Does someone have a list of highly-rated people to commission? I'm considering getting one.
Else I just browse for random goldmine artists here; https://artistsnclients.com/

While messing around with MOOCode I found rexpaint and immediately got distracted for like 30minutes and made a portrait of a character. Just to try and get a visualization of it. There's a lot of things I can tweak. And improve on, but it's one of the first art apps I've had that was simple enough to make it easy for me to express things. Without making me feel like I'm incompetent because of the simplicity of the image, the simplicity is the point. I'm a terrible artist, but this is basically my first thing I've felt was not akin to a childs scribble
The picture is made up of 100x100 Ascii characters of around 12 pixels each
It's an ascii art editor, so everything there is theoretically viewable in Sindome too.
Improvement points,
Refine the shape of the face. I used a basic elipses but I think if I cut it a little and shaped it I'd get a rougher more face like face. It's very abstract at current, Figuring out how to convey scarring was hard. Ended up using flatter colors for it
The hand is also hard I need to probably do a study on how to convey those in ascii.
I'm enjoying this tool and have a buncha little icons I made as well that I made while thinking about tweaking the skill helps to have a bit better formatting and presentation.

Uploaded to Imgur to avoid the fuckery of it scaling something to a 10th of the size.

Anime girl generators are kinda fun. And they make far better art than I do, so there's that, too.
@ynk Also np, it should be working though, I hope! ^^" If you're having trouble to load it, it might be because of the high-ass resolution. Maybe should've uploaded a smol version..

Another commission by a different artist, Nakamanga from Artists & Clients!
So I want to commission art of my character next month, and I'm wondering if given the uniqueness of some of my characters descriptive aspects, if I should avoid posting the image here or if it would be okay?

@rhea: I'm getting a commission and as soon as I'm done it's gonna be fairly clear who my character could be.
Just don't meta and all will be well.
If you know someone's character and your character is with their character, and you see the player xhelp "is there a way to plant an explosive on someone without them seeing?" you just don't act on that information.
Play your character as they would act in the situation. GMs are always watching.
(I suppose if you don't trust yourself not to meta, then the BgBB isn't for you.)

Nah I meant more in the case of other people not meta'ing. But then I kevlar approximately once every three to four days… So I shouldn't be as worried as I am.

There's a certain level of trust that comes with playing Sindome. And it's not your responsibility to protect against other players' actions.
If someone really needs to cheat (or attempt to cheat) to feel good about themselves, then we can trust that the GMs will deal with it.

Thanks for the reassurances, I'm probably gonna commission it on the first of next month, just looking for a basic head shot type thing. And I wonder, anyone had experiences with artists who are good at scars and dark skin? If not I'll look around and talk to the few I know that accept commissions.

At the top of this thread I asked about that. I had very good luck finding the style I wanted over at Artists & Clients.
The first person I commissioned never replied to my request, so I cancelled it after 4 days. The second person I commissioned responded within 48 hours and it's been amicable so far.
Remember to treat your chosen artist well! Artists are trying to make a living and are exploited often with prices that are typically below minimum wage. Tips are very welcome.
Also, artists typically say fewer words are better. Your artist may also not speak English, so avoid flowery language.
Take your @nakeds and trim them down to the bare necessary details. Find reference pics for parts of your character. Find reference pics for clothing. If you're getting a background with your commission, make a mood board.
The more effort you put up front, the better your commission will turn out. :)

Some artists ask for more information rather than less, so it depends, I think. But yeah, some aren't overly fluent in English.

Don't forget the community commission page as well, link at the top.
I'm probably going to order something from a person in the commission thread just to pass on this kindness. Seeing this has been a wonderful thing. And I'm happy someone liked me enough to do this for me.

Screwed up using the image tag thing cause I was over eager and excited. And then they spent more time and effort on it so I'm going to repost it with the corrections they made. Namely making the lips look right. And adding a signature.
Thank you, it is an awesome thing to see my character pulled out of my head and put into form like this.

New to Sindome and new to pixel art but I thought pixels would suit this cyberpunk vibe.
Okay! My commission's been completed. By cut-box, the artist another player hired in the 2.0 thread. I usually hire artists from Artists 'N Clients, so I hired them after liking what I saw! I love this kind of style. Honestly.
'art', heh. Just something I played with and liked, until I finish finding the right person for a commission. It's an apt 'portrait' of her, in her way…
Still developing on the concept of shadow and azure but with less abstraction. Mixed feelings about the direction.

Know exactly who from the moody vibes.
I really like your use of aesthetic, because it really does look how it feels to be around the character when they're in their groove.
Well done!

Weeks poking and prodding, missing…something. Feeling like I was stuck in some rut of imagining neon rain soaked alleys and some droning Vangelian synth, remembering halcyon days. It's unfinished work, but then so am I.

I literally gasped out loud its so fucking good. The expression, my god.
Absolutely delighted with this sketchwork of my character done by the very capable Lissy Raine https://www.lissyraine.com/ whom I had the pleasure of meeting at Manchester Comicon.
Anyways, without further ado here's the character art:
I'm very much looking forwards to having this coloured and I'm particularly happy with how the Du-Wear Duster turned out.
It's been a week and a bit since I started playing sindome and stuffs been fun! I finally got around to drawing my character, pretty fresh off the boat.
Came across this in my image collection by chance. It is not a commission, I just saved it at one point, forgot about it and when I was looking for a different image for another role-play, I happened to see it and thought 'Woah, this is close'.
While the eye color is not right, this is very similar to how I envisioned my character.
Thought I share, since I could not find the exact rules on the nature of art being shared here.

Right?! I'm so in love with the coloring especially.
I should have mentioned, it was handled by Raffaello on Artists and Clients, was extremely reasonably priced for how good his work is IMO. He did it in just a couple of days, and sent multiple sketches and progress pieces along the way. Fantastic to work with. I also got a speed drawing/coloring video of him doing it that is REALLY COOL OMG.
(Hope you're not offended by a remix, colours inspired me.)

I really hope you understand and believe me when I say I might even like this remix more than the original. It's...perfect. It's her inner portrait. :)
You're amazing and I'm so glad you're part of this community.
I don't know what to say, that's such an incredibly touching sentiment, and you've read the intent exactly. We just seemed to have similar tastes and I saw that lovely azure and was just inspired.
A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding…

Oh, I guess I expressed myself horribly! :X
I didn't mean that your character was ugly, I meant that they're incredibly pretty.
What I meant was, we need more ugly characters, there's too many hotties. XD
Thank you! Though like I said, having an artist do a commission for me, I'm just trying to practice and wanted to share my amateur work. ^^"
I really wanted to picture his hair though, I feel like it came out decent.

I'm a wannabe artist, not gonna call myself anymore than that. But coming from you, that means a lot.

Too wholesome, yeah, but thank you, Shunbun.
Maybe I should just embrace my simplistic cartoon-ic style, because when I try for realism it comes out weird. I get stuck with this sorta round-face thing a lot, though, so I'm trying to find different things.
Ikr? I didn't even ask for a special background, so that kinda came with for free! X_X
The pic I uploaded ended up lower res than the original, but I don't feel like posting it somewhere else as it's kinda big and would take a long time to load anyway, tho' in the original, the facial deets are amazing.
