Title: Miro Does Art!
Post by: Miro on February 23, 2013, 12:43:59 pm
Miro can do art for you!  But keep in mind that Miro is still a learning and growing artist, so she doesn't guarantee anything will be "perfect".  Originally she intended to just offer simple work such as sketches and avatars/signatures for free, but being the demand here isn't high, she decided to be open to any and all requests.  Donations are appreciated, but not necessary.

Filling out the form below isn't strictly required, but would be wise so that Miro knows what you want.  Do not expect Miro to get a screenshot of your character for you.  Miro uses old models for most races, so if you want something drawn based off of Luclin models and Hero's Forge items, Miro will not see them on her screen and she will not be changing her settings to get something that is your responsibility to provide.  If no reference images are provided and/or you choose not to fill out the form, your resulting image will be the product of what Miro sees on her own screen with low poly models combined with her own imagination.  Like it or not, a more specifically tailored image to you requires you to proved more info and references.  Miro is not a mind reader.

If you're wondering why some of them are signed "Tes", it's because Miro is known as Tes elsewhere on the interwebs.  Ones Miro does for guildies will be signed "Miro" (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_3nodding.gif)

*~ORDER FORM~*
Leave blank whatever areas do not apply to your request and/or have no problem giving Miro creative license over.

How to Fill Out Form
Copy the text in the grey box above and paste it into your reply.  You can then fill out each individual section and all the fancy bbcode that makes it easier for Miro to read will already be done for you.  You just need to put in your information.

TYPE: (avatar, signature, sketch, magelo background, desktop wallpaper, pinup, half body image, full body image, bust, etc. etc. )
SIZE(S):  (proportions you want the image to be.  Please be sure to specify which number is width and which is height.  If left blank, I will pick a size I think is most appropriate, which may or may not suit what you're wanting it for.  Stating your plans of usage can also be put here instead.)
REFERENCE(S):  (screen shots, artwork, and/or photos to visually represent the character you want drawn as well as poses, textures, and patterns you'd like to see used, if any)
HAIR COLOR:  (self explanatory, I'd think)
EYE COLOR:  (same as above)
SKIN COLOR:  (same)
RACE:  (same)
CLASS: (assuming it's your everquest character, it would be what class your character is.  You can request non-EQ drawings and leave this part blank if it isn't relevant for those.)
PERSONALITY:  (a few words or a short description of your character's personality, which may or may not be similar to your own.  Personality influences how I draw facial features, poses, and expressions.  At the very least, fill in how you visualize your character's personality even if you don't actually play them that way)
PREFERRED COLOR(S):  (this will influence background and shading.  If left blank, I will pick whatever colors I see fit for these purposes)
ADDITIONAL NOTES:  (if there's any sort of special customization you would like to have added to the image, here is the place you'd put it.  Special customization requests can include [but is not limited to]:  tattoo designs, scars, piercings, birth marks, body build, accessories, hairstyles, alternate outfits, text and so on.  This is also where you would describe your character, pose, and/or expression you'd like to see them have if you don't have any reference images.  One thing I will add about body build, though.... my default choice in build will be based on class provided it's an EQ character.  However, if you want an Arnold Schwarzenegger build and your character is something like a rogue or a mage, I reserve the right to override your poor choice of build for your class.)
DONATION:  (Donations are not necessary, but they do serve as incentive for Miro to put in the extra work for a more detailed piece.  Krono, high value ornamentations, platinums, rare collection items, and entire collection sets are all good offers.  RL money never hurts either.  Just saiyan (http://gprime.net/board/images/smilies/goku-s.gif))

They can also do horrible things to your body when you're not looking. (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_twisted.gif)  Not that Miro would ever do such a thing (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_ninja.gif)  Miro is a good girl.

Miro will need a screen shot, unless your signature is an accurate representation.  In which case, Miro can just use your signature as a reference. 
Miro hasn't drawn a wolf before so she's not sure how that will go, but she'll try  ;D  No donation needed since it's just an avatar.
Title: Re: Miro Does Art!
Post by: Miro on March 04, 2013, 02:53:34 pm
Here's what Miro came up with based on your order form and using your signature as a reference:
(http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/Larul1_zps582fa400.jpg)
Let Miro know if you want it redone and what you'd like to see done differently if so and Miro will see what she can do.  Also also, be sure to save the file and upload it to your own image host as Miro may move or delete this one at some point for whatever reason.
Title: Re: Miro Does Art!
Post by: Miro on April 05, 2013, 03:42:40 pm
Somebody request something!  MiroIsBored (http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff133/onionethan/Onion_Emoticons/064_.gif)
Remember, avatars, signatures, and sketches don't cost you anything except the time it takes to fill out a form.  And for those put off by the form, I'd have to ask you all of those questions later anyway unless you're fine with me taking complete creative liberty with it and giving you whatever I feel like drawing instead of what you actually want.... in which case you might end up with an avatar of a spotted rabbit when you wanted a sketch of your badass warrior.

