My current rate is $10 for a single charcter black and white pic, and $20 for a color one. Thats about what I (as a not-rich RPG player) would be willing to pay for a good pic of a PC. I'm not actually sure, but I believe most artists would charge signifigantly more than that and I'll probably have to raise my price someday.
As to why I'm giving them away; I like to draw- its fun and relaxing, I can usually make an NPC out of a pic for my campaign, it gives me a little publicity, and hey, I like ENworld. I also find that its good practice to draw something someone else describes, rather than working exclusively by my own twisted mind. I would, of course, prefer to get paid and if you want to pay me for drawing your character I'll gladly take your money

That my friend is extremely reasonable. I've blown 5 bucks on a magazine that will ended up in the trash! I've spent 20 on a CD for one song and found out the rest are crap. And the list goes on. To get a quick sketch custom made for 10 or 20 dollars is a good and fair price.
My question is, can I get the signed original so I can frame it? That would make for a sweet deal.
Of course I pay the shipping.You take Paypal? Never used it before, but I guess I'll have to "get with the times" at some point.
(Heck, you're in Boston, right? Guess I could just *hand* you a cheque, but that would require actually getting up from my chair.
)
Anyway... some more details on Conaill:
The majority of his full plate armor (minus breastplate and helmet) was "liberated" from an orcish blackguard. It's lacquered black and looks Roman in design (yes, I know the Romans didn't have full plate armor, but that's what my DM told me.)

Ok--did I thank you enough for my ratrider? Also for Dr. Midnight's second cool coloring? I loooove this picture, all versions.
No pressure, 'cause I'm happy with my one picture, but if you're in the mood to do more rat riders, here's another idea:
Before the villagers were able to breed rats large enough for riding, they went through a phase of breeding them about dog size, and hitching them up to sleds. No, really.
And they have an annual winter festival, with an ice castle grandstand, where they still race the ratsleds. More like the Circus Maximus than the Iditarod. Lots of drinking hot beverages and banging cowbells, lots of betting and carousing.
The winters in Daybreak are reeeeally long, dark, wet and icy. The latewinter festival is about the only thing that keeps them going through February.
So, what I'm looking for in the picture, is a ratsled racer, careening around an icy turn, with the wind whipping past the rat's whiskers and shaved ice spray blowing up from the steel sled runners. There could either be a team of six rats, like a dogsled, or a pair of rats, like chariot horses. There should be cheerful banners. The jockey should be dressed in something warm but flamboyant and colorful. He's probably a halfling, or a young human.
Attached is a file with the kind of rats I've been thinking of--not so much the white lab rat with the red eyes, but rather friendly looking hooded rats with black eyes. Of course, just at the moment, they're out for blood, rats being whip smart and all, and knowing the winning rats will get to stud the females . . .

Fandamntastic!
Amazing!
I was so impressed with your portraits that I joined the forum, hoping to get in on the action. You really are quite talented, and it's great that everyone took notice.
So how about my character?
His name is Crush
Male Half-Orc
Barbarian 1/Fighter 6/ Kensai 2
He wields a massive flaming mercurial greatsword named Doombringer and carries a mighty composite longbow. He's very aggressive and very strong (Str 22). Recently he's turned away somewhat from his more barbaric roots and gotten heavily into Oriental fighting styles. He talks about ki a lot and has become quite refined for a half-orc. I see him fighting like Li Mu Bai from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, except that he's huge and wields a massive, flaming sword as if it weighed nothing. He refuses to let anything get in his way.
He wears a breastplate, gauntlets, a magical armlet and most importantly: a magic spiked helmet given to him by his father, which carries his father's rage inside.
Even if you don't get around to this character, I still appreciate the pictures you've done. The Wolverine guy looks like one of my NPCs!
Keep up the great work!
