I'd like to practice my art skills, and I figure I may as well do something other people might appreciate, so I'm opening this thread for requests. No guarantees that I'll actually do all of them -- odds are good that I won't, actually. But hopefully I'll be able to do some.

Please be as specific as possible, and feel free to link to images for reference.

Could you draw a Dreadnought kneeling before a gigantic statue of a  two-headed eagle statue? (working on a WH40k storygame and need illustrations)

Thanks, Morgan. Your art giveaways are always the best. 

Style of Dreadnought? There appear to be several.

The Ultramarines Dreadnought, please. It's the blue-grey one, second illustration from the top. 

Hodor

Did a sketch. Which I hate, but that's par for the course with me and my 'art.' Let me know what you think. If you like it, I'll do the finish. If not, suggestions for improvement are welcome.

It's lovely. Thanks so much. 

...dammit, now I actually have to finish it. >_<

I mean... thanks, glad you like it so far. XD

...hope you like it more than I do. >_<

Exactly what I was picturing in my head. Love it. Thanks, Morgan

You're welcome, & glad you like it. ^_^

Is this because of me? *flutter flutter*

Nope! Sorry to disappoint.

A ninja with a game controller livestreaming on twitch. They're wearing a wig on top of their mask, trying desperately to imitate the streamer they just killed a few seconds ago so that they don't get caught, (the streamer is crumpled up in the corner full of ninja knives) but, being a ninja, they can't talk, so they're just gesticulating very wildly at the screen and eyeing the camera.

Too complicated for me, but thanks for the attempt.

I think that was the point. XD

Tempted to ask if you'd take over the request I had for Quiller... hm...
 

Can't hurt to ask!

Have you had a chance to play either of my games? (<-- Not guilting you, relevant to the request, lol.)

Morgan then immediately rushed to quickly play through them.

Bwuahaha... "rushed" through my games? You're funny, Steve. ;P 

Sorry, I haven't actually played them yet. Horror & dystopia aren't my favorite genres... though I have every intention of making an exception for your games, since they're so well-regarded. Just... haven't gotten to it yet. Sorry!

No problem. There's a character from both games that I'd like to see drawn. Talking about said character too much would spoil parts of the game, though... rain-check maybe? Or if you're too busy, I understand. 

Rain check for sure. I've been wanting to get back into playing more games, so I'll just bump yours to the top of the list. ^_^

Black leather

...thanks. XD

I'm curious to see whether or not you are able to draw something similar to this style. The character's name is Akko and she's the protagonist of an animated film called Little witch academia.

I'd be willing to try. Is there a specific pose you wanted?

Oh, thank you! Just your acknowledgement of my request has made me quite enthused. Umm, for the sake of simplicity... peace sign?

Not an exact match for the style, but I hope you like it anyway!

Oh my, this is quite accurate. ^^ It's very lovely, thank you. 

You're very welcome! Thanks for participating. ^_^

It was nothing really, I'm really appreciative of this. n.n 

Hey! You're back :)

Do you want to draw two platonic penguins with top hats?

At one point I actually thought those were fish. Why are people stupid?

...the temptation to make them an adorable gay penguin couple might be too strong. XD

Whatever floats your boat (shipping pun intended).

:D

...okay, that's at the top of my list now. ^_^

Yay, gay penguins. :D (There should be a wedding arch, since they're already in their tuxedos. :3)

There are not words for how deeply offensive and racist that is.

You've got one ref pict as my current image.

And this too.

And this also.

Or you can draw Kaya and Perdana from that old forum game.  Would be interesting.

I really like the coloring & shading used for those drawings.

Thank the ones that drew it; I just hired them :P

Oh I know, I wasn't specifically praising you but whoever the artists were that created those drawings. 

Can I get some info on colors for the female character with the book? Skin/hair/eyes & clothing colors. Also, is her skirt supposed to be tattered, or...?

That's Thinslayer's character.

Ford: "draw cute bunny"

That's what I was actually going to ask, I need an illustration for a work of literature I'm writing. A detailed black and white sketch of him maybe painting or just standing there would be nice.

...you want the cute bunny to be painting? Are we talking a dressed-up anthropomorphic bunny, or...?
 

