    Another rough draft to finished commission by Alex Dai

    Rough Draft #1

    Alex worked on this one a bit to get the style that worked best with me. The first issue was trying to figure out how to make Caliga's helmet work with Ratty's mask.
    Alex4.jpg

    Rough Draft #2

    We had different ideas about what would be in the projector. I decided that Caliga's helmet pattern should be a mask texture over his face and hair put back.

    Alex5.jpg

    Rough # 3

    Alex decided on Catiga and all the junk food. Alex had the idea of changing the teeth to be more rat like but i opted out of it on the principle that we had already created him one way already.

    and FINAL

    Was very happy with this. I think it caught the original very well and make a great parody on it. I guess that is what Caliga gets for leaving is base unattened standing in RenCen all day.

    Rough draft to finished commission done by Alex Dai

    Part 1:

    Team A Maze Inc.

    Rough Draft #1

    Alex gave me several different version with this. I think he was challenged with Nisroc the most, he was never happy with him.
    sketch.jpg

    Rough Draft #2

    Alex had the idea of his helm opening up like Iron Man, he ended up not liking it.

    sketch_2_1.jpg

    Rough Draft #3

    We were almost there but Nisroc had some leg problems

    For most artists, it's totally dependent on how many characters there are and how much background you want. If you might want to commission me, send me a tell with what you're interested in and I can give you a quote. :smile:

    My second question would be:" how Do I pay for commisions?"
    I'm assuming, with credit probally..

    However, I'd prefer to use money that actually exists.

    In the interest of not derailing the thread, I suggest sending the artist a PM and asking therein.

    There's also a thread about commission artists and such, it would probably be best to inquire in there.

    And here is a link for Smackwell's Scribbles.

    And Commission Artist Network, which is how I found out Smackwell does commissions. I think it's very important to support your community heroes.

    One day, Champions will be gone and all those characters and people will vanish. Commissions are the best way to save these memories and keep your characters alive.

    I plan to have more done by Smackwell and I encourage artist and art lovers to keep their favorite heroes alive. I've also contacted a couple people about doing an action-figure on deviant art but once again, I'd prefer to support my Champions Online community, first.


    Ps

    Linking these threads on an iPhone is a huge pain in the Caliga.

    For the record I didn't pick the people to die. Just throwing that out there.

    But since you did die, I would like to think that you were the first to go. Mechanon seems like a guy who would totally do a "shock and awe" campaign and beat the best first. Hey! Weren't you wanting a cosmic battle that you would lose? Could always do a prequel to this.
