Hello! Welcome to my commision thread, I hope you'll take a look around. ^^ My specialty is dragons, dinosaurs, and other similarly reptilian things, but don't worry-- that's not all I can do! I like a good challenge and can draw just about anything (keep in mind, there is a line of decency I will under no circumstances cross), barring things more on the mechanical side, and my humans are a little rusty. Also, if you're so inclined, I can do ponies-- as in MLP: FiM ponies. ^^ If you'd like to see my work beforehand, go ahead and check out my DA at www.ahrkeath.deviantart.com. Any comissions I take will be digital-- this makes it easier to send to you, and faster for me to draw! I'm not so good at backgrounds yet, so for now they'll be pretty plain. Sorry about that. ^^;

And please, if it's not a creatu or something I can easily find reference for, give me a good deion of what you want! Otherwise I'll just do what I think you want, and that may not be the case! Let's be sure the both of us are happy! ^^

 Now, here's the price breakdown:

Bust: Just a headshot of a character in flat colors, w/ flat or gradient background--your choice! 500,000 tu or good offer.

Flat colors: One character, full body shot, in simple colors only, with flat or gradient background. 750,000 tu or good offer.

Shaded: One character fully shaded, with flat or gradient background. 1,500,000 tu or good offer.

Any extra characters, up to 4, are another 150,000 each-- after that, it counts as a much bigger piece, which is discussed below. ^^;

Once a piece is done, I'll send you a link to it on DA so you can see it and make sure you like it. It won't be available to download until you say you're happy with it and have paid me. Obviously, after that it's yours to download! Please let me know if you have problems, and I'll do my best to help. ^^

Of course, if you want something extra special, like a big group shot or a very detailed piece, there are some things I'd be willing to trade for-- any dye kits or beans are more than welcome, and I'm currently looking for an Albino Ahea for Kir. Other unusually-colored creatu are welcome too-- I'm pretty flexible!

One more item of buisiness-- I, like most of us, am in school, and free time is precious. For that simple reason, slots! :D The numbers don't really mean anything beyond how may are open-- just because you're no. 1 doesn't mean I'll work on yours first, and of course, just because you're last doesn't mean you have to wait for everyone else's to be done! I'll often work on multiple comissions at a time to keep myself engaged and work through artblocks. Obviously, the more detailed a piece is the longer it'll take, but if it seems like I'm taking an exceedingly long time to do it, don't be afraid to ask for a progress report. ^^;

I am currently: Open!

1. LaCotoriReturn- Cayalis ~Started!

2. Bonys13- Ezahni herd ~Started!

3.

4. FallynDreamz- Pending

5.

If you read that whole wall of text, you are truly an awesome person, and thank you for putting up with my rambling! Just Rmail me if you're interested, and we'll go from there! ^^

- safes a slot -

I'm just wondering how much would it be to have 2 characters in a picture? Transparant background or with a plain black background?

Also you any good at crosses? You said you like a challenge xD I would be seeking 2 Dragons crossed with a Wolf ^^

My jaaku DonJuanTriumphant wants some love.

Could I have a shaded portrait of him being all sneaky and creepy? <3

*slot saves*

Be right back with a ref and deion. c: 

EDIT:

Kidding. No ref... But, uh, basically an Orchid Zaphao, though the shades are switched. Like, the main pelt color is the spine's color and the spines' color is the pelt color. Red sparks instead of blue... Hmm, beautiful hazel eyes with a ring of dark hazel around the edges. She could be sitting, holding a well-used pencil in her mouth, with a sketchbook like this under her paw, maybe with paint of all colors splattered on her? She's quite the artist~. 

Her personality is affectionate and excited. She's pretty happy in general, but not in a hyper way. More of an: "Oh, I'm so glad to see you! Let's sit and talk for hours!"

For the background, do you think you could do a light pink diamond behind her~?

