great drawing skills ! =)

definetely worth paying him , if you are looking for some proper good art

Clever idea man!

Looks good, tweeted about it.

Thanks a lot!

Getting some good feedback but not too many actual commissions.
Then again, this has only been up for a couple hours

Speaking of drawings, someone made a majestic, truly American piece of art today that I am going to use as inspiration when I'm in England: http://image.blingee.com/images19/content/output/000/000/000/7bc/797594071_1777417.gif

That hat on the bald eagle should be in game. Also the eagle.

I'd pay for this!
I probably wouldn't be able to afford much more than the $15 one, but I personally like how the sketches look more.

thanks c: Yeah, I don't like my digital lines myself. But I'm sloooowly getting better at that.

I added avatars after feedback from the ETF2L thread with team discounts because those might be better marketable.

Definitely would be cool to do something like this, I'd pay also.

I'd quite like a class avatar with an i49 background. It'd be nice to donate more to the cause c:

Mind if I hit you up on Steam?

You can do that buuuuut it'd be better if you waited a week and a few days. I'm under a lot of work pressure atm that'll be gone past next thursday. I also wanna implement slots so people don't rush me with steam friendslist requests.

Really great stuff dude. I'm interested.

I'll open those commissions tuesday next week on a first come first serve base (but with a priority for team comissions) and close it at my own discretion (and reopen it once the first batch is done).

To get a spot, please post in this thread (only from tuesday on, everything else will be ignored to keep it simple). If you want an avatar, please use this excuse of a form:

Class:
Hat:

Screw that, gonna open them tomorrow, thursday 3rd of april at 15:00 CEST (9:00 EDT for reference if I'm not mistaken).
Got 10 hours of train rides ahead, might as well use them.
Might take a week and a bit to finish them.
Payment wise, this has worked for me thus far: You tell me what you want. I do a sketch, present it, then the payment follows and 1-6 days later you will get your avatar.

Paint Tool SAI is wonderful for its ink pen tool and line tool, if that would interest you.

I personally haven't had success with offering avatar package deals for teams, but maybe you will with the fact that it's for fundraising. It's usually good to go with the artist's alley (convention term) mindset: ezpz cheap and nice-looking options tend to attract the most attention, which I think your sketches do very nicely.

Setting up a Steam group might help advertise your services.

Best of luck!

Thanks!

Only really got into PS rather recently. Uni is very busy for this and the next semester and I'll probably only get a chance to look into Sai in half a year.
Thanks for the recommendation c:

Commissions are open now. Check the initial entry on this post to get instructions on how to get an avatar.
This is what they'll look like: http://imgur.com/nRowYz6 (Background may be subject to change and it's optional anyway).

Hey accless, fundraiser manager here, I haven't had a chance to respond to this; please keep it up! This is fantastic. I was thinking about adding a perk for this exact kind of thing, but it was kinda more complicated than we could manage (though, we still have the option to add more perks later anyways). If there's anything I can do to help you here, you have my attention.

All of the above is gonna be the first batch. Gimme a week or so to work on it. I'll try to get them done asap :o
Also, prolly gonna be a change payment wise as this is gonna get directly linked to the fundraiser!

Don't be that guy. Seriously, don't. I no pey for picturs on teh intrnet. They free on gogle, yes? Nevermind it takes hours to make a a drawing like that and it took me years to get even that far :T [/rant]

I got almost all sketches done. I'm waiting on the drawings being implemented as perks so the payment process will be easier.

cheers~

edit: 'delete' your avatar? How. With an eraser? What a good and sensible solution o/

Wait.

You actually want people to PAY YOU for ART? What, do you think Michaelangelo got PAID to do the Sistene Ch-

He did? Bullshit. No, seriously, there's no way he -

OK fine. Fuck it. I'm done trying to understand art.

If I understand correctly he doesn't even want to get paid, he just wants the funds to go to the fundraiser

I'm 90% sure that Sal is being sarcastic here.

If he weren't.. Well it'd be mighty strange, since he has those TF2 posters on his wall that probably weren't free ;)

Yes obviously he was being sarcastic. I was referring to it being even better than actually paying him
