Alright... I really need to sit down and try and come up with a absolute image, design and color scheme for Gareth. One of the big reasons I have not gotten a Reference Sheet commission, is I have not solidified my vision of him. However, there are some things I do want in a Reference Sheet:

Must be a digital drawing for the Ref. sheet Done on Photoshop or some other program. At least the final product. In progress stuff is ok to be hand drawn if the artist is more comfortable with sketching that way.

At least 2 views. Front and side.

A paw reference. Even if it is stand alone part of the sheet, or part of his pose. I need to finalize what his paw pads look like.

Nude. Well, clean nude ^^; No junk hanging or anything lmao. (Might let that happen for later commissions hehe. I do want to get some mature art with him involved)

What his facial expression is... uh, I guess nothing real emotional, but not really blankly staring. IDK I can probably discuses that with who ever I choose to do the commission.

Scale types... Umm, not sure if I want just plan coloring, or a scale pattern done.

Eye's must be like a cats. With the slit pupil.

I will want some reference to his occupation as a naval Fleet Commander. I will need to hunt down a cool looking insignia for that. Or, maybe the artist can suggest one. Maybe on another commission, I'll have him drawn in the fatigues that officers of the SS Drake Forces wear. The Armada symbol though is a Golden Dragon head that is emblazoned on all ships, gear, equipment and uniforms

And the last thing is, I want to try and keep it under $30. But if what is suggested for designs and quality of the artists other works sounds and looks good, I may go up to $50, but IDK.... have to see how I feel and also my budget at the time.

Also, I'd lke to be kept up to date on it's progress. Lines, colors etc. That waty is there is still room for alterations and adjustments, it should be easy enough to do that with out extra cost ^^: but I understand if someone is like that...
