[CLOSED] Jester's Squishy Commish Thread~!

-- Updates --

UPDATE 12/01/13 This thread is officially closed, I will not be accepting any more commissions! Thank you all for the opportunity to draw new things and try new techniques, the improvement has been unbelievable. Thank you for your patronage, Spiral Knights, see you later!

-- Original Post --

Who are you? D:<
Hallu halluuuuu! I'm Jester! I've been drawing digitally for 8 months now, starting with drawing Spiral Knights! I adore the art style (sometimes it's the only reason I still logged on) and want nothing but to constantly improve, and you're all gonna help me with that! I specialize in character portraits or group portraits, but, whatever you need, I'm open to trying new things!

Commishesssss!
Now, on to the juicy bits! (lol =D )
Here are the types of commissions I fulfill:

200CE- BASIC PRE-LINEWORK SKETCH
+80CE per additional person or Sprite
This is just going to be my "easy access to art"/"stress relief" commission section. If you want a sketch, it's 200CE, but every person in the sketch after the first only costs 80CE, so buddy up! Note, however, that multiple people in a sketch may overlap and cover parts of eachother. Group sketches are not what you should go for if you want multiple full-body sketches. These may come in color, I have yet to add a sample of light color-shading. The backgrounds will always be white or transparent (.PNG format), your choice.
Vinnydime's Sketch
Sketch Sample 1
Sketch Sample 2
More sketches to come!

800 CE - CHARACTER PORTRAIT
+400CE per additional person, +250CE per Sprite, +400CE for intricate background, +???CE Animated BG*
This is basically a full art, fully-lined and colored character portrait. I may ask you to send reference pictures or describe your knight's loadout before I draw them. You may request any sort of variation to the armor (I want a bright-pink pith helm!) and any pose. The standard comes with either no background or a very simple one, which can range from a character introduction to a close up to a simple gradient. More complex backgrounds go around ~400CE for me (I suck at backgrounds, they take forever) but the price is negotiable depending on what it is.
Character Portrait Sample 1
Character Portrait Sample 2
Ieast Commission
Mawashimono Commission
Jeanette Commission
Vinnydime Commission
Painting Sample 1
Tevokkia Commission
More Character Portraits to come!

* Lizzi's Shack of Magical Animation! +100-750CE Animated Background!
I didn't know you featured guest-stars! Neither did I- errhem. I'm lucky enough to work with a partner who knows her way around Photoshop well enough to smack some koo' shwags' onto some of my commissions! She specializes in animated backgrounds, occasionally dabbling in animating characters. If you would like an animated background, include it in your request and we'll figure something out!
Blinking eyes - 100CE
Rain - 250CE
Glowing effects - 500CE
Lightning - 750CE

Also, could you visit her Deviantart for me? It's amaaazeeeeng, I promise!

Well, that's all I got. I'll update this OP regularly, so be sure to check back! I look forward to doing business with all of you!

Hehe I'm glad you like it!

@Mawashimono
I'm not that great with drawing people, but I'll give it a shot! I'll work on it next time I'm free!

Tevokkia

I'd like to make an order!

I'd like to see about getting a commission of Sol and I, with his knight giving/offering mine a flower (any kind, can be based on something in-game, but doesn't have to be) in the character portrait style. Any of the costumes here are find to do.

Would 2k ce be alright for it?

Yuppers! *O* I'll work on it when I get some time!
I hope Sol's been working out, he's about to give you the biggest of flowers!

Okay! Should I send you the payment now, or ... ?

Well, I guess 500 CE isn't too bad...

I guess a colored portrait would be good...

Replies, Replies, and a sketchy for Mawaa!

@Tevokkia
You can pay at any time :D I'm either going to start sketching you tomorrow (most likely scenario) or next weekend by the latest. I'll post again when I start, if you want

@Vinnydime
Yuppers! I can't see the link, I don't have a Tumblr account :C

@Mawashimonooo
I'm not tooo good with anthros, so I'm not sure if this is "dragon-princess-y" enough for you D:
Mawa sketch
Tell me if anything's up so I can fix it before colouring :D

Mayaura

OMG - I luv it

i don't need much of a background. Is it possible to write "Mawashimono ~ The Dragon Princess" in the character portrait? I'm planning on paying 800 ce. I hope that's the right price . . .

