About

Hallo and welcome. I will mostly be livestreaming, offering critique, and doing the occasional request. Also stick around for my course on shading, which you'll find on Livestream anyways.

I don't have any formal background in art, as it's just something I do for fun, and I have a job that doesn't involve art. I also have a keen interest in science, and that influences how I draw. My personal art motto is Pauca sed matura--it means "Few but ripe".

My course is open to all artists, regardless of style, technique or choice of medium; I think everyone can benefit from it.

Shading Course User Image

The Livestream for this course has now been completed. Notes and images are now available in the course thread.

Livestream (OFFLINE) User Image

- Astro-Creepy's Request -

I prefer not to use a microphone, and I've been having pitch problems with the audio anyways, so there will be no audio.

Time zone: GMT + 2 (CET)
Active times: ~19:00 - 0:00 CET weekdays (I might sometimes leave work sooner or later, so I might not start on the dot.)
~19:00 - 6:00 CET Fridays (yes, you read that right. 6:00, not 18:00. I'm a night owl like that.)
~13:00 - 6:00 CET Saturdays
~13:00 - 0:00 CET Sundays

I hope I don't have to mention the rules on Gaia. Oh wait, I already did.
User Image

Don't ask for a critique unless you mean it. Like really mean it. Be prepared to get your head bitten off or... I mean be prepared to have your art ripped to shreds. And please remember: I am critiquing your artwork, not you as a person.
User Image

Be prepared to get your head bitten off if you steal or trace my work.
User Image

I reserve the right to reject starting a commission, for whatever reason.
User Image

I am slow. I might not have enough slots for everyone.
User Image

Discussions encouraged. No spamming.
User Image

All other artists are welcomed here.
User Image

No soliciting.
User Image

Critiques and comments are not a one way street.

Other questions? Feel free to ask.

Critiques User Image

Feel free to show me any works in progress or even finished works that you would like me to critique. I also do redlines, so feel free to ask for them as well. Feel free to ask about the following:

User Image

digital art
User Image

(male) anatomy
User Image

perspective
User Image

shading

dynamics

how to use flash

...Or anything else not listed. I can't guarantee that I can offer you any other advice, but you're welcome to try and ask.

Please post your critique requests in this thread. I will not be doing critiques through PMs because public critiques benefit everyone else who is experiencing similar problems.

Gold Commissions User Image

Price range is between 500k and 1million gold. The exact price depends on whether or not it's a bust, waist or full body, color and the amount of detail required.
The following are only general guidelines for what I will and won't do. There are exceptions to everything of course, but if you want to play it safe, use the criteria below. If you're not sure, just ask.

User Image

Do

o Males
o Humanoids (eg, humans, demons, elves, vampires, humanoid fantasy creatures, etc.)
o Fantasy, horror
o Characters with muscular or athletic builds
o SFW and NSFW (I can't post any of the NSFW WIPs here, but I can link them to you through PMs)
o Well-designed characters. Preferably not based on Gaia avatars. (You can have a Gaia avatar that's based on an original design though, but I'd be more interested in the original, unique design.)
o Certain female characters (eg, Morrigan from Darkstalkers, the character in this banner)
o Some fanart. Preferrably not of overrated or overly popular characters.

User Image

Not Do User Image

x Females (well, I prefer not to do them, but you might convince me if what you're offering interests me.)
x Mecha
x Insanely or redundantly complicated designs. I'll be the judge of that.
x Overly simplified designs. Unless I'm allowed to add stuff to it.
x Chibis
x Furries. Slightly anthropomorphic is okay, like simply having cat ears, but not a full on cat that walks with a bipedal gait.
x Overly picky requests.

User Image

Art Trades User Image

I'm willing to take up art trades with other artists who draw at a similar level as I do.

I don't take real life commissions.

Kiriban Contest User Image

After a certain number of posts, the last person to bump my thread up to a certain number of pages gets a free drawing from me. So for example, if your post is the first post on the 5th page, I will give you a free drawing, and then the person who makes the first post on the 10th page gets another free drawing from me. To prevent cheating, please don't spam or post your ideas in multiple, consecutive posts. If I see it happening, you will be disqualified. You can win this contest multiple times. The first and second kiriban occurs at the 5th and 10th page, and every kiriban after that will be every 10th page. If my post is the first post on a kiriban page, the person who posts next gets the kiriban.

Livestream Contest User Image

If you attend any of my Livestream sessions, you have the chance to win a full colored illustration from me. At some point in time, I will post some questions about any of the Livestream sessions I've done here. The first person to post their answers and gets all (or at least most of them, if nobody gets them all) the questions correct wins.

Livestream Questions

1) What is my Livestream username?

2) Name a user in the Livestream chat (other than me and you).

3) Name a user who has had a request streamed.

4) What OS was I using in the stream?

5) How many computers am I streaming on?

Note: All other artists are welcome to join these contests too.

Hooray! I'll be starting the livestream really soon now. I thought 10 posts was enough to bump it to the next page--evidently not. Oh well.

Do you perhaps have any pictures of her? Or are you liberal with the details?
