Hello, everyone!

I'm drawing every day to improve my skills, and I would absolutely love to create some artwork for you all. I have never done quads before, so while I would be willing to give it a shot for the experience, the results may not be pretty. If you could provide a description about the character (what setting they're often found in, their personality, hobbies, fav color, whatever) that would be awesome. I will work from description if you don't have a reference image! :)

As paintings take me anywhere between 30-60 hours, what you will most likely receive is a sketch or a pixel doll. If I fall in love with your character, I may develop it further. If I create the work traditionally and you would like to own it, let me know. You'd need to pay shipping cost, but that's it.

If I owe any of you artwork from the past, please let me know and I will prioritize you for whatever you want. I'm serious. I was young and immature, and I have left those days behind me.

Note: if you are interested in tipping, literally anything from my WL is more than fine and very appreciated.

I'd love to have you draw something for me~ I dunno what you feel like drawing, so here's a couple different options.

Cas (Casara Talbot, who goes by Castor Mallory for work) is a traumatized, anxious, withdrawn, and often frightened girl in her mid/late teens. She crossdresses for various reasons including safety when working -- she's a courier, running messages around a city filled with monsters. She's haunted by a creature that lives in shadows and is tied to her. It often torments her by twisting her perception, but at least it doesn't kill everyone that comes near her anymore. She's quite good at hiding her fear in general, but she refuses to let people get close, and is often brusque, but this is to cover shyness and a friendly nature that she knows will get her in trouble with those around her, if not because of the demon lurking in her shadow. She's not as successful as she would like at staying uninvolved with others, but she does her best. She's a tall young lady, lean and wiry with narrow hips, broad shoulders, and a small bust that she binds flat in her male guise. She is rather androgynous, and falls somewhere between mildly cute and unremarkably plain, with an upturned nose and shadowed grey eyes.

The demon, Shakti, is usually in her shadow and only visible to Cas while there, just a vague outline and glowing eyes. When it manifests, it is a towering humanoid with things that might be feathered wings on its back, and long, sharp claws instead of fingers. It is still merely a dark and featureless form, save for the glowing eyes. (no need to draw the demon, though, that's just in case you want to add it or something)

Elven minstrel Tryilendarel Nerinya is quite tall, though very much a thin fellow that only avoids looking gangly because he's an elf.  A sun elf, he has lightly tanned skin and extremely pale platinum blonde hair that falls a bit past his shoulders.  His golden eyes are lively, often with a cheerful or playful expression.  He has an excellent eye for color and cut, and makes sure he wears things that make him look good.  He's not the sort of person everyone finds appealing to the eye, but usually enough ladies do that he doesn't lack a pretty face to keep him company.


Trill is completely feckless, and a bit of a coward.  He avoids conflict and actively runs from physical fights, not that he's any good at fighting.  All he wants in life is freedom and a good time.  If he can get out of working hard or applying himself, he will.  Much like his illusions, he has a bright personality that many find lacking on close examination.  It's not that he's entirely shallow, it's just that he doesn't try unless it's something he himself thinks important.  He’s quite clever, despite the way he acts, and his creativity is useful when he finds himself in a pinch.  He cares about his music with a passion that surpasses everything else, even his fondness for the ladies.  Trill is a flirt and a moderately successful one.  He thinks highly of women, even though he does have some gender-biased views, and does his best to be considerate.  He's completely up front about the fact that he does not intend to linger, though his idea of a short time can be several months or even a year, if the fancy strikes him to stay for a while.  Precisely how long he stays is often related to how well he gets along with the local single ladies -- and how many of them express interest.

Aside from illusions he has no skill in magic, and in fact kept having to retake the same lessons in school past when most his age had graduated -- up until when, sick of dodging teachers and no progress, he trained a flock of birds to follow him on command and shut them in the headmaster's office.  At that point they kicked him out, which had been his hope.  He doesn't pull as many pranks as he did in his early years, since he is off on his own, but Trill still has an active sense of humor.  His harp originally belonged to his grandfather, a human minstrel afflicted with a similar wanderlust.  It is his most valued possession.  He is currently staying in a city near the outskirts of the country's capital, in the company of Miraem Kastern.  Trill is very fond of the young healer, and he's a little worried about just how much he likes her.  He's been staying in her town for almost a year and a half now, longer than he's stayed anywhere else.

Miraem Kastern (Mira)

Miraem has very dark brown hair with a bit of wave and striking blue-gray eyes. She is fair of face, with a lighter mid-range skin tone that darkens in summer and gains a few freckles across her cheeks. She has two scars, one down the left side of her face and another across her left shoulder and down her upper arm. She doesn’t like them, partially because she doesn’t like how they look, and partially because they can attract attention, but she’s learned to accept them. She's on the short side, but quite curvy, though she wishes her bust was a bit larger. She generally wears simple blouses and skirts with just a little bit of embroidery for decoration, though she will tie her skirt up if it makes what she's doing easier. She's fond of bright colors and pretty things, though she doesn't often have the opportunity to wear either.

