Firstly, I'd like to apologize for how insanely huge this thread is.
That stated, Welcome to Egotist!
This is my (hopefully) permanent request thread. I'm an art whore and I won't deny it. I want as much art as I can get.

This thread is mostly a request thread, but if you scroll down far enough, there's an art shop in there somewhere as well as the possibility for art trades (if you're interested).

Have fun in here, stay, chat, draw, hang out! Whatever.
Just have fun. That's what life should be about. cool

Oh, a note. 99% of the images in here are linked to larger versions. Any art is usually a thumbnail.

ART FREEBIES

This is constant.

Every 100 bumps you will get free art from me. Any art that is available in my art shop except vexel or profile.
Every 300 bumps you can choose vexel, profile (where you provide most graphics), flash art (that I allow for art trades), or traditional art (that I allow for art trades).
Every 500 bumps you can get CG art(that I allow for art trades) and/or a profile (where I make most/all of the graphics).

If you "turn in" your bumps at any point, the no longer count toward your "score". (Ex. You've bumped 100 times, you got free art, you bump only 200 more times and ask for a vexel. This iwll not happen. You must bump 300 more times to get a vexel.)

There is no time limit, take as long as you need, and please number your bumps (conversation counts as a bump if you number it).

Alternatively, if you are the first on any 30th page(page 30, 60, 90, etc) you can get free art from me, as if you had bumped 100 times.

PM me with what page your post is on (for 30th page freebies) and the last bump you posted (for bump freebies) with what character you want drawn and in what way and I'll get to it as soon as possible. 3nodding

People who cheat will get a swift kick in the behind and possible ignorelisted.

For requests, you(the artist) can be paid in three different ways: gold, item(s), or USD(United States dollars through paypal).

Under each request post, you will see a little bar that looks something like this:
[Gold: Yes | Items: Yes | USD: Maybe]

This details what I will pay you for each character request.
Gold: I will pay you in pure. 1mill maximum for one piece of art.
Items: I will pay you with the item of your choosing from a list. 3 items maximum for one piece of art.
USD: I will pay you through paypal. $30 maximum per one piece of art.

HOW PAYMENT WORKS
If I'm paying you gold or items, I will send you the trade up front. I will not confirm the trade until you've sent me a watermarked version of the final piece. I will never pay up front-- Sorry, but I've been taken advantage of too many times.

If I'm paying you through paypal, I will pay you half up front and half after you send me the watermarked final image. I will never pay 100% up front. Yes, I've been shafted via paypal too. So I'm not going to deal with that sort of crap anymore.

ITEMS LIST
If you wish to fulfill an art request and want to be paid in items, this is the current list to choose from. When you are giving me your samples/rates, if you wish to be paid by item(s) please make sure to tell me which item(s) you would like from the list. I don't list quantities, but assume I have multiples.

You can name items you would like that are not on this list, however the chances of me actually having them are slim.

Thank You Letters / Evolving Items / Other Items

If you're interested in drawing for me, please post in the thread your samples (preferably an image gallery site link) and your rates.

Tell me who YOU'D like to draw, and what request specifically(if applicable).
Please, don't just say "I draw and these are my rates!" I'd like to know which of my characters you'd actually be interested in drawing.

If you'd like to be paid in item(s), please list that along with your normal rates, and which payment you'd prefer.

If you are ONLY willing to be paid in USD, PM me. Otherwise, list your rates in your post along with your gaia rates, or link me to wherever you post your RL commission rates.

Please consider that me paying you real money is a "last resort". Do not expect to be paid USD if your shop is open, slots aren't full, and/or you've never taken RL commissions before.

