WTB Commission 400k! Mini-contest!

And Sanra is doing a really poor job standing up, looking at her legs she's definitely about to fall over :x (or perhaps it's just the famous "Illusion of Imbalance" skill) There is a perfectly reasonable explanation for th-

*runs far away*

Question: In a perfect world, what color would you like her eyes to be?

Dark Brown like they are now? Light Brown? Hazel? Blue, green, etc? Mixtures of any of those? It's not easy to see, but I think her eye colour is supposed to be light blue.

Get it?
Sry for my lame humor! Enjoy! :laugh: The first one actually made me laugh out loud. That one was really good. The 2nd one was a good idea but you could have been a little bit more creative to really spice up the punchline. The third one was quite good as well.

It's not easy to see, but I think her eye colour is supposed to be light blue. Hazel Brown actually, I think..

Here looky:



Thats her actual eye zoomed in. The closest color I think it appears to would be Hazel Brown:

I just tried to make the highest quality screenshots I could of her eyes, and here's what I came up with:


The actual colour seems to be very faint. From what I can tell, it seems to have a subtle tint of blue.

I think the picture you linked to is from an area with heavy lighting, which made the colour of the eyes slightly different.

Ohh, nice idea !
Some are great pictures contest.
I'll try to make one too NOOOOO Zavi is in the conetest.. I got no chance of winning now...
NOooooo


well.. atleast there are still 10th place....

I think the picture you linked to is from an area with heavy lighting, which made the colour of the eyes slightly different. The eyes only have the blue hue in an environment which is purple/blue, as you can even see by her skin's hue. (Which is a very unatural color for skin) Eyes are very glossy, and therefore will naturally reflect the color of the sky or other large surrounding bodies - gw doesn't quite have the ability to completely render high poly high texture changes like that in the game, cause honestly it'd crash our computers trying to render all of that in real-time, so they just change the texture itself to match the given environment per each instance (portal-zone), thats how you will get the slight variations in color. For the most part though, her eyes are actually as I said before Hazel-Brown. Hazel, to me is a color that looks a lot like green but it is actually a dark shade of yellow and brown being a dark shade of orange. I actually took some screenshots for you, so you can see the actual colors that are in the eyes.



Each pair (left, right) are one set of eyes from different lightings.

Oh, by the way.. I'm not actually going to partake in this. I was thinking about it, just for fun.. But then with a little more thought into it: I don't play gw anymore so the contest prize would be worthless, so that'd leave having fun doing it. Well, at that point I realized that I don't really like her outfits she has, the colors they are or even her face, skin tone or hair. So it really wouldn't be too fun for me to do. (Of course no offense torwards your character or yourself.)

I did have a decent idea though, if anyone wants to use it.. Your Mesmer wearing the full Fissure (Which you've opted not to get.), but you've decided to get a picture of your Mesmer instead. So, like in the old times if you got a picture of yourself in something, it would be thought in the future that you actually had it. I was just thinking something along the lines of "For the Fissure you couldn't have." In one of the classic thinking poses, if that makes any sense.

Anyways, I wouldn't have time to do it regardless of the above reasons. A little over a week for something like that would be hard, but ah.. With my life right now, it'd be impossible.

I'd actually suggest changing the gold ammounts for winners though. I'd do it something more like this..

1st - 300k
2nd - 150k
3rd -50k
4th - 8k
5th - 2k

But eh.. I'd actually not give out any prizes if you wern't honestly satisfied with the art that was done. Maybe extend the contest if something like that arises, since I don't suppose it really matters seeing as to how you arn't saving for Nightfall, have nothing to spend it on anyways and theres a lot of time to blow before the release of that.

(lots of text and pictures!) Okay okay okay, Hazel Brown it is! I still would like to think it's blue-ish, but I won't argue your claims of the real colour.

I don't want to change the contest prizes to make the grand prize larger. That would just make me feel bad for the other winners who also deserve a moderate amount of gold.

If I could be given more time, I'd definately come up with at least a b&w version. I just found out about this not too long ago and I know I could turn out something killer. I just haven't had the time. Well, if the other people entering the contest doesn't mind, I could extend the end date for the contest.

Depends on what you mean with "more time" though. If you mean one week or so, that's not bad. If you mean a month, then that's more bad.
