Request In search of a good artist...

[Asim]

Hi there...

I'm in search of a good sketching artist to make me a good banner and avatar. I've attached pictures of myself below. I want a sort of sketch like version them as a banner and avatar, feel free to change the background, and mix them up together, but make sure the natural sunlight effect remains present. It would be preferable if you can sketch them from scratch into an anime-ish, or just ordinary sketch (Either black and white, or in colour).

oh and put either one of the following quotes in the banner: :animeswea

"Time is the thief of memories" or,
"Basking in the golden tide of the shifting sands"

Thanks and enjoy :animesmil

One of the pics (the really narrow one) has me riding on something that's not fully visible; it's a camel. There's also a guy looking in my direction in it, please do not include him in the sketch.

[size=1]While no rules are directly violated in this type of request, I think you'd have more luck with just requesting the banner you want to begin with. You can always turn down an artist's work, but it's harder to get someone to do work for you. To be honest, no one really wants to do work just to prove themselves -- request what you will, and turn down those that don't fit what you'd like to see.

I hope that tip helps.[/size]

Thanks for the tip Retribution, but I was just trying to make things interesting :animeswea
Anyways I've edited the request, and am hoping it works out :animesmil

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]I wanted your opinion on my sketch before i did another or went any further with your request. I hope this is what you were asking for in terms of style wise. Your face looks funy because i couldnt get any detail out of the photo, that and the fact that its not finished and i wanted to know what u think and what u wanted fixed. This one only took me 10 minutes but the others (if u still want me to do anything)might take a longer time.

Ok, the basic outline is kinda ok, but more detail would be appreciate it; I know that the pic you chose in particular is a bit far, but for example you can use details found in one of the other two pics to complement this one. :animeswea

Anyway, if it took you only ten minutes, I think I'd like to see what would come up if you took your time to do it, so please go ahead and sketch the others. By the way feel free to use PhotoShop effects, tools or whatever to your advantage, and it'd be cool if it looked a bit anime-ish, of a serious anime though :animesmil you know what I mean? :animeswea, but if you think you can do a better job in sort of a portrait like sketch, then go ahead.

Also if possible could you redo the one you posted? :animeswea , you did say you did it in only ten minutes, so I'd like that you take your time with it. :animesmil

Thanks, and looking forward to see what comes up.
