I know its not totally related to the SW art thread, but since it does have a relation I think I should tell ya guys that I've been featured in an SW online magazine :3 :3 Needless to say I'm damn happy about it :3 :3 Here is the link for the magazine http://torwars.com/2012/04/28/thats-no-moon-its-art-by-tanathiel/ I think I'll have a great long weekend Cheers

Hehhe thanks a lot Since last time, it was like just ppl with a sub can actually write on the forums x) Glad they changed that:3 Well, as said, it depends. Usually I work with the 100-200$ range. Depending on the details of the commission it can be near 100$ up to 200$ or higher. The high means, it has a lot things going on the pic, like a full blown battle scene or something along those lines Or just multiple characters, really detailed, photo quality like, ect. ^^ Hope that answeres your question Hehhe and thanks ^^

Hello peepz Here is the finalised verison of the twi'lek jedi ^^ I had a lot of fun drawing this actually :3 It was a nice chance to try out a different style and a bit harder angle that I usually draw in ^^ Not to mention, drawing jedi is a lot fun Ok, without further mambo-jumbo, here is the finished piece ^^ + the closeup on the head =) I'm really proud how the scars turned out on his face :3 Looks really menacing ^^ http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/117/9/5/commission___demise_by_tanathiel-d4xr5eu.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/117/6/4/ryger_closeup_by_tanathiel-d4xr5n8.jpg

Got only 2 days left from sub, not sure if I can still post here if its off ^^ Not sure if I'll be subbing again, so in case I could not post here after it runs out, you can find me on Deviartart or the SW:TOR-RP forums ^^ I'll be uploading the finished work for my last commission tomorrow

Hey guys I'll upload the finished commission tomorrow most likely ^^ Until then, hope you guys doing well EDIT: modified first post with the correct commission list so far ^^ Re-checking request board tomorrow in case I missed somebody @OddballEasyEight 1: do you do character concepts on request? Yes I still do char concepts As you could see in the first post ^^ Nice list T_T God I need to step on it XD XD 2: if you do, could you do one from a couple of in-game screenshots or would you prefer a description and work from that? I can work with good screenshot material The commission I'm doing atm, Ryger is done the same way. I got a couple of in-game screens + a nice description on the character ^^ I can work from description only too, but any pic reference helps a lot So the end product is usually closer to the requester's imagination ^^ 3: do you want recompensation of some sort or do you do this for free? Depends on what you'd like to do. If you check the difference between request art and commission art, yu can see a huge boost in quality with the commission piece compared to the request. Also, commissions take priority, meaning, request art will be done on downtime/inbetween commissions, as I have time ^^ Ofc, I'd prefer the commission, but its entirely up to you 4: do you only do the ones that catches your fancy or do you do all requests (within reason) So far I've done all the requests. It would be a bit egocentrical to pick the only ones I prefer. To be honest, sometimes I ended up having fun with some of the requets that I originally thought it would not be anything interesting ^^ Basically, its up to my imagination to make something more appealing Thats my job anyway Hope that answered your questions ^^ If you have any more let me know I dont bite xD @Zeruhn -- Hehhe, np mate ^^ Actually I'd be in trouble if I steal somebody's stuff and post it as my own. But as most artists, I HATE art-theft -.-" from the core of my being. I think what I do is not stealing. I make an artwork, putting in a lot hours into make one. Its a fan-art, despite the characters/equipment itself belongs to Bioware/Lucasarts. If it would be an issue to draw their characters, then only the official artists would be able to draw them ^^; Which would be a pity + it would be BORING xD Besides, its a great opportunity for them to seek out new and fresh artists if they like And yes I dont like to draw flowers either xD Actually I'm not the only one drawing commissions here A lot of people do that on this forum ^^ @Rotton -- Thanks a lot mate Glad you like my works ^^ But ya know, those awesome forum avatars and whatnot would not be around if ppl like you dont fiddle with the art we make I know, I'd make a terribad job doing one XD

Hehhe ^^ Would be nice to see a costume/armor set like that actually :3 Or even just a social look armor ^^

If that would be the case, then there would be no fan-art whatsoever... -.-" All the artists around the globe would be sued 24/7 for using materials from games, films, ect. Besides, this is not a carbon copy of an existing character, but a modified version to a costum character created in game. If what you said would be true, then most of the artists would be drawing random flowers xD Besides, its not that they lose anything. The opposit. A good artwork is as good as an advertisement. Most companies know this and encourage artists to do fanarts

