Fal.

So, this weekend was the Guild Wars 2 beta weekend! Because I have an extremely low end computer which could barely play the game, I didn't really get a chance to play around with doing the battles the way they're supposed to be done, and it also means all my screencaps are very ugly and not-antialiased (for a measure of ugly, anyway - GW2 still looks beautiful even when it's not beautiful). The freedom to dodge and to move around is something I didn't really get to experience much on my low end system, but my brother and I gamed in the same room, and his high-end system was altogether a different gaming experience. I'll try and hassle my bruddie into giving me some of his caps to help me make examples. jesters has also posted some beautiful examples of the mid-high-range graphics and textures, so that'd be a great place to go look if you're curious. In the meantime, here's some general thoughts.

(Edit: It turns out my brother also made his own Beta Feedback directly on the forum earlier today, which contains a similar level of enthusiasm along with constructive suggestions for the thief class or WvWvW. If you sign into GW forums, you can see it through the link here.)

( Let's Review: Guild Wars 2 (Beta Weekend)! )

OC ART ICON COMMISSIONS
( CLOSED TO WORK THROUGH CURRENT ICON LOAD )

Route 1: Visnovel style image changes, b&w or colour. The base image remains the same, the features are overlaid in subsequent layers to allow for lots of different variations in expression. The images will always be digital.

Because drawing the base is the most strenuous part of this activity, it requires a minimum order of 10 icons to give the base some mileage. A minimum order of 10 icons is $19; after that, it's $1 per icon. If you want colour added to the icons, just say! This'll bring it up to $2.90 per icon for the first 10, and $1 for subsequent icons. Max number of icons is 25.

Route 2: Completely different drawings of each expression, b&w. More variety in poses, movement, face angles, clothes. Although this is a more personalised and illustrative set, the tradeoff is that it will always be in pencil, and it is likely to take a little longer. Specifics on certain icons ("I don't want a profile/body shot in my set", "I'd like a haughty look with some blood spatter", "I'd like my 12 icon expressions to be these:...") are welcome. Extra details on a character's personality and most likely expressions are especially welcome here too.

Max of 12 icons per request, no minimum. This set is $3.80 per icon flat rate.
