Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) So we get quite a few threads here with people requesting a specific kind of art or a certain character or whatnot. While allowing everyone who wants to request art like that gets a bit spammy, there's no reason we can't have a general thread for it. So here is the place you can request art at! Say you want a sprite of your dog or need a sketch of a dragon or want a watercolor - this would be the place to ask. Any artist may answer your request. This thread would do best as a place where artists can gain experience, rather than a place to gain dragons in return for your art. If you want to advertise your art, please create your own thread in original works. - Removed- This thread is for requesting work. It is not for requesting art from a specific artist. If a specific artist is looking for requests, they will have their own thread here in original works. You may request art from them in their own thread. This thread is not intended as a workaround to get around waiting lists in an artists thread. If you decide to take up a request, please make a post mentioning you are at least going to try it, so users can see what is being thought about or worked on or done. If you have made a request and it has been fulfilled, please come back and make a note of that in your original post. You can strike your post through or just edit it to let people know you received art. If you are requesting art, just make sure you've described what you want. There won't be a form to fill out, as requests can be so varied and unique. Also, please stick to one or two requests at a time, as to not spam the thread with your requests. This thread may also be used to advertise for needing artists for a site you are creating/working on. Things like adoptables sites can eventually get their own thread in the adoptables section, but just advertising for artists here would be okay, as long as you aren't advertising all over the forum already. (TRIAL BASIS) Thanks to any kind artists who help out here and give their art for free. ❤️ Are there any rules people would like to see put in place?

Posted August 22, 2012 This is a great idea--I will surely be using it in the future, for both practice and requests ^^ Share this post Link to post
Posted August 22, 2012 Amazing idea. One question- can we put up requests as pure practice for new artists? Hypothetical I.E- I just leave up a request for my OC and artists see how well they can do, and I don't strike my request/after 5-10~ different results I strike it? Share this post Link to post
Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Oooohhhh Nice idea! Maybe there should be a form though? So... maybe like this: Username: Medium: Race: (Including dragon breeds) Appearance: Extra: Becuase everyone needs to know what they are drawing/spriting/whatever O.o Edited becuase of reading fail T_T Edited August 22, 2012 by Shadowwolf6 Share this post Link to post
Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) "There won't be a form to fill out, as requests can be so varied and unique." For a rule, maybe something like no more than 2 or 3 requests per person? And no requesting specific people if they have their own thread; they may or may not require a form of payment in their thread, and requesting their art here is like free stuffs, getting around their rules :| Or just plan no requesting specific people.

Posted August 22, 2012 Or just plan no requesting specific people. Definitely agree- if you want someone specific look and see if they have a thread and what the prices are. There's no reason for artists to feel obligated to look at this thread and see if there is any people requesting them Share this post Link to post
Posted August 22, 2012 Edited. I thought I had made it clear this thread wasn't for requesting for certain people, but I, uh, completely skipped over that, didn't I? XD It is not for requesting art from a specific artist. If a specific artist is looking for requests, they will have their own thread here in original works. You may request art from them in their own thread. This thread is not intended as a workaround to get around waiting lists in an artists thread.

Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I've been wondering for a while if there was a thread like this buried somewhere. I've been avoiding asking for art for a while now because of a lack of one. >.> I'd feel silly starting my own topic and digging through all these different OW threads for a specific type of artist (who happens to have available slots open) is tedious work. Thanks SPS! You rock my socks off! (And then make puppets out of them for strangling.) Now off to dig up all the requests I almost made and come back later. > Edited August 22, 2012 by Chanilove Share this post Link to post
Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Hmm, I make the first request > Really, anything of this character of mine: Kyzaro He can be doing whatever, but he is/was a warrior and as such is a good fighter. Pictures of him fighting an enemy are welcome. Any medium is perfectly fine, whether it's written, digital or traditional. If you have questions or wish to refine this further, PM me ^^ Edited August 23, 2012 by rampaging wyvern Share this post Link to post
Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Requesting too~ would like to see someone do my lotus dragon heres some references Edited August 24, 2012 by kittygrl Share this post Link to post
Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I also have a sort of request that needs a good artist. Chars- My OC, Vamprah, and Slenderman. Background- The forest in which Slender takes place, in a clearing. In some areas, black tendrils are coming from between the trees. (to symbolize that there isn't just one, if you understand.) In addition, a faint static effect would be good as well. Actions- Vamp and the Slenderman in the pic fighting, with Vamprah having the upper hand (shown perhaps by a cut/ripped tentacle on the ground, etc. This part is up to the artist.) Another effect that is OPTIONAL is showing Vamp teleporting, which would be a two-places-at-once deal, with the areas disappearing in the 1st point reappearing in the 2nd at the exact same time. (Like this, but with the lines going horizontally.) ((@krys- this is a free request, no need for eggs )) EDIT- finally realized I need refs σ_σ *facepalm* Here and here.

Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I am going to give this a shot if it is ok. Totally ok :3 Go ahead! Dunno if this was intentional, but I noticed this in the title: Art Request Thread :3 Edited August 24, 2012 by rampaging wyvern Share this post Link to post
Posted August 24, 2012 I would like to request a drawing of my OC Rain. She is a shapeshifter who mostly takes on the form of a cat, or a type of feline. As a cat she looks like a white tabby with a black crow feather behind her left ear. For the background I'd like it to have wisps of gray and if it's not too much trouble, fire.

Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Request! ^^ T.T I.. I just can't draw an OC of mine............................ she just doesn't look...catlike enough when I draw her X( It's a pretty complicated OC too Her name's Laviva ^^ Alright first of all it she's a cat-like creature. That has hundreds of tails... (626 to be exact ;D). She also has wings and curly horns atop her head. She's a Fire creature and her wings are coated in fire, and her fur catches fire sometimes too... (it doesn't hurt her... or burn her fur... I just didn't know a better way of putting it ) Her fur is orange-lava-like color, her wing membranes are clear, and her horns are look like they're made of copper! Lines are completely fine since she's so confusing already ^^; and her on fire is optional too she's totally a OC I've had for A LONG TIME X( who's been put off due to my lack of ability in drawing cats and fire... my 2 favorite things... T.T (lol cat and fire-animal requests are stacking up already ) I might take requests around here if I'm able to in the future... Edited January 9, 2013 by 626lavaheart Share this post Link to post
Posted August 27, 2012 @rampaging wyvern here you go. I hope I acheived what you wanted. Unfortunatly it didn't come out as relistic as I hoped, I tryed to follow your design as closely as possible, but it didn't really work either. thanks for letting me draw your gryphon. On another note am I supposed to post the finished requests here or somewhere else? Share this post Link to post

Posted August 28, 2012 Ok, I need someone to design me a logo for me to use on all the software. For the logo i'll need a dragon to curl around a dragonfruit, the dragonfruit can be a real picture or computer designed, it doesn't matter. But i would like the dragon to be like this: But maybe less complicated. Thanks all (If i choose your design then i will put your name on all the software.) Share this post Link to post
Posted August 28, 2012 On another note am I supposed to post the finished requests here or somewhere else? That's totally up to you (and the requester) if you want to post here or through PM or whatever. The only thing I ask is that there is an indication from someone somewhere that the request was filled. :3 Dunno if this was intentional, but I noticed this in the title: Art Request Thread Since that is awesome, let's pretend I did it on purpose.

Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) Random request See the picture of the 'ferret'(it's a polecat) with wings? Can anyone up the picture, sketch out a new picture of her? she is a polecat, fully grown(if you want you can google pictures) She has crystal blue eyes, is fluffy, has a black/brown nose, and has large dragon wings. It would be cool if it could be in close detail and is way better then what i tried to do XP, if i could resize the picture to fit in my banner properly without skewing it at all it would be pretty nice.. If you do this for me, please PM me. Sometimes i breed for people who help me even though i don't have much to offer(i know this is a free art thread, but i always gift back to people who give me gifts, always unless they tell me otherwise or if it is for a gifting thread) it's a lot to ask for what i am asking, but i really want a better view at my character oh! and if you don't want eggies, i can always sketch a dragon for your dragon request I can see myself getting better with the sketches! Good luck! ~kaite Edited September 3, 2012 by IcarusTheDragon Share this post Link to post
Posted November 4, 2012 Hey Everybody! I may keep an eye on this thread since it looks pretty cool and um...i have a request or two myself... the first i'll start with is that i would absolutely adore someone beyond belief if they drew her and her dragon companions for me. http://tektek.org/avatar/46283813 She's a dream avi for a site but it'll take me years to get the items I need T_T Yes she is a bit difficult but in return I can try a draw something for you. I may not be really good but it'll be a way for me to show my gratitude for doing so apart from jumping for joy and such in the thread (though I may still do that anyways lol) The second I shall make later since I want to use it as a character in a book and I need inspiration as to how I want to go about it...here may be a good place to start Share this post Link to post

Posted November 4, 2012 Can anyone around here draw humans? I need a few for my stories, but I'll start with this: A little boy, about age 4, with blond hair and a really cute grin. Full body portrait, no background needed, though he can be outside if you want. One eye blue, one eye green. If someone picks this up you can PM for more details if you want them. I would like it to be realistic, not manga, please. I don't really have anything to give, but you can take a look at my scroll (which I'm going to try to figure out how to put in my sig) and if there's a pair you want me to breed for you I can.

Posted November 11, 2012 Hey guys, I was hoping I could get a request filled here, I'm in the need for a new avatar, something correlating with my name. So I was thinking of a roaring or snarling Polar Bear with blood around it's claws and around it's mouth. Make it look vicious if possible. PM me if you could use more details.
