The Subterranean Service Station

Most of the threads here tell you what they're about from the get go, but I just couldn't think of a concise way of putting in what I do, so that's the reason for my title. Clearly you were intrigued enough to click on it however, so HA.

Anyway, there are some superbly talented people here in Mizahar, both rhetorically and visually, and I figured I'd make a stab at contributing to the visual side of things.

So what exactly do I do?

Generally I always express myself in written form before I move to sketching and painting, but the idea for any character I ever make, as well as other people's creations that I read always comes to me visually first: picturing that ogre glistening with sweat just as he swings his rotting wooden club into the head of the hero, the stocky maiden with a wart on the tip of her nose, sneering at a pretty blonde servant girl, you get the idea. So I always start sketching. I work very much on the 2-D plane of things, sometimes I leave it there in my notebook, but usually I ink the picture, scan it, and color it using PS. Occasionally I paint the inked picture with watercolor paints either re doing the inked lines or letting the paint fade them out a little.

So what exactly can I do for you?

Pretty much anything. I enjoy doing full blown sketches of characters, then cutting them up to make avatars and signatures, but I can also draw and color little doo dads for character sheets, your heirlooms, animals companions, wiki pics, or Gnosis marks. These images can be as organic or as digitally imaged as you'd like.

Some examples are in order methinks.

Signatures :

Some full body pics are like this, this, or this.

Filler Pics! :

Watercolors :

So that's about it. Let me know in a pm if you'd like a sketch, paintin' or other random stuff, and I will get to it as soon as I can. As you can probably imagine, the length of time I'll have to put into your request will vary from person to person, but I look forward to expanding my skills and contributing to the artistic community here in Mizahar. Thanks!

Wow. These are amazingly awesome art attacks! You can definitely expect a PM about it from me at some point in the near/far/wherever you are future. I think you'll do great things here.

They are absolutely fantastic! I especially love the final one, as you can see it's already in. I may even rotate them. Thank you so much Sliver, I love your art style so much, and these exceeded my expectations. Thank you again

I have to say that one was my favorite as well (That's why I put it on the bottom, teehee) Glad you like 'em!

Alright Pa'haite, I realize that we still haven't actually fleshed out the precise negotiations of our art trade, but I was just so excited to water color a Konti that I couldn't help myself.

Pa'haite :

Feel free to be like: "This does not meet my request you insolent knave! Now go fetch me another more suitable image for my scarf bearing little girl!" I swear I won't mind

AAAAHHHH!!!
(≧∇≦)
She's so cute! It's perfect and wonderful and Ah I have no words!
I Love The colors and the scarf and everything about it!

Oh! Can I have one like Pa'haite!? Hehe the full body one, and feel free to use her current body, the body of a child between the ages of 7-9, as the model

. If you could add some cool fire to it I would be in love XD. Oh and maybe her familiar and staff? Thank you!

by **Sliver** on July 26th, 2012, 9:57 pm

I'm super happy you like it Pa'haite!

And I think I can do all of the things you have asked Evalin, painting fire is gunna be fun

. One question for you. Would Evalin still be in her philtering garb, or some sort of robes? Or would she be in children's clothes?
