, I'll notify you beforehand when I finish!

Raigaizam

Well.

I guess I would like it mailed privately, I guess if anyone wants to see it you could tone down the resolution or something.
