STOP PRESS! REQUESTS NOW CLOSED!

Finally, a few days before jetting off on holiday, I dust off the last of the requests. I must say I have really enjoyed the challange of taking someone elses ideas and putting my own spin on it, and I did learn a thing or two along the way.

The pressure was a bit serious at times though, so I'll probably be giving myself more time in future. Requests will probably be popping up again in october time.

And last but not least, the round up.

My friend dan requested a tattoo design of The Crow, had a few headbanging moments with this one but I'm happy with the final result.



2nd Part of desklifes characters, Sally, full details in the first weeks roundup.



A hybrid of Link from the legend of Zelda and Jason from Friday the 13th, from an idea by BrianTheMute.



And keebablue's character Valac.



And thats It, what a ride, Time to kick back on some beach somewhere with a beer and an overactive imagination.

Request Weeks 3 & 4 Roundup

Due to attendance at a wedding and the subsequent hangover therov, Output has been reduced over the last couple of weeks. But lets take a look at what I've been doing anyway.

For my good friend Denwood we have Santa fighting a shark in the middle of a victorian dinner party. Yet it is still August.



Next we have Danny the cat as the Pyro from Team Fortress 2, in both blu and red flavors.



After that we have dredlok52's Chronicles of Mirra characters. I really like how this one came out.



Possibly the most complex of my requests so far is stardom123's storyboard.



Request of Huoeme's original character, Ning, He likes strawberries so I'm told.



Another one I'm rather proud of, Reldin-pq's Champions Online character.



And last but not least the 2nd of sunnyszelda's Character concepts.



And on a final note I must regrettably announce that I have no more room for requests at this time, but shall be taking more in the future. Cheerio.

No Regrets: An Interlude

Having missed out a few campaign sessions over the recent weeks, I've decided to bridge the gap with a small interlude.

Its equal parts Dungeons and Dragons, Fallout, Dragon Age and some stuff from an old nonsense novel I wrote for laughs when I was 16.





Normal, Unemotional service will be resumed shortly

Requests: Week 2 Roundup

Oki32 Asks me to do a picture of Zangief. Being one of my favorite street fighter characters, I rise to the challenge.



Up next if the first of some concepts for sunnyszelda. This is Lawrence, a hansome young man.



ellenm asks me to do a small diddy of The Fitcilitator.



And finally h3artbr0ken's character Johnson.

Requests: Week 1 Roundup

One week in on taking requests, lets have a look at what I've come up with so far.

First up, I get a request from Benson, He wants a catgirl, Alright I say:



Further afield on the internet, Shottis requests a comic book styley cover featuring himself and his two characters Kara Walker and Kaitlyn. This is what I came up with:



Up next web series Sally Carter's writer Desklife requested a couple of things of the series characters. I had a crack at Hood, and plan on doing more in the future. More of her stuff Here: http://sallycarter.blogspot.com/ .The requests are coming in hard and fast now though.



Finally Bowser81889 requested something of his original Sonic character, Reign. I've not done anything like this before, so there you go. Came out quite well though all told.



Coming soon: Denwoods request Involving Santa and a bear, The Facilitator, some more original characters, and Zangief. See you in a week.

That Means You, Request Details

The time has come. The time has come to start acting like a semi professional. The time has come to start taking free requestes.



Merrick: “distributed gratis.”

Al Swearengen: Free gratis.

Merrick: Free gratis is a redundancy.

EB: does that mean ‘repeats itself?’

Al Swearengen: Then leave gratis out.

Merrick: What luck for me Al, that you have such a keen editorial sense. Free. Distributed Free. Period.”

Al Swearengen: Fucking free gratis!

SO WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?

What it means is, that if you want any kind of illustration work done, want it free, want it fast, and want to help me improve, then tell me what you want, and I'll do my best to pull it off.

WHAT CAN YOU ACTUALLY DO?

Examples of some of my stuff here: http://elpresedente.deviantart.com/ it gets better as it goes along.

Whatever I can to get to be a better artist, but just in case, here's a few Ideas:

Working on a novel or a play, short film even? I can do concepts for you're characters, costume designs, even crack out some storyboards if I can find the time.

Original character designs, same as above really.

Illustrations for promotional work, home grown album covers etc. If its for something like this it'd get priority too, just as long as I got full credit for my work.

Tattoo designs, didn't really think of this till somebody mentioned it at work, but I'd be happy to have a crack.

Comics, if you've got a script, bear in mind though I'd only be able to do a page or two, not a full on 24 page issue. I've got my own stuff to work on too you know!

Some funky fresh fan art, as long as you provide the references if its something I'm not familiar with.

And I don't mind doing stuff of a semi erotic nature, just bear In mind that I haven't been down that route yet so I'd be going in green.

Just remember though I'll try and fit as much in as possible, don't know how well this'll take off yet, but rarely some stuff has the potential to turn me off, so if I don't like you're request, lump it.

TIMESCALES

Depending on my work hours and what I've got on between now and the end of august, this is a rough Idea of how long stuff should take. It'll also be based on how many requests I have to get through.

A quick sketch: About an hour or so, it'll be pretty rough though.

Lineart: About an afternoon to a day

Black and White Inks: About a day or two, maybe more depending on how complex it is.


Colour: About 2 - 3 - 4 days again maybe more depending how complex it is.

Comic Strips: About a week

REQUESTING

Either send the request in an email to el_presedente_nr@hotmail.co.uk with Request as the subject title, or leave the request in the comments section of this blog post, the facebook group page or the DA forum thread, and I'll see what I can do.

Ok then chaps hope you can all help me out, and In the end we'll all be big shots earning megabucks, right?

Jenny Everywhere's Rules of the Multiverse

I knew this theme was too good to pass up on.
