I did.. I don't really use this style anymore, I remember it was on Photoshop CS5 and that I used Kyle's Brushes but I don't remember which..
I guess I could still pull that look but It doesn't look very pro.. I would at least Have to make a background and get some cool color contrast..

I wouldn't charge more than 30 Euro for the illu.. likely less... but I'll have to know what I'll do to know how long it will take and decide if it should be closer to 15, 20 or 30..

If you provide poses and the color palette you want me to use and I just have to redraw with a sketchy style, I think I'll just do it for free as an excuse for messing up your schedule at the end of animation phase.

here is other example of stuff I did with the same tools at around the same time and in similar style..

Awesome, I would very much like if you use the color pallet you already used in that picture.
The background just a clone of what you did above with the dead trees but as an additional change instead of the grass put some remains of wall bricks, some dead trees to come from above (it's a closed environment aka corridor) and no smoke/dust.
Characters are similar from the game, the hero has Greek Armor Lvl 1 and a torch wich emits a round light.
Also, leave somewhere place where I can write the game title "TAURONOS".
Character pose: orig05.deviantart.net/8e41/f/2… :


The problem is I need an adaptation of this image for this exact sizes:
460 x 215 , 231 x 87 , 467 x 181,616 x 353  

and if you can can you please tell me how much would cost me and how fast they can be done?
If they are good I want to use them for posters and promo picture on steam

The first value is Width and the second is height, right?

The character in front of the minotaur both of them at the center of the picture.. I feel like there wouldn't be a lot of room for the Game title if we keep that composition..

 I think we should go for something more like this (made with a mouse in 2 minutes sorry for low quality sketch):

That way there is room for the [InsertGametitle] and you can see a fierce expression on both their face (well not right now but you know what I mean..)

Another thing I wonder is why don't the adaptations all have the same ratio?
It shouldn't be too much of a problem (except that 231*87 because of how different it is.), If the composition becomes weird it will be easy to tweak them in unnoticeable ways.. generally when there is an extreme size like that 231*87, we want to have the high res original version in that ratio because it's easier to cut than to expand/add.

I have another question and this one is very important..
Will there only be small image size like those? or will there also be a bigger picture?
Because if it's all small, I don't think we should go for full body illustration.. because with such small sizes we need to scrap everything that isn't needed and I don't think their legs are that important.. more important is their arms and the confrontation in their eyes and minotaur towering above the hero to give a sense of dread..

I'll do more refined sketches at all the sizes tomorrow and we can discuss it.. should I come back to the discord? or are you fine hitting me on Deviantart?

Hey

On character poses, I really want the way I sketch them if we go for the small sized ones so people don't see hero face and no actual combat(hero only have torch depicting he just found the Minotaur)  there just minotaur being overwhelming

"why don't the adaptations all have the same ratio? "
I have no idea those are steam requirements regarding presentation art and they cannot be negotiated with, steam is a machine haha

"Will there only be small image size like those?"
Ther will be one more Page Background, details about it here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles… there is a possibility I will only need this page background and if that's the case then layout should be something like left side the minotaur and right side the character and middle all black 
 
We can discuss this tomorrow on discourd if you have time and reach to a conclusion
