art factory

I use this blog pretty exclusively for commissioning art. I reblog artists I find extraordinarily talented, friendly, and/or great to work with; and occasionally write reviews or post art tutorials. Full-time career; I'm not around tumblr much. Apologies in advance.

Wasteland WIP A WIP Post apocalyptic dream. Not for sale.

Wow, that is really cool! Roleplay dream?

[kerosenebandit]

It was meant to be an AO RP dream uploaded in FurN. There's a lot of interesting aspects to the map itself including a geiger counter that goes off in high radiation areas (including a DS button warning and sound effects, lots of environmental sound effects, hidden areas... I'm not sure how many people are actually interested in RPing in a place like it though. I've also become markedly less active on Furcadia, so I don't have the capacity to manage it.

I absentmindedly forgot to post updated commission info, so I’m fixing that mistake right now

I’m pretty flexible with prices so shoot me a message and we can talk about it. I know a lot of artists charge extra for backgrounds and extra characters but I’m going to wave all that and just give you...

The art above belongs to Cut-Box of dA, also known as rogozaurus here on tumblr.  Cut-box is a high-yield artist who is highly proficient in a large array of subject matters and styles. She is popular amongst my friends for the sheer reason that she not only handles balancing multiple projects extraordinarily well, but her turn-around time is very fast.  She is a very stylized artist with expressive characters made of definite shapes. Notably, she puts a great deal of thought into accuracy and has a will to ensure customer satisfaction even for small pieces. Cut-box communicates at the various stages of the piece; sketch, lineart, color and keeps things pretty simple. The above image is one of a small handful that accurately depicts the size difference between Des and Kathe in a full-body scale. Cut-box clearly took the time to take that into consideration and pushed herself to do it. I recommend cut-box to anyone and everyone, since they're a super capable artist with a fun style and a quick turnaround.

The art above belongs to WieldsTheKey of dA, or WieldTheKey here on tumblr. I stumbled on wieldsthekey by mistake one day and immediately commissioned her. She has a knack for masculine characters that I believe is unrivaled. It's not just a matter of anatomy, but the style she executes it with. Overall she was friendly, expedient, and super easy to work with. Still one of my favorite artists to date. She isn't open for commissions for the time being, but that's not a bad thing. As of last year she made her jump into the industry as a professional. If you're not already watching her, probably should. In fact, you really should.

Wulfghast/Worgbeast is a long-time friend of mine.  She's a feral canine artist who is very rapidly expanding into a broad range of subject material. Her style is very American comic book like with thick lines, strong colors, and contrast shading. With a twist; her angles have a propensity to be rounder than the majority of comic book artists, making her art very pleasant to the viewer with the strong pops of color and shadow. This makes her art perfect for character pages and website layouts.  She is extremely easy to work with and puts a great deal of effort into assuring customer satisfaction and most importantly; accuracy. The stress-free process of commissioning her is largely due in part because she live streams the majority of her work for her customers and when you're not available to view the stream? She takes the time to routinely stay in contact. Turn around seems to vary largely depending on complexity. Her pricing was in a very affordable range, especially for her talent. She is presently (as of July 2014) redoing her price sheet so I highly recommend keeping a close eye on her in the near future. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs art for aesthetic page work, people who like complex posing and illustrations, and especially individuals with werewolf characters.

This tutorial explains some of the ways you can incorporate undertones into your art. It starts out very basic for beginners, then shows some more advanced ways to shade.  If you don’t have photoshop then instead of using a “color burn” layer, experiment with what your program does have. Try a “Multiply” layer or a “shade” layer.
