I am in desperate need for a proficient drawing of my OC character.
I have goods that I can trade in exchange for a masterpiece, but for the most part; everything I have is already spoken for.

The Character. Ziro - The last light.
For the most part, my character looks a lot like my avatar, but I'm looking for something not so chibi. Something a serious role player can use as a point of reference.
Take away the kiki. I also have an angelic bow of some sort. It doesn't have to look like the gaian version at all.. it just needs to be serene; it was a gift from the archangel Michael, himself, after all. The scythe is important as well, as it was stolen from the 7th layer of hell. Artistic freedom is definitely appreciated, as this is just what gaia has to offer. If you're capable of making a more ghoulish scythe; by all means give it a shot.

The weapons don't need to both be equipped in the picture.

The hair in my avatar is pretty spot on. Though I would like to see with some black streaks maybe? Use your best judgement, try to make this epic.
An eyepatch is a must, the mask is not. Back in the day there was no way to make my good eye glow white. That was the look I wanted.. because it took Ziro to lose an eye, to gain sight beyond the veil. As far as the outfit, None of the details that are in my avatar matter so much; As long as he is wearing a long black coat. And the rest of his ensemble has black and purple throughout.
I always liked the look of the headband, but If you could represent the flaps in some other fashion, take the liberty.
The owl, is optional.. but brownie points. Pig, is basically an NPC guiding character in my video game script. He's a spirit owl, and a gift from Gabriel.. AND HE'S ADORABLY PUDGY <3 sleeping in Ziro's hair, only because he's too fat to fly.

That's most of the detail. His complexion is fair.. and his face should be stern, but not evil. Ziro is a champion for all life, he's the good guy; don't ever forget that. Sometimes it's hard to see between black and white..


Secondary Submission: Origin story:
Ziro actually had a normal life before all this started. He had green, shaggy and unkempt hair.. similar to the style he has not, but foresty green. He was a hunter/ranger and proficient with bows and crossbows, and a friend to the forest.
He had a wife and a 1 year old baby.. they were murdered on a hunting expedition by forces unknown (to you anyway) If you feel like including one or the other, BONUS points, but it's not necessary. I don't have a specific look for either.
Clothes aren't as important here either. So in a nutshell: Gruffy green hair'd ranger/archer.. similar to whatever the original submission will be; without all the angelic/demonic auras to him. He was just a regular guy.

If you are a really talented artist; and think that this might be too much to ask for a freebie.. well I might agree with you. I also have a contest going on, where the prize top prize is a kiki kitty. This is more for those who enjoy drawing on a casual scale :]
Art Contest

I'm ALSO in the market for a super kind forum manager, or just someone to create a nice banner for me.. I'm basically gaia illiterate anymore.. I have some goods I could exchange for either one of these services.. My Black Ops gear is currently unclaimed.
