Nathan's art thread
combatchuck
I've got some Guild Wars related art I'd like to share with you...
My monk, Adi Sankara, wearing Obsidian and Citadel Wanderer's armor:
The very first Guild Wars picture I ever drew, wishing I could afford Obsidian armor:
My losing entry into the 400K contest with the Mesmer:
A commission I did for a person on GWO:
I've got more up at http://nub.deviantart.com if anybody's interested. I'd love to hear what people think about my art!

I've actually found a way to make the backgrounds look MUCH better, I'll do a quick one up and post real quick.

ok here we go:
Rangers chest isnt turned far enough, the chest should point more towards the viewer. The monk wouldn't hold the axe so straight upwards in that position, should be bend a bit more down I think. Mesmers mask doesnt go with the eye movement make the eyes behind the mask instead of inside (though this might just be ur style) Shade the tooth of the axe to make it fit the pic The folds in the pants on ur white dyed monk seem somewhat unnatural..(the ones on left knee) The mesmers dress has two parts on the hips/legs, the upper part should give some more shade over the second at the mesmers back (hard to explain) I hope this helped!! u draw great! Martian
Amazing work, especially the first Monk. Sadly i'm not clever enough to think of any constructive critisism. i suppose i could give it a try. Er... it's not... blue enough.... a screw it, it's fine

Backgrounds like this?
I used to have a tutorial for how to do this, but I lost it. It was almost completely dependent on Gaussian Blurs I remember that much. Elthanor
Dang, mad skills, very good job
Do you take requests? combatchuck

1. Duplicate layer
2. Gaussian blur until the details disappear but the larger shapes are still visible
3. Change layer mode to "Darken" to get the outlined look
You can also change to "Screen" for higher contrast with a soft-focus look.
4. Merge layers
5. There is no step 5.

Good deal, i'll have to remember that. Neriandal Freit
By the Gods, you are talented at this stuff!
I most certainly will have to have a request in one day when you are willing, I'd be just as willing to pay big piles of gold for it Rushing Wind
Please place me next in line for a commission as soon as you start taking them. Your artwork kicks ass!!! Just let me know what you're charging once you do decide to take requests.
Thanks and keep showcasing that art! MrGuildBoi
That second monk with the axe reminds me of Kratos from God of War a little :P
