I would like to buy an image for my Bubble Weaver. I imagine it to draw inspiration from a Dream Catcher, but you may take of course some artistic license with that.

You'll also have to name your price, since I haven't the faintest idea what the prices are these days. If it involves creatures or coins, I may have to contact friends, so expect some delays if that's the case.

Awi

What is the items description text?

Fairly nondescript:

[color=#000000][font=Georgia,]The Bubble Weaver creates bio-degradable bubbles that can collect Wiiya gas[/font][/color]

Might I suggest looking at Spirographs then?

Here is my submission (I have two others, I just like this one best so far)

If you like it, I can do more work on the shading and textures/etc, but it is a lot of work so I probably won't bother any time soon if you don't want it.

I'm also happy to do more similar works, if you would rather something like it but a bit different.

I don't really know why, but I seem to be in a drawing mood today >.>

I like this a lot - but am not sure the numerology is spot on. Maybe instead of five, three or an order of two. 8, 4, 2, 1. Does that sound plausible?

But I love the fractally design.

Awi

Yeah, I used 5 because its one of the more common bases for spirographic designs. I'll see what I can do with other numbers, but I get the vague feeling it needs to be an odd number to work....

EDIT: Figured out how to get it to work with 8, but I'm going to need to draw it very large to get it to work.... this is going to take a while

Edited March 19, 201214 yr by Kyphis the Bard

If it must be odd - base it on powers of three.

Awi

Hmm? Nah, I've got it working with 8. I just have to alternate the sequence between skipping one corner and skipping two. It's going to be complicated to draw, especially when I get to the inner one, but I'm in the mood for a challenge

Might take me a day or two though

Bravo: 8 = 2^3, thus combining two very good numbers.

I look forward to it.

Awi

This was quite complicated.... ended up doing a schematic to make sure it all worked correctly, but here it finally is:

It's perfect.

How to ever pay you?

Awi

Definitely great artistic skill, but will that work in 80x80, too? It seems a little too complicated to show how it's actually done when you resize it for an item pic.

Yes, I think so.

But, Kyphis, would you mind coloring in the sticks? Perhaps with a wood grain if you're feeling fancy?

Awi

As an aside: I do not care much for whether people see the up close details of the image. They are, after all, looking at it as it hangs in my branches. If they would like to see it up close, they'd have to ask me. And I'd gladly oblige.

For me, what is hidden exists as long as I know it does. And that's what matters to me.

I'm quite happy to add more details if you are happy to wait for them I uploaded it as it is now just in case I manage to stuff it up >.>

And don't worry about payment. I don't do art for money, I do it for friends




.... So I guess friendship is payment >.>

I am content to wait.

Awi

Kyphis, your artwork is really amazing!!

Just gotta scan it in...

Edit: Here we go . Added a fibrous texture to the threads, as well.

Perfection.

Now to figure out... how to do alpha backgrounds. And to get credits to upload it.

Awi

Remember kyphis needs to upload it, as the original artist

When purchasing art from an avatar or for an item, please ask the artist to upload it on your item. If you upload the art yourself you will responsable for any later issues that might be with that art, even get baned for it if it is discovered later to be stolen. If you uploaded duplicate avatars and got them approved by mistake, get their ATC and report it. Any duplicates found in the shop or in player vaults will lead to severe punishments if I find them on my own.[/quote]

Its not a hard rule, just a statement that if something does turn up fishy then it is the person who uploads that will be held responsible. I'm not particularly interested in doing any uploading, my passion is in the creation of the art.
I doubt anyone would be able to honestly suggest this picture was used first outside of MD, and even if they tried I retain all my technical notes.
That includes a two hour sketching study to figure out what image would best suit this commission in terms of both aesthetic and imagery.

Somehow I end up in here. Great artwork Kyphis.

Mods I guess this can also be closed

This is now a hard rule, thanks for bringing up the old ambigious announcement:

All artwork that is to be used for the game must be uploaded by the author of said artwork. If they do not play the game then you must get permission from them to give all rights to MagicDuel and upload it yourself. In doing so you act as their agent and assume any liability for the correct process. This supersedes announcement 1486.

The old announcement has been modified to show that is it old and incorrect.