Mira is studious, paying close attention in schooling, and often asking well-considered questions, both in class and elsewhere. She soaks up knowledge about anything and everything, and is always eager to learn something new, or master a new skill. She loves reading, especially outside. If the weather isn’t nice enough to be outside, then a cozy window seat is the next best thing. She’s caring and pretty friendly, willing to lend a hand where it’s needed. She has a strong moral compass and does not waver if she believes something is right, to the point of pigheadedness. She is brutally honest, and her frank, blunt words can easily come across as unkind if not downright rude, especially since she doesn't tend to keep her opinion to herself. She tries to keep a level head even in difficult situations, though she cannot equal her mother’s serenity in the face of danger. However Mira does have a short temper, and can be unreasonable and irrational when angered. She tends to be optimistic but sensible, confident in her abilities and secure in her identity. She likes challenging herself, but more for the sense of accomplishment than out of any need to prove herself to others.

She comes from a long line of healers, and always wanted to follow in their footsteps. But when light mages carried the day against marauders that employed a necromancer and his undead minions, she decided that she wished to defend those who cannot defend themselves, and has taken up combat as well, specializing in the glaive. She's attending a mage's college in the capital, to further her healing skill. A year and a half ago, an elven musician turned up in town. She was fascinated by his stories of far-off people and places, and his vibrant personality, and the musician was quickly captivated by Mira’s intensity. He often found himself telling her more than he meant to, particularly about himself. Ironically, it was those glimpses of something more, particularly his intelligence, that made her like him as a person, and eventually allow him in her heart and in her bed. She knows he will move on eventually, and while she’ll miss him she believes she’s strong enough to get over him.

...this turned into a monster. hides

OMG I am drawing Cas tomorrow! I have the perfect idea and hopefully it ends up to your liking. :) The others are good as well, and I will likely draw them at another time if that is okay.

It's more than okay. squeaking Yay, arts for teh Cas! <3 thank you!

Hey, can you please draw one of my chars?

1. Lirael - she has a faun roots, but only left for her from ancestors are horns and love for music; she is biology student, taxidermist and autumn lover. Her favourite colors are red, orange, yellow and green. She is a ginger with dreadlocks.
2. Kora - forest fairy, love to collect some nature materiálu and making jewellery from them. Very shy.
3. Trollhunter - my HA, folklorist (hardcore edition - she would like to collect all world myths and seen every faerie it speaks about), she is wanderer and hiker in love with nature and folk rock music. She collecting postcards with trolls, fairies, gnomes and many other magical creatures.
4. Insomnie - she is wolpertinger. Very active and unstoppable one. In love with food - herbs and candies. Like every "casual" wolpertinger she has snake fangs, rabbit body, duck wings and deer antlers.
5. Captainess - red chinese dragoness, in love with tea and hookahs
6. Desmondo - field jollin, hate noisy towns, in love with toadstool 7,8,9) Amanita, Selia, Narkolepsie - my World of Warcraft characters, still without "soul" - better description. I only know now, that Amanita live with Desmondo & Selia is very good troll alchemist
7. What to speak about Narkolepsie? She travel around Azeroth with Insomnie. They are absolutely different, like black and white, but still live together and enjoy each other like Yin & Yang.

All chars have some picture references here, so you can check how they looks, because I described mostly how are they inside and not, how they looks.

[edit] I edited some mistakes, so sorry for double-pinging!

Finished! :) I went a little overboard and ended up developing it into lineart. :) Some day when I have time I may end up painting it. Cas is a lovely character.

You can find her here. If you'd like the full size or you'd like the version without the sketch underlayer, just sMail me and I'll send it to you privately.

Ooooh, dear gods I squealed so hard~! She looks lovely! I would indeed like the lineart-only version, but first I need to dive in your WL...

Thank you so much for the tip! :) I'm very glad that you like it. It was fun creating a character that is more androgynous than obviously feminine. Also, playing with proportions was fun! Typically the characters I draw are hourglass, but Cas has narrow hips and wide shoulders, which changed some things around.

grins I'm glad you had fun switching things up. <3 Got the smail, thanks!

Hello! Tomorrow I am going to give Kora a try, if that is all right. :) I share a special kinship with characters who are gatherers/crafters, so I know she is going to be a lot of fun.

Nice, I'm excited! I really like how you sketch this Cas and I'm so curious, how will Kora look :D

Sorry about that! I should have known better than to think I would have time to draw the day before Thanksgiving, with all the cooking. I'll shoot you another ping when Kora is good and done. :)

heh, OK :D it's np at all :D

would you draw my current ha?

Would you be interested in any of my OCs? Links to my charahub in my signature.

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that I am working on Kora, though it is slow-going thus far since I had relatives over for Thanksgiving. Here is a preview of what I have done between today and yesterday.

Welcome to my thread! I'd be happy to draw for the two of you once I have finished with Kora. :) Did you have a nice Thanksgiving?

yay I can't wait ^-^ Yes good thanksgiving, how about you?

I like it sooo much! <3 But only one thing... can u make her hair a little bit "voluminous"? :D (im not native speaker, so I dont know, if I can use this word in this meaning... o.O I mean.. larger :D)

No worries, it will be. :) I'd only sketched out the back shadow of her hair. Her back is exposed in the sketch, and it's going to be totally covered in thick hair.

It was super busy, as I did all of the cooking after work and the day-of, from scratch. :p Wouldn't have been so bad, but breads take a long time because of all the rises. :)

Adorable <3
