Title: Drawing Requests (Closed)
Post by: Virmir on January 09, 2010, 01:43:09 PM
Hey folks,

I'm going to start taking doodle requests again, and I figured I'd do things a bit more organized this time instead of just randomly saying "yes" to everyone and then trying to remember who I agreed to do pictures for later. [;)

I'm going to open "slots" for a number of people at a time.  Once those are full, I'll close requests until after I get them done.  Note that this isn't my definitive to-do list.  In-between these drawings I will also be working on Crimson Flag pages, the occasional Epic Battle, and other personal and gift art.

Don't be shy!  I like doing art for other people. [:)  To request, either post here or poke me somewhere else on the net.

Requirements: This first batch of doodles here is for people I've never drawn a completed, colored picture for before.  If I never drew a pic for you, by all means ask for something. [:)

It helps if you're on the chat when I decide to draw the picture, but if you stop by infrequently, you can post a description too. Also note that I won't just draw anything or everything-- I'll decide if I want to do your picture before putting it on the list.  For the most part, this is for single characters with one of my simple wavy-line/color backgrounds.  If you have something else in mind, let me know and I'll see if I'm up to the task. [;)

Requests are currently closed! Check back later. [:)

Fizzie and Geary: Approved. (after talking to on the chat)  [:)

For future requestors, post a few words about what you want me to draw. [;)

If there's a slot for me, I'd like to see you draw Kheros, in his usual garb...

I'm aware that you can't draw birds. ~.^ So how would you like to DRAW A FOX!?

Here's Tod's depiction (http://djinni.livejournal.com/199685.html?thread=1907205#t1907205) of Kayton Fox, my secondary fursona. Well, that and the description I gave him. Sort of like Tvorsk's, but with slightly richer, orangier color!

What I'd like him to be doing? How about just having realized that he has become his fursona? (Or that the person who had him as a fursona became him ... aw, semantics!) I say this because I've been trying to think of a good pic to go in the title banner for becomeyourfursona.com (http://becomeyourfursona.com), and all the post-TF pics I've seen have them looking shocked, dazed or horrified. Where's the awe? The vulnerability, even? That's what I try to get at with my stories. I'd like to see a post- (not mid-)TF pic that captures that.

Failing that, have him beating on something with a sword. That always works. Assuming you wouldn't rather draw somebody else's not-foxes. ~.^

Request modified:

On a suggestion from Yurodivy, I think that I'd rather see Creator-Unreal's fursona! He's a one-tailed Kitsune ...

Quote
... with brilliant white fur that had a golden sheen. But he only had one tail, and his clothes — his real clothes — looked old and cheap. A worn out jacket covered a thin t-shirt, and a pair of jeans that went down over his shoes.

That's his description from Help Wanted (http://www.becomeyourfursona.com/2009/08/help-wanted/), the story that I wrote for him. I think that the same situation, of having just TFed, could work if that's what you'd like to draw. If not, I can try to come up with something else!

Blaaaaaast... and there goes my originality.
*sigh*... it ALWAYS happens!

(To not offtopicize more responding to Pon, here's an edit:)
I know... foxes are the most common species in the fandom... I was simply joking...
(Tho, a bit of trivia: In a different realm I visit, I carefully chosen a name that seemes to be fitting the theme, was qute long and complex, and seemed to be original (aka totally failed all internet searches I tried). Years later I found out it has been used, in the same exact spelling, for a dragon's name in some oooold fantasy book. Thus, the "always happens" bit.
And yes... I'm throwing so much information about me around that if by any chance you'd meet me in some other "realm", you*'d surely recognize me on the spot...

* "You" used here as in "any of you"

Oooh! Draw me! Draw me!

More specifically, draw the scene from http://shifti.org/wiki/The_Fool_in_the_Fox (http://shifti.org/wiki/The_Fool_in_the_Fox) where the cake has just exloded in my face ^^

Or, instead, a pic of me having just been flattened like cardboard =D love to see what kind of expression you can put on that!

