My mesmer has been demanding alot lately from me and his latest demand on the list was a commision.
Since I am not that pleased with most new weapons/armor skins from EotN, i decided to put my commision 1st place in line.
Its gonna be pretty simple I want my mesmer Geist Fanatismus drawn (screenshots put below).
(rules and prizes stated below screenshots)

here are a few pictures with the appearence and armor off my my mesmer:

Here is a close up from him with 2 additional masks you may use (the second mask is preferd in a picture but if you can make up a nice look for him with either off the other 2 masks thats fine aswell):




Here's how the prize list looks like!


Prizes for drawings:
1st place: 150k
2nd place: 50k
3th place: 25k
4th place: Amulet off the mists

4th: Mini warthog
5th: 5 beetle juice tonics
6th: 10 Yuletide tonics
7th: 20 champagne poppers
8th: 20 bottle rockets

I will give a few examples themes for the drawings and things i particulary like (however I also encourage pple to surprise me with their art creations!)

1. Underworld Chaosplanes/Chamber/Bone pits (any of the locations and the monsters there can be used)
2. The realm of lyssa (I do know this doesnt exist but i will leave this option totaly open to youre imagination)
4. My Mesmer is an old fashion type of guy and likes to hang around in a pub drinking scotch in ascalon or ale with the dwarves/norn. (I will leave everything to youre fullest imagination)
(these are only examples so feel free to combine the themes or even create youre own!)

styles not preferd:
- Chibi isnt preferd
other then the above use any style youre comfortable with

general rules:
- you may submit multiply entries (and update youre old ones ofcourse) however only 1 price each person.`
- This contest will end on 29th october.
- I reserve the right to change the prizes(i will only make the prizes better so dont fear~~), also if there arent sufficient entries i might consider not giving the first prize but instead the second or third prize, wich i hope is not needed offcourse)
- When the contest is over the winners will be announced and the prizes will be given away in Balthazar's Temple Internation district 1 (I will send you a message if you have won and ask for a time we can meet to hand out the prize).
- The judges will be 1st me some friends off mine and perhaps some guildies,

Oh nice! You'll probably beat anything I can do for this. If I get time before the end of October I might enter, but I swear if you and Noanoa both enter this I may just /resign on this mission. :P hehe

i suppose i'll give it shot..i got till october anyways...hmm i have to work on my rt costume too. i hope i wont disappoint...

would you prefer paper or computer image? because as far as paper goes..i'd only be able to do 8.5x11...but it'd probably look the best. and also, if you liked it enough. i could always mail the original to you

I think to create the best imagery for this, I should probably try to fall asleep in my psychology class...Freud does "Fear and Loathing in Realm of Lyssa"....

I'm drawing, but trust me it's not gonna be easy because I've somehow got to fit this and the Halloween contest and my commissions into my already busy schedule with college...so don't freak out until the end of the month. I avoid just throwing something together when I get a little time, because I still want it to be nice.

I'm drawing as well, but currently a couple of commissions and the GW Halloween contest come first. I do have a sketch ready for this though, but it's on hold for a while. Don't worry though, I'll have it finished before the deadline.

Just got this scanned today, might not be able to color this in time of the contest, and maybe should have spent more time working on this specially on fixing the armor details, scanner also messed up around the bottom, for some reason, ah well..



Was a lil tricky trying to make a lighting effect come from your character's hands

Huh... my submission was supposed to be a speedpainting due to having a huge workload breathing down my neck, but figures that I'd get too attached to it to start working on it more.

Finally just had to stop tinkering with it and go with this:


Detail shot of the character: http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/a...cho_detail.jpg

I'm well aware the background is pretty much different and clashing hues to the figure itself, but I just couldn't find a smart way to fix it. That's what comes from working on the two separately. Oh, and that's my vision of the Realm of Lyssa... the leaves on the tree are actually small crystals with almost mirror facets.

EDIT: Added a weapon for him. He looked so unbalanced without one.

Raah! Here we go:

The story here is that Geist challenges Lyssa's muse to prove his power and Lyssa's muse summons the bansheelike avatar of Lyssa(the muse itself, not the dervish avatar) with whom he faces off. He is actually using the avatar's own powers against her by draining it from her. So this is all in the Realm of Lyssa.

Btw I did just not pull this off my head just now. I actually started doing it weeks ago but dammit I have been a bit busy and ended up having to rush the coloring to finish for the deadline. :P

Harrharr, we are taking over Nolani! Wow, I didn't even notice that there were other finns besides Nian and I. It came as a total surprise.

And just to keep this post on topic, yay, great entries from everyone! Nian, I love your colouring, it's just breathtaking like always. ^^ Can't wait to see the results!
