Hello friends! my dear community!!!
Hellooooooo! How are you today?
I was preparing this yesterday, but I was feeling a bit unwell. I've caught a virus; since I woke up, I felt a lot of throat pain😥😥😥 I went through the day somewhat normally, although I felt different compared to a regular day. When the night came, I did have a fever, so I decided to rest and leave it for today.
I have done some commissions over these years. I have tried to collect them all, but I lost some on the laptop. Still, here is a large percentage of them. I used to think that maybe it wasn't the right time to take commissions because I didn't have the right level. What was that level? Well, perhaps to do something decent. Despite my nonsense, I managed to complete several things. Here I show you and tell you about my experience with commissions.

Among these initial designs is the one above, which is a hunter. Something cool about these guys, well, I don't know them all, but I talk to two of the members, and one is the one who gave me the descriptions. That part is great because the descriptions in the document were quite accurate, and if I had any doubts or ideas regarding the creative process, he was very approachable 👍😊 That was great because the communication was very good.
If I'm not mistaken, from my memory🤔, well, no, I'm not🤣 this was the first commission I received. To this day, I don't know who the person was. Suddenly, one day, I received several emails in which they told me many things. They liked what I did and wanted something, something that I could do. I felt some fear because it was strange; it came out of nowhere. Years ago, it was scary and there were robberies, and now it's worse. If you're not careful, you can lose 🙄😥😥😥 That's not cute . Well, I've heard many stories, and I had rejected several offers to create something because I'm a bit foolish, but I did it, and, in fact, I'm still doing it. I usually don't open anything that seems suspicious, even if it looks very tempting. That has allowed me to miss many opportunities, but still, I feel calm, haha. It's weird, but oh well.
After several attempts, I agreed to do what he wanted. It wasn't so easy because I had done Harley before, but at that time, I hadn't done two characters together. With the help of my sister and her boyfriend, they served as models for me to have a reference for the position and other details.
Despite my fears, everything went great. The guy was quite kind. I've heard cases from some colleagues that clients can be grumpy or something 😱😱😱 but it's good that I haven't had any experience like that. He was happy, and so was I!😝😝😘...
I met some people in two different projects. One was a contest, and the other was an NFT page. The truth is that these people came together and were creating something new and alongside some illustrators, we created various things.
In my case, I contributed with four desings for them. In particular, the communication was neutral to good since I didn't have any issues with them, although with other guys, it was a bit more complex😥....
Now that I think about it, I don't know what they did or if they finished what they were planning 🙄but I completed what they sent me👌🥳😅.
The version I made of Ragnar wasn't so bad, but looking at it now, I think it could have been better. Despite some good details, there are others that might be a bit strange and could be improved. However, that's how it turned out at that moment, and they agreed with it👍.
Regarding the details in the costumes of the characters in question, there is indeed a care and texture in them a bit more pronounced than in the other drawings for that moment. The Berserker would come in second; it has some good things there. There are some good details to rescue, like the bear skin, the overall attire, the skin with some tattoos, and the blood, which was my best part.
Something great about that work is that, of the four characters they asked me to create, I liked them all. In other words, you don't always create things that you may like or excite you, that you feel might be better in another way, but well, with this guy, everything was great because between opinions and points of view, we reached a good point, and those types of characters really moved me😊😘😘😘😅👌.
Of all of them, my favorite was the medieval archer, yes, he was the best. In my opinion, the others aren't so bad. In fact, I really like the Vikings; their history and such capture my attention a lot. However, in terms of the drawing's result and the experience I had, the archer was something new for me. He was the most complex; I had to add various elements. It wasn't like the others. Here, I had to depict a kind of battle, something I hadn't done before, but after studying a bit more and having a reference source to develop my work.
This design had several precise details that I liked, such as the mesh, the dirt, and some other little things in the clothing. I like the boy's face; I don't know, but it seems to me that it turned out well, hahaha. It sounds a bit crazy, but there was a bit of fear with these four characters, and that's because they were all men, and I didn't used to draw men. In fact, now I don't draw many men, although compared to before, I do a little more, hahaha. So, this face, body, and everything else was a great find for me, hahaha.
Some time ago, tbh I don't know how this whole story with @loryforg's friends started. If I think about it now, well, I don't come to any clear conclusion; I don't know exactly how it began. One of the members told me about the project they were working on, which was about a game.
They asked me for various things, and from those initial designs, I could find these. I know there's another one that was also on this list, but no matter how much I searched on the computer, I couldn't find it. It must be on the laptop. I have a vague memory of a scorpion or something like that, but I'm not sure🙄🤣.
Looking at this desert snake, the memory of the scorpion becomes more vivid. Sometimes it's challenging to remember a specific drawing, not just from this game but from all the ones I've done throughout my journey, especially if they are old. There are so many, haha!
Well, let's continue...
There was a moment in my story with the folks from @loryforg when I proposed making 2 characters, and one of them is this little creature here, which is like a sea monster. The person I was talking to accepted it, so great. I don't know if they ultimately decided to use it, but I gave it a shot, hahaha. At that time, it seemed cooler, but now that I see it, if they forgot about it, it was the best decision 😝 lol .
After those first characters, some time passed, but I wasn't too far away because one of the members is someone I also consider my friend. I always talk to him.
In summary, those initial designs were what kicked off my story with the @loryforg team, which brought the arrival of the heroes😘🙈.
