mkay, you get the idea, look at the art, say in your post what you are talking about, and comment away!

please be respectful, the artists do this in their spare time, and they work on them. Be constructive or just let them know how good they are  

they really are!

and monala, and melly!

so, my first comment;

Rizin has added some of the older pieces that are gone!
and they all look great, so check em out!
one that i just cant forget is that peeg, the face on that is amazing!

its all soo good

ok, we all know and love the fanart project  
well, its gone!!!!

i know right?

well now its back, oh yes. Same deal everyone, three threads, one for art, one for requests, and the final for commenting!

This thread will be the art. /me points to the title

im not sure why this project left us, but its so fantastic and of course thanks to moogie, xythe, karyuu, cyl all of you great artists, and of course the entire community.

Some rules;

requesters, this is for fanart of your character, please try to give a good amount of detail, including equipment, clothes face details, etc. Try to give some sort of form to the requests, i.e.

name:

facial traits:

equipment:
etc.

make it read-able

for the artists;
you guys are sooo cool. Just make sure to sign the final work, and say who the art is of, an option is to quote the description.

commenters;
be constructive and not rude please. only comment in the comment thread.

I realize this isnt a hugely structured post, but we all know the idea, weve seen the threads, and weve posted in em. We all have common sense, i just really want to get this project up and running again.

so go! make some requests, draw some art, and comment!
...

no really, go now and do one of those three things!  


Quote from moogie on the original project,


The Lowdown:

I\'m posting this to see if anyone will join me in what I call the \"Fan-Fanart Project\". Basically, anyone who would like to see their character drawn by someone else will post a message below, giving a description of their character and/or links to pictures of it (if any). Then any artists who reads this thread can come along and pick a character to draw as fan-fanart, and post the resulting portrait below.

The point of this is to see how other people perceive your character, and to provide those who cannot draw with a character portrait that they can show on their bio, guildsite, etc.



To Artists:

Artists attempting a character portrait should sign their name or symbol somewhere on the final piece. They should also not say they\'re going to draw a portrait unless they intend on finishing it to some degree- whether that be just lineart or a fully coloured sketch. Artists arn\'t getting any kind of payment for drawing characters- except, perhaps, the client\'s gratitude.  Keep in mind that it\'s just an act of goodwill and fun, so you don\'t have to work your arms off to make it perfect (but nobody\'s stopping you if that\'s what you wish  ).

Artists are also allowed to express their interest in having their character drawn by someone else. So, if you like, post a reply below with your character information, aswell as telling us who you\'re going to be drawing yourself.



To Clients:

People having their characters drawn for them should not try to steal the artwork or claim it to be their own. By expressing your interest here, you state that you have read and agreed to these terms; stealing artwork is a personal insult and a crime!

When describing your character, make sure you include all details. For example, if your character is a male Ylian, does he have a moustache or a beard? Bald, short hair, or Aragorn-style? What does he wear? Does he have any trinkets or jewerly? Tattoos? Scars? Etc. Just telling us you have a \"male Ylian\" will not do!



So that\'s about it as far as rules and explainations go. I hope everything is clear, but feel free to ask any questions. Above all, have fun with this, don\'t forget your pleases and thank-yous, and be grateful if someone decides to draw you!

so there, is the original write up for this, as i suck   , i added that so you all have a better write up of whats going on.  

Ranking system:

Trainee- The trainee is the rank of new members, these are members in training and should learn all they can from their seniors. [The newcomer, all new members are automatically set to trainee. The job of the trainee is primarily training and recruiting. To recruit, however, the trainees must refer players to people with higher ranks. This is the default class and therefore has no requirements.]

Squire- The ones who have proven themselves, but havent finished their training yet. [The most common rank, given only to members who have proved themselves to be useful in some way to the guild. This rank requires that the members have proven themselves to be useful to the guild, and loyal members. The requirement is 10gp. The person must also be passed over by a Leader.]

Soldier- The soldier is the soldier rank, or grunt rank. [The first of the progression ranks, the member has to continue to assist the guild, but must also have proven themselves as capable. Requirements are 25 gp, and at least 10 total levels in combat skills, jobs, or the ways. Stats must also total 400+.]

