cool!
I liked that red Dragon-style warrior in your first post - that armor really outshines the ing. dragon armor and the helmet is sooo much better

Very nice work!!! I would like to get on line for a commission, the 15K one with color.
These are 3 of my characters. Your choice if you want to do 1, 2 or all 3. Whatever you decide, I will pay for accordingly.
This is my ranger and Buffalo Wings, my pet.

Invertation, your commission is almost done. You can expect it sometime tomorrow.
Invertation
Mnnk. Ill be waiting =P
jademonkeyx88
All done with Invertation's warrior.
jademonkeyx88
Sorry for the lack of updates, been a bit sidetracked the last few days. Lynxius, I'll try to have your commission done soon, just wanted everyone who's waiting to know that I'm not dead.
Lynxius
Its no problem.
So am i still getting my comission on this lifetime??
Just kidding, take your time, as long as its a good comission il be happy to wait.

Lynxius's commission is finished. I tried making her look excited like you wanted, but I'm not sure how much I like it. I may go back and completely redo it. Anyway, I hope you like what I have for now.
Mistical miss
You drew the hair first before the right eye? Good work on the pose! Proportions and all, the face is just not that good 
. (Ofcourse still better than mine but hey, I can criticize can't I ^^)
And as for the warrior (forgot to respond to that one), her right arm (for her) looks a bit odd, the hand is now on her belly while it should be on her side I think? (thats more usual..) Nice work on details as usual though
Keep it up

Lynxius
You managed to capture the detail on the armour pretty well (some minor things like the squares in her pants could be a brighter yellow though).
Hmm, her hair could be a bit darker, her buns a bit larger, and maybe a different face expression, maybe like this one: ^.^ (if that makes any sense lol sorry i cant be any clearer).
If you feel like completelly redoing it, i dont mind paying a litle bonus. (maybe a drawing of her jumping in happyness =D ?)
Happy drawing!

jademonkeyx88
Yeah, I think I'm definitely gonna redo it. Really not too satisfied with it at all. Thanks for all the advice though, and those pictures will help a lot. I'll give it another shot and see what I can do.
jademonkeyx88
Lots of end of semester projects that need doing. Still working on redoing Lynxius's commission, but the pace is gonna be slow until school ends for me and all this stuff is out of the way.
Messy
Schoolwork comes first!!! 
<--teacher
take your time, don't feel pressured, we are patient and understand that real life goes first. Good to hear from you
take care

Yes yes. Schoolwork is quite important. Hell, if my projects come out good enough maybe I'll even show them to you guys.
jademonkeyx88
Whew, finished the drawing. Much more satisfied with this one.
I hope she looks excited enough this time.
Colors should come soon. Still up to my ears in schoolwork though.

Lynxius
Good job!
I like it!
Dont forget about the yellow corrections i mentioned in an earlier post.
She looks really funny ^^
GL with projects!
EDIT: If you can put an Aura around her whole body like shes casting a spell it would be nice!!! A golden aura. 8D
But if you feel it spoils the picture then dont, its up to you
PS: I love it!

Hey, jade, are you taking commisions? I'd be interested in one if you are. Thanks.
Heavy Chaos Master
Wow these pics are soo cool, might try saving up for one, skint at the moment, just bought 15lukon for my necro and 15k primeval dyed black for my ranger. Good job, keep it up
jademonkeyx88
The long wait is over! Finally finished lynxius's commission, and it's about damn time.
Wasn't sure how well the aura would work out, so I did it both ways. Hope you like it.
Just to let anyone who's interested know, after I finish the set of commissions that I'm working on now, I'm thinking of putting up a new thread and start doing line drawings fully colored in Photoshop. They'll be more expensive but I'm not sure how much more yet, I'll try to keep it on the lower end to keep it affordable. I'll still be glad to do pen drawings instead for those who can't/don't want to afford a full photoshopped piece.

Finished the drawing of eightyfour-onesevenfive's ranger.
Will have colors soon.

Sweet bow her face is a bit awkward though and her right breast is too high I think. (thats right for the viewer) I like the pose though and the shading

jademonkeyx88
Not sure what you see wrong with the face, it looks fine to me. But then again I could just be biased since it's my work. The breast was WAY too high before I lowered it, although it's pretty evident where I fixed it. That's just the weakness or working in pen I guess.
Anyhow, here is the finished piece. Tried to get slightly more interesting on the background and give it a bit of texture. Hope you like.
Also figured I would show my entries for the design a weapon contest. They didn't win, but god would I have loved to wield a giant claw...

Whoa...
It's been a while since I checked out this thread. Just wanted to pipe in and say it's looking great!
I'm no artist, but I think you've come a long way since the OP. You started off with a more sterile (although cool) approach, like the first necromancer you posted. What I mean is, it seems like the earlier pieces were more like simple outlines pimped out after they were scanned into the machine.
These newer ones show all the pen scratches and everything, which makes them a lot more organic and interesting to look at. Especially combined with a textured background, they're more satisfying to visually explore.
I think this ranger is one of the best pieces yet. It has the background and the organic pen marks, which is nice. But what I really like is that it's a little more stylized than the others. I love the 'imperfections' pointed out by Mistical Miss. Something about the ranger and her pose/dimensions looks slightly unrealistic (more than your other drawings), and I think that's a great thing. I took one art history course, so I'm a very unqualified art critic. Keeping that in mind, your style in this most recent one reminds me of Harlem Renaissance 'africanism'/'primitivism' and particularly Aaron Douglas (and no... it's not just because the Ranger is black, haha).
I can't find a striking example of his work right now (he did a lot of print-type pieces that remind me of your ranger). Check out his 'Aspects of Negro Life' murals for an idea of his style if you aren't familiar with him.

I like it! There's nothing wrong with her face to me, she does look a little bit "spaced out" on the non-colored version, though.
Mistical miss
Oh on the coloured version the face looks much better ^^
jademonkeyx88
Hm, maybe it was just the eyes that were making it look wierd then. I changed the positioning of the pupils to be looking at the viewer when I colored it. Strange how much of a difference things like that can make.
Messy
Very very nice job!!! I really like your unique style, the pen strokes... and yes it looked much better in color. I am no art critic either, but I can tell how you are getting better and better
Keep up the great work!!!
Keep up the great work!!!

Liking your recent output. Keep it up.
jademonkeyx88
Well it's about damn time I finished something. Here's Don't Mess With Me's ritualist.
Invertation
Blue eyes look a bit strange, but I sppose it is with theme. Looking good.
Messy
Thank you very much!!! It looks great!! I really like it. you are definitely improving and improving!!
I was looking at the eyes after Invertation's comment, and after looking and looking I realized that it just doesn't have any white on the eye ball, I guess that's what makes it look so intense.
I will look for you in game for payment.