In the meantime, Miro has been trying to occupy her arting desires by starting to color this (http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/ThisEmptySoul/Crop2_zpscb8e971f.jpg) 8 month old sketch.
Title: Re: Miro Does Art!
Post by: Scot on April 05, 2013, 05:52:06 pm
Well I will go ahead and put in my request for something that is probably waaaaaay too involved.  I will let you decide the extent.  It will probably have to be a 3 part process (with J1 and Paris too heh).

TYPE: Avatar/signature/sketch all work for me.  Don't really mind which.  Would prefer a full body image from the front.
*SIZE(S):  Whatever works best for you.
REFERENCE(S):  (screen shots, artwork, and/or photos to visually represent the character you want drawn as well as poses, textures, and patterns you'd like to see used, if any)
HAIR COLOR:  Brown/black/auburn
EYE COLOR:  Blue/Green
SKIN COLOR: Light
RACE:  Barbarian
CLASS: Warrior
PERSONALITY:  Confident, stalwart, kind, good natured, a little playful/coy/humor like a part smile maybe, a little fatherly/sober/conflicted in the "so totally hot all the girls want him" kind of way and of course drop dead sexy! =D

*PREFERRED COLOR(S):  Kind of the white knight sort of mantra, so lots of white, light blues and gold/silver.  Could be a battle against darkness for contrast, though unnecessary.

*ADDITIONAL NOTES:  Want for him to be on the almost too muscular for his own good.  Sort of one step back from the professional body builder where the muscles actually look good.  Would like a BP that is possibly ornate (doesn't need to actually be ornate but sort of implies something of skilled craft)  Sleeves optional or only 1 maybe so a little like a tank maybe.  Scottish influences and knee length kilt (just in case you didn't know the proper length hah).  Large broadsword and a shield (or 2 broadswords) not necessarily in hand.  Maybe a leather sack on the ground or across the back.  Face a bit wider/pentagonal, so that he has a bit of stature without looking really boyish, maybe a bit like Tatum Channing.  No helmet I don't think.

*DONATION:  Hmm probably a couple PL sessions with you keeping the loot profits would work best, since I am sort of poor lol.

Post by: Miro on April 05, 2013, 06:10:15 pm
Yes!  Details!  Miro likes lots of details, and they're all of the relevant kind too!  Might take some research to figure out the armor part since Miro hasn't drawn armor much, but that's part of the fun in getting requests.  Miro gets to do things that she normally wouldn't draw herself  ;D  Since it's a bit more complex of a piece, Miro will be sure to post the works in progress for you so you can get things fixed in the early stages if they need fixing and so you know Miro is working on it.
Title: Re: Miro Does Art!
Post by: Miro on April 07, 2013, 04:30:35 pm
This (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/EQ/ScotWIP_zpse9d3a14e.jpg) is as far as Miro's gotten on it as of today (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_crying.gif)  She's having trouble figuring out everything below the knees as well as the muscles.  All of Miro's male characters have lean builds so that's what she's most accustomed to drawing, but bulky muscle is more appropriate for a warrior and Miro really needs to expand into drawing different body types.

Also also, in the event anyone actually cared, this (http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/096/4/3/draawrflat_by_thatemptysoul-d60o7el.jpg) is how the 8 month old sketch came out after Miro finished with the flat colors.  Miro isn't sure if/when she'll start shading it.
Title: Re: Miro Does Art!

two words on new avatar
LOVE IT
Thank You Miro
Title: Re: Miro Does Art!
Post by: Miro on April 09, 2013, 01:33:03 pm
Hooray!  Miro's glad you like it.  ;D

Here (http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/099/b/0/scotwip2_by_miroislost-d610hvr.jpg)'s where Scot's is right now.  Completely scrapped the previous body and kept making rough sketches until I found something that didn't look awkward and had the right build.  Also did some quick browsing on the interwebs for pose ideas.  Admittedly, Miro kind of just jacked the pose from this (http://th01.deviantart.net/fs7/300W/i/2005/168/c/f/Chesspiece__White_Knight_by_blackswordsman28.jpg) image in the end.  Now she's starting to refine the rough into cleaner lines.