Artisan- These are the ones who specialize in a certain job or skill. [This is the jobs rank, more specifically for crafters and smelters. However any craft profession falls into this group. The requirements are 60gp and at least 45 levels in crafts.]

White Knight- These are important assets to the guild. They are the fighters. They fight the wars and preform missions.  [This is a specialized rank for the elite fighters. They compose two groups: Defensive and Offensive. The requirements are 75gp, and at least 60 levels in combat. Mages may count levels in the ways as levels in combat. There is a rank between this and the Leaders. Those are the Beacons, there are never more than 7, and it is they who are the elite. Beacons must be appointed by a Leader.]

Vice Captain - These are the second in commands of their squads. They can invite and remove in their squad.

Captain - These are the leaders and founders of the guild. These are the leaders of their individual squads. They have full powers over their squad and some over the rest of the guild. [Leaders of the guild. The squad captains use this rank. This rank is appointed.]

Beacons - The most elite fighters, and personal bodyguards of the Captain-Commander. [This rank is earned by trial in combat.]

Arch - The leader.

Complete Hierarchy:
trainee
squire
soldier
artisan
white knight
vice-captain
Captains
Beacons
Arch [GL]



GP system:
recruiting gets someone 1 GP, when the recruit ranks to Squire, the recruiter gets 4 additional GP

donations [increments of 5k only]:
amount - GP
first donation [5k] - 1

25k - 1

50k - 2

75 - 2

100 - 2

each additional 100k - 3

limit is at 1.5 mil right now

other ways:
helping, at a Leaders's discretion

missions, at a leader's discretion based on the mission

joining the forums gets you one gp [no doubling].

*Important, Until someone reached 25 gp, their gp is doubled. Rather all gp earned until the 50 gp mark is doubled. This system was made by myself, with the help of a newer member, and we all agree it has a nice balance, and helps lower ranks advance more quickly.

Career:
 Now our ultimate goal is the safety of yliakum, we can still be hired as a private army, or for bodyguard missions. I realize this isnt the most original goal, but we arent a dormant guild. We are active and you will see us around.

History/goal:
In the last few years before Laanx's return, a few high-ranking politicians met together to discuss the situation in Hydlaa. With all the new people pouring into the city, and with the rumours of Laanx's return, they decided they needed some order, they needed a group with both economic power and raw force. They left that day pleased with their decision, they had created the Black Leaderorps. They hired one experienced adventurer as their commander-in-chief, and set up three commanders below him. These were in charge of the recruiting for the group, the economics of the group, and the police faction. Unfortunately, the politicians decided that the Leaderorps was becoming too powerful, and decided to put an end to it. They used their power to hire assassins to slowly kill off the guild, and they eradicted all but the commander-in-chief. He was sorely wounded and was almost dead when his family found him. They took care of him but he died of complications of his wounds three weeks later. 100 years later his great-grandson Kiou found a box with a letter from the original commander. The box contained a opal-encrusted longsword and a letter. The letter stated that he had wished for someone in his family to continue the legacy. Kiou decided he would continue the Black Leaderorps and created the guild.

Recently Kyonum has changed his ways, no longer an assassin, kyonum and his guild are now offering services in protection, and have their own agenda to protect yliakum. And Kyonum has changed his guild to accommodate his new beliefs. Ages ago this group held amazing power, and now with the beacons and Leaders Kyonum is going to return us to that kind of power.

Goal:
Recently Kyonum has changed his ways, no longer an assassin, kyonum and his guild are now offering services in protection, and have their own agenda to protect yliakum. We are training and recruiting the next generation, including the new beacons and Leaders.

*NOTES*
We are an rp guild, and an ingame guild. We do both!
We need to update our website and forums, but the people who are in charge of those seem to be missing...
When someone reaches the epitome of their class, they become a master *rank*. E.G. when an artisan maxes his crafting he becomes a Master Artisan.

We now operate in a squad system, we have as many squads as necessary, with as many captains as necessary.
Squad #1
captain - Madiye
vice captain - Thyor

Sqaud #2
captain - Vayl
vice captain - un-assigned

We are still working on our various systems, but youll see us rping in the city for sure!
