It's Inktober!!! And since I never follow the actual rules of Inktober, I would like to do some art trades with people ^_^
I will stop taking fullbody trade requests on Wednesday, October 17th; headshots/busts on Thursday, October 18th; sketches on Friday, October 19th - so fair warning if you want an art trade jump in and post! ^_^
Examples of my recent pieces are on the second post.
What can I draw?
-Animals
-Dragons
-Humanoids (faeries, draconic, kitsune, etc.)
-Humans... (not my preference but since I'm starting a comic I need the practice)
What can I do?
-Sketches
-Character designs
-Flatcolors
-Shaded (new style or random test style as I'm experimenting, you decide if you're willing to be part of the experiment)
What do I want?
-Equivalent trades, so sketch for sketch, finished fullbody for finished fullbody, etc.
What's my time frame?
-Sketches: 24 hrs
-Character designs: 3 days for a fullbody reference with detail and shading as I communicate each process (sketch, colors, etc.)
-Flatcolor busts: 1-2 days
-Flatcolor fullbodies: 1-3 days
-Shaded busts: 1-2 days
-Shaded fullbodies: 1-3 days
-Other random experiments? (Gjinkas, chibis, new species creation, etc.) 1-7 days depending on difficulty/level of realism
Why exactly am I doing this?
My aunt just passed away and it's kicking my butt into gear. I've not worked hard towards reaching my goals and now that I'm out of college, the amount of time I can take to try and succeed at these goals has just decreased. I am quitting my job as of the 19th and taking three months to see if I can succeed as an author, along with starting a comic series - so I want to practice with things that have people holding me accountable, while still allowing myself a lot of artistic freedom and flexibility.
Tl;dr: My life took a turn for the worst and I'm going to make the most of it. So toss your OC's, dragons, theoretical ideas at me, and let me explore my evolving art style and have some fun.
What will you be drawing?
-It depends on what you are comfortable drawing and what you want to improve on. If you tell me you're excellent at drawing foxes but want to improve upon drawings wings- I'll ask you to draw a fox with feathers somewhere and let you use your artistic freedom to decide if you're turning the fur into feathers, making a feathery tail, adding wings, making feather claws (lol wut?), etc.
I don't have official OC references yet for my characters (none that are recent or updated at least) so this is mainly for exploration for both you and me.

I plan on updating this soon with examples of recent sketches (must scan them in) and humanoid examples this coming week as I have the chance or as people request them in trades.
I have completed a black and white commission for a band but it has adult themes and therefore will not be posting it on FR/linking to it. It is not found on my dA page for this reason, you may search my tumblr if you want to look for it (arikin13).

I will take 5 trade requests at a time, with the traders acknowledging a maximum time frame of a week turn around. (So if I take five trades 10/7/2018, all five of my end must be completed by 10/14/2018 - your end can take as long as you state on your request)
I don't complete one and then move to the next- I go step by step with all trades at the same time. Sketches take minimal time, and will be done either same day or next day. Longer projects take communication which is why they are not done same day, even if I say one piece will be completed a week out, does not mean that your trade will not be completed, say, tomorrow.

@
NorthernLiights - thank you! ^_^ She was really fun to draw! ^_^
@
roadworthy - I'm really looking to trade with anyone at this time, so style doesn't matter to me, it's really about helping me explore my capabilities while also helping those trading with me focus on exploring what they consider themselves weak at.
Also, that Guardian sketch is amazing! ^_^
Alright- so for my portion of the trade I can definitely do a headshot sketch for Spitfire. Would you like her as a dragon or humanoid/gjinka?
Edit: And a headshot of either
Relaine "Raine",
Iriehari "Irie", or
Mykirya would be appreciated! ^_^ Raine is a PC, Irie is a SD, and Mykirya is a spiral.

Aw, thankies. :3
Spitfire as a dragon would be good. But staying 100% "on-model" with her isn't necessary, so feel free to play with that, if that's your thing.
What would you like me to draw, for my half?
Saw the edit! Will look at each and let you know by tomorrow. :3

@QueenKatoe - It's a toss-up between Cheshire and Olive for me - all of your dragons were very lovely but these two don't have any art on their profiles and aren't SD's which is all I've drawn FR related thus far! XD I'll have to roll a dice later to make up my mind.
Let's go for a shaded fullbody - the apparel will be a good challenge for me. Would you like the characters as dragons or draconic humanoid/gjinka?
In return, would you be willing to do one of the following characters?
[url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=42011730]Kraken[/url], [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=43818042]Nym[/url], [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=28877876]Raine[/url], [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=42672287]Mori[/url], [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=42070029]Cadha[/url], [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=45106120]Mykirya[/url], or the following scry:

The scry is based off an OC of mine
I'll give a time frame of the full week for this one as I'll want to communicate my process - so the initial sketch will be done tomorrow, base colors and final sketch by Wednesday, and final piece by next Sunday, 10/14.