Going to be putting this piece on the backburner for a bit, though.  Now that Miro has her own monitor back and can see colors more properly again, she's going to get back to finishing a coloring job that was requested of her some time ago.
Title: Re: Miro Does Art!
Post by: Miro on May 01, 2013, 05:56:59 pm
A few updates.

First, Miro finished the coloring job (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/107/0/b/queen_of_spades_by_thatemptysoul-d622lzn.png) that someone elsewhere on the interwebs requested of her.  Miro only did the coloring and some slight modifications and not the drawing itself.  The original can be viewed here (http://fav.me/d3gcujy).

Secondly, a little progress has been made on the piece for Scot (http://sta.sh/027qu3faryky), though not a whole lot.  Miro's going to be trying something different with that piece by having different parts of the line art on different layers for ease of changing it's color to see how well that works out.  Don't worry!  You'll have clothes.... later.... eventually.... maybe... (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_ninja.gif)

Thirdish, Miro started a sketch (http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/ThisEmptySoul/BGJinxWIP_zpsa3f29b38.jpg~original) for an auction Miro held some months back elsewhere on the interwebs.  There's two other pieces Miro will need to eventually do from that same auction, but this lady paid the most so Miro is starting on hers first of the three.

Fourside, since Miro has done art for others more than herself, Miro decided to take the time to start shading (http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/ThisEmptySoul/Crop3_zpsc7ba8929.jpg~original) the flat color piece she posted earlier so she gets some personal work in for a change.  Miro is experimenting with a different blending brush for it. (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_3nodding.gif)

And last, Miro updated the first post to include a new sketch (http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/ThisEmptySoul/Vitaflip_zps7ad72b2f.jpg~original) she just did today for the fun of it.  ;D
Title: Re: Miro Does Art!

Oh my~ Naked Scot (http://sta.sh/02aoc473vcbd)! Miro will heal you any day~ (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_twisted.gif) er.... (http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t255/Macross16/Angel.gif)

Interestingly enough, this song (http://youtu.be/khBLA4zTOy8) was playing on Miro's computer when she reached this stage.

Guess Miro should get to work on putting his clothes on now.... *pouts*

Edit:  And here (http://sta.sh/01vsj5mdyrem) it is with some armor sketched on.  Be sure to let Miro know if you want anything changed.

Edit edit:  How embarrassing.  Miro just realized she got the month wrong in that WIP save. (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_crying.gif)  Miro blames getting distracted by looking at men in kilts.... strictly for research, of course.

Post by: Miro on July 26, 2013, 08:42:37 pm
Lines (http://sta.sh/0uec36sm28x) are done on Scot now.  Don't worry!  The plaid pattern will come back during the coloring stage.  Miro plans on using this (http://www.galicianshop.com/pictures/kilts/KILT-GAL.jpg) color scheme.  If you'd prefer something different, be sure to let Miro know.  (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_3nodding.gif)

Heya GANG!! Hiya Miro,

I still want to do the tattoo, so if your game I will host some pics of Larul in her current gear (removing sword & Board illusion).
to the rest of you...

HUGS miss you all, I know I left quietly, wanted it quietly done, or I was gonna break down IRL.  what can I say? I send hugs, I buff you if asked, I join groups with you, I was unhappy not with you but with the situation, this had nothing to do with the current or past guild leaders or officers, they have been just great. I love you all, and I think of you all daily.
:)

PS I hope it helps to know I cheer all the time for you all.
Title: Re: Miro Does Art!

Simply outstanding work!  I love what you've done with it!  It even looks a little like me (minus the ripped abs-- I like to eat at least once a week thanks haha).
Title: Re: Miro Does Art!
Post by: Miro on October 19, 2013, 06:18:49 pm
Getting there (http://sta.sh/0aery2ghscv) on Scot's.  Not looking forward to starting on that kilt, though (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_sweatdrop.gif~original)

Probably go back and sharpen some edges after finishing up shading and maybe make some color adjustments.  On another note, probably won't be using this shading style for future requests (outside of paid requests [as in $$] ) because it's hard to stay motivated to continue working on it.  While Miro does enjoy blending, it can take a while to do.
Title: Re: Miro Does Art!
Post by: Miro on January 03, 2014, 09:08:05 pm
One of the many disadvantages to putting something down for so long is that you end up completely hating the composition by the time you get back to it (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_vein_zps3650fa69.gif~original)  Started work on Scot's piece again after finally finishing another long overdue piece (http://thisemptysoul.tumblr.com/post/72086430128/jinxxtausdraa).  So far I've extended the canvas on Scot's so that it no longer cuts off the bottoms of his feet and his sword.  And with that, I further prove that I can't draw a straight line to save my life (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_crying.gif~original)

Will hopefully finally get Scot's done within the next few days, then I've got another piece (http://thisemptysoul.tumblr.com/post/71916513463/flat-colors-now-to-shading-which-is-the-same) I'm working on that needs shading, a sketch (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/CoverWIP2_zps18ca4828.jpg~original) I started that I intend for using as a FB cover and probably a cropped and resized version for my signature, and I've got a few other things backlogged that need to be started as well, but intend on sketching out Deegurl's request somewhere in there.

