Character Art Freebies.

[AndrewAnimation]

Edit: Please limit it to 1 character, to be fair to others. Please decide on the character AND outfit beforehand, instead of giving me a choice between several screenshots, (ideally, you would just show me 1 frontal full body screenshot) so that I don't have to juggle a lot of images per request. No couple art whatsoever, as that would force me to go beyond my 2-3 hour completion time per piece. I encourage any and all special preferences you may have to help guide my drawing.=)

Hi,

I sometimes draw character art freebies of people’s characters. Reply to this or message me with a screenshot of your character, along with any details you may want me to know, and I’ll add your character to its proper list. Every time I want to draw a character, I select from one of the lists using a completely random selector, and always draw the one who comes up, then message it to the winner. I’ve done this for a while on the popular Gaia forum site, and am now doing it for the most popular MMORPGs, including:

Ragnarok Online
World of Warcraft
Guild Wars
FlyFF
IMVU
Final Fantasy XI
Gaia Online
City of Heroes/Villains
Aeria Games
Outspark Games

Here are the more popular examples of the ones I’ve done for other game forums. They always take me between 1-3hrs each. Many are quite anime-looking, but I can attempt a more realistic style upon request. Just let me know any preferences you have at all.
I can also add any original character of your own creation, or a character of yours from any unlisted MMO, (sorry, no couple art, as that would force me to spend more time on the piece), which go in a special Misc. list for those purposes, but please limit it to 1 character request per game, to be fair to others. Feel free to ask to be added. Everyone gets added, no one gets rejected.=)

my signature please ^^

[AndrewAnimation]

sorry i have signatures turned off, as they often distract me. i'll make a note in the front post about that=) i can add your character if you can put the image in your post=)

[Ziero]

Hot DAYUM that's some nice art. Normally I don't ask others to draw stuff for me, but this time I'll make an exception.

Really not much to say about him as I think the pic speaks for itself.
Thanks in advanced if/when you ever actually draw him. :thumbsup:

[Restlesstornado]

This is the best I can do since I don't have any access to FFXI any time soon.

[AndrewAnimation]

all added! good luck=)

Id love to see a Hume and Mithra Bst in AF2 with their C.C

[AndrewAnimation]

lol i have almost no idea what that means! =D but maybe i'll end up drawing it someday ^_^

don't be shy everyone, feel free to request! i have less requests for FFXI than any of the other games so far=)

[KingOfZeal]

I'll give it a shot, just to see what you come up with.

O. O hot damn that mithra art is sweet.

I intend to post my character at some point, if/when I decide on the appropriate outfit ^^;

I don't think that's a mithra exactly, my guess is that it's more of an original catgirl character of some sort.

Still hot though

[AndrewAnimation]

lol thanks!xD yes, she's not a FFXI character, just someone's OC (original character) from the Gaia forums

i added everyone who posted images. good luck=)

I'd really like to sign up for one of these, but I can't use modelviewer to get a good shot. Could someone with modelviewer and a few spare minutes please help me out and do up a couple of shots for me? Please PM me if you can, thanks^^

[AndrewAnimation]

i haven't heard of the 'modelviewer' you use, but it might work if you hit the "Print Screen" button ("prnt scr," next to "backspace") to capture the screen and then "Paste" it in microsoft Paint

[Callisto]

It's all good, Sevv's gonna take care of it for me. The modelviewer(usually AltanaView I think) is what you use to get pics like Sevv's, it lets you view character models with whatever gear you want to put on them in different poses and whatnot, it reads the .dats directly from the FFXI files I believe. Unfortunately I'm a console player(PS2 & 360) and I don't have a comp capable of running FFXI, so I can't use a modelviewer and it's difficult to get nice, clean screenshots.

[AndrewAnimation]

ah cool! i forgot FFXI can be played on PS2

[KingOfZeal]

You don't have to able to run FFXI to use a model viewer... As long as you can install the program (which you won't be able to do only if you don't have the space, or if you have a processor that can't top out over 200MhZ, if not lower) you can run the model viewer. The only thing you can miss out on is the updates, which generally don't have many dats in them (exceptions are, of course, AFs for new jobs and new equipment that may come out). However, most machines which may not be able to run FFXI can still launch POL and FFXI enough to get the updates as well.


I'm just saying.

