Art Wall

This wall in my bedroom is my Art Wall which is decorated with some of my commissioned/requested/paid works made by some wonderful artists here on DA.

[Discourses of pictures below are arranged from top-to-bottom-left-to-right]


Raven and Dove by A-Meridiem - Request
        A piece of artwork with my OC Lord Raven, walking with his adopted daughter, Lady Amy. This particular artist has a very simplistic style, but beautiful nonetheless. I recommend watching her! She posts art every single day and it is full of hidden meanings. The facelessness of my characters in this pic leaves the imagination open. Lovely background too! Very well done all around! The raven and dove in the corner are a nice touch too......


Commission: Empress Nautica of the Oceanic Empire by  SmolSalty - Commission/Music-Art Trade
        One of my personal favorite OC's from a story I was writing and one I was dying to see drawn to life. It was a real blessing to have Stacy work on it, though it took a lot of hard work. Because of its personal importance to me, I decided to get it in a 11x14 print. Bigger is always better! Thank you Stacy! Consider it an honor to have a big picture on my wall! Also thank you for the generous discount! 


Request: Lord Raven VS Empress Nautica by ColorfullyMonotone - Request
        More from characters of my story! Here we have the epic duel between the main character, Lord Raven, and Empress Nautica. Though it would be cool to see it in color, truly even the black monochrome design brings variety to this collection. The artist truly lives up to her username...well maybe not the colorful part for this picture. haha!


Karasu-Etsuklau - Noble posing by  ChocoSnail90 - Request
        A fantastic reproduction of this photograph of me in my costume: Noble Posing. I was particularity impressed that Clara got so many details of the environment in this photograph as it was taken at a Halloween party at my Alma Mater. From the ornamental cob webs, the red curtains, and the Blessed Virgin Mary and Child picture in the background, no stone was left unturned. Well done Clara!


REQUEST - Nautica, Empress of the seas by ChocoSnail90 - Request
        Whereas Stacy drew Nautica in her fighting gear, this is the Empress in her Royal Attire done by Clara. A beautifully done image, it captures the royal beauty of the Empress. The anchor earrings were a beautiful touch.


10,000 kiriban- Through a Park in the Fall by  coconutskull  - Kiriban Request
        In general, requests cost nothing but patience on the part of the requestee, and that's fine. Kiribans require some effort as it is a game you have to win. Either way, patience is required. When an artist puts their heart and soul into a request, that means they really care, even if they are not receiving any payment out of it. This picture is no exception. Indeed, this piece was worth the wait. 


[Commission] Reimu by Emma-Drawing - Commission
        Taking center stage is this beauty. This is the most expensive commission I have ever requested to date and let me tell you it was well worth every cent and then some. I had this commission idea in my head for a long time, but I waited even longer just to find the right artist for the job. Emma was that artist and I can never be thankful enough for her. This was the final piece to complete my art wall.


Iris by Flamingdreamfest - Request
        A special painting by an even more special person! The Iris is my favorite flower and the beautiful girl in this picture is a perfect representation of the beauty in that flower. A wonderful job by the artist, who is a very special friend of mine!


Ella (Request) by Galsein - Request
        Yet another OC from yet another story! Ella fits the description of the ideal girl. I was very excited when Galsein opened requests for this. The girls that Galsien draws perfectly fit the character that Ella needed to come to life. The generosity that Glasein showed in accepting this request could not be thanked for enough!


Girl and Boy with Umbrella by Elsewhat (former deviant) - Music/Art Trade
        Elsewhat was the first artist I ever received a commission of any kind from; in fact, I did several trades with her. Though no longer a DeviantArt, she did have some great stuff. I miss her art. Given the works she has done for me, she deserved to have one on my wall. And this one was the best and most touching to me.


Alice and Cheshire by  T-Apostate - Kiriban Request
        Who doesn't love Alice in Wonderland? A gem of a video game is Alice Madness Returns; and a gem of a drawing was this request here. Indeed, this request surpassed my expectations! Everything from the gritty gory Alice and Cheshire to the dank atmosphere of fog and mushrooms fits the spirit of Alice Madness Returns. Loved this one so much, it had to go on the wall!


Raven's Treasure by  MeredithDillman - Paid Print
        Besides my great love for ravens and crows, this  panting meant a lot to me as it was the inspiration for an original character of mine. Though not a commission, I could not resist getting a 11x14 print of this beautiful painting when the artist put it on a sale. 


The Tales of Lord Raven by DasFarbspiel - Commission
        My fascination with ravens and crows knows no bounds. It is even more fascinating when you find an artist who specializes in fowl artwork! I always wanted to have my OC represented in animal form and I got my wish. Not only that, the artist sent me the watercolor painting. Now I must guard it with my life, for there is no other copy! Quite a different experience from digital art, which lasts forever...unless your computer crashes. This is one I will cherish.
