Yesterday , as some of you might remember, several Art Works of my guildmate "GrimDrake" were posted on the Drawing section here , in basilmarket:
1/His Self Portrait : link
2/My character : link
3/LucklessFire's drawing: link
4/FoxClad's drawing : link
5/NukeTheWorld's drawing : link
6/Miracle Drawing : link
7/Keldia's Drawing (the 1st drawing of GrimDrake ever made to public) : link
8/ClericAndy's Drawing : link
Surprisingly , I got many mails from basiliers asking me to get their drawings done and just to clear it up : I'm not the one drawing , it's GrimDrake!
On topic, I talked to GrimDrake about these demands and he stated that he will only be taking demands from EMS players only for a price of 750k mesos per drawing (as he for the present time ,lacks lots of funding) . So if you are an EMS player willing to pay to get a drawing of your character as the ones linked before, Contact me in here or just Try contacting me InGame. Peace-

Drawing GMS players could be possible: I discussed this matter with GrimDrake along with our guild leader Keldia and we brought up the possibility of drawing GMS players . The way of paying would be in real money , we are still discussing this further in order to ensure a conviniant way that would benefit both the buyer and us.

I just like the style.

And I've actually not seen that many people who are taking requests.

i cant deny yea the style is great but do you really think (this is for gms players) paying a few dollars of your own cash for a lil online drawing that you cant get the best out of for more than a few minutes isnt worth it.

erm... if you didn't see, I'm from EMS, so I'm not going to pay dollars, but mesos...
and that's absolutely worth it!

(and for the gms players: yes, taking money for drawing something migth sound crazy, but think about it - it takes quite a while to draw something like that. Would you want to give away all of your free time to draw pictures for other people, and get nothing than a thank you? That's perfectly fine if you do one or two pictures, but not if there are so many people who would request a drawing. See it this way: if you or you parents would hire someone to clean your garden, or something like that, you would pay too, wouldn't you? This is nothing else. You request a job to be done, and you pay for it.)

Honestly, if he starts an account in GMS, he would be VERY funded if he did this.

If it was a drawing you can hang up in your room or something, it'd be something to think about. But seriously, do you think it is a good idea to pay for a drawing of your character in a 2d mmorpg? You can't even brag about it or tell anyone that theres a great drawing of you, except to the people who play the same game.If it was a real life drawing or something i am sure even I would pay money for it.

IMO GrimDrake's drawings are just doodles that are edited in photoshop to look better. And he wants money for drawings. there are way better artists then him on basil that take requests for free."


I don't know, I think if he wants some pocket change for his work that's fine. He's not charging exorbitant amounts of money at all, and his drawings make pretty cool little souvenirs.

That said, has he done any more recently?

He has the talent, but why should he draw maplers for free, when he can earn money on it. He uses his own time to do it, so I think it's fair that he get paid. If he did it for free, he would have millions of request of who to draw, and a lot would complain about why he draws someone else than him.

not really, although I may get a lot of requests everyone knows that I can't draw every single on of them and they respect my decision to who I draw and enjoys my art.

If I wanted to make some mesos for my art I could've done so a long time ago. But nobody should run before they walk.
