[Mike Christ]

Hello peoples!  I am a freelance graphics artist with over a decade of experience, and I can create for you anything you'd like me to.  Please feel free to send me any offers, and I will get back to you with an estimate.














All of my work is created with open-source software (Antergos & Krita.)

How much would you want for a digital painting with the following:

Me (the coolest lesbian in human history) climbing a rocky cliff by the ocean, and I'm towing in-hand a chain with a bunch of naked and scantily clad women leashed to it behind me touching themselves and fawning over me as they climb (4 - 5 women). I'm pointing out to the sea like something's out there -- and I intend to own it! Over the stormy ocean there's some eagles flying around, one catching a salmon with its talons and even the salmon looks like he's enjoying it. A guy who looks sorta like Josh Hutcherson will follow behind my pack of ladies, and he's like a human pack mule carrying a bunch of fishing tackle. Either in realistic/Napoleon's self portrait oil painting style, or pop. I'd enjoy either.

What do you think? Maybe in a size appropriate for a Facebook cover image, and ~300ppi would be rad.

(I know this sounds crackers but, man, I'd love to have a self portrait like this)

God. Such imagination!   

OP, do you draw with a tablet or physically on paper?

Ha ha!  This sounds too epic    Can you PM me a pic of you to use as reference?  Afterwards, I'll send you a rough sketch and we'll take it from there 

OP, do you draw with a tablet or physically on paper?

I draw on both, but I generally like to stick with digital for unlimited undo's and don't have to worry about scanning anything in.  The sketch is deceptive since it looks like pencil, but it's actually a custom pencil tool in SAI    I do have a sketchbook tho that I'll draw in when I'm out and about or at school.  Mostly just for practice, but some of them result in finished pieces.

Do you have much experience drawing MMORPG-style 2D art for a browser game?

This is a pretty big project, happy to pay a fair price:

Base character images for different races, classes
Clothes, like helmets, armor, weapons, needs to go on the character images
UI designs, banners, menus, inventory slots, etc
Map of the game world, maps for specific areas

Let me know if you can handle this.

Don't have much experience, but I have done some practice with a friend after picking up game dev (he was the coder )  As long as you're crystal on what you need for your game, I can definitely give it a go.

What kind of artwork are you looking for?  Pixel art, vector?  Something like Maple Story?  Or something more isometric, like Ragnarok?

Do you have any experience with propaganda style painting? Like in the older style of world leaders? In particular I have in mind this picture of Kim Jong-Il: http://walmerconvenience.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/kim-jong-il-vs-north-korea-artistic-propaganda-posters-6.jpg

I would love to have a self portrait similar to that: standing calmly and cooly in front of crashing, thrashing waves in that propaganda-style of painting (it also makes me think of presidential portraits like the famous JFK portait).

If you think you could do something like that, let me know and I can send you a photo of myself to work with.

Do you have any experience in logos and/or dragons?

PM me ASAP.

Thanks

Sure thing. I've got some stuff to get through today but you'll get a PM from me in the near future with pics etc. woo!

I think I see what you're going for; you want a portrait that essentially makes you look important and amazing and, excuse the terminology, totally badass    If you can get me a full body image, preferably in the pose you're aiming for (but any photograph should do the trick if you can't) I'll see what I can do for you.

You are absolutely, 100% correct XD I'll PM you a picture in just a moment!

Thank you for your kind words

That's a tough question to answer.  I've been drawing since I was a child, like most people.  When I hit puberty, I was obsessed with an anime called FLCL, and for whatever reason, I wanted to draw just like they did.  So I got a How to Draw Manga book for Christmas and tried learning from it.  I was fairly mediocre for years...

<-- Supposed to be Haruko.

And I stopped drawing for VERY long periods of time, for months at a time between works.  But when I did draw, I tried, and kept trying, and got frustrated every time.  I still do get frustrated   But around the time I turned 18 or 19, I saw on deviantArt certain artists which knew how to paint beautifully using tablets on PC, specifically Mike Henry and Genzoman.  So I decided to get one of my own.  I still wasn't very good, but I was definitely picking up a lot of different techniques.  The first time I ever attempted to paint was through Photoshop.



So I'd say I've been painting seriously for at least 2 years, max 3.  But I've been drawing off and on for at least 8, not including anything I did pre-FLCL
