...I'm doing requests. I've got these blank, 3.5'' heavyweight craft coasters that I need to test various media on for when I eventually open for them officially as commissions, so I require a gullible lackey willing volunteer to lend me subject matter or a character for this. I will either be doing it in graphite, ballpoint or colored pencil (my choice, depending how I feel). I likely will only be choosing one this time, although depending it might be two. I seldom do requests and I feel like drawing other people's nerds for a change. Edit: It's worth it to note that I will only consider requests from watchers. I'll also find it mighty suspicious if I find a watch pop up right around when someone new comes in with a comment...

Since these are for fun and are free, I will not promise an estimated completion time, nor do I want to be hounded about it! I'll either have enough free time between trades and paid work to get it done really quickly, or it might be a while. Patience is a virtue.

So! If you don't mind being my experiment, leave any pertinent character references and the like in the comments section (I'd rather not use my notes, since those are primarily for personal use and business) and include any other details about the character that are important enough. The finished product will likely be a portrait or bust, so keep that in mind.

For your consideration, I will generally lean towards subject matter that I in general have the most fun drawing (naturally) so these are the themes I'm most likely to pick: humanoids, fae, your GW2 characters (good screenshots do nicely for references), fantasy/sci-fi, steampunk, cyberpunk, monsters or really unusual or interesting anthro characters. However, surprises can definitely happen and I might pick something entirely out of the norm, so throw anything my way!

In somewhat related news, still interested in getting a Celtic or Norse-inspired piece? I'm still open for these commissions till March 31st!