- If you quote me, take out the brackets in my name. The quote will break otherwise. Remember that!
- If you're drawing for me: Be honest. If you don't want to finish, let me know ASAP.
- If I'm drawing for you: Be patient, but don't be afraid to PM me asking what's going on if it's been a few days.
- DO NOT QUOTE ANYTHING ON THE FIRST PAGE. I swear to God I'll make you wish you'd never come in here.
- Chill out, hang out, be cool. I love you guys cool
- Contest Winners: If it seems like I've ignored you for more than a day, please PM me.
- If you're drawing for me: I will not wait longer than 30 days for art. I've been shafted too many times. If you feel like you're not going to finish, tell me. If something comes up, tell me. If you think you're going to take longer than 30 days from the beginning, don't even bother offering me art unless it's free. 30 days is more than enough time to draw something. Unless you have a damn good reason for not finishing (or have kept in contact with me about some type of problem(s) you've been having) then the trade is canceled on the 30th day and you're getting nothing. Sorry.
- If you're drawing for me: Don't be afraid to say "I don't want to do that" if I suggest a change in art. I'm willing to compromise.
- Do not ask me to buy art from you if your shop is closed and/or your slots are full. That sort of defeats the purpose of ordering from you if I can't order from you. Besides, I'll probably forget your shop even exists by the time you do reopen, because my memory is that bad and I'm seriously not that dedicated.
- Feel free to advertise your art auction(s).

- 99% of the time, I will not pay for chibis.
- I like my men looking like men. That includes age-wise (not boys) and looks-wise (not women with penises)
- Art never has to have a background, be colored, or digital.
- Art does not have to be "anime style".
- I will buy sketches if I like them and/or that's all you're offering.
- If you give the art a background, I would love you if you gave me a version without one. I also love transparent backgrounds. And original size pics.
- I love WIPs.
- If you have a DeviantArt or SheezyArt account and do art for me, please link me to the submission. I will always favorite them.
- I'll critique your art if asked(in a PM or comment on an image gallery site), but regardless of what I say I'm almost always happy to have received art from you. <3

Quatre Bornes Lee is my main character, as he is also (usually) my avatar.
You can find out his backstory and huge bio through the Gaia journal here, or the unifinished website here. Though these are not required reading.

Bornes has three incarnations, but the main one is that he is a sniper for hire.

Key Facts:
- Do NOT draw the DJ Headphones
- Aged 25 - 28
- Spiked collar is optional
- Cigarette is optional
- If you do not draw the sunglasses, he would be squinting
- Necklace gem should be green, roughly same color as eyes
- Hair is grey, not white
- Tail is black/brown. It is a different color from the hair
- Around six feet tall

Personality traits:
- Went to military acadamies, posture would reflect this
- Not too emotive facially, except while intoxicated or in pain
- Generally a cocky smartass who's full of himself and loves to rub it in everyone else's faces
- Womanizer

You can draw any incarnation of Q (more info on the bio page if you feel like reading a lot), however I'm currently looking for the following:

- Q x Ven Loraine, boyxboy coupling (ven refs: 1, 2)
It does not have to be "gay". You can draw them just being friends, also.

- Q with a gun, or in some sort of action-y pose. Or both. Preferably.
(weapon info; Action sample)

- Q with Mythey Maysonia. That has its own request thread.

- Q with Merumiharu. (Meru refs: 1, 2)
There's a sort of sexual relationship here, but it's more like a rivalry. Basically Q wants to bone Meru but Meru only teases him. The naughtier the antics here, the better. ;P

- GORY ART.
Q with blood, Q killing someone, Q killing Ven Loraine, fighting your character, etc., etc. GOOOOORY

Freebie Quest
Your avatar with Q. Doing anything. You can be friends, enemies, lovers, whatever.
Progress
Just shoot me a PM with the art if you wish to contribute. <3

Jiden Sparx is is an earlier 20s kid genius. He is an electrician/engineer, and he claims to be an inventor but "just doesn't have any good ideas yet." He's my cyberpunk character, loves computers, and technically stemmed from my IMVU avatar. Jiden is the only character that is actually based on myself. He looks a bit like me, shares a lot of my goals/dreams/etc.

