Was reading a friends journal on FA about how she was turn down by an artist she want to commission and how sad that was. So, i decide not to let people down like that fro having a not that organized schedule with my clients, after check all my mails, notes and what not, to see who contracted me and when me for a commission, made a list and put them in order of appearance.
one who was in the first 3 spot on the top was Adriatic, this client also contacted me early the 9th, and is why i am starting with this challenging commission. Is a challenge because i never had done a commission like this. a fight against a tentacle monster.
I was given lots of hints expect for the pose, and that was the most difficult, i really like this idea for the pose, because you can see her face and how hard she is trying to get free, the monster is behind as , well, i don't like drawing monsters, they always look too cute to be monsters. :
it's a very rough sketch and sorry for the water marks, after i update my computer my old scanner didn't work and had to find a emulator in the internet to make it work. maybe I'll buy it if the accept paypal. If client like this pose i will work on it more and then show a final sketch preview for possible changes on details and so.
...
The reason i ask for detailed descriptions is because it save time, In this piece my client give me free will to come up with a pose but when I present the one up there, client was not happy with the heroine being backwards, so had to do a new sketch from scratch. @.@
Making a detailed description is important to me because it saves time and effort, If client don't like to write too much, then is also very useful a visual representation of how the model will be posing so i can base my pic, with a picture, another drawing or even a photograph. I remember Graciela once draw a very rough sketch of the commission I made for her, that was so cute!
So here is scratch #2:
I think is ok now because it fits all the criteria; i even add a treasure chest up there in the heroins left hand and all. Is to give a certain meaning of why she is in that predicament :)
One thing i want client to give me an opinion: I like both her legs to be like stabbing with the heel the one tentacle that is hugging her torso. though this pose looks too sexy and maybe raunchy (like the stuff i usually do) but some clients don't like that, so i have to soften things a little, SO i also made the right leg like trying to kick the face of the krakentopus in a stretch like angle downward. So which pose for that leg is better?
...
Whew! finally ended with the line art, was very hard to clean the mess of the scaner and watermarks, but thankfully all is acording to plan once again.
Line art Finish! should charge client more because this was an epic task XD, nah kidding...! Contract works both ways so can't charge extra once it's paid. I accept bonuses though ;3
Oh! right now comes the color process, my idea for the back ground is underwater fish eye view which in the superior part you can see the surface of the water and the down part the deeps of the ocean, (you can see her gun descending to the deeps) a very intimidating scenario i can say.
...
and finally the final art preview :3