Jes-Turr

No more tears, only replies. ; A ;

@Mawashimono
I'm glad you like it! It took kind of a long debate with some friends to figure out how "anthro" I could make it without destroying my own comfort zone. z_z Anyways, the amount you posted should be more than enough! Words shouldn't cost anything extra. I'll get this thing colored as soon as I can!

Sun, 09/29/2013 - 08:07

#12

Feline-Grenadier

Oh my!

After seeing Mawashimono's sketch, is it okay if you can go through the trouble of making mine's in a similar fashion (though, without the words)? I'll shove in 300 more CE for compensation.

If you can't, I'll wait until next time you're open. Is that alright?

All the replies! Err'wherr!

@Vinnydime
Of course I can! I just want to clarify a few things though: You mean humanoid or anthro? And is this in addition to your previous commission, or in replacement? I should also ask what gender you want it in. (Or I could make it an ant huehuehuehuehuehuehue /shot)

Ho-hum!

Though you're probably in the middle of education and whatnot, I'll give a bump for more customers.

Hint : Art at this quality is ridiculously cheap. ASK FOR A COMMISSION WHILE HE'S STILL OPEN.

Commissionnnnnn~! Also some replies replies.

@Mawashimono
Your Commission is done! I will post it when I receive payment!

@Tevokkia
Your sketch is coming along nicely, I should have it finished before next week, if not have already started coloring it!

@Mawashimono
Enjoy! Believe it or not, this was like, the 4th or 5th time I tried drawing a human-ish person thing on my own ;_; Let alone coloring. Let me know what you think!

@Tevokkia
Your sketch should be done soon! Do you want a preview or do you want to keep it a surprise?

Tue, 10/01/2013 - 21:20

#20

Tevokkia

^.^

Either is fine with me. If you particularly want approval before you begin coloring, bring it on (I always save any sketches I'm shown along with the finished product), but a surprise is always nice, too. :)

#21

Feline-Grenadier

And so I did previously request just that.

However, after seeing you sketch Mawa's character...

I'd still like you to draw my in-game account, but also more humanized like Mawashimono's character. Is that fine with you? If it's too much, I'll be content with the previous order.

I'm glad you like it! It was fun to draw!

@Tevokkia
How about a compromise? ;D I'll show you half the sketch with you in it, and you can try and figure out what the heck Sol is doing on the other side!

@Vinnydime
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! >8U
I'll draw anything I'm asked to (as long as it's PG-13 among other small unmentioned caviots huehuehuehuheuheuheuheu>w> )

@Thinslayer
Thanks for the compliment! I mistook your previous comment for Vinny's D: ALL THE EMBURUSSSSS.

@Agazide
Woaahhh ninja comment! :0 Thanks for the kind words doood :{D

I'm gonna be slowing my thread down a bit, as my classes have decided all on their own to speed up. Also, my tablet pen's eraser died, gonna have to get a new one. :\ I'll still work on them, though! Just don't expect the usual speed I've been at it. Sorry guys ;_;

I'll mail you not one, but two proto swords PLUS 69 crowns, to do a 30 second sketch of a realistic peanut.

Yo dawg I heard you've been doing commisions.

I think that's pretty dang awesome and all, but I'd like to ask.

Would it be possible for me to trade weaponry for a commish?

Isekuube

Derp. :3

I would also like to schedule a commission:
Character Portrait
Intricate Background
Special Effect: Rain

I believe the following would be 1,150 CE. If you would like more for the commission I am asking for, I am totally OK.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could do the following things for me. Let me organize everything, because I'm like that. :3:

Head:
His head would be human, no cap or helm to cover it. The face would look similar to the following image. He has a Crown of Winter over his head. (It could be actually on his head, or it could be like the actual crown where it hovers over the head) Make him look sad with a single tear coming out of his eye, looking down at his Crest of Winter. (I'll get into this further down in the "Body" section)

Body:
His armour would be Almirian Armour with a Shadow Colour scheme. The accessories on it would be Shadow Wings (Valk) and Shadow Parrying Blade (Not sure if that exists, if it doesn't just make the colour scheme for it. :3) and a Crest of Winter with Ecmanl carved on the side. (Make the etching almost unnoticable) Additionally, give him a "Shadow Scarf" again, if it exists. Have him holding a Glacius. Have "Isekuube" etched into the side/handle of the blade. (Or just have me search for it. Put it anywhere, just make sure Isekuube is somewhere on the Glacius. :3)

Background:
Now for the background, could you have him clutching the Crest and in his other hand striking a flag into the the ground with the words "Advent Children" on it. Take any artistic liberties with the design/emblem/font/crest. The background would be set in a graveyard, with several wispy ghosties behind him.

