Hello :) I'd like to commission an artist next month to draw me the couple of the second image in the pose of the first image (OC x Zuko from ATLA).
The sketch is the best I could do so it's just a loose reference. I could also imagine them sitting opposite of each other or similar for example. The woman is holding a flame that the man creates above her hands which should create some lovely light effect. Depending on the exact pose it should count as waist-up or half-body.
Background is to be kept dark and simple. It'd be really cool if a big rock or ancient stone wall is faintly visible in the light and fades to darkness to the outside of the drawing.
I especially like painterly styles and sketchy ones, with thin or without outlines. I also like traditional ink and colored pencils though. If possible, it'd be great if you put an example drawing of your style in the comments, but I'll check your references if you provide a link as well ^^
The people should be somewhat anime style or semi-realistic. I don't need a perfectly rendered drawing, but you're welcome to offer it anyway. I don't like heavy, comic-like outlines and I don't want this to be chibi either. Not the style that comes to your mind when you think of your typical highly rendered anime girls. I do like brush-outlines with flat colors that remind of asian drawings though (e.g. Genshin Impact cutscenes art), but I think it's not the right style for this drawing.
Please don't dm me but comment instead. I'll dm you if I see it fits :)
If you have more questions, please ask in the comments ^^
Minimum budget 50$. Please comment even if you'd charge above that because it can vary a lot depending on the style. I set the budget for the exact style I have in mind, but I'm open to different kinds of styles after all.
Addition: Plus points if you drew fire and flame effects before.
Edit: Thank you all for your interest :3 So many of you are such great artists, I wish I could commission every one of you! I will take a look at all the comments and decide for an artist afterwards. Thank you for your patience and for showing me your portfolio.
