ART MEME

OH, HOW VERY PRETTY!

The next wave of changes are up ahead - while all ye wait to trot your new monstrous beauties out for the public of the peninsula to behold, let's get a bit of material for beholding made for ourselves!

Use the two headers below:
COMMISSIONS - if you're a professional who'd like to draw up monsters for compensation, post here with your terms/info and samples.
REQUESTS/TRADES - if-a you don't consider yourself as such but would be willing to do a bit of drawing in exchange for images of your characters, or if you're simply curious who'd be willing to take a crack at references/images you can use and/or admire, post here.
BESTIARY - if you have art/designs you'd be willing to donate to the game's Bestiary pages for reference, post 'em here!

(And of course if you're not in the market for anything but are a fan of drawing monsters, there's nothing to stop you from freely leaving doodles for requesters without a toplevel of your own!)

And rats, I've misplaced my last eraser, and so until I can pick up a new one and keep on working, I thought I'd let you see/hear the start I pictured! On first thinking to draw her in a pose holding a cigarette, off of the ethereal-liches option, I started to imagine tendrils and/or a veil of smoke "tying her together", which the feather boa could probably possibly played into at least aesthetically someway, with features such as pallor and sunken/glazed eyes lending to a ghoulish appearance but not a full-on zombielike one.

Your thoughts, tweaks/different directions, or recommendations?

Oh my GOSH, I love this concept so freaking much. Seriously, I just got in from the gym and I stink but I had to crash here in front of my computer before getting in the shower I was so anxious to tell you how much I squealed when I saw it. It's PERFECT. I especially love her legs, hot damn. Your idea for smoke is also baller, and I'm digging the ghoulish (rather than corpsey) appearance for her since she IS still supposed to be kind of glamorous.

I am this game's idiot art baby so I feel really lame suggesting anything in the face of a really striking concept like that, but I like the idea of her hair being fuller and fluffier in an almost art nouveau-ish silhouette (since your sketch really reminds me of that style in the best way). I also like the idea of her colors being bright and matching Freak Show's aesthetic, but having those colors muted. Her "Gods and Monsters" costume is probably what I'd go with for her palette/look, so silvers, whites and dark emerald greens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGlGeH3CYpk

Thank you so, so much. I LOVE this.

And eep, a somewhat slow response, but I cannot tell you how happy I am if what I've said/drawn is anything you like enough (and for the additional compliment)!

It's not lame at all, and ahh, dear, to be honest, I was wondering if I should be doing anything more with her hair right along with her boa - all of that sounds lovely, and, haa, a perfect moment to draw aesthetic from, indeed! I'll try not to keep you waiting too long on a final drawing, and thanks for responding to this and, again, giving your approvals of those ideas!

I really do love it! And there's no rush, my gosh. You're so kind to draw her at all. :')

And rats, sorry it took me this long to follow up - and also that there isn't variance in line size; I've misplaced a couple of my pens! However, this is how an attempt at tweaking and color-splashing turned out!

Oh my gosh! I'm sure it's amazing. This link isn't working for me unfortunately. :(

Huh! Trying a simpler link, then!

SCREAMING, because holy wow, I love it so much. D: Dude this is incredible. Thank you SO much; I'm going with every single one of these design choices and I'm going to put it in Elsa's journal as a reference if that's OK. You made a Lich gorgeous and you made me extremely happy. ;;

Ahh, my word, I am so happy if you like it enough and are happy likewise! ❤ That is absolutely fine, and cheers!