 

If this isn't any good, or you need more detail or soemthing, that's cool. c:>

Alright, sorry for the slighty late reply everyone! ^^; Once Lutino approves of their comission (which is done, btw!), that slot will be open again, but otherwise I think I'm full for now just from everyone's replies! ^^ Be sure to check the first post often to see any updates I might add, and I'm aware of a couple more things now that will be added too-- but don't worry, it shouldn't really affect anyone's requests. I may Rmail you individually to ask a little more about your comissions, but beyond that, thank you for the great response! :3

o_o I wish you saved spots. I want one so bad xD Plus I would be willing to reserve... 4 spots and pay quite a bit for them. I need a dragon done, a group shot of 3 done (would give a orchid dk for that), and two wolf done. Guess I will now stalk the thread o_o

Haha, I'm a major fan as well, even of the Classic series; it's the one TV show I'm always excited about, but can never seem to do fanart of. ^^;

Aww, haha. Yeah, I haven't quite perfected them yet, and while I have drawn 10 before, it...never quite looks like him. XD Otherwise I'd totally do it! ^^

Ten is hard to draw it seems. He just can't be captured easily... what with that smile and that hair and those eyes *-*

 I'd like a full color, digital art and transparent background please. ^_^

Alright, heres the diion. :D

Numbers is a white dragon with slim, muscular features. She is mostly an air dragon, and has a light, thin, flexible frame that is ideal more for agility and speed than muscle and brute force. Her body is reletively long and modestly muscular, and she stands about 15ft at the shoulder.

I'll start at her head and work down...

http://www.thewallpapers.org/photo/11053/dragon_wars-001.jpg This is her general mouth / facial structure, but the reference goes no further back then her jawbone and is thinner and more areodynamic. She has serrated white teeth and blank, white eyes. On her throat (not her chin) she has a few "quills" that are metalic gold. They hang down a little bit and run the length of her medium/long neck.

Quills: http://onetribe.nu/images/prod_africanquills.jpg They are like this but are a solid, metalic gold in color. These that are on her throat are about a foot long in size, and are very sharp and thin. She has a longish, slender neck.

Horns: http://music.africamuseum.be/instruments/pic/burundi/ikihuha1.jpg

For her horns there are smooth, slightly curved ivory that are similar in shape to these (but without the holes). They are flawless and thin, and angle back from the back of her head. On the edge of the "twist", I guess you could call it, where the horn has an edge along the sides, there is a very thin string of the metalic gold that redefines the edge. Under and around these horns is a backswept "crown" of quills, again in the gold. They begin just under the line where the horns are. Here is an idea of their placement, both for her throat and crown. The ones along the base of her skull are longer and there are more of them, however.

Placemement: http://socialtearsms.webs.com/saphira.gif

These gold quills run all the way down her spine.

Her wings are feathered with white scales, that each have a pattern similar to this, but the black is replaced with gold.

Pattern: http://www.aaanativearts.com/catalog2/images/economy-imitation-eagle-feather-sm.jpg

The white on these slowly fades into the metalic gold. Her legs are preportional to her slim body and have gold quills running down the backs of her forelegs. Her stomach also has these quills fringing the bottom.

Tail: http://cdn.physorg.com/newman/gfx/news/2006/imageResize2.jpg

Her tail is very long and thin, and has feathers similar to this. They have the same colorations as her wings, but her tail is not exactly like a raptor's. Only the feathers are the same, as her tail is much longer and more flexible.

On her head she has this golden circlet and on her left wrist three loose bracelets with the same style as the circlet. The gem in the center is a white opal, however. 

Circlet: http://www.medievalbridalfashions.com/images/circlets/SilverMoon/SilverMoon_circlet4.JPG

Opal: http://www.e-opals.com/images/lowhite85b.jpg

Her personality is gentle and soft-spoken. The pose is up to you, but I want her to look elegant and regal if you can. I find it helpful to listen to music to set the mood for drawing, and if this helps you then I suggest listening to these three songs:

Kiss from a Rose by Seal

Endless Summer Nights by Richard Marx

Right here waiting for you by Richard Marx

Thanks for all of this, and please feel free to take your time, I'm looking more for quality than speed. :D Good luck, rmail me if you have any questions!

Alright, letting people know I have essentially 2 slots open at this point! I haven't heard back from Hiara yet, but I assume any edits to her comission will be small enough I can count it as being done anyway. ^^

So fire away! :3

Can you draw me a red dragon? I have refs, one sec.

Can you do reference sheets? I'd really love one for this nameless guy over here, as he's my fursona. :) If not then a plain standing pose would be great! It's 750k for a full shaded piece, correct? I'll pay more for a reference sheet if it's possible. x3

Thanks in advance!

I can't see the second ref picture, and I'm a little confused as to where your fursona is...? Otherwise I'd add you to the list. Heh... ^^;