[AndrewAnimation]

added=) a cool one, too

my computer is super-powerful. i don't own ffxi, but could i do anything with the modelviewer if i had it? it'd be fun to try and recreate my own original characters using ffxi, just for some temporary fun. i love doing that in games

You would need to download the game first then the Model Viewer to do so. What the Model Viewer does is read the numerous types of files (armor, face, monster, music, pose, etc) that FFXI displays throughout gameplay. The Model Viewer simply runs a program that lets you pick and choose what you want to see without actually playing the game.

But as the game gets updated and new armor is added, you would need to update as well, and to update you would need an account. So unless you could find a free download of the game, along with someone willing to send you all the files that get installed via update, the Model Viewer wouldn't be that useful.

Though I'm sure people here would be more then happy to help you create these characters if you could give them some sort of description of how they look. Be advised however, the face selection in this game is limited at best.

[Callisto]

Thanks Sevv, exactly what I was looking for!

[AndrewAnimation]

thanks Brain of Knowledge!=) hmm no i shouldn't go through that much trouble, i'd say. if anyone who's already smooth with the modelviewer would actually enjoy doing this, however, feel free to FFXI-itize any of my main characters from my novel:
superheroes2 by ~AndrewAnimation on deviantART (http://andrewanimation.deviantart.com/art/superheroes2-66545060)
anna molly by ~AndrewAnimation on deviantART (http://andrewanimation.deviantart.com/art/anna-molly-70224448)
lilquick06 by ~AndrewAnimation on deviantART (http://andrewanimation.deviantart.com/art/lilquick06-66544411)
that would be fun for me to see. no problem if no one has the time though. i understand how that is. x3

[Restlesstornado]

so I was wondering when the "lottery" would be over? 1 week perhaps?

[Ziero]

The "Brain of Knowledge" thing is actually a forum title for having XX number of posts or something...I think, not an actual user name. And while it won't be super accurate or anything, I can try to "ffxi-cise" some of the characters. The thing with FFXI is that most of the armor and clothes have a medieval feel from numerous cultures of old, so it's hard to match up to more contemporary, modern-like clothing. But a few ideas pop into mind from those pics.

so I was wondering when the "lottery" would be over? 1 week perhaps?

I think it's more of a "when he feels like working" thing rather then an actual timed lottery or something. When it's done it's done and we'll find out who got picked then.

[AndrewAnimation]

that would be awesome if you wouldn't mind doing that! xD
yeah i know how it is with medieval-based character creation, after playing soulcalibur 3

yup, sort of like that. it's very scheduled, though, so i can explain the whole thing of when i'll make the drawings. i make 1 character every 2 days, as i've been doing so far, but i give each game/forum i draw for its own chance, til every game received one drawing each, then i start all over, the order always being as random as the winners. unfortunately, with 10 games on my list now, that calculates to roughly only 1.4 drawings per game per month. i can't up the production because it would interfere with my normal job, but, keeping it the way it's at now, i don't see myself ever stopping. it'll just be really slow-moving

[Restlesstornado]

In any case lookingforward to seeing any new work you draw up~

[AndrewAnimation]

thanks=) if you care to see the ones i drew for the winners of the other games so far, they're at the beginning of my deviantart gallery:
AndrewAnimation's deviantART Gallery (http://andrewanimation.deviantart.com/gallery/)

[LilithAngel]

Here's about as close an approximation as I could get for this one (http://andrewanimation.deviantart.com/art/lilquick06-66544411).

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/shadowfalcon76/HumeGirl1.jpg

The others, especially the "Anna Molly" one, might require some .dat modifications, but that's just a matter of finding .dats that look similar to what you want, and the mod community is rather robust for this game. I'll see if I can't whip something up as well; this sounds like fun.

[AndrewAnimation]

lol, coolio!!:biggrin:
lol wow, the carpet and the lighting and everything, too!:biggrin:
thanks for doing that=) it's funny you chose that character first, as her name is lilith. i noticed your name the first time i saw it because of her=)
here were my Soulcalibur III (PS2) attempts at that one:

(my lilith sometimes has a cape, in other images that i didn't show you)
cool let me know if you make any of the others:biggrin: anna's been my favorite character for months now=) i suppose the mod stuff wouldn't appear online in the actual ffxi game, just for the modelviewer, right?=)

[Ziero]

Modified armor will appear in game on your screen only, but have no affect on anything but how you see it. It's also only something that can be done on the PC as you need to actually swap some files around to get it to work.

And I tried to get a few done last night, mainly based on this pic:
superheroes2 by ~AndrewAnimation on deviantART (http://andrewanimation.deviantart.com/art/superheroes2-66545060)

From left to right, this is the closest I could get.

