Very beautifully done. The detail on the rit's armor is amazing. I like that they are both action-shots too.

Do you have any of your own characters?

yeah their positions are awesome, however the elementalist could have a more interesting face I think... and perhaps the upper leg is a bit too long. The ritualist has an odd nose and mouth.. but Awesome detail!!

Theres a lot of potential in there! keep it up

None the less, very nicely done on the drawings. Would love to see some original character ones with just as nice detail from the two of you

Yes, those are ANET chars, but we do have drawings of original characters.

The above drawing is of my current guild leader, drawn in the basic pose mainly for pratice with armor details. I honestly agree with the comment about the faces, i am no great shakes at faces. (However, with some practice i hope to improve on that...) thanks so much for replying. (special hi to mistical miss! nice to see you again.)

armor details are pretty good work on your faces, it helps if u draw a line through the middle, so the face is a bit more symmetric

Thanks for the comments everyone. Yeah, about the faces, I'm not too good with them either, but like Miss Danshai said, i hope to get better at them . Well, here's another drawing:

Face again...and she looks a bit stiff, her right arm (for the viewer) has nothing to do, and though her chest is a bit turned (good!) her legs are still straight (bad).

What can help for drawing faces: Draw a line through the face from top to bottom. "(" shaped in ur last picture. Then u will notice the mouth isn't at the right place.

Keep it going, you only get better by drawing ^^

We know about the faces, we took half a semester of art last year and the teacher taught us that...although i actually hate to admit i know it, because i still can't draw faces! i have like this...face drawing deficency. my hand wont do what my brain wants it to. but then i've been studying anime style characters lately, and my noses (if nothing else) have improved now that i'm using a different style. i'm hoping to improve on the eyes, the eyes are the most important part of a face i think...they give the drawings life if you do it right, and show character. Well, we'll post some more drawings soon.

Take a good look at where you position the mouth aswell. In those drawings I've seen that the mouth is often not right under the nose, but somewhat more to the side. It takes the symmetry out of the face. And once again^^: keep it up!

Wow, thats awesome! Can't wait to see the finished!

BTW can you mod her details a bit?

[PS: The finders should be a bit thinner, her stomach needs to indent in more to show form, other than thats its perfect]

I do love your work, it is very nice and I think that you could do commissions and make a bunch in Guild Wars.

Well what I wanna ask is, WILL YOU PLEASE TAKE COMISSIONS?

Lol I would seriously LOVE any of my characters drawn by either on of you, your drawings are fantastic.

I will post my characters if you decide to do commissions.

Okay, well i finished your mesmer Legendary Ace, i just haven't had a chance to scan it yet!! but i will try to post that asap.
Commisions, hmm we could do that. don't know how it would work between the two of us thou, you would either have to specify me or nymph, or else we'll just toss dice or whatever.
okay here it is.

that was me who drew it, i'm glad you like it. we both usually post our own stuff, except in the very first post the rit is mine. but other than that, it holds true that we both post our own drawings.

Hi all, sorry i haven't posted in a while, I've been busy. Well, I'm trying to work on my faces.

Here's the one of Cynn again, I changed the face:
http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...nymph/Cynn.jpg


As for this one, the face and arm any better?

And this is one of a Charr:

tell me what you think.
hmmm....commissions, not sure how that would work out, mostly Miss Danshai and I work separately, but we occasionally help each other out on the drawings.

I looked through most of them (one wasn't there anymore) and I think you are definately showing promise, however.....there are quiet a few anatomy issues....not all of them are obvious...many had quirky proportions or assymetrical proportions....a few had glaring differences (ie: too long of arms or legs, torso too long) but do not be discouraged; simply learn and improve

Still good work

Haha, no perynne walker drew this face for me ^^ I just coloured it.

That was a pretty pose u took on that last one. Face is almost right (eyes aren't equal, but it doesn't matter that much)

Some points you may want to work on:
- armor needs space, that means that if you draw a leg part (like on that ranger) the leg+part should be wider than just theleg. (more the case on the arms btw)

- Using distance in your background, the river is kind of straight to the viewer, it should look more / \ -ish. Also try to fill up the landscape a bit more, draw some grass . Good work on the trees.

- Sharpen the lines a bit after u have finished the drawing, that way it won't become a grey mess.

Keep it up! (hope this helps :$)

one wasn't there anymore oops... i think i deleted that one . well its the one of the mesmer in one of my previous posts. i just made a few changes. hmm...as for proportions, ive notice some major mistakes as well (especially in my Cynn drawing, but i dont really want to go back and change it) and im working on it! Thanks for the advice Mistical miss. hehe, took me a while to figure out what you meant about the leg+part thing, but i got it now

here's something i've been working on it...nymph tells me it's not a good pose for a mesmer, but i dont see what's unusual about a mesmer turning cartwheels...i mean, assume she just finished a very difficult mission and is celebrating. well, i was trying for something unusual as opposed to the typical generic pose...the proportions may be off seeing as i didnt go through the whole eight-heads-high thing like i usually do (i know its supposed to be about 7 1/2, but i like to elongate the legs on the women, they look prettier), and the hands/arms are a bit uneven...and the left leg! OH NO! i just realized how crooked it is...

Thats a really tough pose, looks nice though!

There are only two things I can find that you haven't found already:

The hands lack fingers, and well the other thing would make the picture a bit more erm well err, when you stand on your head, your dress falls down. (Breast might be too packed in the clothes to be subject to gravity aswell).

Nice job on that one! Good thing you stepped off a generic pose aswell!

very nice work both of you!! I'm having such a ball going through these threads

I sure hope you decide to take commissions, and if you do I would love one!! What I have in mind is sort of a family picture of my ranger and my pet with my real life partner's ranger and her pet. I realize this would be more work, and I would most definitely pay more for it.



This is my ranger and Buffalo Wings, my pet.

This is my RL partner's ranger and her (she's a her in rl) dear pet, Orson. She says he's a dog I don't argue about it anymore.

Oooh, he's so cute. <3 The legs could maybe be a bit thinner in their middle parts to emphasize where the knee "knobs" are and where the foot starts. Otherwise it's just perfect, I think.

Your other drawings are very good too, keep up the good work! It's good that you're trying out different poses, rather than sticking to the generic frontal pose that so many promising artists get stuck on. Best way to learn anatomy is to draw it from all sides.

OMG that's *MY BABY*!!!!!!!! He looks soooooooooooooooo CUTE!!!!

I am overcome by emotion!!! honestly!!! Some background info: I started looking at threads in this section a few weeks ago. I am amazed at the talent, truly amazed. I have requested a few commissions here and there, and your sketch of Buffalo Wing is THE FIRST one. Seeing him here was like so touching!!!

Ooooh. it's so cute! <3<3 It fits in really well.

One thing that strikes my eye is that there's a LOT of "empty" space on the ranger's left. Will you be drawing something there? Even some large bushes and trees and maybe tall grass would help... right now, the image looks pretty lopsided since the main attractions are both situated to the far left.

Also, the moa's size looks a bit small, since he's nearly on the same level as the ranger. If the ranger stood up, she'd be almost right next to the moa, and it would come up to about her waist. I know it's probably too late to fix it now, but you'd need to move the ranger closer to the viewer if you wanted to get more of a distance (and at the same time height difference) between them. I know, perspective is tricky... x_x

Anyway, don't mind me, this picture is just wonderful like this too.
