Jubaris Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hey guys. I wish for someone to draw me a MD avatar by using my forum avatar as reference (the bird costume thing). Paying can go up to 35 silvers, depending on the quality. Out of my amateur perception, it shouldn't be too complex, but I would like some good shading work there. Anyone interested? Post up your work here, or PM me... Concept art encouraged so you don't waste your energy too much 'for nothing' if I don't like it for some reason...

Grido Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Just as a pre-emptive; If it's too similar to the picture itself (presuming Princ didn't make the forum pic) then it's plagiarism or whatever, so sh/would be denied uploading. yada yada about bad things happening to uploader.

Jubaris Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Yes, thanks for the comment Grido. Whoever ventures in this work, try to change something for it to be legitimate, yet not to disturb the original too much. It is a single cover.

biermann Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Is there a tight time frame for this? Cause I sort of am behind my commision queque due to playing with panda's and warring on guilds a bit too much. Oh yeah, and getting a slight concussion, doesn't help a lot either.

Jubaris Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Hahaha... Yes, I guess avoiding breasts would be very appropriate... Please make it so, without female breasts (or just make the whole picture seem unisex in some way). Although, if you make it THAT GOOD with breasts, I would not ask you to change it. No, there's no tight time frame. The only tight frame you should worry about is someone doing the artwork before you, posting it here, resulting in me liking it very much and buying it.

Jubaris Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Also, one more thing. An artist mailed me, and asked what details I would like to change in the pic to get it to be legitimate. I will quote my response for everyone else to see. [quote] I'm a big fan of the original, so, with heavy heart I will venture in this proposal of changes on the picture By the way, there are several interesting variations of the Depeche Mode birdwoman, pictures all around the net. If you have the time, watch videos for "Walking in my shoes" and "In your room" by depeche mode, you will see the bird. I would like it to keep its head high, hide the breasts by just shading them out properly (or even put some clothes material there you deem appropriate, but the less details are visible and in shades, the better). Any more 'radical changes' would perhaps come in the general position, they may come in some small details you deem fit, but I don't think they are required for it to be legitimate. The bird costume is not THAT unique for its variations to present a copyright problem. [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Starter Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 If the artwork is good enough, you should think of some sort of a bribe, so you can be sure it doesn't "accidently" end up in the Shop's section, instead in the Artist's vault Just kidding - don't forget, when ready, to contact us previously uploading, so things could go as planned.

biermann Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 perhaps I shall conjure up a quick draft. But most likely it will not be as desired hehe. I'm not quite suited for copying a design in a minimal fashion. Must ... pour....in ...own...creativity. It's not even really about the copyright. It's about dreading to hear 'oh you drew the depeche mode album cover, neat, it almost looks alike!'. Ah well, I shall try something quick, but with more then just boobs removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Sure, try something you feel is appropriate, I'm very interested to see, just don't hold me a grudge if I happen not to be satisfied with it. I just pictured something I would like to get, but there's always room for surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biermann Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I don't hold grudges, mild concussion, memory leaks out too fast to hold grudges. Like I should have remembered to rbing my doodle back home to scan so I could send it out today. Which I forgot. (And in all fairness, you're probably better of not picking my idea due to the estimated time needed to complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I like your drawings, and I don't mind waiting. Just present some sketch so I can decide, in comparison with others and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 One of the artist forwarded his work and I liked it very much. Soon, the transfer will be realized. This offer is closed (unless something goes bad). Seigheart and Ivorak 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
