Nice! If I got a chance to commission a drawing, it'd either be for my very first DnD character (an elf rogue named Maria) or my second one (a human gestalt druid/monk named Faris). They both are very special to me. =3
I generally don't commission, my artist of choice is a friend of mine. I usually wait for him to have a sale and pick up a black & White, It's Nick Robles aka Narbles
he often draws live, for a laugh he had mcdonald's fries in her hands for a minute while the quori claw reached for them. Oh, there's lots of different and very valid styles. Toons are lots of fun. At first I accidently called her robe a cloak and well... the pic came out a lil less PG.
That's beautiful! One of my best friends is an artist too, but she draws more anime style, which I personally prefer. I plan on asking her for some commissions.
There a few good artists on deviant art who do commissions. lots of good anime artists, I like the oil painting style for the most part for character portraits.
