Title: A Couple Freebies and Trades [Closed]
Post by: John Red Beard on July 16, 2017, 10:05:39 PM
I want to have a few examples to advertise for commissions with, so I'm giving away a few freebies to forum members. Here's what I want to do. Comment to claim a slot. First come, first served. Anyone's welcome to claim a trade, regardless of skill level.


2 Free Commissions: 1-2 characters, plain background, cell shading.


2 Trades: 1-2 characters, plain or simple background, comic book style shading.

I'd like to do a trade o3o
(Because I like the sound of that comic book style :P )

Anything you're looking for with the trade?

(I have a variety of characters, so what would you rather draw? Dragon, owl, bunny?)

I could take one of the freebies if there's still some avaliable ^3^

My reference should be linked with the info on the left!

Mr Razot and Timmy Fox have the freebies. Ventus has one of the trades. One trade still open.


Timmy: Any particular pose or action you'd like?


Ventus: Those all sound interesting. Your choice. For your half of the trade, how would you feel about drawing one of my goth bunny characters? https://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=33515.msg1920636#msg1920636 (https://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=33515.msg1920636#msg1920636)

Do whatever you like, I like surprises!

Ok. I'll try to come up with something fun.
Title: Re: A Couple Freebies and Trades [One trade still open]
Post by: John Red Beard on July 20, 2017, 07:36:08 PM

I had fun drawing this. Hope you like it. I think it's cute as heck.

Mr Razot and Ventus, I'm ready to get to work on your pictures any time. I just need to know what characters and such you want.

Mr Razot and Ventus, I'm ready to get to work on your pictures any time. I just need to know what characters and such you want.

(Sorry for late reply, was away for nearly a week without internet.)

Sure, I'd like to draw one of those! I'd never say no to bunnies ;)

AH, uhm, you decide! I want you to decide :P
Which one would you want to draw, your choice :3
Unless you really can't choose.

Ok. How about the owl? I've never drawn an anthro owl before, so it'd be good practice.


Would it be too much to ask for you to make Iffy (the girl bunny) into one of your boxed critters?
Title: Re: A Couple Freebies and Trades [One trade still open]
Post by: Ventus Fall on July 27, 2017, 12:13:28 PM
I did not see this until now O.o   Sorry about that.

And owl is good ^^
That wouldn't be too much to ask, no! I would gladly put her in a box for you :D
Anything you can tell me about her? What does she like/hate? That sort of thing, something so I can perhaps make it more personal for you.
Title: Re: A Couple Freebies and Trades [One trade still open]
Post by: John Red Beard on July 27, 2017, 03:28:46 PM
She's very sardonic and sarcastic, with a dry sense of humor that she uses to mask a very sensitive and caring heart. She likes to draw and write poetry, and has a couple close friends but keeps everyone else at arms length.


Tell me a bit about your owl character. Do you have any reference inages?
Title: Re: A Couple Freebies and Trades [One trade still open]
Post by: Ventus Fall on July 27, 2017, 09:45:18 PM
Hmmmm, I can work with that ^_^

Here is the reference (it's animated): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/22338322/ (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/22338322/)
If you want the larger version: http://ventus-fall.deviantart.com/art/ANIMATED-Kakusei-Reference-Sheet-658350545 (http://ventus-fall.deviantart.com/art/ANIMATED-Kakusei-Reference-Sheet-658350545)

It should have most/all information on there to hopefully give an idea.
Uhm... other short bits of information to add... *thinks*
Kakusei (the owl character) has a rather quiet personality. Observes mostly, but if needed can step in and help. Does so especially with others close to them and can be rather protective of them (once again, only if needed and if it's justified, Kakusei wants to always try to get the facts straight and wants to make the least mistakes possible).
(As of which, the rest of the body is covered in short fur and feathers, even though I haven't drawn that or mentioned it on the ref.sheet. )

Just a quick update. I have the linework done, but I'm covering for two other people at work this week, so it's taking longer than I'd like. Hoping I'll be able to finish it over the weekend.

I was expecting this to take a couple more days, but I finished it up tonight. The background is something I had on hand from another project.

Reminder: There's still one slot open for a trade, if anyone's interested.

Oh 'eck, this reply is a bit late but oh well


I would absolutely love to have my D&D character, Lost Trail, drawn!

Who do you want me to draw?
Thanks for doing a trade with me <3 x

Post by: John Red Beard on September 03, 2017, 06:24:11 PM
No problem. I just landed a sizable commission that I have to do first, but I'm still happy to do a trade and your character looks cool. Is there anything in particular you'd like her to be doing in the picture?


If you could draw my secondary fursona Daome, that'd be great. If you can have her drawing or painting, I'd like that, but a simple portrait would be good too.


On the right

Post by: kiindling on September 03, 2017, 07:05:03 PM
That's fine xD
I totally understand, so take all the time you need c:
If you could draw her just standing with her whip in her hand, that would be super cool, but a portrait would be fine c:
And I'll be happy to draw her! Let me get to work x
