I love the idea of art trades, and since there are so many talented artists on WS, I figured it was high time to set up an art trade thread. I'm not going to be too official about it. I'll do anything from a sketch trade to a full-out refined, colored piece, as long as the same amount of effort was put into what I'm getting. Descriptions can be loose or specific, but nothing above PG-13, please. Anyone up for it? EDIT: So because art is not everyone's forte, I ought to include that I'll trade for writing or ice cream or whatever else you think will entice me. EDIT 2: Separate thread for the artworks themselves.

Me me me! x3
lol Yeah, I have no idea, but it would be cool to get a full sketch of Sigath :P I'm fine with a sketch if you'd prefer or a color if you'd be okay with that. I'd just need to know who you want me to do [cough]be madison[/cough]

By a full sketch you mean a full-body sketch? And would color be too much of a hassle for you? (If I'm coloring, I'm probably going to take the sketch and make it into a multiply layer in Photoshop and color beneath that.) Also, if you've got any references I could use, from your own sketches or wherever, send 'em to me if you can. I won't be able to work on it until mid or end of May, probably, 'cos of finals. Just letting you know. Oh, I'll have to think about who I want you to draw... hm... it's a tough choice... eh... How about Madison?

Art trade?! I'm so in!
I'd be glad to do some stuff, they won't be digital but hand drawn stuff I scan in, hope that's okay. Any requests for charrie pics, or how I should/can draw them?

Hand-drawn's completely fine. You can choose between Reinald and Madison, 'cos you've already drawn Aras. I'd prefer if they were doing something (e.g. playing the contrabass, doing paperwork, trying to resist the urge to throttle someone, etc.) in the drawing, but I know action poses are hard to draw...
Which of your characters would you like me to draw? Sketch, colored/refined sketch, lineart...? Any other specifications?

I'd like a portrait, fully colored. Nothing very big, because I want to return the favor and I haven't gotten too far into bodies yet. I'm practing faces and necks and shoulders. Really I don't have much to go one for Sigath. I've never tried to sketch him because every time I try it fails epically. I'll see what I can whip up in a little bit and upload it witht eh Sketch Requests I've finished on DevArt.
And take your time on it. I don't mind waiting since it might take me a bit to get it how I want it to look. Do you have any preference for facial expressions for her? Or particular excessories [ earrings or makeup or things like that since I'm coloring ]?

Urk, you mean a portrait like the semi-realism type ones I've done for Madison and Aras? 'Cos those take forever to do. Everything goes wonky when I start removing lineart... Would you take something that's less realistic? The coloring will still have a sort of painterly style, 'cos that's just the way I color, but there's going to be definite lineart.
As far as Madison goes, I don't have any particular expression in mind. She usually has makeup on. Go wild with accessories; she loves those sorts of things, even stuff that most other people would consider weird. If you're planning on doing anything beyond a bust, just remember that she has a tattoo and paints her nails. *pokes towards profile*
