Intressed in art of your GW character? - Lock requested

Last edited by Spanex on Wed Aug 04, 2010 4:27 am; edited 4 times in total

Hello all. I sometimes take commissions from other GW players who want art of their characters. In exchange, they pay me GW money.

So, here is the deal. If you want to commission me art, (whenever Guild Wars related or not) simply mail me with all the details.

Examples of what I can do: http://spanex.deviantart.com/gallery/#_browse

~SOME RULES~

1. Please be specific of what you want. I DON'T want to hear any "Make w/e u like".

2. I will always add some form of watermark on my art. Even though you buy the art, it doesn't give you the rightful permission to brag that 'you made it'. It's only a small watermark that will make sure no one steals it.

3. Please, please, PLEASE...be patient. I will not forget or quit on your commission. UNLESS you do something to me that really makes me pissed at you. : )

~PRICES~

Prices are as follows, judged by previous commissioners' offers.

Sketch: 15k

Lineart: 20k

Flat-colored: 30k

Colored & shaded: 40k

Colored, shaded & simple background: 50k

Colored, shaded & complicated background: 70k

You may also pay using real money, (paypal only). Prizes for that are as follows:
(Prices may be subject to change over time. GW prices will stay the same.)

Sketch: € 5,-

Lineart: € 10,-

Flat-colored: € 12,-

Colored & shaded: € 15,-

Colored, shaded & simple background: € 20,-

Colored, shaded & complicated background: € 25,-

Note: You can pay with Euros using Paypal. The site will calculate for you how much you're paying with your own money (Dollars, ect.). It'll be converted into Euros when you send your money.

~HOW TO PAY~

It's quite simple.

GUILD WARS:
Simply email me with all the details and whichever 'type' of drawing it'll be. (sketch, lineart, colored, ect. Prices are listed above.) When I finnished the sketch and send it to you to review, and you accept that drawing to be finnished, you will show the money (you don't need to pay right away.) Once I finnish the picture, I send you a heavily watermarked version as preview. You will recieve the full image without watermark once the price has been paid.

PAYPAL:
It's alot like the way you pay it in Guild Wars. Only when you pay, just send the full price to ????. Please categorize your payment as Personal -> Other. Also, please add a note who you are and why you're paying. That way I can keep a better track of everything. Please only use Euros. They'll be converted from your own kind of money with Paypal.

~CONTACT~

Commissions no longer taken

just point out u can get banned for tradeing real stuff for in game stuff

and you are good sir Very Happy

Oh, but this isn't in-game selling. Not like selling ectos or zkeys for real money. These are drawings, not items. So Anet has no reason to ban me for that, unless they officially can state selling own-made drawings to people who agree to offer game money for it is illegal.

Gaia Online has plenty of artists doing it the exact same thing. No one got banned for that.

Oh, and I'm a girl. ^-^

u are? opps lol also thought u were a guy Very Happy

Either way I don't think this is illegal. Selling art in general is not illegal by itself. Unless someone would like to provide me proof of any rule about it. Until then, the commission list is here to stay.

Edit: I just sent a question to the NCSoft staff. Now we'll have to wait and see what they have to say about this.

Looks good anywho

Just a little update: I haven't got a message back from them yet so far. If they happen to not reply at all I'll assume this is perfectly legal.

"Hello,

It is a violation of our rules to trade Guild Wars accounts or virtual items for real world payment, to attempt to do so, or to aid others in their attempts to do so. It is also a violation to trade any Guild Wars game account or in game items/gold for any items or services found outside of normal Guild Wars gameplay, virtual or real.

This would include art of any kind. I, therefore, highly discourage you from doing so to ensure that you avoid any action taken against your account.

Real-Money Trading Policy"

So here's our answer. I find it sad, but I rather obey the rules instead of getting dhuumed. So can a mod please lock this topic?
