Faroresama's Commissions thread

Hey all, I was recently commissioned by Wes to do 4 full body portraits so I thought it would be a good idea to get a forum account so I can post the sketches here for approval and get feedback and whatnot. ^^

So I've read as much as I can about the characters I'll be drawing, but if I make a mistake about something don't hesitate to correct me!

I'll post the commissions I've been assigned and any questions/thoughts I have about them that anyone can answer.

Right now my commissions are:
Aripael Goriass--Should I draw in him in Senator clothing or the uniform for the Navy? Or does it matter?
Matthew Lionheart--I just can NOT find an illustration of a flash patch that goes on his uniform hat! Please help ;_;
Elysian Patrician for CCG--Based on a suggestion Wes showed me from another user, I'll probably do a female Paragon. Thoughts?
Elysian Plebian for CCG--Based on the same suggestion, this will probably be a male Plebian Navy soldier. Any extra info on their uniforms would be very helpful.

The first sketch I'll probably do is the Patrician since it's a little more experimental than the others, so I won't have to worry about messing up as much from the get-go ^^;

Hollow bones, of course.
 
I'm about halfway done with the coloring on her; I couldn't work on it yesterday because I was stuck in bed all day sick. :(

Here is the coloring of the Paragon, finished except for a few touch-ups that I will do if all the main stuff looks OK first. This is a screenshot and is not 100% magnification.
 
I'm thoroughly impressed, it looks great, even when it's not in the right resolution.

EDIT: I just realized, with that magnification, it looks like a painting.
 
After seeing this, I imagine Elysian ships must look like beautiful churches inside, with paintings and statues and columns and stained glass. ^_^

That might be a bit too much on a warship.

"Sir! Incoming!"
*shatter*
"Ugh. That's the third time this week!"
 
So here she is, finished! I changed her left hand and a few other things that didn't look right.

This is the smaller .jpg version. I recall reading somewhere that you want me to send you, Wes, the high-quality .png (i didn't use photoshop so i don't have a .psd) but I can't find that statement anymore so please tell me where to send it @_@
 
Thanks! Let em know when you want payment.

EDIT: for the next one, lol