Hello there Sorry guys for the LONG silence... got tangled up in some IRL stuff and I wasnt able to draw a line -_-" I need to step on it to get in scedule again, I'm way behind compared to myself xD Anyways: @StarryCiel -- Well, since I will do commissions first, the request board is on a waiting line ^^; If it still fine with you, feel free to add in a request As you could see there is a nice difference both in composition and actual complexity of the request vs. commission pieces @Godincarnate -- As said, sadly i havent drawn an inch, yet alone anything else... :/ Working on it @Natharious -- Thanks a lot mate I try to wrap up the Jedi drawing in te weekend ^^ Hopefully I'll get a feedback on my next work after it. If not I make some quick works =)

Actually, the helm is already existing before I made it... let me see if I can find it... There you go: http://343guiltyspark.deviantart.com/art/Sith-Birthday-144252261?q=boost%3Apopular%20sith%20birthday&qo=2 Still, it looks epic The original credit goes to this guy ^^ At least as far as the helmet/visor goes

I smiled a lot on this one :_) Well yea, basically we tend to be the appetizer for most dps classes ^^ Not to mention ranged who love to offer us some bullets. Hot and spicy, as usual Usually I have only time to read the manifacture number on the said hilt/blaster before I hit the ground Too bad I like to be a support more then anything. Since its enjoyable and gives chellenge. Support classes needs brains usually. Have to decide in a split second what to do and in some cases, who lives who dies. A lot brainwork Same with tanks I think. Just the other way around. Who to protect, who to CC ^^ I still think that healer as a class should not exist. They just prolong a fight. Sometimes needlessly. And we also the responsible for DPS classes got so lenient and laid back. Not to mention arrogant (no offense to the exeptions ^^) Since what we do ? Keep them alive. They got used to it. They "deserve it" as some say. Funny is, we contribute to their selfish desires to top that DPS chart or DPS meter. Most of them forgot that if we dont prolong their existance, they could enjoy a more frequent graveyard run If there was a class thats just purely support. No heals. Just support abilities. Like... buff, debuff, snare, root, absorb shield, ect, then I'd be similarly happy with the class. Despite I say healers should not exist as they do now, I love to play them. However its a bit disheartening sometimes what we get in exchange of keeping that band-vagon going Only a few people realise our existance and give thanks to us. Ironically they usually play a healer alt/main xD Ok, enough of bad mood Despite all this crap I still play a healer ^^ Just because I like the archetype so much Tho if they make our lives even more harder... then I'll drop it. Roll a tank. Or leave completely X)

It seems as a general "MMO desiese" that most tank classes (no matter the game really xD) dont use guard in a PUG. Ok, I can leave without it sometimes. But the most problem is, people continiously demand healing to be done, so they can deepees to their hearts content. However, they tend to ignore the opposing team's players that come in the backline to chop up the healers XD Cant even count how many times I needed to fend for myself (and usually die trying, since as it mostly done properly, 2-4 ppl rush backlines xD) and nobody really moves a finger to CC/kill the harrassers x) Really annoys me to no end that heals are demanded but in return we get little to no defence at all. That being said... guard+healer combo can really destroy a WZ ^^; I always play a healer, however sometimes I wonder if the healer class totally disturbs the balance of a pvp game ? One good healer can totally throw the game off balance where those team wins who has a better healer xD Not to mention tank/healer duos. And being kept alive wont mean that the team needs any skill at all. Only logic to choose targets (squishy first, rest later). For similar reasons that you mentioned, I'm really considerig to roll an other class now. Its kinda thankless to play as a healer to be honest... ^^;

Originally that was the main idea Glad it was on spot and not way off then

Oook guys Sry for the late posting, the weekend was a total mess -.-" Anyways, here is the next and most likely last WIP of the Jedi guy ^^ The stuff unfinished are kinda obvious He still needs his facial markings done + lightsaber and whatnot, but I think it gone though a nice improvement :3 Ah, and if you zoom in a bit, you can see the Jabba the Hutt's clan symbol on the doorway (called Desilijic Clan) Yup, I love details Here is the pic itself ^^ http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/073/2/f/commission___demise_wip_3_by_tanathiel-d4sqaq0.jpg

Thats the one thanks a lot :D I tend to forget the english name variant X)

There is a closeup pic on the Sith's armor here: http://tanathiel.deviantart.com/art/We-will-prevail-Sith-closeup-273507717]Link http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/347/6/7/we_will_prevail_sith_closeup_by_tanathiel-d4iu7wl.jpg

