Generally that's in the area of $40-60 per character in an illustration, I am unsure about additional background, for a decent artist. And that's pretty darn cheap!<br><br>As well, the groups should be relatively small - no more than six to eight characters. Otherwise they get so crowded or (as Matt linked) so small that the individuals can barely be identified in the mob.<br>Matt's idea of themes is also a very good one; Mages, Clergy, Nobles, Crafters, ect.<br><br>I'd be willing to add to the pot for such works if we can agree on a worthy artist (and that, my friends, will be the absolute MOST difficult part of the whole thing!).<br><div><span><br></span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div style="font-family: bookman old style, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> On Sunday, August 24, 2014 10:24 PM, AmigaDragon <ejolson@wiktel.com> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv0790135815"><title>Re: [Mkguild] Group picture</title> <div> <span style="font-family:'Courier New';font-size:12pt;">Hello MKGuild,<br> <br> Realism generally (I think) ramps up the price more. While I personally wouldn't pick Virmir's style for this (though I like what he does), I think Ralph's style is an acceptable level of cartoonishness (I can also ask him about higher realism). We can discuss the various artists' style vs. price choices more while we're deciding who gets represented (and refining some of their descriptions).<br> <br> <br> Saturday, August 23, 2014, 12:10:58 AM, Nathan wrote:<br> <br> </span><table> <tbody><tr> <td bgcolor="#0000ff" width="2"><br> </td> <td width="755"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';font-size:12pt;">It may just be me, but I always thought that MK was more suited for realism/stylized realism in art.
