Dreamwidth links b/c that's the only free uploading thing I got that won't shrinkydink any of the images. So it might tell you you're not authorized. Pop them open in a new tab or refresh the page.

Some of these were in the works for months. I've got two more incoming, but one just passed the sketch stage and the other's a thing where the artist has been having RL issues (and has been super apologetic about it while I'm just. Guy. I once had to wait a year for an art delivery. Five weeks delay is nothing.)

So, first, this one's NSFW. It's also not really what I wanted, which was closer to this [also NSFW] image. I wanted that sort of... shadowy/light draping effect? Something real artsy.

But the artist is Russian and uses a translation program, so I don't think it really got through, and by the time I realized it wasn't exactly what I asked for, I felt it was too late into the process to ask for a correction. You can kinda see where an attempt was made, but I'll have to find an artist better with light play if I want that, I think.

The others are all worksafe.

the first one won't display in another tab

says it contains errors

You have to refresh it when it does that, it should go once you refresh.

This one, based on this old publicity shot, turned out fantastic. I adore it. (I was also extremely lucky to snag a commission slot, they opened commissions during my work day, but I'd taken a sick day that day. Given they closed, like, three hours later...)

therebriedragons: I say 'refresh', sorry. I'm being unclear. What I do is, when it opens up in a new tab and says there's errors, I highlight the URL and hit 'enter' again.

And that loads the image.

Just hitting the refresh button doesn't work out.

OH that worked

omg the stool one

they're so cute...

This and this are the same image, one's just done up to be a bit dustier/more aged. I was very pleased to get this artist, they don't open commissions very often!

Originally, I'd wanted Tryse's face to be covered in shadows, with glowing eyes, but he suggested making it look more like a medieval artwork. The eye thing not matching her usual was to be a camera flash-like glow, to match the owl, he felt it would be a good touch.

YO THAT'S COOL

I absolutely adore the last one. Like, I'm happy with the first, even if it's not exactly what I wanted, I'm thrilled with the second, and I just plain adore the last.

(The first one is pretty, it's just not what I asked for?)

delightful witching in the last

I chose that artist specifically because they did good horror stuff.

The last one really is so good, tho
