Artist's Loft

[ApocalypticaGM]

I am passionate about world building, character development, and visual storytelling. I believe that every narrative can be bettered by pairing writing and imagery to create a more holistic experience. The next step is realizing these dreams and beliefs. That's where you come in.

You are probably interested in roleplay or writing in general. You may be a GM or preparing to become one, or you may just be crafting a character you find especially intriguing. You likely have this idea in mind that you can't seem to find online or create yourself. You may be used to compromising with images 'close enough' to your idea. That's where I come in.

You bring your ideas and I'll work with you to realize them. I will produce a few sketched concepts and a finalized image you are free to use. Expect some conversation as I feel out what you're looking for, feel free to provide references (texts, images, songs, etc.) to help me get in your head. I am happy to work on characters, environments, maps, weapons, fashion, and even scenes from a roleplay Basically, if you come to me kindly I will probably be happy to at least give whatever you would like an honest try. You are welcome to post your requests here or PM them to me, if you prefer a more private project.

I am now also offering paid commissions. Everyone who opts into this option will receive a few bonuses for patronage. Paid commissions include a high resolution digital copy of the image AND the signed original mailed to the address of their choice**. Additionally, any sketches produced on the way to the final image will be mailed along with the final piece. Your willingness to support this freelance artist will also earn you a spot on my thank you list, posted here, honouring you for your contribution. As commissions roll in the paid option will receive even more bonuses with kick-backs for those who jumped in early. Just to be clear, I'm offering both options because I love the community and would like to offer up my skills. I also like shoes that don't have holes, so... yeah. Anyone debating on the paid option should shoot me PM and we can decide a price that works for both of us.

of their commission I love our community and like offering my skills, but hey, I also like shoes that don't have gaping holes.

I'm loving your artwork. I was wondering if you would be able to create a cover artwork for a roleplay that I am working on, although it's focused on scenery rather than people.

The general premise of the roleplay is about a group of average people who are unexpectedly(and unintentionally) given superpowers after a bus crash and a briefcase with a serum broke. It's a three part roleplay with the first part focused on the group as they learn how to control their powers and to learn the secrets behind the serum and the two opposing parties involved with no definitive good versus evil between the two groups. Throughout the roleplay, they'll have to figure out who to put their loyalties with as they unmask the history and the secrets each group holds as they try to figure out what being a hero means beyond the superhero/action movie cliche that they know of. If you would like more information about the roleplay, if might be best to PM for more details since it's a mystery for the roleplayers involved as well.

I was thinking of representing the group as a small sproutling growing between two large ominous forces that represent the two feuding groups(mountains maybe? Or trees? Any ideas?). I want to portray a mysterious feel or even some sort of tension between the two groups with a sliver of hope(maybe a light or something?) focused on the sproutling. I'm not too picky on how these things are going to be represented and if you have a better idea or suggestion, please tell me.

I'll sketch out some ideas between today and tomorrow post'em up here for your feedback. The sketches will largely be to feel out what you're looking for visually -- I think I'm with you content wise. People often see the plant image sprouting from something unexpected as a sign of hope, or the creation of something new, and I think adding something potentially off putting to that could be a nice move. Anyway, couple days, sketches shall be shown.

Alright, sounds good! Take as much time as you need. I am in no rush of things.

I am re-opening Artist's Loft. Shortly after creating this thread I was approached with a few paying commissions from a very unexpected source. Anyway, I've set up a more manageable system for accepting paid commissions and am ready to give this some love!

Oh yeah! I also updated the OP with new information about paid commissions. I'll be offering both and adding cool benefits to those down for paying for the work -- an offer I extend y'all as Guild-mates.
