Thanks for posting in my LF forum, I really like your art style and would really like to get something of Shion from you! I'd be interested in buying a halfbody flat! 

She's an Au Ra (or Raen Au Ra, which is the subspecies with lighter coloured horns/scales), which yeah is kinda demonic/dragonic looking? There's heaps of fanart and sorts of Au Ra characters, so there should be plenty of stuff that can help familiarize yourself with the race if that would help! Either of the first two images' outfits would be nice, so if you have a preference of which outfit you'd prefer to draw, you can pick! If you need more reference of her, I can get some more screenshots. :)

Anyway, I hope this is okay! :o

saivalkae

Bufuserk Ahh, thank you! And sure thing c: I'll dig more into the Au Ra/Raen Au Ra before I start.

Let me know if you have any specific details you'd like (such as posing -- I recall that her attitude is very serious and stoic, and she generally has a neutral/unamused expression, so I'm assuming that would be desired -- but beyond that, if you'd like her to be taking an action pose, holding anything... that sort of deal!)

I think I'll go with the very first outfit, and I should be good on reference photos! You've got some good face refs in there and I have everything I'll need in that regard c:

Sounds good! ;v; As you recall, serious and stoic with that expression being less cheer is a plus for sure! I'm also okay with poses that might suggest a lonely vibe as well! Basically, as long as that boisterous vibe is avoided, then all is fair game. I don't really mind honestly if she's in an action pose or holding something, would it be okay if I left that up to you if you wanted to draw something or not like that? :o

Okay! And I'm glad heh, thanks so much for being willing to take this commission on!

saivalkae

Bufuserk No problem!! c: I'm more than happy to draw this gal for you! And I really, really appreciate you linking her profile for me again, hah :'0

Maybe it's the proximity of your icon, but I am kind of getting this mental image of her sort of staring stoically to the side, into the distance, as though standing on a hill/mountainside and surveying an area? Possibly reaching for or drawing her sword, though definitely as a more cautious action versus an aggressive one. Let me know if that would work for you!

(Also, drop me a PM with your Paypal email and I'll send you an invoice after the commission's done -- before then I'll be sending you smaller water-marked progress shots alongside some detail shots for you to check out and see if it's something you're happy with, or ask for any changes!)

saivalkae  Ahh I'm glad to hear!

Wow that idea is brilliant! Thanks Hyakkimaru for that idea! (the character in my icon) x'D But yes, I love this idea and I could see her being like that! If you're okay with that one, then I'm eager!

Okay sounds good, I will send that now. :)

saivalkae howdy! thanks for your interest in designing an anthro character for me! I think what I might do is commission a few different artists just to get some different takes on what kinda character the paws could be turned into. So if you're up for it, I'd love to commission a couple of flat colored fullbodies from you, one front view and one back. Just let me know how much it would cost! Thanks!

saivalkae

appletundragon ahh, thank you for your interest in my art!! c:

So for this design, I think I'll price it at $90 base price (could do $85 if you'd like a simpler design, but I'm thinking just a touch more complex than what the lowest cost would afford -- that said, I tend to lowball it within my price ranges anyway since they're already relatively high, so you'll be getting something very detailed regardless, especially since there's a design cost!), plus the extra 10 for design charges, so $95-100 for the one (front-view) full-body; the second (back-view) won't have any design charge applied to it, and it'll be 75% of the baseline cost, so somewhere between approximately $64-$68 (rounded just to keep the numbers clean) -- in total it would come to somewhere between $158.75 and $167.50! 

If that would be over budget, I'd be more than happy to just do a front view and something like a little 'back pattern/detail' box on the side or something, though! (I'm not 100% certain what I'd price that detail shot as, but it'd be a significantly lower cost than an additional full-body, for sure, and we could work it out)

blaika

saivalkae that price range sounds perfect! Do you take payment before or after the art is complete, and how do you prefer I pay?

saivalkae

appletundragon Afterwards is good, or at least once the sketch is finalized and we have all the details worked out! And if Paypal works for you, feel free to drop me your Paypal email in a PM and I'll send you an invoice (with no time limit/due date on it, so payable at your convenience) either after sketch finalization or after the piece is completed c:

(If Paypal doesn't work for you, I'm more than okay setting up an account with another site and figuring out how to work that, hah)

saivalkae ahh ty for posting in my LF thread! <3 

im actually super interested in getting a bust piece of yvette and her dragon together! i have a question, how much would it cost? i can link a pose as well if need be ;0;

saivalkae

scoob Hey no problem! <3 I would love to draw the two of them -- (also thank you for linking Yvette again since I tend to lose links, h ah), and could do it for $83 together! If you'd like to get them interacting, I can do that as well, maybe with Yvette's hand coming up to rest on Erebus's neck or something -- or I can just have them in the same image just next to each other.

If you'd like to send a pose my way, feel free! c: Otherwise I'm fine just seeing what works!

saivalkae dming you now!
