Let's say it is finished.

Not out of painter cowardice or something but because I fear I am pushing my luck here and that i will be accumulating mistakes.

I hope that bird is OK, human anatomy is so difficult, let alone bird anatomy, i stayed close to my example so perhaps it is decent though i have no clue what all those feathers are. The gauntlet is simplified so apologies to all people knowledgeable in these matters, I wanted to paint a pretty and romantic painting, hope you like it.

These two hunters have the same eyes, I do not know who is the most lethal, i leave that to your imagination.

Dedicated to the amazing Nathie :iconnathie: this painting is not me trying to copy his style, it is just that we have the same aesthetic criteria apparently ;-)

This is one of my favs, I love it. Having spent 20+ years working with raptors, I think you did an awesome job on both bird and gauntlet. If ever you decide to put it to print, I'd gladly buy one from you ^^

Oh, I bought 2. I love it SO much that I'm sending one to my sister as well ^^

Do you take commissions?

If so, what do you charge?

oh thanks for buying two of them, dA has not noticed me yet so i could not thank you yet :-(

I do commissions but as i normally work 50 hours average on a work you can imagine i cannot do this for free, if you have something very specific in mind, do not hesitate to send me a note and we can take this from there

I totally understand being paid for your work. All good artists should be.

I have three character groups I want pieces made up for so bare with me while I go through them here. If you can give me an estimate on each group, I'll work out a way to get you paid. I want all three to be in a loving embrace or something that shows their deep love for one another.^^

The first two characters are as follows. The man looks like your Hunter (the hot stuff that I bought) with sapphire eyes instead of the pale blue, and the woman is his wife. They're based off characters in a role play game I host. The man is Evan and his wife is Kenna. Evan is 6'4" and Kenna is 5'9" if that helps any. Since you pretty much know what 'Evan' looks like, let me break Kenna down for you. Here's an example of the face/body structure I want for her:

[link]

Her hair needs to be waist length, dark brown and have wavy curls. Her skin is creamy pale and she has light freckles over her nose. Her eyes are lilac to violet in color and she usually wears clothes in colors to compliment her hair or eyes (light blues, dark reds, pale turquoise, white, cream and beige/light tan). She'll wear light flowy dresses, though nothing too revealing. Mid thigh at most. She'll wear tank tops or sleeveless shirts, but nothing too low cut in the front. She's a very shy, modest character whose power is that of the healer. Kenna is completely devoted to Evan, and he is head over heels for her as well. Both Kenna and Evan are Scottish.

Group two is also two characters. The man is Athos and has a face like this one:

[link]

Athos is 6'7" and very powerfully built. He's a Greek demigod whose grandmother is Aphrodite. He's very straight laced and forward, being the ambassador to the UN for Greece (this RP is set in the future so that no real life people are portrayed). Athos' hair is black and his eyes are that pale, icy blue. He's got a classic Greek/Mediterranean tan and a body that was built to please a woman. His wife is Skye. Closest I can get to her is this pic here:

[link]

Skye has teal eyes though and not green. She stands 6'1" and is curvy. Where Kenna is rather petite, Skye is just plain skinny. She's got a healthy bust though where Kenna's are smallish, like in the pic above. Skye is nearly twice that. Her hair also hangs to her waist and is also curly. She wears hip hugger jeans and tight fitting tops. She's a Scottish woman whose full of clan pride where Athos is all Greek.

Lastly, group three is also a couple. Arran is 6'3" and Mariah is an even 6'. Once again, both are Scottish, though these two have loved each other since they were children. Kenna is their daughter. Here's the best reference I've found of Arran:

[link]

Arran's hair hangs just below his shoulders (like your Hunter's)and his eyes are sage green. He usually wears brown leather pants and no shirt. He's got a great body... full of manly yumminess.

Mariah is here:

[link]

Mari's hair is a deep auburn, hangs to mid back and has golden highlights. Her eyes are a brilliant emerald. You can sort of see her body type from the drawing I did, and pretty much what she used to wear.

Ok, so that's the lot. I give you creative liberty to make up clothing and backgrounds for them when coming up with your ideas. Let me know what each piece will cost. I know you work a lot of hours and your time is valuable, but I'm willing to pay for good work ^^
