Commission ~Atom's Free Commissions~

[AtomBombBaby]

Hi all, Atom here! As always, I'm attempting to branch out and diversify my digital art by practicing something new: commissions! If you're interested, please post the follow in the thread below:

• A reference image or face-claim of your OC -- photorealistic images are preferred over commissioned pieces or stylized art (cartoons, anime, etc).
• A little bit about your OC: name, personality, background, star sign, etc. Just two or three sentences or a bullet list will suffice -- I like to get to know who I'm drawing!
• (Optional) Any other inspiration you feel would help me capture the essence of your OC: music, moodboards, excerpts of an RP you've written with them, etc.

For right now, I won't charge for commissions with the caveat that I also can't promise that I'll draw your OC. You'll know I've chosen your character when I DM you a completed commission! It may also be a bust, a half body, or a full body, either sketched or fully colored. If I really enjoy the process, I may also translate your OC into an Avian so I can practice drawing wings -- my favorite! Find my art thread here for samples of my art style: Digital - ~Atom Continues Learning to Draw~

[EmperorNorton1]

woah, your drawings are so cool! I was wondering if you could possibly do one of my idiots OCs?
realistic faceclaim and a picrew for details that the faceclaim lacks. (although the picrew does not have a proud enough nose option)



This is Chana Teper. She's a diplomat from FantasySovietUnionButLessEvil. She's Idealistic, relentless in her pursuit of justice, someone who is governed by her head, not her heart. In a world where magic is a gift from the gods and the nobility's proof of divine right, not only is she magicless, no, she is immune to magic and can prevent others from casting spells. She's one of them queers, she's this universe's equivalent of Jewish (not that she believes anymore... if there is a g-d, then g-d wouldn't have let the mob and the Cossacks slaughter her family, forever scarring her, both emotionally and physically, a saber's slash marrs her cheek.)

She's 5'4 on a good day, and as for clothing, this is roughly set in the 1910s and 20s, so the shirtwaist and skirt, if not a shirtwaist and pants, would be the dress option, should you choose to do a full body version of her.

oh, songs! so you know Klesmerpunk? anything from that genre would fit, but Daniel Khan and the Painted Songbird's Partisans and Parasites album is full of good songs that have the same intence energy.

Thank you so much for your time and for the opportunity, i hope she catches your interest!

Your art is so good! Oh my gosh. I totally understand if you don't end up drawing my OC, but I'd love to share him with you just in case!


This is the Picrew version I made of him, as well as the actor I've chosen as his faceclaim, Mizero Ncuti Gatwa. His name is Sayyid, and he's actually a sphinx who can take the form of a human man. A transmasc character, in life he was a follower of Shezmu, and he was blessed by the god after his death. He appears to be around 30. He's part of a villain team but not irredeemable; he mostly just likes to have fun, but as a follower of Shezmu and as a sphinx his "fun" can vary: from wine, singing, dancing, and parties to more violent/bloody things. He likes when other people are "fun" and what that means can also vary. He's a flirt, he's graceful, he's stronger than he looks, and he'd be more trouble than he is if he was actually devoted to the main villain's cause, but while he's not disloyal, his boss also basically understands that Sayyid's gonna be off doing what he feels like doing most of the time.

The above is his human form (black, with hair just past his shoulders in tight braids, and yellow eyes); he can choose to look a bit more inhuman at times (can make his eyes slits, even make them glow, and can make his teeth into fangs and/or give himself claws). He can also transform into a large androsphinx (two or three times the size of a human, and he basically looks like a big lion with a mostly-human face), which is pretty much his true form:



Basically like this, except with his face and no headdress (so either his hair or a lion's mane, I'm undecided); definitely slitted eyes this time, but I can give or take the pointed ears (they can be normal human ears or actual lion's ears instead, or like in the pic above). I'd usually say "no wings" as well, but since you want to practice drawing wings, feel free to include them!

Whether you draw him in human form or sphinx form, sketch or color, bust or half-body or full-body, anything would be super good! (In the Picrew image he's basically wearing a goth boy mesh shirt + the black pants that usually go with that, with a black jacket thrown over it, for reference, but I don't mind if you draw him in something else either.) As for songs, I most often think of Sayyid when I'm listening to "Ahlamna" (أحلامنا or "Our Dreams") by Angham ft. Cairokee (here!) and especially "Ganbak Makany" (جنبك مكانى or "My Place Is By Your Side") by Angham (here; warning for occasional flashes of light). And for a short RP scene example:

Spoiler: Short and not-super-deeply-described bar fight under here, and an implied swear...

Sayyid didn't seem particularly bothered by the men's approach; his smile didn't flicker. The moment the most aggressive of them touched his shoulder, however, his dancing shifted and alchemized into... something else.

There was still a great deal of dance to it, his movements graceful as he turned and jammed his elbow into the man's stomach, then kept spinning to meet the second man coming up beside him and drove his palm up into his chin, snapping his head back. Swearing and the starts of threats threw off the music more than Sayyid did, silent, feet still moving, and the almost elegant ways he lashed out hit the beat: dun da dun da dun, knee and arm and fist. As he twirled he spotted the stranger, the only interesting human at this bar, glimpses of him fighting a thug or two of his own -- firing lasers from his eyes? Was he even human, then?

