Drawing avatars and signatures!

[Ket Shi]

Hi, and welcome! I'm not the greatest artist around, but I enjoy drawing animals. I'll make you an avatar or image for your signature if you like my style. (You can see my work in my signature.) I'd be happy to draw you something so long as you'll use it, so please have 20 posts or more. And don't be shy; if you want a picture, just ask in the thread, you don't need to PM me! Just a few rules, please:

1. Animals only. If the beastie you want isn't from Warcraft, link me a picture. If it's something you're making up from scratch, leave a description.
2. If you want a certain pose, accessories, backgrounds, etc, please tell me. I'll make the backgrounds transparent unless you ask otherwise.
3. Specify if you want an avatar or signature image. If you're after an avatar, please specify if you want the whole body, a headshot, or something else, since there is so little room to work with.
4. Only request a picture from me if you're intending to use it for a while. Don't make me draw something for you if you'll discard it after a couple days. If you don't like what I made for you and won't use it, say so. Each picture can take twenty minutes to over an hour to make; this isn't just me posing stuff in WoWModelView. Check in when it's done so that you'll be able to see the results. Don't leave an orphaned picture!

If you've requested a signature image, you'll have to do an extra step to get it in your signature. Right-click and save the image, then upload to your image hosting of choice (such as Photobucket or ImageShack). Once it's hosted, then you can paste the image's url into your signature and surround it with [img] codes. Please tell me if you need any assistance getting it into your signature or if you'd like it resized.

Request away! I'll do my best to meet your needs.

I'm not looking to replace my signature or avatar, but I wanted to say that you have a beautiful style. I love how you drew the demon dog.

[Khishay]

Omg love the demon puppy!

I would love it if you could work your magic and make me a signature with the white tiger from WoW. I'll leave the pose and such up to your discretion!

Are you sure? If I remember right, you can only have one image in your signature, so that means your dragon would get pushed out.

Thanks for the compliments.

[Khishay]

I'm rather tired of having to swap out dragons every time they grow up.. The one in my sig has been there a while

Besides, I'd much prefer a drawn and colored one that wouldn't require so much... swapping!

[Khishay]

Zomgosh!!! It's better than I even imagined! Love it!

Edit: I prefer w/o the background... I like the tiger more then the scene behind it! if that makes sense!

Edit 2: Just a quick suggestion, mostly for clarification. Might help to put info of how you want your, uh, requestors? to upload it. Should I save and use my photoshack or what? >.<

[Ket Shi]

Save it, and then upload it to your hosting of choice.

[Khishay]

Thanks. I was just making sure I wouldn't be stepping on any toes by loading to photobucket. That's what I kind of assumed >.<

Thanks so much for the signature!

I like your work.

[Saturo]

Ooh! Really nice! Mind if I ask you how you did the shading, like on the stomach? Ive been trying to learn, but my work is kinda' meh ATM.

The "shading" is actually very simple. I used the eyedropper tool to pick up a darker area of color. Then, I got a large-sized soft brush and turned the opacity setting down. I zoomed in and painted the cat's underside and and face and legs starting on the left.

[Saturo]

Hmm... I've been experimenting with darker colours in other layers, but not with opacity... Thanks for the tip! :)

[Teigan]

You have a very nice style. Just might have to request something..hmm...

[Azunara]

Alrighty. Let's do this.

Is it possible to have a bronze drake and the white NE druid cat form together in a siggy? The cat would be sitting and the bronze would be behind her, his head and tail pretty much curled around her in a protective kind of manner....

Or if that looks wonky, just do what you please. No background necessary. Just a bronze and the white kitty NE druid form. (Azunara and her bronze drake, Kozridormu, if it matters...)

I'd love if you could do a Shiney Umbreon for my avatar. Maybe one curled up looking as though she's asleep. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/ ... breonA.png It's the colour scheme on the right. Thanks if you do it!

[Ket Shi]

Was this what you were looking for, Azu?



Also, tiny Umbreon.

[Azunara]

Aaaaw. I really like it! The grin on the kitty is awesome, Azunara is a very young, very quirky cat so it fits fantastically! And the expression on the drake is an, "Uh-oh."

[Kira]

Awww, it's so cute! I love it so much, thank you!

[Bulletdance]

If you have time could you make me a little moonkin avatar? I love Moonkins