And here (http://fav.me/d70rmyu) it is.  Actually spent just about as long trying to develop an artist signature for Miro as it took to finish it.  What's even more sad is that it's prettier than how Miro signs her real life name.

Still have a backlog of stuff to take care of, but decided to edit the first post and change around some of the original rules.

TL;DR version of edits:  all offerings are now free and filling out a form is not required.  However, without references, a form, or donation, there's no guarantee you'll actually get what you want because that gives me full creative license and I'll make whatever I feel like.

Finished that cover (http://fav.me/d7he3yr) yesterday as well as cropped it for my new sig.  Also finished another piece (http://thisemptysoul.tumblr.com/post/81712357592/latebday) apparently last month.  For some reason I was thinking it was more recently than that.  I expressed interest in someone's contest on another site and that's got a June 22 deadline, so I should probably get to work on that soonish.  Plan on looking over Deegurl's form again and getting her that sketch finally in the near future as well, but Miro is a slow artist (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_sweatdrop.gif~original)  Her "soon" is just about as bad as when SOE says they'll get something done "soon".

Managed to finish that contest piece (http://thisemptysoul.tumblr.com/image/89508371772) by the deadline and won solely because I was the only one that actually made the deadline.  Miro takes solace in knowing she's not the only lazy artist out there.  Planning on the next piece being Deegurl's request.

Also also, updated the first post to take out some older work and put in some newer ones for references.

Rough concepts (http://sta.sh/04lpok848pf) I sketched out for Deegurl's request.  I'm partial to concept 1 myself, but I'll leave it up to Dee which one I should run with since it's her request.

Internet was down here for a while, and though it seemed like a good time to make myself tackle that long neglected back log of mine, no internet also meant no access to references.  So I spent some time conceptualizing Misa (http://sta.sh/01c9qj0r1z55) instead... which mostly consisted of designing her tattoos.  Still need to design her back and leg tats.

Graphics card issues kind of threw a wrench in my plans to finish up my back log, but I'm hoping to actually finish it off this year.  Currently have 7 pieces to finish before the log is finally clear.  1 is in mid shading stage and two others have been sketched.  Tried to set a deadline for one of them as a means to push me to get it done, but computer issues will likely prevent me from making that deadline.  After my slate is clean, I'm hoping to start on the next big project:  fkcomics.tumblr.com (http://fkcomics.tumblr.com/)

I've got some ideas for a few pages and even story boarded 2 of them, but will need a lot of input from the guild for character designs and future comics once my storage of ideas has been emptied.  I'll probably give the project a thread of its own when I'm ready to start on it.  However, given my track record on art, it could be months if not years before I get to it (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_facepalm_zpsb8390ba0.gif~original)  Trying to be less of a lazy artist, but I make no guarantees about it.

Oh, hey there.  Miro still does art, by the way.

Random stuff about Miro (http://miroislost.deviantart.com/gallery/59576867/Ask-Miro)
Present thingy (http://fav.me/d9u1p0o)
Backlog piece (https://tmblr.co/ZA7sSs27Ye4aP)
Concept outfits (https://tmblr.co/ZA7sSs1xfSqXN)

I've still got 5 things left in my long standing backlog (that I clearly didn't finish last year like I was hoping) and am currently working on a personal piece that I'm not liking how it's coming out so far (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_stare.gif~original)  Part of the problem is that my tendency to wait so long between drawings means I'm rusty, and the other part is I'm in the process of learning a new program and have to experiment a lot with the tools to see if I can get it to do what I want it to do.

To help loosen some of the rust, Miro's open to do some bust sketches on request.  Just remember that Miro uses old models in EQ, so if you want something closer to how you picture your character, Miro will need you to take a screen shot. (You can upload a screen shot to an image hosting site like imgur (http://imgur.com/) and link it here) Otherwise, Miro will just be making stuff up based on how she sees your character.

That is a scary thought.

Armor bikinis for everyone!  Even the men!  MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_twisted.gif~original)

Was actually thinking about trying at a Kiras bust shot since there haven't been any takers yet and it would probably be a good example of how differently Miro might see a character than other people (http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u93/MiroIsLost/icon_sweatdrop.gif~original)
