Not EXACTLY as advertised...
...but here is the scoop on charcter portraits. I'll try to keep it brief.
Due to several factors beyond my control (I just started a new job and my free time has unexpectedly been cut in half; pricing for commissions proved WAY too difficult - I could not manage to get the cost below $80-90 and still be able to afford to operate!) I have scrapped the original plan of opening a Hero Portrait Studio. At least for now.
That said, I am grateful to my LJ peeps for being the coolest MMORPG Comm around, so my brilliant and lovely RL & InGame companion - @VenusPrima (her 'controller w/ pet' portrait is below) - helped me come to a compromise.
