"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
-William Shakespeare
So,
Derilect is looking to build an artwork portfolio to facilitate moving into a job he wants rather than one that simply brings in a paycheck. What does this mean for you, and why am I talking about it? Well, because it's part of a stipulation on getting in on a deal he's offering and I don't mind trying to get the word out for him, and because it's a deal I know a lot of people are likely to be interested in: free artwork.
Yes, free art from Derilect. Now, there are some caveats, and it's not simply a request thing. He's looking to build a portfolio to show to prospective employers, and while he could do all personal work, he's decided to allow the opportunity for others to be the subject matter. So, bear in mind that whom he selects will be partially dependent on how he feels their character contributes to his portfolio. As such, he's most interested in humans, mythological creatures, and "unique" designs. Not fitting these preferences won't automatically disqualify you, but if your character is along those lines, your odds are higher of catching his eye.
The other stipulation to the free art is that you must give him complete artistic freedom in the piece. This can mean slight alterations to the character (such as adding clothes if they don't normally wear any, or demonstrating abilities not part of their normal character). Your character's inclusion, then, is primarily on base appearance. If you are a stickler in precisely how you want your character portrayed, then I am afraid this is not for you.
If, however, you think you have a character who may add to Derilect's portfolio and would like to see what he may do with complete artistic freedom of your design, then head on over to his journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7635800/ to get the full details and rules, and perhaps will you not only get free art from a talented artist, but you just might help him land a more desirable job than he currently has.