Key Facts:
- Do NOT draw the gunblade (sword thing)
- Aged 18 - 23
- collar is optional
- Headphones are optional (prefer you didn't draw them)
- Sunglasses optional
- Necklace is either dog tags or a celtic cross (also optional)
- ALWAYS draw the goggles (on his head, around his neck, over his eyes- whatever)
- Green outfit preferred, however feel free to use artistic freedom. Mix and match, make your own, whatever. (Other pre-defined outfits: 1, 2)

Personality traits:
- Easy going, laid back, bit of a clown.
- Almost always happy. Smile on his face or knowing smirk
- A bit of a klutz, but always manages to pull through
- Although probably smarter than most of his friends, he enjoys playing the dumb fool

You can draw Jiden however you like, but there are a few things I'd be more interested in than normal pictures:

- A pose inspired by Air Gear (Inspired by, NOT "posejacking something on a poster")

- Something mad scientist-y. But not crazy mad- funny mad. Like Dr. Horrible's Sing along blog.

Lori Lentil is a dragon anthro type fantasy character. He's a trickster thief, lives on an arid planet, and loves his gold and shiny things.

Key Facts:
- Looks age 20 - 25
- Has no hair; it's all feathers
- Goggles always over eyes.
- Technically he can either have a human face or a more dragon-y snout. But if a snout, try and cover it with his neckerchief/scarf.

Personality traits:
- Never takes anything seriously
- Loves shiny things
- Easily fixated on a goal (such as treasure hunting) and incredibly stubborn to achieve it, even if in life threatening danger
- Can make fire from his hands in small amounts (mostly for light)
- Loves tricks and mind games, rather than actual fighting (He'd annoy you to death!)
- He's kind of A.D.-- OH GOLD

You can draw Lori however you'd like.
But it would be interesting to see him in a situation that compliments his character-- or how you think he'd act in the situation you put him in.

Grey is an old guy who's been through a lot of crap. Originally a man named Garrett with a tech Support job at Adobe, he was cool until one day he was turned into a Grey Hare. Assuming a new name for himself, he finally accepted his fate in this new body, but isn't going to let it get him down. He likes to draw as a past time and loves listening to retro music. He's also a huge fan of disco.

Key Facts:
- Aged 28 - 35
- Is missing one arm from the shoulder.
- Only wears greys, blacks, and off-whites.
- Look at the avatars for reference- you can use your artistic freedom here in his outfits or body shape/style. Feel free to mix and match.
- Has hooves.
- Ears are floppy.
- The hat is never off.
- The long drag is optional.
- Glasses are optional.
- The clutter (on the avatars) is mostly for look. So try to draw it as one flowing thing rather than a bunch of individual items.
- He's full on anthro. Please don't try to humanize him too much.

Personality traits:
- He's a regular guy making the best of a bad situation
- Can be serious and cranky, but also can lose himself and be silly
- Loves to disco, and doesn't care if he looks like a retard doing it

You can draw Grey however you'd like.
But it would be interesting to see him in a situation that compliments his character-- or how you think he'd act in the situation you put him in.

Also, disco pics. And generally "happy" pics. Grey has the potential to be an emo/angry guy, but I'd prefer to personify him as just a normal human being.

Jackall is a new-age thief set in the same world/universe as Jiden Sparx. He's a guy who makes it his life to hunt after new tech, as he's sort of a technophile. While worth isn't really that huge of a deal for him, it matters when he needs to make money.

He'd rather deal with how awesome something is. Like a computer with a holographic operating system, or a toaster that cooks eggs, or shiny green goggles that can tell the ionic components of what they're looking at.....

Key Facts:
- Aged 25 - 30
- The orange things are capsules for weapons (interpret as you wish)
- Light brown hair with an orange tint
- Green eyes
- Athletic

Personality Traits:
- Normal guy who steals for both a hobby and a living.
- Very hands-on
- Pretty Nocturnal
- Loves new fangled technology.... And clothes.

