Welcome to Gaia! ::

HUMANPRINTER


You ain't seen pencil like this.

I'm a oldbie from '03. Sometimes, I like coming back to Gaia. This is a bribe shop (see post 2) and a request thread (see post 4), but on occasion, I'll do a sketch trade ((see post 3, beware, my standards are high). I have a full-time job at an animation studio, so I work 9 AM to 7 PM. I may disappear at random intervals, but I wanted to set up a permanent home on Gaia.

I am also willing to offer critiques and general advice. You're welcome to stay and chat.


  • Use your common sense.
  • I may cancel gaia commissions if RL things become too pressing.
  • Copyrights - I reserve all rights to the commissioned image, including posting on websites and using as samples in the future. I may or may not make prints of full CG's - but I will always ask permission first and give credit where it's due. Please tell me up front if you are not comfortable with this arrangement.
  • Image Usage - commissioners may use their commissions for anything noncommercial. Non-commissioners must receive permission from me AND the owner of the character(s) before using.

    As always, ASK if anything is unclear!

◈ ◇ BRIBE PRICES ◇ ◈
These are the minimum offers I will take for commissions of a given style, size, and medium. I reject orders based on how good the offer is and how much time I have. If you offer more gold or have a cool character, I will more likely take your order and more likely do a better job. Orders are based 70% on character, 30% on offer. I heavily prefer RL commissions, and I will ship originals.

    ◈ ◇ JUMP THE GUN ◇ ◈
    If the normal slots are closed, you can still offer and I might consider it. This works with art trades as well - certain people, I will work for immediately, but I won't say whom.

    Otherwise, you might want to try for the commission slot.

    NOTE: Not all proposals are accepted - it mainly depends on how much of a workload I have at the time.

REQUEST


Please do not be offended if I do not commission you, or even if it takes me a long time to get back to you. I am very busy and have pretty high standards. I am fine with you posting here directly or linking me to your shop or auction.

I Like: Semi-realism, fantasy, steampunk, color, black and white, CG, natural media, couples and character interaction, backgrounds, strong technical foundations, ability to work from imagination beyond photo references.
I Do Not Like: Cutesy "animu," science fiction, chibis, direct copying of photo references.

Note, if you draw with traditional media, I may ask for you to ship me an original in which case, I will pay for it accordingly. I live in Southern California, USA.

Name: Rivek Ailinar
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 137 lb

Ailinar Ailinar Rivek Ildorus is a swordsman-archer on a contract with the government who doesn't exist on paper because of religious reasons. He has mixed feelings about his position - he's in love with his boss, but he hates being metaphorically leashed. Nevertheless, without the law, he would still be just as dedicated to her. As a result, although he stays distant in public, he's not afraid to speak his mind when they are in private. When you get to know him, you realize, behind the logical exterior, is a sarcastic sense of humor which is a further mask for his intense loyalty.

Proud to be an indirect descendant from Ailinar, Rivek inherited all of his magical prowess plus the ability to change into peregrine falcon form. Unfortunately, he has minimal control over his power and finds his everyday behavior affected by his animal side. Just like his forebears, he is a dark-mage but lives in times when it is much worse to be one. He has spent a decent portion of his life simply trying not to get killed, but he now aims to better his station. He is also very good at math and would probably ace calculus had it been invented.

His blood is so dark red it's almost black because he's a mage. His powers, though are limited. All he can really do is talk to birds and turn into a peregrine falcon, which enhances his human speed and eyesight. His eyes are blue, and the cross on his face is a scar. Wings are optional. A lot of people add them for aesthetic reasons. Just make sure they're gray/mottled, if you do add them.