Yellow Ninja Chick (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/Ziero01/Stuff/200801240210389.jpg)
There really is no tight clothing in game that has that shade of yellow. Infact I think there's only one set of armor at all that is even close to that yellow, and it's a Plate mail set. So I got the closest I could get to the overall feel. She's wearing a mix of Monk artifact armor (head and body) with Ninja relic armor (legs, feet, hands)

Blue Guy with Sword (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/Ziero01/Stuff/200801240220149.jpg)
Again, nothing in game comes close to the vivid blue used on this guy, especially armor that's tight and sleeveless on top but loose at the legs. What I ended up giving him was a Padded Harness with Beast Artifact legs and Lord's Sabatons, which are actually from the aforemention Yellow Platemail set. The sword was pretty easy though.

Red Armored Guy with Trident (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/Ziero01/Stuff/200801240156339.jpg)
Easily, the easiest of the bunch. A full suit of Crimson Scale Mail combined with the Halloween event Pitfork. I think it's a pretty good match.

White Samurai Guy (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/Ziero01/Stuff/200801240202307.jpg)
Again, another easy one, but not as close as the red armored guy. This one's wearing a simple Jujistu Gi with White Slacks and Solea shoes. If the gi had no sleeves and the slacks were a bit looser, it would be an almost exact match imo.

And finally
The Schoolgirl (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/Ziero01/Stuff/200801240213235.jpg)
This was again a *real* easy one and a look that could have only come about since the last expansion came out. She is wearing Scholar artifact armor, which is one of the newest classes in this game, and is essentially a schoolgirl outfit. The coat and skirt are all one piece so I couldn't choose a different coat without loosing the skirt. But from the waist down it's an exact match, and if the coat were blue it'd be almost perfect.

Now this is the best I could do without using dat mods, but I'm sure others out there can do better.

[Evion]

Nice art man! I can't wait to see some of your FFXI stuff.

[Callisto]

Yellow Ninja Chick (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/Ziero01/Stuff/200801240210389.jpg)

Can you view .dats for NPCs in the model viewer? Maybe there's a way to shoop Lion's gear?

[Lady Eleniel]

http://i31.tinypic.com/2luhdj.png

I'll try my luck. Let me know if its too small. ^^;. Whats your SN on Gaia? O:

[Ziero]

Can you view .dats for NPCs in the model viewer? Maybe there's a way to shoop Lion's gear?

Yes, and there have already been .dat mods for pretty much every NPC in game ported to most races. Including Lion's outfit for Hume females and Mithra (not sure about elf chicks though, they never seem to get any love =( )

Again, what I did was without dat mods. With dat mods you could easily get exact, or near exact renderings of all that armor. Heck there are mods out there to make the Scorp Harness match every type of AF for jobs that can wear it already, and I know there are mods that match the 'revealing' look of the Ninja girls outfit as well. Just browse some of the dat mod communities and you should be able to find things that fit much better.

[AndrewAnimation]

lol thanks ziero, that was awesome!!:D :D

yeah, i like the [red and black guy] the best too! but i really like the [yellow ninja lady] one as well, despite that it's armor instead of a spandex kinda thing, as those costumes are only one of a few i draw them in, armor being something else that suits her=D
i love the [schoolgirl] one too (actually the same as the Lilith character, but the drawing of her in the group shot was kinda off, especially since she looked happy), and that outfit would actually suit Anna Molly really well, despite not matching the outfit i happened to draw her in! yeah, a blue jacket would've been more up Lilith's alley=D

cool and that's without mods!
if i ever get far enough with my goals, i'd have the mods capable of being seen by everyone, but i assume there would be huge download/bandwidth/lag issues with that (not sure of which it would be)
thanks for taking the time to do that for me ziero!:biggrin:

thanks evion=D

added, eleniel! good luck=) my gaia name is the same, AndrewAnimation

[Lady Eleniel]

Heh, you'll have a friends request from whisky sour. <3 Always good to have friends who know about FFXI and WoW, in the least. As for .dat modding, I recommend FFXIdats.com, I've always used that site above all the others. The people there are generally really helpful, even if you mess up like me and replace the wrong .dats, therefore losing loads. Heh. ^^;

[AndrewAnimation]

cool!! aww i like 3-D

[LilithAngel]

Heh, go figure. I guess I gravitate towards the name more often than I thought. There's actually another character actually named Lilith on my server, Kujata; she's a Japanese player. That was originally the name I was gonna take, but she got to it first. A new one, Lilithe, has recently appeared. She's low level, so either she's new to the game, or just new to the server (transferred over) and just playing low level jobs every time I see her.

