ideas?
13 years ago
So I've been in kind of a working rut and haven't had much time to work on commissions from folks. Have no fear, I'm still working on all of it, but I've noticed that I really don't work on much when I don't have anything new to get excited about working on, so I fall into long periods without doing much art at all. That sort of sucks for you guys who are still waiting for stuff from me, so I've been throwing around ideas to get some motivation going. In the meantime, I'm working hard this week to get those remaining commissions out to you guys.
However, I've been doodling random characters in my free time. A few of those got thrown up here when I got them done, like this one.

But it got me thinking, why not do a mini series of furry characters in classy, Renissance/fantasy costumes? Most people seemed to like the first few drawings of such I have, and since thats what I draw in my free time anyway, may as well get the word out and get some ideas rolling in.
So, if you have a character, male or female, you'd like to see done up all fancy in fantasy garb, shoot me a note or some such and I'll doodle that. Not making any promises on that, but it sounds like a fun project I can really sink my teeth into as the summer wraps up. Sound good? Now some ground rules:
1. Only one character per image. Think of these as fantasy pin-ups, not group shots. I'm not going to do much background on these, so scenes are sort of out as well.
2. Must include a character class! Think DnD. These are your characters, so you have a better idea of them then I do, not to mention what you think they'd look best in. Plate mail? Leather? Mystic cult robes? Set a theme or specific fantasy/sci-fi look you want to see your character in. I'm more then happy to come up with them myself, but the point is to get ideas in from you guys and get some fancy artwork from me for your trouble.
3. No blatant sex objects. These are going to be classy, proof-of-concept stuff, think more cosplay then "sexy" variations, so lets keep the penis belt buckles and bondage ropes to as much a minimum as possible here. Not that I'm not happy to draw that up too, but we don't want to get too carried away now do we?
And 4. ONLY ONE CHARACTER PER PERSON! Since work for me is getting hectic and sucking up my life slowly, I really don't have much time to do three or four pics like these for everyone right away. These are essentially free anyway, so I'll get around to do them over a period of time. That being said, bring in as many ideas as you want; eventually I'll feel the need to draw something new, and you might get lucky.
So there we have it. I'll be cranking out various commissions the rest of the week, so stay tuned and lets see where this goes.

[Character Name] Elizabeth
[Species] Red Panda
[Gender] Herm
[Visual Reference] http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7726703/ (NSFW, on the Mature side)
[Character Class] I've always thought highly of Paladins!
[Garb] I'm going to go with armor for her, and I'm thinking plate mail of some sort. Weaponry..well, she would probably veer more towards short swords, maybe a hefty mace.
And I'll have to keep my eye on you in the future for commissions, no doubt about it. ^ ^
