I'm consolidating my threads down to one account since checking two was annoying and unnecessary, and my other thread was full of trolls. If you'd like to work through the old thread for whatever reason, you can locate it here: http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?103077-Character-Portraits
Now offering character portraits.
Recent work: In thread and linked below
F.A.Q.
Q. How much duckets?
A. $50 Paypal or equivalent value in silvers.
Q. Will you make this thing specifically for me?
A. No. I have an incredibly extensive library of models and textures ready to go. They take a long, long time to make from scratch, and not everything in my library was made by me. Modeling takes enough time that it's not monetarily worthwhile for me to model anything for you, nor you to pay for that. That said, my library is very extensive, so I am confident I have enough that you'll like.
Q. Will you re-texture that item from your proof?
A. Maybe. If it's a simple change. If it's a wide sweeping change, probably not. There's not just a texture to worry about. I also have to normal map, specular map, and re-light everything properly.
Q. I like that item from your proof, but could you make it X colored?
A. Yeah. No problem. That's a setting I can tweak easily.
Q. I like that leather bodice from your proof, but I'd rather it was satin and shiny. Can you do that?
A. Yeah, probably. I have a large library of materials to work with.
Q. My character's hair doesn't look exactly like your proof shows.
A. Sorry. This one's the hardest one for me to change. I have a large library and can show you several options, but the chances of me making changes aside from color, specularity and glossiness to hair are slim to none. I can in most cases work with the bones of the hair though and move it around to position it differently. Hair styling is a possibility within limits.
What if I pay you and you never produce a product, or I don't like it?
A. I don't take payment until the job is finished and you have the finished files. If you don't like them, don't pay for them. I'm not in the business of charging people for work they aren't happy with.
Q. How does it work?
A. This used to work on a revision system like normal graphic arts, but frankly, I know better than you what will come out well in artwork and when I can't accomplish layering your armor and longcoat and greatcloak and pin worn vest together without making you look like you're trying to save money by wearing all your luggage instead of checking your baggage. You'll give me a description, any specific requests, and I'll make my best approximation of your character that also looks decent from an artistic standpoint. If you like it, pay for it. If you don't like it, don't.
If you got through all that and would be interested in a character portrait, send me a PM.
