Love it Love it Love it!!! Sorry I didn't reply earlier to thank you for my commission.

Thanks for making the sleep mode. It's really amazing how terribly sad it made me feel to see my virtual pet dead. I didn't care about my ranger, it was Bufalo. Seriously, I think I need therapy.

Amazing what not having real life deadlines and demands can do... Morag is on a roll!!

Torikaes ritualist--------- breathtaking!! The colors, the movement, stunning.

Tommarrow's ele -------- again, amazing, I love the colors.

ok, don't worry, I'm still around I was busy with family stuff during the weekend

however, here's the lineart for Commander Ryker's project:



as Commander Ryker is the Guild Wars equivalent of Commander Riker of Star Trek - Next Generation, I thought about how to combine Fantasy and Sci-Fi. You see a young Ryker (maybe not Commander yet^^) in his room. He's just changing into his uniform after having come back from his favourite leisure time activity: playing Elementalist in Guild Wars on the Holo deck.

I love it! I'm not sure what you were talking about the background. There his rago staff, the closet and window you can see outerspace. I love how he absent mindley forgot to change out of his guild wars pants.

Is the rez high enough I'll be able to print and hang it?

<---I didn't have to resize it to put it here. Wrong way with the rez?

I'll look for you later in game to pay you.

Ryker <---looking forward to the day when all the walls in my room are filled with commissions.

In all the shows I've watched, I don't recall ever seeing anything on the walls. Here's a pic from a movie or something and it looks pretty much the way Morag drew it.

Thanks for sending the other one this morning. I didn't wait for Mess to get home, I just went on her computer and forwarded it to myself.

Awesome sketch and I love the finished version too!

By the way... how long does it take you to prep your sketches with transparency etc for the forums, if you don't mind my asking? I just think it's a cool effect.

well, about 2 seconds or so it's a trick I actually kinda 'borrowed' from Nian ( sorry, great idea though )

the sketch was done in photoshop on one layer, and then I just put another layer beneath it which has exactly the same color than the forum background - so actually it's just a special background color instead of white or yellow - no transparency at all

ok, now Nian's gonna kill me for babbling her secret (I only found out by browsing her pictures on other forums )

hi everyone, here's the lineart without shading for vilaptca!



I'm sorry I dispensed with the two additional minions in the background, but they are horribly detail-heavy. If you'd really really like to have them, I'm afraid I'd have to charge a little extra, because they take up as much time as the character itself

@jrk247:
as long as I don't close the thread (and I don't think I will in the near future ), you can sign up there when there's a free spot. a B&W shaded drawing is (out of nature of materials used) more black / grey than the one I posted. the sepia effect was added later, it's something I like personally. but you can have what you want, as you pay for it

Ooh, very lovely shading. I really like the contrast between black and white. His pose is very strong and you've done a wonderful job on the detail in his armor. Also, the minion is very cute.

I like peeking into your gallery every now and then, always wonderful to see something new from you.

some silly art for in-between

doodled some o' my characters at work:

Morag Deathspell, my ele and oldest character on my account. she likes explosions. burn something and call it a day.

Kara Skhan, my necromancer. she pretty isn't concerned with anything at all - as long as it lives. likes working together with Morag because of all the nice barbecue

Lil Bit Dangerous - well, she's all about looking daggers at people. literally.

Lizzy Sees U Thru, my monk. went into retirement after anet disabled Shiro'ken farming. and pretty much all kinds of farming. presently gathering a lot of dust




have fun

Edit by Unlucky Slayer: I know the picture size is kinda lax in Nolani, but that one was a bit excessive. - yes, thank you, I realized it was way too big but didn't have time to change it anymore

I hope you can open the list again in August. You do some really vivid artwork. Maybe when college starts back again for me, I'll take a break from commissions for a while and hope you have room on your list for me.

Keep up the awesome art and don't work too hard!
