Ta da! I'm back and therefore my design services are back. For those unaware this means I come up with designs for you! Here is what I will currently do:

Character descriptions
Room designs
All tailoring designs
All furniture designs
All jewelry designs
Baking and short cooking designs

Obviously I don't have all these tradeskills, these will essentially be me giving you the design for you to submit by whatever means and do with what you will.

Prices are dependent on the complexity of the item and well to be honest whether I'm in a giving mood or not tongue.gif

Character description :
CODE
She is a fiendish master viscanti and flaunts many features of noble blood. Her skin is the palest of hues, almost as white as snow with very little imperfections. Long curls of ebony cascade down her back to just above her hip line, often giving off a green glare in bright lighting. These tresses have been pulled back from her face and pinned upon the crown of her head with an elaborate fastener, a silver imp carrying a spear which pins the hair in place. Erupting from this midnight mane are two sets of ivory horns, curving in unison and mimicking that of a ram. The set in the forefront has grown in a twist and is marbled with black veins while the set just behind it is thicker, about an inch in diameter, and a pure bone color. The very tips of her horns come to hover above her temples, starkly contrasting against the thick band of charcoal that has been painted across her face from just above the brow down to just below the middle of pronounced cheekbones and spanning from ear to ear. Hiding within this stripe are two solid black eyes, with no difference betwixt sclera and iris, which are protected by thick ebony lashes and set beneath two very well-kept brows. Pouty lips rest beneath a softly rounded nose and have been painted a flat crimson, the only shine being blood or saliva. Her form has been tempered by years of travel, long and lean in muscle. Her robes have been modified with a slit cut from wrist to elbow allowing the forearm to be displayed when raised. When shown, an elaborate display of flesh can be seen. Her forearms have been splayed open from just below the wrist to just before the elbow - held open by dozens of tiny golden hooks which have been laced with blood red ribbon over the backside of the limb, ending in a bow near the elbow. The random twitching of flesh sends a chime into the air from small bells that have been attached to each hook, giving an auditory reminder of pain.


Room descriptions:
CODE
The n'Rotri ballroom.
Wide planks of beautiful mahogany have been buffed to a glorious shine and nailed into place in a diagonal pattern from each of the four corners of this long rectangular ballroom. As the wood converges upon the center of the room, a pale pine interrupts the darkness to create a large star. The walls have been painted blood red, reaching upward for many feet before blending into the domed ceiling which has been painted with an elaborate scene of war. By the colour of the atmosphere above the clash of warriors, the battle seems to be taking place upon Nil.


Tailoring designs :
CODE
Dropped:
In a puddle of red, a toga lies here forgotten.
Examined:
Dyed a deep red, almost as if drenched in blood, this toga has been cut to hug the female form. The soft fabric drapes from the right shoulder to wrap around the wearer's body, leaving only enough room to move comfortably. The garment reaches down to the calves on the left side and hangs just above the knee on the right, creating a pleasing asymmetrical effect. A broad silk ribbon has been sewn into the top and bottom hems and has been dyed a brilliant gold colour. Over the shoulder this ribbon separates from the excess fabric and splits into four smaller ribbons, the garments only decoration.


Dropped:
A pair of blood red sandals lies here, silk ribbons scattered upon the ground.
Examined:
These simple sandals have been crafted from silk ribbons and leather. Strips of leather have been hardened to make the soles of these shoes, protecting the wearer's feet from harsher paths. Silk ribbons have been dyed the colour of blood and attached to the leather soles to criss-cross over the wearer's foot. Two feet of extra ribbon has been left at the heel of these sandals to be wrapped around the wearer's legs.


Furniture designs:
CODE
Dropped:
A throne sits here, resembling a massive archdemon.
Examined:
Crouched upon a short pillar, this massive archdemon has been carved of black marble with a heavy emphasis on detail. Large wings sprout from the back of the throne, each vein, bone, and cut visible. Its body arches from barbed tail to vicious maw, creating a cavity within which a single person could fit. A luxurious black velvet pillow has been sunken into the top of the pillar betwixt the demon’s massive claws to provide a comfortable seat.


Jewelry designs:
CODE
Dropped:
A platinum collar lies on the ground, its fur lining gathering dust.
Examined:
At least two inches wide and several millimeters thick, this platinum band has been tooled into a collar. One edge of the band has a slit cut from it which slips over the short U-shaped loop that has been melded to the other end, allowing for a lock to be attached ensuring the collar can not be removed. The interior of the collar has been lined with thick white fur, soft to the touch and flawless in cut.


Cooking designs:
CODE
Dropped:
A slice of pumpkin pie sits discarded on the ground.
Consumed:
Your fork easily slides into the piece of pie to cut off a mouthful. The rich pumpkin filling melts away against the crisp crust, allowing you to savor the sweetness and hint of exotic spice. You continue to eat the pie, forkful by forkful, till it is unfortunately gone.
Examined:
A thick slice of pumpkin pie rests on a simple plate, a fork nestled up against the dark orange filling. The crust is thin and has taken a golden brown hue from baking, pale in comparison to the brown hue that covers the top of the slice.

Hah, typo in the throne dropped (her should be here.)

If you are willing to provide at least two designs a year, (private!) I can hire you to be trademaster for the Feasts cartel. 1k per recipe(plus 5k for the submission costs.)

You also must be willing to provide unorthodox recipes. Not simple, everyday things. Take a look at the website to see examples of current recipes (you are already in the cartel though, I believe, you should be aware of the oddities of Feasts recipes.) I can give you ideas on what to design for as well.