That makes three "Liliths" on Kujata. Just another reason Kujata is just that much more awesome. :thumbsup:

[AndrewAnimation]

lol i don't know of the servers and everything, but if i wanted the lilith name, i might've tried Lillith, LlLlTH, LiIith, IiLith, or IiIith. i always tried to use that i/L trick every time i could on chat sites in the distant past :P

[Feba]

FFXI only lets you use a single capital letter per name, and that's at the start.

Probably the biggest thing SE actually got right with this heap.

[AndrewAnimation]

then Lillith, but i assume Iilith would have better chances=) otherwise you could just go nuts and make it Lillllllll(as many L's as needed)llllllith xD

[AndrewAnimation]

finally got to my first FFXI character art! congrats to callisto

[Mhurron]

I dunno, Callisto always seemed like he'd be more goofy looking.

:P

[AndrewAnimation]

i'm afraid i don't have much of a grasp on which FFXI models might be goofy vs. not=( for this one, my immediate inspiration was that i could barely see his face, and that translated in my mind as 'mysterious,' hence this!=)

[Mhurron]

Na, not the model, Callisto the player :P

[DakAttack]

You got the race wrong, I think? Callisto is performing the elvaan black magic cast animation. From what I can tell in the picture you've drawn a hume.

[Ziero]

To be fair, it's kind of hard for someone who's not familiar with the game to tell the difference. Especially when the original image has all the facial features...including the ears...completely hidden.

Regardless it's a great pic

[Evion]

That picture is freakin sweet! To be fair, there's no way he could have known the race from that pic...

[DakAttack]

You can tell it's good because you can easily compare it to the millions of other pseudo-anime art styles out there.

[Evion]

Yeah, but its especially good "pseudo-anime art"...

[DakAttack]

Indeed.

[Aksannyi]

Nice work! Although I have to say I thought of hongman when I saw Callisto's pic. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these.

[AndrewAnimation]

Na, not the model, Callisto the player :P

lol sorry i didn't have a chance at knowing that then!=D i don't play FFXI myself unfortunately. but anyone who makes requests can feel free to give details about personality or anything else you like, to guide me=)

who's hongman?

[Callisto]

Orz finally got to see this, I've been absolutely leveled by the flu this week...

Thanks Andrew, that looks really sweet! No worries about the racial bit, with Red Mage the hat tends to cover the big goofy elf ears so it's really hard to tell. The coloring is really sweet, what do you use for it?

And Hongman's another one of our resident Elvaan RDMs, so his picture would look pretty similar to mine, lol.

[AndrewAnimation]

u gotta remember to get your flu shot=] i just got out of a week-long cold, myself

no problem! i use adobe photoshop

[Evion]

Been sick for 10 days myself. I really need to quit smoking...

How much is the Adobe Photoshop software run?

[DakAttack]

How much is the Adobe Photoshop software run?

Um, millions? I'm the kind of guy that prefers purchasing everything, but even I know it's just not feasable when it comes to web and graphic design software. I found something down at the old Bay for Creative Suite 3, a two and a half thousand toitle piece of software. All I was really looking for was the Macromedia set.

[AndrewAnimation]

oh? how much did you get adobe cs3 for on ebay?

[Neomage]

Sorry, I just had to interject here but... Flu shots are almost completely worthless. That virus has so many mutated strains that it is impossible for it protect against them all, so while you may be spared catching four or five similar strains, one of the other fifty will get you eventually. A much better solution is to simply stay healthy and fit, however if you cannot manage this simply boosting your body's immune functions or taking a general antiviral dose will help more in the long run.

[Sevv]

I can't wait for mine gonna be sexy =P

yeah vitamin c is good=) but i still recommend flu shots because they first find out what the most common strain is that year, and then base the shot on that one

lol good luck to those of who you wanna be drawn the most xD

For a second I thought Sev was talking about flu shots.

[AndrewAnimation]

lol!!xD guess that depends on the nurse then=]

[Mhurron]

Um, millions?
$1000 != millions.

Photoshop alone is ~$700.

With Adobe's activation, I wouldn't want to get a second hand copy.

Um, exaggeration?

Besides, I didn't go to eBay.

[Mhurron]

Um, exaggeration?
Um, millions?

