here is the last plurk on it
it has examples of edits I finished
idk why imgur decided it won't give me direct links but hey
1. pick a portrait (you can get one from xy or earlier generations too) 2. post it with your character's name + any extra details you might want (different clothes, markings, etc) 3. I will start on it and post progress so you can see how it goes and if you want any tweaks done 4. ??? 5. profit!
no these are totally free, just with the caveat that they'll be done in my own time ie they won't be done instantly
if you really want to give me something in return you could throw dw points my way? but it's really not necessary
anyway that's all from me for now
ah yes here I go again with the stupid portrait edits
yes good i am here!

sasha? brown hair instead of black
i couldnt find a bigger one that showed the legs
that's all good I can just resize that in photoshop
you want that exact outfit for sasha/any color preferences?
hmmm lemme grab a particular shade of green she'd gravitate to
also if I put a potato emblem on her hat instead. would that offend you
a potato is fine!

and that shade of green
so full disclosure I was actually working on a personal edit project before opening up this plurk and I'm almost finished coloring on that, so that's why I haven't done any progress checks yet
I am absolutely not ignoring or putting off anything I'm just trying to decide what freaking color scheme this outfit should have

progress check for seeeerrrrrshaaaa
and yes the file is a little big, I wanted to make sure I didn't lose any details, I'll resize it however you want when it's done
...and I've discovered yeah, resizing in photoshop and editing from there it's not that bad so if anybody wants fullbody edits I can do them from the smaller pictures
or splice them together from others from pieces that don't have full body shots for some reason cause, I'm kind of an artist on my own not just a glorified tracer

progress check for sasha again, almost done!!
oh wow i missed the first progress check BUT YES I LIKE IT
i like you even edited the dangly bits of hair!
recipeh:

I'm sorry it took so long DERE SHE IIIIS
tell me where to send POINTS
and what name do i credit
ummm just use my plurk name I guess, and you really don't have to send points but last time someone did I had them sent to botan's journal
god, any for Walter would be a pain int he arse so, it's cool if you wanna say no! But if it isn't too much of a faff, then I reckon this pose would suit him!
Dya need me to provide a reference pic for him?
for walter? I think I can dig up references for him well enough, silent hill isn't obscure at least
also did you want the fullbody of norman for walter or are you good with just portrait like that
god that sounds so weird to say
whichever's easier! I'm good with the smaller image tbh, I've got an idea for it (using it as his battlebox image wooo
I know this sounds absolutely ridiculous but my mom has bronchitis
so I'm going to try and get yours done by wednesday but lol cripes
dude it's fine, there's no hurry for this!
hope your mum gets better soon tho
I hope so too, dang, this is the second time she's had it this year
hey y'all mozart bringing an update: I haven't forgotten this at all, but it's been a busy week/weekend, if you're on my personal plurk you know my mom's in the hospital now and basically everyone in my house except me got sick, so that's been fun
it's also why I've been spotty on tags besides trying to force myself to focus on one thing and finish it
I'm not noting it here for excuses or "feel sorry for mozart" just hey I don't wanna be a jerk and leave people hanging
full disclosure hair parted in the middle like his is always intimidating for me to draw haha I'mma hope it turns out okay
dude it looks amazing so far!
He's not so tough '^' he's just a serial killer with mommy issues
but he can still look hella intimidating
true his eyebrows must be sharper in the final linework

second progress check, final lines and colors are ready to go down tomorrow
if there's any changes you want made let me know!
it's looking great! My only thing s I'd prefer if the sleeves aren't rolled down, that's not really his style c:
is this still open or are you all full up/tuckered out?
It's still open! and yeah I'll fix the sleeves chin
id love one on Diana but ill have to try and find some good images on her (curse you book characters from less popular series)
Merci! Oh and on colours before you do that; can the jack/coat be blue with the t-shirt black? Wasn't sure if you were gonna use the same colours as Norman or not so I wanted to specify :x
oh no I try to tailor it to what colors the characters wear in their default outfit, so dark blues/kinda greyish would have been my initial pick for walter
I can add in black though
in fact having a nice specific direction where to put the colors is always very nice
no image this time since I'm running to bed, however TODAY: fixed walter's sleeves, he has proper sun protection now, final lines have started to be put down as well as shading

final lines/check before I put down the colors and head off to work!
featuring ya boy clean shaven because I want those lines to be his hair color like they should be haha
oooo looks good by me 8D And yeah I that's cool by me haha (but god is it weird to see him clean shaven)
he looks so much like an anime prettyboy right now it's hilarious

I immediately put it back
(and sorry for any jankiness again, facial hair isn't really my thing in drawing nor does it seem common with these trainer portraits for example)
also with color picking I noted that walter's hair seems to be largely the same ash/dishwater blonde color maka's is

same blonde
I guess they like that color in japan for more "realistic" blond that people would have :B
again sorry for the long long wait, please enjoy it
aaaaa this is prefect, ty!
Unlike my ability to type
it could be prefect too, you don't know
Walter is running a nice prefecture now
BonnieBrit: also if you still wanted one of Diana I can try and work out with you what the trainer portrait would look like? it doesn't have to be a perfect reference, just basic idea of what they look like, what they'd wear, eye/hair/skin color and whatever extra things
okay. ill have a look at some of the trainer sprites today and get back to you!
hey do you have a preferred source for the sprites? in not sure where to look
okay, i have a couple of potential images
are you preferring to do just head and shoulder sprites?
oh sorry I missed these messages, in previous plurks about edits I left links to trainer portraits and stuff
I can do whatever you want edited whatever you want to use it for, I just did a full body portrait for sasha earlier and didn't do That Bad with it
I can't seem to find a good image of the full body (which is fine because I would have asked for sensible shoes anyway)
so ill just go with this headshot
here are the actor they use for Diana on the book covers
can i request she have a bit of a smirk on her face?
so, yes, she has dark brown hair, brown eyes and is of latina descent so a little darker than the original trainer sprite
she has long hair so itd be cool to have her hair hanging down if its not too much trouble
I'll do my best! it's like ten at night tho so I've put away my tablet
(also TW; scars. diana has whipping scars across her back that are healing so her back inst covered by her hair, and you're comfortable doing it, itd be neat to see them too
oh theres no rush at all don't you worry!
im just really excited to even have the chance of you doing it for me
obviously its literally a free commission so you finish if and when you want <3

also if you did want a full body (with sensible shoes of course) I can literally just blow up any image needed in photoshop, it's not a problem
also also did you want her carrying the grocery bag or something different?
oh Diana is obsessed with food XD its partially why i picked it
but if youre happy doing the full body then ill happily say yes
this is the only image of fullbody i found and i thought it might not be clear enough for you to work with
I've found enlarging them in photoshop and just like, because of the nature of how I do these it really doesn't matter if they're small, once I start drawing them it's like "oh it's okay, this is fine"
but that's also why I post progress checks, both for transparency and "okay does this look all right so far?" since it's FOR somebody else
also

this is the edit I did for my child soldier character so haha yeah I'm good with doing scars, I'll just hope I'm doing them justice
haha okay i just wanted to check. thank you so much!
