Sound too good to be true? I'm sure it does but don't worry. i'm really doing this. I need practice and I need samples for when I open up commissions for actual money, so I have decided to start by getting free requests.

I will try to draw nearly everything once, but here's a list of things I won't draw or really can't draw:
- NSFW (Not Safe For Work). Nothing over PG-13 in terms of nudity or bodily display.
- Furries or anthropomorphics. (Animal ears/tail and gijinkas are fine though.)
- Animals in general. I'm sorry, i'm really bad at this.
- Mecha. No can do sir. This includes really complicated/intricate armor.
- Anything harmful or hateful.

I am willing to work from text descriptions as well as image references. Preferably, you would provide image aids along with your descriptions and details about your character, such as personality and/or mannerisms. I would also hope you'd be open for communication; I want to get my depiction of your character as close to perfection as my ability would allow.

Give me some time to do these, maybe like a week or so. These will be done on paper, fully colored and scanned. You may request just the sketch or lineart but in general, I'll color it. After I give you the image, you're free to use it as you wish, I just ask that you don't redistribute or sell my art, and that you credit me.

That should be it for now. Any questions, any doubts, feel free to address them here.

For some reason I'm really shy about asking for one of these, I feel like I sound like an ass

I'm interested. How do you request one? Do we just leave a post here with the request or do we PM you? And with contacting, do you mean PMs through the guild or some sort of messenger?

what @Ammokkx said :D

also, do you by any chance have any examples that you're willing to share? I'm just curious as to what your style is like haha

I went ahead and sent you a PM. :P

@Ammokkx Thanks for asking! Scatterbrained me didn't think of how people would submit requests to me. PM is okay and so is directly posting here! As for contact, I would appreciate it if we could have ongoing PMs/conversations while I'm doing your request. So yes, PMs through the site.

@ayzrules I don't have any examples on hand right now, sorry! But if I had to describe my style, I think there's a strong anime/manga influence, but the style itself is rather simplified. I'll upload examples later if you're still interested.

@Azereiah Okay! I'll go ahead and read it.

@bonegas

Would you be willing to draw an angry stop sign coming out of a loaf of bread?

Name: Joseph Mikkish Callahan
Age: 20
Gender: Male

Appearance: 6'0 tall, body is borderline pale, and nearly emaciated but has a little very defined muscle, still not a huge dude by any means. A scar runs across his right cheek, his light blonde hair is thick and falls to the nape of his neck, scruffy chin and face, bright green eyes. Style is between thug and prep, if you can imagine. Mikkish has a handsome face, but a bastard's grin.

Personality: He does what he wants, and he's always looking for a good time. He has no problems with violence or crime, but if you and him become friends, you will struggle to find a friend more loyal. He loves drinking, pot, sex, the occasional shroom, and a good fight. Don't try to coerce him through intimidation, it will only end in disappointment, and likely backfire. One of his major drawbacks, however, is that he doesn't really think before he speaks, or acts, or anything, really.

I added the personality just because it might help with expression or the "feel" of the character.

There is a lot going on in my life currently, so I'll make a general announcement here.
Not only do I have things I'm doing online (including a comic and two novels), I also have some family stuff to sort out. If everyone could be patient with me and my slow responses, that would be great. Thanks for understanding!