Sayyid could wonder more on that in a minute. As the music changed to the bridge he stilled, holding the final man up against the bar wall by his throat. The man's feet dangled a few inches above the ground.

"What the **** is wrong with you?" he managed, choked, and Sayyid grinned. Letting his fangs show, letting his eyes glow and his pupils slit. The man went still as he felt too-sharp nails dig into the sides of his neck. Even when prey couldn't see the claws, they could be felt, and the hind-brain responded appropriately. Fight had failed, flight was impossible, so now the man froze.

"Shh." Sayyid's response was simple, quiet, and then he dropped him; the man slid down the wall to the ground, knees sagging, reaching up weakly to check his throat for blood.

He turned. The interesting human(?) was watching him, but there was nothing untoward about him now, and he shot his new friend a smile as he sauntered back over to his table and picked up his glass of wine. Then turned and stalked back over to the man on the ground, not even bothering to glance at him, eyes still locked on the other as he upended the wine and poured it calmly over the man's head. Red wine. Symbolic, and a promise, even if no one here would understand that. He knew, and so would Shezmu. This boor was lucky he wasn't bleeding, and it still wasn't out of the question.

"What do you think?" he asked the interesting stranger, narrowing his eyes at him, smile inviting. "Should we paint the town red?"

Thank you for considering this, whether you choose Sayyid to draw or not; your offer is super cool and your art is too!

EmperorNorton1 's OC Chana Teper, both as a human and a Peregrine Falcon Avian.

[Solivagante]

EmperorNorton1 convinced me to throw Chana's counterpart in here (and I absolutely LOVE your rendition of Chana, she's perfect) so here is one Irina "Katya" Vasarov:
F/C is Ashleigh Cummings, especially as Dot in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.

She's the Anastasia to Chana's Gleb, though she's actually declared her intent to take back the not!Russian Imperial throne. Thing is, her motivations are actually genuine - she wants to help people and has been convinced this is the best way to do so - but she's also had her memory manipulated a LOT using magic. The happiest she's ever been, in some ways, was taking care of the younger girls at an orphanage in rural not!Belgium.

Outfit-wise, little complicated because we're in the early 20th century but the French monarchy is still around (for now) and she's currently in Paris so I have been... handwaving the noble fashion a bit. (and by a bit I mean a lot) Any sort of vaguely Edwardian dress would probably be fitting? Or something from an earlier time period in French fashion history if you are so inclined.

Musically, my primary song for her is 'That's Okay' by The Hush Sound.

Thank you for your consideration!

could i perchance request another from the same story as chana and irina? (which person it is, i'll need a moment to decide, for decisions are hard)

Sure, I'll do my best!

 

[EmperorNorton1]

Sure, I'll do my best!

Alrighty then! this is Rivka Shtem, a former Cantonist (child soldier) in the Tzar's army turned revolutionary. entrapped with many of the same memory charms as Irina was, up until she first met Chana, she knew practically nothing of herself, the charms and curses used to keep her docile. thanks to Chana's magic killing abilities, she has been able to remember almost everything, except for who her parents are.

here are some picrews of her, sadly, i dont really have much in terms of a photorealistic.

Edit: found her

 

[Solivagante]

I am also not above coming back for seconds of your fabulous art. Need to see if I can find a faceclaim for the character I have in mind though!

[asphodelus]

Oooh, your art is stunning. If you're willing, here are two of my characters; feel free to pick from them.

Spoiler: Jeden

Jay grew up on a family-owned ranch in an environment similar to small-town midwestern USA. He tries his best to be a roll model to his younger sisters while also helping with the animals. Easy-going lad, enjoys dips in the nearby stream.

I'm no artist, so I've nothing in the way of reference images. Here are some things that could work as FCs:

He often wears those flannel shirts and jeans, preferring soothing colours such as blue or green.

Since I've no real reference for him, you're more than welcome to take creative liberties as you wish.

Spoiler: Uroku

Exiled prince turned existential horror, cursed to live forever in a post-apocalyptic world of demonic monsters that feed on flesh. Bleeds easily but incapable of truly dying.

Unfortunately, no realistic FCs this time, though he does come with a moodboard.

Spoiler: red

Often noted to have torn wings, dark horns, grey skin, and blood red eyes, though some insist that this is dramatisation, that it's really gold — regardless, portrayed colours, dressage, and other creative liberties are up to artist discretion; whatever feels right for you.

 

[Solivagante]

Alright! I've got another character for your consideration:

This is Azadeh 'Az' Meritian, who staged a military coup and made herself empress to keep her country (and anyone else) from using the magical equivalent of nuclear weapons.
Her faceclaim is Yasmine Aker:

Spoiler

She's maybe a bit too conventionally attractive but it's easier to find pics of celebrities, and the intensity of her eyes is right.

Outfit-wise, I'm delighted that the pic of Yasmine Aker in that red jacket exists because Az's 'intimidating humans over dinner' dress is something along these lines, in crimson. (I can't insert an image from that page, sadly.) OR, her day-to-day outfit is what I think of as the 'stereotypical fantasy outfit' - white shirt tucked into pants tucked into boots. Sort of along these lines:

Spoiler

If you do decide to draw her, let me know if you want to know more!
