Welcome to Gaia! ::


I can probably only offer RL for this! If you'll only accept Gaia Gold, please give me a heads up on rates and I'll see what I can do, but I'd rather just give you money because I haven't liked Gaia lately but I also don't like the DA forums ahahaha. I'm ideally trying to find someone I can work with consistently.

So right now I'm looking for someone willing to work from a written reference for two male characters in a fantasy setting. The character descriptions are in the second post, but I'm basically looking for a coloured, full body piece for each of them, and then a few sketches of them (fine if they're B&W) for additional references of deformities on the one character's body. I am also useless at designing their wardrobe, so it'd be awesome if you could help me out. I could always come up with inspirations for you though! (Also, if you're interested in designing armor, give me a heads up and shoot some samples my way!)
For the coloured pieces, they can be sketches so long as they're clean enough that I can use them as a reference.

Also, this is super important, but I want WIPs so I can make sure you're on the right track and make changes before it's super difficult for you.

These characters have differing body types, so I would hope your art can capture that. Again, the written references are in the second post!

The completed pieces won't be physically posted anywhere else (though they may be passed along as references), but the characters are hella gay so if that's a problem you might want to ignore this!

So in short, I'm looking for:
-Two fullbody images (can be a sketch) that includes colour
-At least one additional reference marking deformities on the back

Things to know:
-I can't afford auctions, so please don't ask.
-I'm not interested in going to your shop.
-I won't pay for art I didn't agree to buy beforehand.
-I'm not going to price your art for you. If you want to give me a range, that's fine, but I'm probably going to choose the lower end.
-I will not complete the Gaia Gold trade before I've seen a watermarked version of the art at least.
-Also please do not be hurt if I turn you down! I'm pretty picky, and I may not think your art will suit this specific request!
-If I haven't heard from you in over a month, I'll probably send you a check-up message to see how you're doing. If I stop hearing anything from you after a month, I will cancel the trade.

Please Post
(You don't need to treat this like a form, but please put the information all in one post)
-relevant samples (i.e. men)
-gallery (if applicable)
-somewhere with your prices
-preferred method of contact (if you'd prefer PMs, e-mail, or something - I don't need your e-mail here, I can ask for it through a PM)
-time estimate
THE DUDES
These are the characters heads up! ALSO if you prefer people as facial or body references please just give me a heads up and I'll find some.

Age Range: Late 30s
Hair: Black, long, usually in a french braid. Some golden strands.
Background: Malaysian
Extra: Golden dragon scales and protruding spine, similar to this and this

The Captured Prince

I can tell you a whole lot more about these characters but this is sort of the essential information! So if you want more information, ask away and I'll deliver! I just don't want to overwhelm you with information!
For la-ela!

Sam and Adrian are partners at OPSI. They are both field agents, which mean they go out on the field to investigate paranormal and supernatural events.

Friendship:
Sam and Adrian generally get along because of their differences. Sam's outgoing so Adrian doesn't have to be, Sam's sense of humour tends to keep Adrian's spirits up. Adrian's good at talking Sam out of his insecurities, and while Adrian is better at making long-term plans, Sam's better at thinking on his feet. While Sam rubs Adrian the wrong way on many occasions, he knows that there is more to Sam than his abrasive personality. He doesn't let Sam get away with any obnoxious or bad behaviour, and Sam respects him for it.

Sam genuinely listens to Adrian and tries to support him the best he can. He gives Adrian space, but he's more likely to invade Adrian's privacy if he thinks it's better for Adrian to let it out. Adrian does his best to build up Sam's self-esteem and make his partner feel good, but he does try to build a few walls between them to avoid getting too close or hurt.

Chemistry:
Sam and Adrian are both attracted to each other. Adrian suppresses his attraction to Sam because he wants to keep their relationship professional. Sam suppresses his attraction to Adrian because Adrian's mother made Sam promise to protect Adrian, and he assumes that dating Adrian is pretty much out of the question. Adrian acknowledges that his attraction to Sam goes beyond physical attraction and is romantic, so he constantly tries to distance himself and pulls away when things get too serious between them. Sam is under the impression that his attraction to Adrian is only physical, and he doesn't realize how much he cares for him or that he is unintentionally too affectionate or too caring towards Adrian.

They are both unaware of the other's attraction. Adrian writes it off as being friendly, and because Adrian tries to hide his feelings, Sam is just plain oblivious. Sam is aware of Adrian's sexuality since he stumbled onto a porn stash, and Adrian can't decide where Sam's sexuality falls and tries not to think too much about it.

Adrian particularly likes Sam's obscene chest hair, and he loves how mussed up Sam lets himself get. Sam's physically affectionate, with light pats, squeezes, straightening Adrian's clothes, and whatnot, and Adrian adores it. Sam will often stop at Adrian's apartment early, knowing he'll just be coming out of the shower, so he can get a glimpse of him semi-clothed and dripping wet. Sam's not above fishing for compliments from Adrian, and he likes hanging out with him later in the night when Adrian dresses down and becomes more casual.

User ImageThings in Common:
  • Appreciation of a good book or film. They love discussing books and films together.
  • Working out to exhaustion.
  • Working at OPSI
  • Appreciation of a good shower for relaxation.
  • The importance of a well-laid plan.


Disagreements:
  • Laundry. Adrian avoids it and would rather just buy new clothes. Sam loves doing laundry, and he loves wearing clothes or snuggling into sheets fresh out of the laundry.
  • Fishing. Adrian thinks it's boring as hell, but it's one of Sam's pastimes. (Adrian will sit on the boat and read though.)
  • Loitering or eating outdoors. Adrian really can't get enough of being outside, especially at night, but Sam just isn't a huge fan of it. He will laze around outside at night with Adrian if Adrian is particularly pushy about it.
  • How to talk to people. Adrian constantly gets frustrated with Sam for being abrasive, and Sam gets frustrated with Adrian for being quiet and/or not speaking his mind.
  • Their height. They're both 5'9", but Adrian is actually a couple centimeters taller though Sam won't believe it. Their arguments about this are usually playful rather than heated.


History:
Sam and Adrian first met when Sam was twenty and Adrian was in his early teens. Adrian developed a small crush on Sam, and it's possible Sam helped Adrian acknowledge his sexuality. Sam just babysat Adrian for a few hours and then was out of his life for nearly a decade. Adrian didn't leave a torch burning for Sam or anything, but he realized when he saw Sam again that the attraction was still there. Sam barely remembered this time that they spent together.

Adrian was assigned to be Sam's partner, and Sam was assigned with the task of training Adrian into being a field agent. They developed a fast friendship because of the amount of time they spent together, and Sam helped Adrian when Adrian's mother disappeared on a mission. Sam took Adrian under his wing out of a promise to Adrian's mother and because he wanted to pay forward the kindness that Adrian's mother gave him.

Pose Suggestions:
  • Comparing Heights
  • Watching television together
    Optional: Sam drinking a beer and/or Adrian asleep
  • Sam fishing (or sleeping while fishing) while Adrian reads on the shore with him or on the boat with him.
  • Adrian and Sam laying on their backs in the snow or grass looking up at the sky.
