Fan Art [Taking Suggestions]

Hikage from Senran Kagura. An original design commissioned by dutchbellyfanman . 

WIP for Menat from SFV. This wasn't a suggestion from the journal, but I just like her...XD

Here's an example of a costume design for Shiny Chariot from Little Witch Academia. This was done by commission, so if you have a character you're dying to see, a piece like this would be $25 if you'd like. (Same for if you'd like soft shading.)

Fan Art Explanation  So since the time I've started on here, I don't know if you might've noticed, but I have made a point not to draw fan art from different franchises and things like that. If I've done so, it's usually been of indie projects or like that one time I dressed Neph as some other characters. 

  But...I feel like this is starting to hold me back a little. I've never really had the desire to do it myself, but among the reasons I gave was the fact that I didn't really think I could bring anything different to it. This is all something I determined without actually trying to do so. It's like I cut off my range with it before even attempting to find some creative angle to depict those characters, while I've always been able to try it for other people's original characters and especially my own.

  So what I want to do now is try fan art. Especially when I open back up commissions. There have been more than several occasions where I'v

  I'm taking suggestions for characters to design costumes for, but what I'll do is list out some franchises I'd be more likely to draw from. You're still welcome to suggest anything you'd like.

• Tales Series
• Blazblue
• Soul Calibur
• Guilty Gear
• Neptunia Series
  
• TERA Online (Or other MMOs)
• Megaman Series (Gunvolt counts...but not Mighty No 9)
• Tekken
• Skullgirls
• Shantae
• Va-11 Hall-A
• Nier Automata
• Other JRPGs (Final Fantasy*, Eternal Sonata, Star Ocean...)

  The majority of these games fall into either series that inspired my design style one way or another or are just things I've enjoyed over the past years. It's no coincidence that they happen to all be games, but there are some shows I like as well. It's just sorta hard to remember which ones I would like enough to want to draw the characters. I like to watch anime, but I don't really tend to become a super fan of many shows at all.

And again, suggest whatever you like and would want to see, but just be aware of the potential to overlap with something I like. It'll make it more likely to be chosen, for sure. 

• Other things to consider:

• I am working on some commissions at the moment, so these will not be taking priority over those.

• These are suggestions, meaning I'm free to not accept them if they don't appeal to me.

• If you've seen my current submission rate, if I do accept one, give me some time to complete it. 

• If there's something urgent you really want, a commission would be the way to go.

• I'm going to be trying not to be as allergic to drawing male characters as I used to...but my preference will always be towards drawing female characters. Just kinda how it is.

• If you want to just ignore all this and suggest an original character, go ahead. Long as you understand the concept of disappointment and the heavy sigh I will be giving your comment as I view it.

• Thanks for still actually sticking around if you read this and like my art. A lot of people have still been watching as I continue to produce little to nothing, and I hope that build in anticipation is worth it. Thanks again for watching and we'll see if I can get this engine going again.
