Hey everyone, I'm an art student at ECU in NC. I'm in my third year and I'm getting a little tired of doing class assigned work. I'm looking for commissions from anyone for almost anything. Whether it be video game characters, movie moments, character art for something you're a part of, or t-rex's fighting f-14's (Everyone should see that painting :P) I'd like to take a shot at it. I'm posting some work i've done over the last two years i have hosted on flickr. I work mostly in oil paints or charcoal drawings though i have quite a bit of experience in digital "painting" (i just don't get to work digital for my program).
I love art, and i love creating things i think people will enjoy. On the flip side i'm more of an illustrator than an artist and i need requests or at least someone to point me in a direction, so here i am. i hope there's an interest on the pa boards for this
Because i forgot the first time
This thread is not about paid transactions, i don't want money for this. Also, if there are any other artists interested in taking any requests i think this thread could serve that purpose! I simply want a reason to do more work and i love to work on your ideas.
Most of the images i'm posting are figurative. I love to do portraits and character design. I'm also a huge admirer of ashley wood (some of you may recognize a few of the images as attempted studies of his work) But this does not limit me from doing animals, creatures, or environments (i just don't have any personal examples at the moment)
These first few drawings are from a set of portraits i did of my friends:
A pair of oil paintings:
This one is an in-progress portrait of my mother. I'm just hitting the final value block in and was starting the flesh tone in the face when i stopped.
These are a single image and details of the faces. It was a self portrait assignment that i chose to stylize:
An abstraction in Acrylic:
In class figure drawings, the first two are longer poses, around 15 minutes. the following 3 are quick gestures ranging from 1 minute to 5 minutes.
These last couple are water colors with some kind of ink drawing preliminary.

I love you.
as to rolo's request:
i guess we'll see. the steed and the raider should be no problem (relatively) the snow capped mountain setting will be the true test :P
i don't claim to be able to top the look of determination on that man's face.
If there's something specific about the movie i don't know because i haven't experienced them, let me know. But on face value i'm going to have to decline.
heh, imagine that.
They also die pretty easy and messy.
as for the killer pink fluffies: are these some kind of mutated rabbit? I'm just guessing by the "ears" and feet. If you gave me more information about what they are i might be able to do something different with them. If not I could just take the current design and twist it a little. I do have a deep love for the morbid and obscure.
clearly i have missed a meme
Edit: upon further research i have found the chronicle of this here: http://andrewhussie.blogspot.com/2009/01/need-for-steed.html
I'm sure others are aware, but for anyone else who had no clue that this was a thing on the internet, well here you go. The story is worth reading, especially for some of the images later on...
also, if 425 dollars were paid for that piece, well. I guess i'm just speechless.
in light of recent discoveries i clearly could not copy a successfully sold piece of artwork. thanks for the joke rolo.
it is clearly far too awesome. I'm sorry for your confusion. Blame rolo. I know i do
I'll get it up here eventually.
Baited baby breath?