Heya Nice to see somebody actually trying/willing to write a critique Actually, its a bit similar as your wife said X) As you could see, all the other areas where the skin is visible, it is brigther (the hand + the face and the little part what you can see from the base of the neck/shoulder... duh, dunno how to call it in english XD). Seems it would be more noticeable thats not body skin but a fabric if I'd put a little sharper highlight on it like I did on the thigh x) Ah well Still thanks a lot for pointing out ^^ I usually dont like to meddle with drawings I deemed finished. I usually keep in mind what mistakes I made so I try not to do them again =) I try to improve with every drawing I'm making ^^ I still need to get used to colours tho I'm working in colors only since one and a half year ^^; I was drawing in black and white before it for years xD

I think I can contribute a few I'm drawing SW:TOR characters for commission/request for a few month now and I've designed some custom made armor designs mostly originating on existing ones, so the style is still similar ^^ I've an art thread here in the Fan Art section, but I guess I can link it here =) So far I"ve done 5x original armor design, the one I'm doing now is an existing Jedi armor, so thats nothing new xD If you like I can put in the drawing itself too ^^ Tho it would eat up a lot space I guess Anyways... Here they are: Sith Warrior (male) Custom built armor, some parts are similar to Malgus's armor =) Link Bounty Hunter (female) A bit more... spec-ops equipment like =) Link Smuggler (female) Standard looks - Link A bit more... stylish - Link Imperial Agent (female) A bit of an Assassins Creed feel to it ^^ Link

Actually you wont need to wait too long for that xD I'll try to draw the next piece as such :3 True, I'd need to ask the commissioner if they (a couple ) would want to see their characters in a battle or not xD

Actually the most annoying is when melee dps think they are "I have lazor swordz I can tank too!!!!11!1" and jumps into the face of 3x silver mobs and expects me to heal it xD And yea... most healers dont get protected in PvP or PvE XD Or when they happily run into another party of mobs while I have near zero resource xD And no... I wont take the blame for a tanks death if he is stupid enough to pull more that the party + I can handle x) The usualy L2P issue is not always with the healer

Vote done ^^ via Facebook Good luck mate And I agree, your work is clearly better then the rest in most aspects ^^

I remember these :3 :3 God, I LOVE Javas

Ahoy ppl Sorry for the delay between WIPs ^^ But I think it was worth the wait I'm trying out a bit more realistic style now and so far I really love it :3 The background is still "raw" but it will change in time ^^ The face is not final, the twi'lek pigment markings + scars still missing. Mostly done with the upper body ^^ I'll leave the lightsaber for last Changed the clothing here and there so its more believeable since he jumps XD Here is the pic ^^ http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/067/2/3/commission___demise_wip_2_by_tanathiel-d4s4as2.jpg

LOL xD Full of win :DD Moar pls x)

^^ this XD

A bit modified list of things about healers (original credits go to Korochun's - DoK Manifesto ^^) Quite fitting I might add 1. Not all targets are created equal. There is only so much Energy/Ammo/Force to pass around. If you didn't get healed, you were not worthwhile enough to get healed. Try being useful. 2. It's your own damn fault. Maybe if I wasn't so busy healing so many people, I could've healed you. And the reason I was so busy is probably because you were being bad at your job. You know, if you put out more DPS or tanked better, there would be less attack pressure on your own team, and therefore, there would be less healing pressure, too. 3. We are here to get you through in one piece, not to check on your underwear. We are here to try and prevent your sorry arse from hitting the ground while putting pressure on the enemy, nothing more and nothing less. Satisfaction is not guaranteed, but as long as you're still alive, I don't want to hear a word outta you. And use the OOC heal, saves a lot of headaches for us. 4. If you have time to be complaining, you have time to be useful. Go do something productive. Bash a hunter. Stab a sith sorc. Violate a pie. We know everything you're going to whine about... 5. ...and we don't care. We're very likely doing our best with what we got. Most people don't even realize we are healing them, as much as they only notice the fact that they are not yet dead. Also, why are you still talking? 6. Stop telling us to heal. Unless you want us to tell you to DPS. Or tank. Every single time someone in your vicinity dies. What do you mean, taunt is not godmode? 7. Healing is not godmode. We are neither omniscient, nor omnipotent. We have limited resources. Just like you do. Before stopping to nag us, stop and think. 8. You are not important. It's only what you do that matters. If you want to get heals, do something important, and do it well. 9. Wars have casualties. Enjoy the graveyard run. 10. We're not your worshippers. In fact, as far as we're concerned, you're only kept alive to amuse us with your antics. ^^
