I've been really struggling with depression and motivation lately. It's made getting through commissions a slog, so starting becomes something I just completely dread. Obviously as a freelancer on a fixed income, this isn't an ideal situation. I'd like to work on some things just for the pleasure of working on them to serve as warm-ups for my actual work routine. I want to do something in my wheelhouse that I'm comfortable with, that I would find fun to work on. (Muzzles are great and all, but human faces? *kisses fingertips*)

So, without further adieu, here are the rules:
  • You may submit as many characters as you want for consideration, but you will only receive one portrait if chosen.
  • These are not first come, first served. I will pick designs that I am most interested in rendering.
  • Icons cannot be resold or transferred with designs. They are a gift, not something to profit on.
  • Human-faced characters only - elves, demons, etc. are okay. No anthros.
  • No anonymous characters, to prevent people from double dipping.
  • No minors/characters under 18.
  • Fill out the form below and reply to this thread.
  • I will post works here as they are completed. Threads are cross-posted on other forums and final products may reflect different settings than shown here.
  • That's it! Enjoy your art!


Here are some recent examples of the style you can expect:

Wolfric (played by Marie)

Character Name: Wolfric
Character Age: Technically 19, but he honestly looks more like he's around 23-25 because he's just a Very Big Boy.
Character References: https://www.rprepository.com/images/gallery/gl-1413335-1550736738.jpg - It's a photo edit I did, so not technically art but! The best I have for the moment.
A better look at who he's modeled after. I genuinely prefer seeing how artist stylize characters from fc's, I don't want a carbon copy <3
Mood: He's kind of playful and full of wonder which I think is neat to play with considering his build and general look. Not your typical angery big man.
Oh my gods, your art is incredible! Okay, let's see here... I would love to see one of these three in your style. If they don't interest you, anyone else in my gallery outside of Lucreine and Alistaire (they don't have any art references yet) is up for grabs!

Character Name: Lexi
Character Age: 27
Character References: Lexi's Gallery
Mood: Sly or Cheeky. Are those moods? If not... Playful. (Crap-eating grin included, if that suits you.)

Character Name: Maxwell
Character Age: 36
Character References: Maxwell's Gallery (Disregard the chin on the first picture, since it's not that sharp. He has more of an oval shaped face.)

Character Name: Merrin
Character Age: 20
Character Reference: Gallery (Her specific gallery is the first one listed.)

Maybe this gremlin will interest you?

Character References: Her RPR profile on here is a bit bland, but I guess this will do her justice. I loosely base her around the face claim of Wylona Hayashi if that's helpful too!
Mood: Angry-bored? Like you know the type like ... "If these people don't shut up anytime soon, I'm about to throw hands?" That type of mood I guess.
I hope you're able to get out of your slump soon! A bitter, unlicensed doctor for your consideration:

Mood: Sad, she's always been a sad faced character, not teary eyed but certainly sombre. I designed her while listening to Sally's song from nightmare before Christmas.

( I tried copying the link of the first picture on my phone and could not I am sorry!)

This looks awesome!!!
Edit: Was able to fix it.
Bitsie Rosevale (played by MercyInReach)

Omg this is so great! Thanks for this opportunity, I love your art style!



Character Name: Bitsie Rosevale
Character Age: 22

This is the only art piece I have for her, and she doesn't have a face claim.
https://www.rprepository.com/images/gallery/gl-1419824-1553668837.jpg (accurate color and hair style wise, but not accurate face shape wise.)

Bitsie has dark reddish brown skin with scattered patches of lighter brownish/pink skin all over her body due to Vitiligo. She has a specific patch underneath her left eye, along her right cheek, and a large section of it along her left jawline and partial cheek.

She has long teal/turquoise hair that is curl and side shaved on the left with most of her hair parted to the right and a long curl of hair at the bottom front of her side shave.

Her eyes are a mixture of honey and gold yellow, wide, expressive.

Her face is heart shaped, chubby with a bit of a double chin.

She has a defined cupids bow of her top lip, but her bottom lip is plumper.

Her nose is little wide with a slight upturn. She has a septum piercing that is a silver circular barbell.

Her ears are about 2-3 inches longer than regular humans, curving back and slightly down.

Mood: Sweet/soft happiness
