Also, can anyone suggest some nice traditional artists for me? RL $ on Deviantart perhaps? I honestly know nothing! gonk I've been running around the traditional anime area, but I see nothing spectacular that amazes me. Perhaps I'm searching in the wrong places? sad

To be honest...I think the R&C went downhill after they moved it from it's original location as a subforum of Picture Post (or was it Art Discussion? I can't remember, they moved it last April). I came back from a trip to Vegas and I was completely lost in the torrent of notsogreat art. I used to be able to check every shop/auction/request thread that popped up. Now I just go to the ones in my subscriptions and occassionally pop in to see what's on the first page.


http://loish.deviantart.com does really nice traditioinal media. I think she charges $70 for a fullbody but I'm not sure.

http://kiyo.deviantart.com does some stuff in acrylics. I don't think her style will really suit your character though.

And that's all I have right now because deviantart isn't letting me load pages. *has her watchlist organized into catagories of style and medium.*

I agree with you, Lili. I've stopped browsing there lately because it's flooded with auctions I can't afford or shops with low quality art. It's really disappointing; I miss the days before they moved the R&C.

On DeviantArt, Saerhal, Keysha, Kuroihana, Marit, and Sasha do traditional art and take commissions, to name a few.

i'm deviating towards breedables. i'm only in the r&c with the people that i know. it's rather disappointing since i can't really find good artists. that and gaia is good for one set of my characters, but not the other, so i've only really looked for one set of character art. whee

sabin - yes..satou, i need to email her back. XD;; ^^;;

lili - i really don't want art of my gaian avatar. XD;; i dunno, i'd rather have it of my original characters.

That's the thing! I think I'm generation two, 'cause I've only been in the R&C since the start of this year. I've never been in before the move. gonk

Thanks Joe heart (less than a week til AX! *is really excited*)

Lili: It was a lot better (in my opinion). Smaller. I think I ran into Raesha/Washu/Zer/Joe in shops CONSTANTLY. Y'all always got there before me blaugh (I think I used to stalk a few of you just to see the art of your characters)

The move brought in more artists (which was both a good and bad thing) but it also brought in a lot of customers. And a lot of the newcomers had more money to spend (previous exchangers + breedables owners) thus the massive increase (in my opinion) in price ranges. 2k used to be a lot for a full body piece. Now you can only hope to get a decent headshot for that much. And on the rare occassion, someone who is awesome and doesn't care much about gold. And then people started recieving tons more in auctions (which were rare back then. You'd see maybe five tops in 3 pages) so there were more auctions and more and more. And now that's mostly all the R&C is from what I've seen.

Now I just get art on gaia based on the things I see from you guys and when Jaded sends me a link every once in awhile. I've always been more into real money commissions (the only one who's main source of art is via RL commishes according to the poll XD ) but since the R&C isn't so great anymore I have less and less to do on gaia lately. I'll (hopefully) be busy again when my new breedable shop comes out though ninja Ahriah is my co-owner and the artist! I'm excited. ^^

I agree about that R&C issues. sad I really do very very little work looking for people in R&C anymore, and I've completely resigned myself to the fact that nearly all the art I can afford will be pretty average to not great.

I'm fairly happy with my art contest because I'm getting a good bit of art at a good rate, so I think by the time it is done I'll have done pretty well. Nothing stunning so far, but a lot of very cute things:

gonk Rubbing it in my face?! xd ;




Yes, acutions have killed the R&C. It is almost impossible anymore to get really good art if you can't afford auction prices. I didn't mind the merger with minishops (though I did like it a lot better before), but I REALLY want to see an Art Auctions subforum. Or ideally, R&C become a main forum in the Artists Corner, then have Art Freebies, Art Contests, and Art Auctions subforums under it. 3nodding

Noooooraboo! gonk Go pull some strings! xd heh... sweatdrop
