Anyone happen to know what the average commission would run? OKAY SO HERE'S HOW COMMISSIONS WORK (or, "How Commissions Work in the Professional Art World") The terms of negotiation include (but are not limited to): 1. Medium (but this is the least important part of it) 2. How many pieces of art are required 3. What size(s) it/they must be 4. How much time will be spent on the piece(s) 5. Sketches (most artists give two free sketch phases and charge for any additional sketch phases because the damned client ought to have made up his mind by then) AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: 6. Where/how the piece will be used. Is it for private enjoyment? Is it promotional material for a company? If so, will the company use it just once, or over and over? Will the company own the physical artwork itself (this gets tricky with digital art), or just the rights to it? The end. Sorry to geek out. I'm an illustrator; we have to know this stuff inside and out so that we don't get taken advantage of. Fame of the artist doesn't really come into play per se...The thing that DOES raise the price with famous artists is the fact that they're usually very busy...you have to pay more to give him/her more incentive to take your commission over someone else's. My friend just got a major commission from Exxon. She's getting BIG BUCKS because she knows how to negotiate!!

Currently this guy is my mental image of Sarosin Narita: Then again, given the propensity of RP characters to have Japanese names with no Japanese ancestry, I can't be sure Sarosin is actually Japanese like this man (a supporting character in Darker than Black who, for the benefit of those Baccano! watchers, is voiced by the guy who did Ronnie the demon, which should give you an idea of the sort of person this character is).

Boyfriend posing as Terrian. After this photo was taken he stopped looking smug and sheepishly asked me to help him rebutton his cuffs.

Actually, after a good shave, Iron Mouse's boyfriend might make a dashing Terrian.

After a cruddy shave, I might make a good Zebedee. There needs to be more BEARD in RP. True story. As is, like... Only Zebby stubble and Jonas/Joseph beard really stand out. Mustaches? Who wants a mustache? Maybe Vegeta. But, other than him? What, some unstylish old gentlemen? Well, and Orville. But he's supposed to be a bit of a cad. PUT SOME HAIR ON THAT CHIN, LAD! (look how sad the man without a beard looks. Only a SADIST would inflict that upon their cast!) What? You say you can't be classy while sporting a beard? I SAY THEE NAY! And if one must adhere to mustaches or some bizarre sideburns, at least make them epic. This has been the Beard Appreciation and Cultivation Society. Plant a beard today, and create a better world for tomorrow.

I love that you know who Terrian is. Of course I know who Terrian is. I may not be in Ish but I read it at length. And Blubs has filled me in on everything I don't already know. Also, after the unanimous cry of awesome about facial hair, I propose that Terrian, or at least one of his copies, grows a beard.

While I was at my computer this is what Iorn Mouse said while sitting at the couch.
"I don't understand why he thinks I wouldn't know who Terrian is. You can't go anywhere on this site without stepping in a big pile of Terrian."
Archipelago Exodus - Home of Terrian Brogue, and other lesser known people of little importance!

The site should now be called Terrian Brogue:The Man, The Legend...featuring the Archipelago Exodus Players.

I'm more fond of Boomlandia or Boomistan, though Boomistan sounds like a terrorist country.

Blaise has big boobs. Is this a running gag at this point? Also, in case you didn't feel like copying and pasting from the shoutbox, here's Rie's likeness in video game form. Well, Rie if she ever wore make up.

Pretty close. Though I wouldn't really say that girl looks too much younger than present Blaise, who is in her mid-twenties. And her chest is a bit bigger than what present day Blaise would be sporting.
Actually, my initial concept of Blaise was fairly average. Even now, I only think of her as being a wee bit above average. Maybe one cup size? I dunno. But anywho, yeah. If I was going to do one of those creepy "breast size comparison charts" those Japanese artists churn out all the time, it'd go something like: Achenes Thyra Helen (Helen, as a bit of a personal running gag, is supposed to be totally average on her physical attributes. Something along the lines of her being my most "Average" personality, despite the fact that she's a purple haired master of the arcane.) Natalie Emily Blaise Maude Flora (Naturally, as Flora is my take on a Kevin-style character, she's a bit better endowed than the rest of my cast, IMO.)
Of course, recently, there was a hoax circulating the internet about how Breast Size ties into IQ. If that was true, then all bets would be off. Since, as everybody can tell, Blaise does everything within her power to look intelligent.

I imagine that it'd be easy enough to put her into one though.

Wrong topic, I'm afraid. This belongs over in the Art board, not here (this is a topic for external images that happen to resemble characters, not our own artistic work).
But in any case, I dig the curlicue parts of her outfit.

I don't know how many of you base characters on images or scour the net for an image that looks similar to your characters by I do. And if you do feel free to post them here!!!
