Update: So, as some may have noticed i've been a tad slow to get some of the recent work out, I've been extremely busy both in game and at home.
I promise every person on the list I WILL get you your art. I will not abandon this thread.
If I at any time feel I can no longer do this I will bar any further reservations and complete what is on the list.
All new Stuff will be below the F.A.Q and will be un-quoted.
Any previous updates/older pictures will appear in quotes/ in the second post
I've been getting a few requests lately so to keep it fair and so I don't forget any one I'll make a list of current projects, and requests.
Please be aware it takes me anywhere from 3days to a few weeks to complete a piece (depending on how complex the costume, and how busy I am with IRL stuff.)
Working on:

F.A.Qs, And how to get your name on the list.
What do you use to draw this stuff, is it pencil/paper?
I use my computer. I moved away from "traditional" media in college after I'd fulfilled my gen-ed classes and the traditional pencil/paper media was no longer really required of me. ( I attended academy of art university SF, for a major in computer and video game design).
Besides, Life doesn't have a Ctrl+Z function!
All the art that's been posted here is done using either Adobe CS4 or Corel Painter 11 and a wacom intuos 3 9X12 tablet
The work that graces my signature from time to time is mostly 3d rendered work using maya, z brush and Poser 2010 for final composition, and any post work done in adobe or painter.
Other tools I use:
I'll occasionally bust out poser's Vicky 4 to check a pose out, much like you'd use a small wooden artists statue or a live model in college but much cheaper and less creepy than having some naked stranger in your house.
How long does a piece take?
Well it depends.
If its something simple or just a sketch 10-15 min.
a full body shot in full color could take 1-4+ hours from time of sketch till I've called it quits and said its done
I get bored with my art easily and will walk away from a piece for days even weeks some times before I come back to finish it.
If its art I'm doing for some one else I get it done with in a timely manner.
Will you draw my character?
Yep, sure will. gives me something to do and I enjoy drawing the interesting costume combination people come up with.
If you'd like me to to draw your character just hit me up. I'll need some screen shots and what you're interested in (head shot, full body, sketch, line work, full color etc..) and I'll see what I can do.
***Disclaimer***
Since I've been getting a lot of requests I can only do 1/4 body full color items,full body sketch or line work, portraits in line or full color. If you want something more than those listed above we will have to work something out.
Since I've only been doing 1/4 body full colored for free it doesn't feel right doing more than that for free for others. so to keep it fair I'll be restricting requests for full color to 1/4 body or less. I also can not fulfill requests for wings or weapons at this point unless we come to some agreement prior.
***Disclaimer***
and as far as cost?
Nada. zero.zip.
I figure its practice for me and I enjoy doing this. if you happen to be on the Reni server and want to toss a tip to me I wouldn't turn it down. I refuse to charge anything though.
So how do you get on the list?
Since I've been having a ton of requests lately and I want to keep the list fair (and for my own sanity) here is the rule set to get your self on that next in line list.
Option1

refered method.
Go to
http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=64955 ,download Peryls AMAZING screen shot addon.
install it. and then once back in game type /pshoot player, the addon takes the needed screens for you, it's just that awesome!
log out, grab your screen shots from your screen shot folder and upload them too a file sharing site and link them in the thread to save your self a place.
Option 2:
1. Get a full front view of your character, with out weapons or wings on from at least the knees up.
2. Get a 1/4 or side view
3. Get a back view
3b.If you find that your characters eyes are hard to tell the color of, Please let me know what color you would like them.
3c. turn your character and texture details ALL the way up. The clearer the textures are the easier it is for me to get it right, otherwise I have to go hunt the outfit out in game.
If you've got your graphics set low and can't raise them( and I entirely understand), let me know. I can always make an alt on your server and come take screens.
4. Post in my art thread with at least 1 screen shot. This is your place in line holder. It also lets me keep track of screen shots.
You are more than welcome to post all your screens, just please post them in Link form (the Mods tend to come in and nuke images any way)
If you'd feel more comfortable PMing the rest to me that is fine too, just make sure you post at least 1 screen in the thread with a request.
Option 3:
if you for some reason can't crank up the graphics to get clear screen shots, contact me. I'll come grab them my self, I've got a toon on every server called oddly enough... Ephe
