(IC) Saturated in a coat of dust, sweat and grime, the busy body waltzed back into his store after a long, arduous week of bursting node after node of glorious ore in the Diadem. All there was left to do was patiently await a letter of grand gratitude from none other than Aymeric himself. This time, it was more than just about money. It was about prestige and the potential for custom that came with it. Now all there was left to do, was wash up the debris, clean up his pick and collapse into a warm bath for the foreseeable next two weeks. "Never again..." he drawled, body battered by the strain of persistent eighteen plus hour days of labor. A feat he was not soon to repeat.
(Quick post to immortalize my Saint of the Firmament title. The competition on Balmung was hard but I came in 8th! Congratulations to everyone else that competed, and I wish you all the best of luck in the future.)

(OOC) Howdy there! If anyone’s interested, I’m looking to have a commission of the above character drawn for me. I’ll pay anywhere in the region of 15USD to 30USD and I am also willing to pay gil.
I’m just looking for a basic colored portrait/bust/half body with either no background or a basic background. I can provide poses or screenshots but I love it when artists take their own liberties or add and try things, etc. Keeps it more exciting!
Edit: Thanks for the feed-back. I’ve edited the price slightly and been more specific. I’ve also found a few artists in that price range but I’m making a list first. I’ve never had one before so I’m looking forward to see it happen!

(OOC) “Khuten’kali Qestir - Retainer 03.”
This is my third retainer. I’ll be showing them off over the next few weeks. I really like coming up with ways to incorporate them into my character’s overarching story, with mini-stories and backgrounds of their own.
Kali is a debt collector for a merchant’s guild and she’s extremely shrewd in her negotiations, relying on body language alone to make her debtors submit to her every whim. Once she stares your way, you know it’s time to pay up!
