Examples!
Ok, first off, I'm not that great of an avi artist, but I CAN do character refs and commissions on other things.

Anyway, examples of my references are like this:

This is a reference of the different breeds of velociraptor-hybrids found in my novel called Rapticles. There's also a breed to tiger-hybrids called Tygres but I can't post that as an example due to male nudity. ^^; This is Character Reference Pose 1
Besides that point, another few examples of references are as follows:

This is my lovely Soverin, which I'm using as one example. This is Character Reference Pose 2

This is my Exil. His character ref is an example of Character Reference Pose 3. What's the difference between 2 and 3? Weapons... that's pretty much it.
And I could also do weapon profiles. What does that look like?

This is Envy, and this would be Character Reference Pose 4
One more reference would be depicting facial piercings, such as follows. Exil is the model again:

This is Character Reference Pose 5
Ok, and besides references, as I've said, I can do others.

This is my character Seraph, in a random pose.

These are most of my novel characters in chibi form. If you want chibis, then on the order form put "Chibi" and then either "single" or "group"

Another example, this time using photomanipulation for a background. This is my naga character Koralle.
And an example of a group shot, I'll post my novel cover idea:
Any other kind of examples you may need to persuade you into purchasing art, I'll gladly post some. ^^
