In-game portraits

An enterprising World or Warcraft player is offering up his or her "photographic" skills in-game, creating portraits of player-characters and selling them for 40 gold apiece. Affordable only to the level 60s, this comes at just the right time for when you've got all that epic (YAY! EPIX!!) gear and you want to capture that moment forever...

Gorgeous! I want one! It's a shame Orc Crystaltips is camera-crackingly ugly, although I look pretty sharp in my tuxedo outfit and shades.

Anyone know who the artist is? I'd love to see more & credit...
UPDATE:
The artist's order page is here, and prices have gone up! 80g for members, 200g for non...

(thanks Wandring_Soul!)

WAHAHA! I can forgive you for being alliance because you're a GNOME. I love gnomes. We rarely see them, you know.

Very nice work there. So you just send this person some screenshots and gold and they create this painting for you? Looks too dynamically posed to be a manipulated in game screenie.

[MonkeyBoy]

Yeah, I don't think you there are any character animations that let you pose quite like that.
And yeah! Gnomes are cute! But I think Orcs have the best dance moves :D

Yes Pixel, from what I remember you send him screenies of your character, and he then uses his skills to pose them for the 'portraits', he's done soem stunning portraits... trying to find him again at the moment...

In an entirely plug-worthy manner, if you like this sort of thing, have a penchant for comic artists and have City of Heroes/Villains characters, well, stay tuned. And make sure you're at the Brighton Comic Expo.

End plug now.