Anthropomorphic, yeah, he can be dressed up or not whichever you choose

Drat. I liked her pose. Same info for yours?

Daughter (bet you thought they were siblings, eh?) has dark auburn hair with reddish highlights, blue (cerulean) eyes, and light olive skin.

The father has either black or very dark blue hair and a less-than-carrot tan.  Peridot green eyes.

The solo portraits are androgynous, with black hair, cerulean eyes, and fair skin.  Will post links to clarify hood colors.

Option 1. Replace green colors with cerulean.

Complimenting Option 1.

Likewise with Option 2.

Compliment for Option 2.

Cool. Any props for the solo portrait character? Or suggested pose, if I were to do a full-body version?

Draw something nice for me...like a portrait of how you think I look like. That'd be fun!

Notice me Senpai

*reads profile*

Female angel with black wings & hair? I can give it a try... any specific requests for costuming?

I'd like for you to get creative. As a fellow artist, I think you should try your hand on something you think would fit the character!

...creativity is not my strong point right now. >_<

*nudge* cmon.

I know you got this, Morgan. Do your owl-y stuff.

*pokes Morgan with stick*

-Calls PETA and the PC Police on your intolerant ass for beating a gay owl with a stick-

*bites the stick*

I stand by my previous statement. If I'm feeling more creative in the near future, I'll come back to you.

A'ight. Hope that's soon *wink*

Just a quick sketch of a cow?

And a quick sketch of a chicken too :)

Mm, Delish' ous.

What!? Are you a cannibal?

No, I disguise my true self in a chicken outfit to blend in with my prey. Nobody would ever suspect me muahahahahaha.

o_O

...if I'd known you were gonna use it as an avatar, I might've put some actual effort in. Do you want a different background color so it reads better at that size?

Sure, up to you.

[hideously ugly sketch of cow removed]

>_<

...I'll try again later, maybe.

Please draw the Doom Marine. PLEASE.

Unlikely. Not my thing, and I don't see any reason to create sub-par art of something that already has really well-executed art.

Hmm....what about your take on a super-soldier type guy? I'd love to see you draw it, bad or good.

I'll consider it.

If you do, a robotic exoskeleton would be a nice touch.

Nevermind.

Incidentally, the protagonist of my visual novel is named Morgan. Maybe it's fate.

That is a NICE looking hitman.

Or hitwoman.

I don't know what the term is, I'm not an assassin.

Thanks! My character artist did a great job with the design. And she's not a hit(wo)man, she's a...security consultant...

(She works for a private military corporation, so she's more like a mercenary.)

"Secretary Consultant"?

Mmm hmm.

(Whatever floats your goat)

Security consultant is such a wonderful euphemism! Although she does bodyguard jobs and such things most often, not hits.

Damn auto correct, sorry.

... then why is she holding a silenced pistol and wearing gloves?

She's holding a silenced pistol because guns are very loud and she doesn't want to damage her hearing. She's wearing gloves because she's a sorcerer and her hands are covered in magic tattoos, which people tend to find stranger than gloves.

Reminds me of HeroMachine...

The portraits have a pretty simple style because they're animated, so having dark shadows would look weird for extreme movements. Although I've learned that extreme animations are really hard to do anyway, so maybe we could have gone for a more detailed style...

But yeah here are a couple examples of different expressions at least so you can get the idea:

http://www.projectbc.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/db_1.jpg

http://www.projectbc.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/db_5.jpg (please note her head and body are at a different angle here; that was very annoying to set up)

http://www.projectbc.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/db_6.jpg (her head is tilted up, which was also annoying to do)

I wanna animate her going into a firing pose and folding her arms and stuff, but I think it's gonna be too hard and I'm just gonna have to get my artist to redraw the arms. :/

Nice. This is kind of a case where I don't think I can improve on the original art, though...

You're just giving out art, owl lady?!

WHY THE HELL DID I ENTER A CONTEST?!

Have a portfolio or something so I can check out the kind of art you do first?

Nope! Feel free to watch the thread to see what people get, though.

Midna, from Zelda Twilight Princess.

Posed like this

On wolf-Links back.

This is like, the third time I've seen you post this.

The man knows what he wants. To an eerily specific degree.

*woman

*girl

2nd. Ignored the first time.

;-;

You didn't have to say that...


for all you know I might still be working on the structure...