The question mark (?), also known as an interrogation point, question point, query, or eroteme, is a punctuation mark that replaces the full stop at the end of an interrogative sentence. It can also be used mid-sentence to mark a merely interrogative phrase, where it functions similarly to a comma, such as in the single sentence "Where shall we go? and what shall we do?", but this usage is increasingly rare. The question mark is not used for indirect questions. The question mark character is also often used in place of missing or unknown data.
The question "... millions?" indicates you did not know. The phrase "... millions" would be exaggeration.

BTW, did you not know you were exaggerating?

Secondly, I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you would pick up second hand (did you know e-bay is not the only source of second hand merchandise? amazing isn't it) instead of outright pirating it.

I don't want/need anything from you. Let me know when you purchase a $700 piece of software and I'll throw you a dog biscuit.

[Murphie]

Oh look at me all big and tough because I can't afford to pay for software.

[Mhurron]

Let me know when you purchase a $700 piece of software and I'll throw you a dog biscuit.
If I were a graphics professional, $700 would be nothing but an investment. If I was an amateur, I would look elsewhere.

In neither case did I just take what I had no right to.

I appreciate your concern, but I have more important concerns at the moment than paying for software I use maybe once or twice a month. If I were actually making a profit off of it, or planned on using it more seriously I would purchase a liscense.

My moral compass is working perfectly fine.

Oh look at me all big and tough because I can't afford to pay for software.

I Thanked you because that was actually pretty funny.

Also, of course, you know I must respond by observing your behavioral similarities to an evil clown (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/evilclown.htm)

'Course, I was never afraid of clowns (not even It), and I can be a bit of a clown myself, though I'd loathe to be associated with evil. But that's off topic. In fact, this whole thing's off-topic: the only "topic" to be had here is somebody making fantasy character art for interested persons.

(Also, I :rofl:'d at necromancer (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/necromancer.htm).)

Just because I share his opinion doesn't mean that I'm helping him, Mr. Internet Tough Guy.

$1000 != millions.
To be fair, licensing is not the same as ownership.


Although that's a moot point since Dak is too stupid to have been making that point.

If you don't need it, why did you bother stealing it?

I'll be the first to say that copyright law is horribly, horribly broken right now, and has been for a long time. The internet is highlighting this issue.

However, disagreeing with the morals of individuals that produce copyrighted works does not give you the right to take said works. I don't believe that people should charge money for food-- but I would never walk into a grocery store and swipe snacks.

I personally have no software worth money on my computer. Everything is 100% gratis-- and the makers intended it that way. And for whatever it is you're doing in photoshop if you're enough of an idiot to pirate it and only use it once a month, he same or similar quality can probably be got in GIMP. Hope you do realize how easy it is to track cracked software, though. Is a piece of software you don't need worth thousands of dollars in legal fees and settlement costs?

[AndrewAnimation]

i think the problem though is that it's so wide-spread now, whether it's software, movies, games, or especially music=( anyone who gets caught would probably be like 'i'm not paying a dime til you do the same to everyone else'

[Evion]

So...., When's the next art drawing Andrew?

[AndrewAnimation]

i'm not sure=( but i only have 1 more game to draw for before i start the entire list allll over again. the list is 10 games long. once the list starts over, FFXI could be anywhere from chosen immediately to chosen last. i keep the game selections random too=) all in all though, it'll run real slow, unfortunately. but worry not, for i shall definitely PM any winners, so you don't have to bother with this thread if you don't like=)

[Sevv]

You should post all your drawings here Andrew '.'/

[Neomage]

So you just randomly pick different characters/games to draw from? Interesting way of doing things... most people I know go from a list and work there way down. Still keeps things fresha nd stops them from getting boring =D

[AndrewAnimation]

and then callisto would be next, whom you've seen, so i guess i'll stop there=] you can see the older ones than callisto in my deviantart gallery if you want

yup onion, but once a game is picked, it can't get picked again till all the games are picked. i wouldn't do the orderly list method, or else the last posters wouldn't get an equal chance, and i wouldn't like that=) i <3 random

added murwitz!

[Neomage]

Woah... those last two... those are just crazy...

Pure... Awesome...

[Evion]

Andrew, you're pretty good at turning cartoonish characters from different things into Sweet anime-esk drawings. However, do you ever do human-to-anime? If so, would you post an example please?

[AndrewAnimation]

lol thanks onion

no evion i think you mean if i ever drew a character from a photo, in which case no, not once=)

[Evion]

You should try it! I bet people would pay you for it if you could do it well and maybe frame it...

[AndrewAnimation]

aw thanks. x3 i don't like accepting money for art, though, maybe from bad experiences in the past

[Aksannyi]

Then I will accept money for your art. :P

J/K man.