Additional Information:

~Player Colour: Violet (Darkfire :3)
~I currently have 900 CE right now, I will be grinding for that extra 300 CE ASAP. ^.^
~IGN: Isekuube

Things I've Added:
~Choice to choose whether to put the crown on his head or hover like it normally does.
~Added more about Glacius
~Changed prices. :3

---------------------------------

If you have anymore questions about the commission, please do not hesitate to contact me IG. I will send mail back to you ASAP, or contact me here on the forums. :3 Again, thank you so much for taking the time for such a HUUUGE commission such as this one.

Comish for Tev? A large influx of REPLIES ought fix that~!

@Sintag
Eeeeeeghhhhh.... What did you have in mind? Generally speaking, I'm going to have to decline, sorry :\

@Tevokkia
My Recycle Bin is littered with thousands of different poses and sketches! This is the only one that made it. Sorry it took so long!

@Vinnydime
I'll start your sketch now xD Sorry, I did say I would slow down. I have a few midterms in the next two weeks and I have to work on dat artivity of the paranormal type, if yaknows whats I meansies :DD

@Crimson-Sapphire
Yuppers! Tell me when you get any more info!
Erm, those three are 1,150CE (500 + 400 + 250) :U
Don't haggle with me :U I've been to China!

Derp. :3

Haha. Alrighty then. I guess I messed up on my math. I guess I'll have to grind for 300 extra CE. Oh well. Since I have one commish in front of me that's fine. I appreciate teh time you're gonna put into this. ^^

Thanks so much! I love it! And it's alright about the time. I know you're busy since school started. (I am a little confused that you did a painting, though, rather than a portrait)

No, it's fine. I just really like your portrait style, though, so I may order another commission another time when I have money again.

Jes-Turr

Whop whop whop (~o3o)~

@Tevokkia
Most of them were, unfortunately, either deleted or lost to some huge file corruption that ate all my SAI files alive D:
But I do still have a few! :D
I don't exactly know why I didn't like this one, but in hindsight I would've liked to work on it a bit more xD
So I tried again with the same costume but severly overestimated the shrink rate of "Extra Short." lolchildtev

Hey there! I'd love to get a character portrait!

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=183456900 this is perhaps the best reference I have at the moment (I'm Jeanette!) though if you'd like I can take some more.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to have my baby Drakon nestled on the non-sniped side of my hat taking a nap, while I clean my gun.

My full load out is:

Sniped Stranger Hat(Grey Heavy Long Feather attached)

Vog Cub Coat(Predator Crest and Love Aura attached)

Wise Owlite Shield

Dread Venom Striker

Argent Peacemaker.

Just let me know how much you think that's worth and I'll get it to you ASAP! Thanks in advance!

This is a reply~! Comishies are congested!

@Jeanette
Yuppersss! Sounds fun! I don't think I need any other snaps, the description is fine!
That should come around 750CE :D It may take a little while to get out though, between the other comishes and life (No on likes you, life!) but I'll try and get working on this ASAP :D

@ALL
My current comish queue (Qeueu? Queueueueu?) is currently full! If you would like a commission, I'll have to decline until I can fulfill my current outstanding commissions! Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope I can hop back up soon!

#49

Feline-Grenadier

Suggestions coming up!

Chains are good, though I'd like it if there were more chains wrapped tightly around the blade, as if they were restraining it's power.

As for the face, the way I pictured his face was...

...well...more androgynous, and younger. Heck, make "Vin" here a girl if you want XD. I depicted him in several stories as having more of a boy-ish look to him. Also, underneath the hood, I'm noticing something on the guy's forehead. Is that a headband or something...?

Rest of the piece is fine, though. Really love how you added the sheath and made the left arm seem like it's viable as a sort of armor.