You can draw Jack however you want.
I'm just interested in seeing more art of him.

Welcome to my Art Shop, which only exists in order to get more art. xD
These is basically a freebie shop that survives on tips. Tips are required, though how much you tip is largely up to you. I have a few different styles of art. How to order is at the end of the post.
Please keep in mind that art orders are not first come first served. I pick and choose, and if I do not choose to draw your character(s), it's because I don't think I have the ability to, or I have no inspiration(which is a random thing- so don't be offended). If you have more than one character and I only didn't choose one of your characters, feel free to try again later.

Some things you should remember, however are:
- I concentrate on mostly males
- In most cases, headgear (goggles, large hats) are either going to look horrible or I will not draw them.
- I will draw anything. It does not have to be an avatar. However, I would largely prefer picture reference(s). Even if they are in pieces (Ex: a picture for type of hair, picture for clothes, etc.)
- One character per picture (no couples or groups)

TABLET SKETCH - NON-HUMAN CHARACTERS ONLY
I mostly do full anthros for these. Headshots or busts only.
The more human-looking your character is, the less likely I will accept the request.

REFINED / COLORED SKETCH - MALES ONLY
Normally these are waist-up or knee-up and fully colored with at least two colors. However I don't have many samples of this style currently.

VEXEL - MINIMUM 15K PAYMENT
These take me forever to do so to ensure it's worth it, I have to set the minimum payment. Sorry.
These are full-color, done in photoshop, either no background or a very simple background. These are normally full-body. If you really want less than a full body I suppose we can work something out.

PROFILES - V2/CURRENT ONLY
http://profile.thegcw.com for samples.
Newer profiles are on the bottom.

I can make your graphics or work with pre-existing ones. I can take a pre-existing layout and slice it and code it for you. I can also convert a pre-existing oldschool/classic profile to v2.
Profiles come with a semi-guarantee in that if you ever want anything changed(minimally) or if it somehow breaks, I will fix it at no charge for as long as you are using the profile.

Profiles are tested in Firefox2 and IE7 for compatibility before they're given to you. But if you use a different browser or wish for it to be compatible with a specific browser (Such as Chrome or Safari) Please let me know up front so I can do that. There should be no problems regarding compatibility normally but if you let me know I can take the necessary precautions to make sure. It's easier to deal with while making a profile than after I've already made it.

If I have to make all of your profile's graphics, there's a minimum payment of 5k. There is no minimum payment if all or most of the graphics are supplied.
All profiles are done on a case-by-case basis, please PM me for more info
I MIGHT do flash components but I will never make another flash profile.

HOW TO ORDER

[color=red][b][size=18]ART ORDER[/size][/b][/color]
[b]Username:[/b]
[b]Art Style:[/b] (tablet sketch, refined sketch, or vexel?)
[b]Character:[/b] (image references, a small little bio about what I should be drawing)
[b]Payment?:[/b] (What you are expecting to pay me)
[b]Comments:[/b] (anything else you think should be added; feel free to leave this blank)

Fill out the above form and post it in the thread, followed by sending [Q] a trade for what you expect to pay. Name the trade the art style, and what page your order is on.

FOR EXAMPLE.
If you wanted a tablet sketch and you posted the form on page 10, your trade would be titled "tablet sketch p10".

Feel free to PM me with any questions, or better yet: Post in the thread.

I'd love to do art trades with people! I will draw mostly anything, but keep in mind I concentrate mostly on males, and I have a hard time with headgear (goggles and large hats).

If you'd like to do an art trade with me, just PM me with your samples and what you would like done. I will attempt to draw couples, but please keep in mind I mostly draw people by themselves.

In addition to the styles already mentioned in my art shop, I also offer the following for art trades:

FLASH

TRADITIONAL

CG
When I do these, I make two versions, usually. A full version and a "sig" version. Sig versions are usually headshots with the rest of the image masked out.