Totally planning to do this one, FYI. ^_^

Could've sworn you said uncubify instead of unchibify...

Fine, no ninja!? An adorable baby cow, (Or, rather, an adorable blob monster shaped vaguely like and pretending to be an adorable baby cow,) "grabbing" an adorable little chicken and eating its feet off adorably.

YOU MONSTER, HOW COULD YOU?!!!!

Chickens are delicious, does it matter where you start?

You speak true wisdom, my Scottish friend, I have nothing against eating chickens.

What I DO have against are hideous thick-headed bovines devouring MY beloved prey.

Hey, cows are nice! Some of my favorite ex-girlfriends are cows! *Painful, off-key rimshot, finger guns, instantly wears tweed  tuxedo.*

Besides, it's a blob-monster/beanie baby pretending to be a cow in order to gain the chicken's trust. Totally not a real actual baby cow. Nope.

^ If you could, Morgan, graciously fulfill Sent's wish that'd be extremely kind of you /o/
But I wish I could've seen the sketch you did before you took it off, I'm sure it was lovely
 

EDIT: It should be noted, that the blob monster, while it is a blob monster, definitely looks something like a baby cow, with spots and legs and and facial features and stuff. It's basically a beanbag animal, actually.

You come up with the WEIRDEST stuff, Sent.

...I'll do my best. XD

Since Sky and I are known as 'Cow' and 'Chicken' respectively irl, I am very offended.

The Chicken Faction are mass-rioting in the streets right now at this blasphemy.

Look mate, chickens are delicious you betcha. Why do you deny our bovine friends this delightful food?

Because bovines deserve to be exterminated. Every last one of them.

(You're not supposed to know that though.)

(Then stop making it be publicly known you idiot.)

Is all this resentment from when I commented on Scout's ability to milk? Or your Pyro-maining (mphm-mmph)? Oh soz dude.

I could tell you exactly why I asked for this, but I don't want to spoil whatever image you've gleaned from this post. I need to see your interpretation! ^v^

Awesome. In the interests of successful unchibification... approximate age & general build?

Hmm. Free art, you say?

May I please receive a more skillfully crafted image of my profile (The only drawing software I have at the moment is Paint)? Oh, and glowing blue energy in one hand, similar to Kiel_Farren?

Thanks!

You're using Paint when stuff like GIMP and Paint.net are free..?

Lol. Yeah... I don't have enough space on my computer to download those. Well, I mean, I probably do... but I can't download them.

FYI, I'm busy tonight & tomorrow, but will get back to this on Sunday! ^_^

George Costanza riding a giant bald eagle pls.

What the fuck Morgan.

also this was a joke I just wanted to clarify that sorry for the small text if you're reading this without copy+pasting you're a god

I guess I'm a god, then.

I'm a god too! Whoopee!

SteveBacon A grizzly bear.

Don't ask.

Just grizzly bear.

Hungah

of

the

Twine.

There's a fairly well-received game on Steam that was made from Twine.  Forgot its name tho.

I'm flattered that you think I'm spending my time on something productive like Twine. XD

Honestly, I've been having kind of a rough week. I do plan to get back to this, though.

That would be beautiful!

XD

XD

Everything I dreamed of and more.

Where did all those needless lines come from!? What is this overdesigned Final Fantasy bullshit!?

Gears of War 4 Alpha!

Excuse you; no fewer than fifteen painstaking minutes have gone into this piece! Less isn't always more, you know!

It is fifteen minutes wasted! Look at it! Oodles and oodles of details on details! A shameless deviation from the original design, detracting from the expression of the original piece and providing nothing for the eye to properly focus on! To merely glimpse this shameful, over detailed chaos fills my soul with disappointment, it is an actual detriment to the art world and highlights everything that's wrong with Square Enix these days!

The poor pure white! Where did it go?! This looks like a wall! A WALL! With bumps and differences in color. This thing is a disgrace. It should be burned at the stake!

Oh, there's no need. I've already done the necessary exposure compensation. Whatever makes you standpats happy, right?

Unbelievable.

What is this!? A pure white wall?! Do you take any pride in your art?! This is horrific, no detail in the slightest. Not even a speck of anything interesting! Downright awful, just awful!