Sadly, "originality" in the furry fandom would be going with an uncommon species, making up an hybrid, or doing one of those fluorescent colored characters (Some are horrible, with tattoos and impossible colorings everywhere >_<)

Dragyn, Feathertail, and Jonas are all approved and slotted in.  Requests are now closed while I work on these over the next few weeks.  Lots of fun stuff here. [:)

Never the lesss, Ive never actually met/seen many  Cross foxes on my wanderings around on the net, heck I didn't even know they existed as a species till Tvorsk decided on it as a fursona. Still quite original if you ask me! 

Edit: *facepaws* I'm sooo off topic*

Foxes aren't off-topic. [;)

And, here's the first one. [:)

Foxes. Always relevant.

Also, good work Viri. I like the whiskers.

And that being said...D'AWWWW, ITS ADORABLE. (I need to use more variety in descriptive words about yer stuff, I believe.)

Work in progress for you, Dragyn.  May tweak some things before I ink it. (Feedback welcome, of course!)

Kheros, sketch
Title: Re: Drawing Requests (Closed)
Post by: Dragyn on January 14, 2010, 12:25:02 PM
Well, I don't see any of his scars...might just be a sketch, but they're pretty important.  (Jagged edges to his ear, lip, and around his eyes, as well as on his shoulder (though that one's hidden under his fur, and the fur just doesn't sit flat 'cuz of it).

Other than that, it looks good, and I can't wait to see the final.

EDIT:  Looking at the reference I gave you, and the UStream of your sketching, I can see how you might've missed his scars.  Try this image (http://beastling.xepher.net/PE/Magefire_800x600.php) if you need a better reference for his scars.

Okay, how'd I do? [:)

Post by: Dragyn on January 15, 2010, 12:52:33 PM
Ooooh.  Very nice.  Excellent work on the color matching, too.

Hmm...not particularly important, but it looks to me that his hat is solid black, here, rather than just a rather dark blue...still awesome, though.

Thanks, Vir!

I'm totally linking that from my forum, unless you tell me not to...
Title: Re: Drawing Requests (Closed)
Post by: Virmir on January 15, 2010, 04:15:23 PM
Ha ha, go for it. [:)  And yeah, looking at it now I should have made the hat a bit lighter for monitors not as bright as mine. [;)

Glad you like!

Post by: Feathertail on January 16, 2010, 02:33:47 PM
I talked to Creator-Unreal about his fursona ... without letting him know you were thinking of drawing it of course. He's leaning towards a clockpunk-esque outfit, with brass buttons and trim and some kind of high-tech pocketwatch thing. And goggles.

I don't know if you could do that and still capture the setting / idea I had to begin with, but if you want you're welcome to try. >.>b He doesn't have an illustration of his fursona yet though, and while I've been trying to make one I'm not very good at it.

And here's the last one. [:)

Cake Explosion

That's it for requests for a bit.  Going to work on some other things for a while.  The next time I'm ready to do requests, I will post here.  So keep your eyes open. [:)

Thanks for the fun prompts, folks!

Hehehe

The sad thing is, the majority of the pictures Viri drew were STILL foxes.
Title: Re: Drawing Requests (Closed)
Post by: KaiAdin on January 22, 2010, 01:51:57 AM
Aww It's not that sad, just the fact that everyone Vir hasn't drawn has fox Fursonas! ]:P
Title: Re: Drawing Requests (Closed)
Post by: Tvorsk on January 22, 2010, 02:19:40 AM
Ahem? One Wolf, One Cat, One... Something, Three-and-a-half Foxes (Kitsune counts as 1+1/2 because of tail mass). 1:1 fox:non-fox ratio is a very good score - remember it's Virmir we're talking about!
Title: Re: Drawing Requests (Closed)
Post by: Dragyn on January 22, 2010, 03:56:52 AM
Heh.  "Something," indeed.
Title: Re: Drawing Requests (Closed)
Post by: Geary on January 22, 2010, 09:52:21 AM
I was just saying that sense, when this topic was posted, the first thing I thought was "Hey, now Viri can practice animals that aren't foxes!" Plus, the wolf was essentially a fox with a small tail.  ];)
