THINGS TO DO: TATTOO LIKE AN INKY GENIUS

[mishka_jayne]

Hello my love-monkeys!
No, I haven't been infected with the Spirit de Allan Moore. I made a decision recently. I want to share and I shall keep it brief.

I AM GOING TO BE A TATTOOIST! NOT JUST A GOOD ONE, I ASPIRE TO BE BRILLIANT!

To do this, I need to land an apprenticeship. In order to do that, I need a portfolio.
Problem: currently, I do not have a

Will you accept commissions for just artwork?

=^..^=

[mishka_jayne]

Yes, I am quite happy to accept commissions for artwork.

[kittenmorag]

What's your art style like? I need the art for a couple of characters of mine, and would like them to look middling-realistic.

=^..^=

[mishka_jayne]

Umm... a little 60's? (Jenn's description) I doodle circles, flowing lines and curves BUT I tend towards either a little cartoony to realistic. I do like drawing people and costume though :) Could you explain middling-realistic so I know ecactly what you mean.
I'd be more than happy to do some sketches and work out these characters. I think I might be able to help you.

I'm looking for something maybe like this, for this character. I wrote at one point this stuff-

Ok. I have this character in D&D called Two-Stick Lightning. Basically, she's becoming a lightning elemental, so she's got these little sparks in her hair and along her skin, and while she's getting lighter and lighter, she's not losing any mass. She can frequently be found writing in her notebooks (the setting is early Bronze age, so a parchment-and-quill dealy), floating about three feet off the ground. She doesn't wear armour at all, but looks rather like (the guy above), except less 'evil'.

She's a science nerd about five thousand years before her time, if that makes sense.

Oh oh also! She has a staff/walking stick/fetish dealy that has a snake skull on the top, and raven and bird of paradise feathers, and beads, and claws and things from hyenas.

That's... one of them. Does that sound doable?

=^..^=

[mishka_jayne]

Yes! That's totally doable. I'll get my sketch on and send you some scans. This character does sound pretty awesome, just saying. The pictures are great as a reference.

Win :D

I'll be wanting to use the sketch on her wikipage- will that be OK?

I've also got another character or two that could use a similar treatment, if you have the time and energy.

<3, you are like a goddess.

(btw, this is Mish on Jenn's Eee being too lazy to log in)

Feel free to put the pictures on the Wiki provided they're credited. I'll be including them in my portfolio.
As it happens, I'd happen to have a bit of free time atm & would love to take a crack at some of your other characters. Perhaps when we've got this one finished I can take a look.
Also, you are too kind. *hugs*

That's the plan- Wikispaces operates under Creative Commons, so I have to credit everything :D

Can't wait to see it.
