Hey you guys!! Are you (yes, you!!) interested in having some ~*~sweet artwork~*~ of your charming FFXIV characters? In fact, are you (yes, you!!) interested in helping a small Mog-loving person gain access to Heavensward? Or Stormblood, when the time is right? Or even have the funds to pull off character transfers, or - heck - this game's monthly subscription fee? Better yet, do you (yes!! You!!) want to help them have a few extra dollars for a better lunch during the week, or for necessities that would be used to survive college and life in general??
If so, then great news!! This person here will happily draw for you (yes!! You!!) in order to do just that!!
- I won't be taking commissions right at this moment, however. I'm very new to taking commissions, and I am not yet accustomed to the idea of making artwork and getting paid for it. In addition, I am currently lacking Photoshop - my bread and butter for creating artwork - and am stuck with Clip Studio Paint at the moment. Said program is still new territory for me, so I'm withholding commissions until I know for certain that I can not only handle them, but deliver a certain level of quality befitting commissions.
So instead, I'll be doing sketching requests in order to get the hang of CSP!
And the best part is, these sketches come for free!
So, here's what you (yes!! y- okay, we get the picture) can expect from me;
(All of these images can be opened in a new tab for their true sizes.)
You can get two headshots of a single character - one neutral expression (as in, the character's general expression when relaxed) and one other expression entirely of your choice - on a nifty 700x500 canvas! Or if you have a Lalafell, you can have one full-bodied rough sketch of them on an approximately 650x800 canvas. The above image is smaller than this size.
Headshots take about an hour to create, while full-bodied Lalafell sketches take about two hours to make. Depending on how detailed a character is, it may take longer or shorter than these times before I post them online. A paper-like texture can be placed onto the image upon request.
I will be taking three sketch requests at this time!! In the event that I get more requests, they will have to be put on hold before I decide to take them or not.
If you'd like some fast sketches, here's a quick little template to fill out and reply to this thread to!!:
Whoa! It's a request form!! Wrote:Request Type: Are you asking for two headshots, or one full-bodied Lalafell sketch? Please request one of these; I will not do two types of requests for one person.

Character Name: What's your character's name?
Character Reference: Please provide two to three screenshots of your character - preferably a front view, a three-quarter front view, and a three-quarter back view. For headshots, the closer the screenshots could be to the character's face, the better. Any additional references, including drawn ones, would be greatly appreciated!
Character Description: Briefly describe your character's personality here in no more than two sentences. Alternatively, use keywords in order to describe them. (For example, Ado Tado - the Lalafell depicted above - is a friendly and enthusiastic adventurer, so he is often seen smiling or excited. Even his neutral expression has a hint of a smile upon it most of the time.) You may use this space to describe what you would like to see for the character's expression(s).
Additional details: Is there anything about this character that isn't on the screenshot that you'd like me to take note of? Some examples of what this could be include undepicted scars, beauty marks, alterations to the character's hairstyle or eyes, and so on. Feel free to ask for an additional paper texture here, as well as request a pencil color (as I've used brown for the headshots and black for the rough sketch) or any other specifics you have in mind.
Once I've finished drawing your character, I will PM you with an imgur link to your image. If you feel satisfied with what you see, I'll post it here; if you don't, I will make changes and withhold from posting anything publically until you are satisfied with your request. Feel free to use whatever I draw for your character's wiki or elsewhere; all I ask is that you do not claim the artwork to be yours, nor sell it, nor let it be posted anywhere else without crediting me in some way.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask them!
... Whoa hey, though; what can you expect from a Cin with Photoshop access?
Aside from artwork that is produced at a faster, more accurate rate, all sorts of neat stuff in my opinion. Look forward to it, if you like what you see!
