BUST COMMISSION SLOTS: OPEN

Hello! Syan here!

It’s around the holidays and I’m in need of some extra funds for holiday shopping and to fund my ever growing addiction to houseplants so, I’m going to open up commission slots once again! For now, I’ll only be offering busts but you can choose from three different styles.

What I’m willing to draw: Humans, birds, lizards, dragons, horses, robots, aliens with 6 eyes, stuff that’s unfit for the workplace (so long as it’s not underage or something like that), etc. Whatever you want to throw at me, I’ll draw it.

STYLES:

OPTION ONE: Greyscale. You’ll get a bust of your character that’s filled and minimally shaded with only grey shades. These personally are my favorite as I am a weirdo who just loves monochromatic things. haha

COST: $35

Ex:

OPTION TWO: Color! You’ll get a bust of your character that is colored, minimally shaded, has colored lineart and minimal detailing.

COST: $45

Ex.

OPTION THREE: Full Render. Max color, Max detail, All bets are in, I’m gonna go ham. LETS GOOOOOOO

COST: $220

Ex.

CONDITIONS: - All payments will be made UPFRONT before work begins, mostly due to time constraints. Holidays are right around the corner!

- Payments to be made through paypal.

- Prior to payment, slots will only be held for one week.

- No refunds.

- A maximum of two changes/alterations allotted per commission, if desired. Once the two alterations have been used up, you get no more.

Now that you’ve read the conditions and if you’re interested in commissioning me, please fill out this form below and send it to me via a private message here on tumblr. If not, leave a like and reblog! Maybe come back to this later. wink wink ;)

Apocalypse Child: Zuraden city design

Chapter 1 of AC takes place in a snowy city carved atop a lake deep in the mountains. While the main cast isn’t there long, I wanted a good idea of the general layout and look of the city. If you look at its center you can see a massive statue carved out of the mountainside of the water god who stands above the city’s palace at the center of the lake.

The palace is where most of the action of chapter 1 takes place and I’ll show that design later but for now, here’s the city!

Apocalypse Child Test Promo Pic 1

This was the first illustration I made as a sort of test promo piece for Apocalypse Child (the second one was used to announce the actual project).

In both cases I was using the promos as a way to test out potential coloring and inking styles for the comic overall. I fully intend to have Apocalypse Child be a colored comic so it's important that I figure out a style that lets me color quickly without sacrificing the look and feel I want.

I'm very partial to more rustic, traditional, painterly type art. I like my work to look a little more rough as well, ya?

You can tell with the first piece, I hadn't quite figured out the logo yet (you can see the final logo design in the second piece which I'll post again in a bit).

The idea behind the first picture was to showcase Thunder's apathetic nature contrasted against violence. Thunder isn't a character who shows emotion very often, and I like to show how unnatural his demeanour is in contrast with some of the violent shit he goes through or is heavily implied to have done.

I actually draw Thunder wielding that traffic sign a lot - it's one of the easiest ways of showing off his peculiar strength (there's cement on that thing...) and his tendency to use anything and everything in his environment when fighting.

Apocalypse Child Test Promo Pic 2

If you saw my project announcement back in may, you'll be familiar with this piece.

This is one of two test images I made trying out different inking and coloring techniques for my upcoming webcomic.

Like the first test piece, this second piece shows off that uneasy apathy vs violence aspect of Thunder again, but this time it's complimented by Buzz and Roy who, both being armed, make it clear that they've all been recently fighting... something. What's more interesting though is the reactions: both Buzz and Roy look a lot more uneasy. Contrasting Thunder, who by expression and stance looks far more composed, the idea was to have people question "who is in control here and why?"

I’m ready to talk about something I’ve been working on for a long time…

APOCALYPSE CHILD: A New Original Webcomic

I’ve been working on this project semi-secretly for awhile now, and I finally have enough work done on it that I feel confident and ready to share with you all what I’m working on.

What is Apocalypse Child?

It’s a whole new original webcomic separate from Guild Wars 2 and Tora Steals Things ( @torasteals ). Almost every artist I know has a passion project or two that’s been with them from their childhood and this one is mine. I’ve been world building and developing it for years, and I finally started the script for it roughly a year ago. It’s near and dear to my heart and I’m both elated and terrified to even let you all know that it even exists.

Is it anything like Tora Steals Things?

No. Oh no this is a completely different beast…

I'm ready to talk about something I've been working on for a long time...

YO! So if you’ve been following me here, you may be aware that I hinted at some upcoming changes to the Patreon and here it is!

These changes won’t affect Tora Steals Things updates for another week or so and I’ll be basically posting this exact announcement properly then (but with some more details for what you’ll see from me if you’re not a patron and where you’ll see my work etc.), but if you’d like to see what’s coming up a bit early… the official announcement about my upcoming project and how it’ll affect Tora Steals Things going forward is already up on Patreon and publicly available for everyone (patron or not) to read.

Again, like, the post only really addresses what patrons can expect from me in the future. Next week, I’ll go in more detail on here and let y’all know where you can find my work, and what to expect etc etc etc.

Also about my health for those of you concerned:

Thank you for your get well notes and such! I should be fine? It seems I really fudged up a nerve in my neck and it’s likely from my working posture at my desk. Don’t be like me, kids, make sure you get your working station properly set up so that you don’t hurt yourself by leaning over your tablet all the time.

I’ve actually been dealing with chronic pain issues around my neck, right arm, and right breast from all this since November. It has not been a fun time for sure but I think, after many doctor visits and a lot of physiotherapy and yoga, I’m finally starting to get better.

Thanks again for your concern, as I said, I’ll be fine :)

Anyway, that’s it from me, folks! Later!

This week is Terin’s character playlist, featuring sad old love songs and songs about heartbreak because I don’t know what to tell you: that’s Terin for you.

Next week: Soheon!

Hey folks! I’ve got a bit of news here.

I injured my arm pretty badly so I’m taking about a month off from the comic. In that time you’ll still get new goodies, it’ll be these: character playlists! 4 of them total.

This week’s playlist is Tora’s. A bit of electric swing, alternative rock, and so forth.

I’ve got the next comic episode scripted and thumbnailed and ready to go into production, so we’ll be getting into the next episode: The Amulet of Bolli after the break!

And once that break comes, they’ll be some other changes to the patreon and the comic, so look forward to that! See you next week with Terin’s playlist.

#gw2 #guildwars 2 #Toras taste in music is top notch
