Hey all!

I have recently started to explore my artisitic side again - but learning to script for months was fun nonetheless :)

I am partnering with someone to open a very creative photo studio and I wanted to get some folks to stop by for some FREE, yes FREE portrait work to kick off my portfolio. I did my first quick sitting this evening and I wanted to post an image and get some feedback. I have no idea if this is the right forum - it's a little multi-topic'd.

EDIT : I am also hoping to do additional artwork portraits for those interested - I have added a new file here to show you just one example my work

So - have a look, see if you like it - and if you'd like to see something similar done for you - I am also going to do some painting work based on the images i take inworld.

If you think you'd like to become part of my portfolio before i begin to charge for services, I'd be happy to set up a time and do some work with you. You'll get full copy privs to any work i produce for you, and I will reserve the right to use it in my portfolio.

thanks for taking the time !

For those of you who didn't know - the portraits are of Changeling Fate, I didn't want to reveal her name until she piped up :)

Cheers,

hehe - seems a lot of people getting interested - I will be putting up a shceulder object below the studio shortly - I will post the co-ordinates shortly - you can go there to see the free times i have and click a link to book a session - a small fee ($10?) will be charged to avoid people griefing the machine - You'll get this fee back after the sitting :)

thanks for all the positive response - no one has anything bad to say ? Just wouldn't be a forum without someone attacking me :) (i am kidding - leave me be)

Trent.

added a painting to the original post - I hope to do some artistic painting style work on the portraits too for those who are interested in going this route. There is a lot more time involved with this process - but it can produce some very interesting and exciting results.

The example here is really classical, but I can achieve much more abstract results for those interested in seeing something a little more 'out-there' :) like me :)

thanks again for taking the time to look!

To establish my portfolio I am doing some free work in the next few weeks.

I have put up a booking board in Callisto (246,160) - I'll include a picture of what it looks like in this post. In the interests of being fair - it's first come first serve booking board. Times displayed are all PST (game time)

I really look forward to meeting some of you and doing this work for you. you get to keep all the atwork , and I reserve rights to use it as my portfolio.

thanks!

the board looks like THIS - Can't miss it.

That's great! Do you do passport photos too?

(Hehehe! That question always pisses off photographers)

Sure! Price is the same though :) you might just be better off going to BLACKS.

seems funny someone would want to piss me off after i did some free work for folks, but hey, I hope you liked them anyways Bob. Lemme know if you ever need some work done.

And you didn't piss me off -just confused me a little...
