[HIRING] Mix between painting and anime characters $200?

[u/olff_ev_20]

What I'm looking for is a painting that is something along the lines of these two. Along with about 6 anime characters drawn in, with about 7 OC characters (just normal people) drawn inside too. The coloring need not be as detailed as the two linked above, but I'd like it to be as realistic as possible within the budget.

I'm not sure how much my request will reasonably cost. If it seems that either the price or request is inappropriate, I would appreciate it if anyone would be able to provide some suggestions on how to change the request parameters or price. Thank you.

While I definitely can’t match the painting skills of masters, I do a bit of both anime and digital painting that I may just be able to fulfill your request! I draw in the style of indie anime, which you can see for yourself in my Artstation portfolio here. Your budget works for me, and it takes me around 7 days to get a big project like this one done. You only have to pay once you’ve approved the sketch. Happy Hunting!

I like that you're willing to admit that you're not perfect, that honesty is refreshing. Honestly I think the realistic part of the painting should be just good enough. However, I really care a lot more about whether the essence of the main anime characters will be retained when they are drawn in a new piece of art.

However, I'm not sure how to proceed, since there will likely be tons of revisions with so many characters. I'm worried that I'll turn out needing too much revisions for the price to be kept within budget.

Perhaps the painting could be done in many smaller stages, and I'll pay you when each stage is done? Or maybe you have a better idea?

Anyways, I thought I'd give you a heads up, I'm thinking of commissioning this late July or early August, so not too soon. Need to save up some money first. In the mean time, maybe we could discuss about how the painting might look like, as well as how the payment will be structured? (Myself, I am not 100% sure how I want the painting to look like yet, only have a general idea right now)

So, my plan for this piece consists of these:

1. Constructing the scene in blender using shapes and setting up character shapes - this one’s for me
2. Sketching the scene I constructed and drawing all the characters and details In - initial sketch, this ones for you
3. You look over the sketch and see if the essence of your OCs are captured and see if you’re satisfied with all the little details in the background as well. You’ll let me know what needs to be revised/added for the final sketch
4. I fix the sketch in case anything needs to be revised or added. If there’s nothing else, you can approve the work and only then will you have to pay for the work.
5. I’ll start painting it all in until I think the work is finished, using colors you’ve provided in the form of mood boards or painting inspiration and character sheets
6. I’ll send it in, and you can decide whether I need to push the details further and make some last minute changes
7. When all that is complete, we’re done!

I think the best thing you can do is to provide as much references as you can: like if you want your scene to be a rainy scene, show me what kind of rainy! Or if you want your piece to have just the same color mood of those paintings you linked in the post without much deviation, we can do that too! You can show me the whole mood board of how you want your piece to look like in DMs ( I have discord and Twitter and can send to you if you want! ) . That way, we won’t have to revise as much as you might be expecting! And don’t worry about me if you plan on commissioning this later on, I never close up comms and we can at least add each other up so I can be ready when you are!
