Seems like this is way too good of a deal to pass up! With such talented pieces being created I don't see how anyone could resist.

I do remember seeing that you weren't incredibly fond of drawing Necros, so should you not be up to the task it's more than alright. But if it's manageable and the workload hasn't burdened you down too much by now, would you be willing to draw mine as well?







Thank you so much and if there's a problem with anything, or something I can do to expedite the process, just let me know!

Yay!!! my artistic sense is back!!!

ahem..


k... anyway... here is step by step of how i drew Jimmyboveto's character.





first i outline the character, basically how i want it to look like with light pencil. in this case 4H.

image was edited with photoshop so you can see.

when u do basic outline keep the lines simple, preferable using basic shapes like circle, triangle and such.



next still using the bit darker pencil. this case my favorite, HB i started to draw in. not too much details but lines that defines. in this case outlien of the armor.



no i used my trusty .5mm mechanical pencil with 2B lead and started to draw in details.

dont' be afraid because u can't draw straight line, cuz i can't either. as u can see i use chicken scratch.

CHICKEN SCRATCH IS ARTISTIC TECHNIQUE!!!

ahem anyways than i started to shade.



to shade i use my .5 mechanical pencil again. using lines to create gradient effect. on darker areas i just filled it in with the pencil, and as for larger areas that needed to be shaded in i used 2mm lead holder with 7B lead to shade

also when done shading i usually outline the hard lines with 7B again. (2mm lead is thicker than .5mm but it can be sharpened rear sharp to give thin line)

and use eraser (i also use one of those vibrating eraser, works real well.) to give highlight effect.

after that i scan it in photoshop.



than i use photoshop to rescale, crop and all that good stuff.

as you can see the scanner didn't really scan the image very well. its because i got some all-in-one printer that prints real well but scans like shit.

i have expensive scanner but its 4 ears old and it lost its color.

anyway no biggie thats what photoshop is for.

autolevel and boom. (well i still prefer manual level)

here is final product.



im not even sure this can be tutorials cuz its just how i draw. im still learnign after all.

but as fellow artist i can give u one advise.

practice

i didnt' get to draw like this over night and none of the others artist did.

i learned by doodling all through 12 years of school.

and when i get free time i keep drawing on my sketch book.

by doing so i keep finding different ways to draw, like to get different effect or to draw more effeciently.

well those became my 'technique' and those are my own.

i can share but its best to find your own.

You SO need to increase your prices Eggy... by at least 10 times. As much as I'm sure you will meet lots of lovely people who will give you large tips, I'm pretty certain that there will be those few people who say: "Draw these 4 characters in a group portrait please, and with full colour too! I'll pay lots extra". Problem is, "lots" is rather subjective, and you might end up getting paid 5k. After all, that's 1k for each character, as asked, and 1k for colour! perfectly fair! The problem is, that the image, with group composition, and colouring probably took you far more than five times as long to complete as a simple standard character sketch, and as such, probably isn't fair as far as you're concerned.

The only reason I bring all this up, is because I went through exactly the same kind of teething troubles when I first started doing my commissions here on Guru. Even if your prices were much, much higher, demand would far outstrip your supply. The Guild Wars crowd are ravenous for images of their characters, it would seem ^_^

Just go outside in a wurm and kill some stuff and you'll have 1k <.<

I won't be paying less than 10k that's for sure, I love all the drawings so far.

Wonderful artwork. The style is relatively simple, but your knack for movement and body language and basic proportion/anatomy is really a treat to watch. I get the feeling you do it pretty quickly too. /speed-envy!

I really like the sword on chaotic1ne's character. Upside down the shape reminds me of those giant crosses that fly on the screen in Castlevania during the Grand Cross item crush.
