I've finally decided on a char, went around in circles but ended up going back to my main again, should you decide to draw her.



The weapons she uses are http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Image:Katana.jpg and http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Pronged_Fan although feel free to use one, none, or your own choosing

Sue Aside is a very mischievous and adventurous mesmer, sometimes too much for her own good. She worked as a bodyguard of sorts for the Kaineng traders who did not believe in violence as an answer. Instead, she would provide cover by showing the attackers temporary visions of phantoms that were not really there, allowing the traders and herself a quick getaway.

Through her line of duty she met a mysterious male mesmer and they fell in love. He bought her many expensive dresses, and armors before he finally purposed to her. On the day of their wedding, many traders who loved Sue attended to see this blessed day.

That day however proved fatal when her groom revealed himself as Am Fah. The groom and his side of the "family" raised their weapons to the traders, and many if not all were slaughtered that day. The Am Fah proved victorious and ran out of the wedding area to raid the houses of those whom they had killed.

Sue was left crippled and bleeding not only physically, but internally as well from the betrayal of her fiance. Since then, violence became an answer. Her methods became more torturous, especially with Am Fah. Not only would she give them false visions, but she would wear down their energy and cause them to attack themselves helplessly.

While she no longer works with the Kaineng traders, she can still be seen walking along the roads and cities of Cantha, seeking revenge on those who betrayed her.

If you chose mine feel free to dirty up her dress, she doesn't have to stay clean and pristine. And yes, she is a bit inspired by the bride from Kill Bill.

Bumping this up.

I must say this is by far the best artwork I've seen. I'm really impressed. Many thanks to Kerwyn for bumping this. No idea how I managed to miss this thread.

I'm excited to see her all finished and fancy!

I'm a fan of your work on backgrounds, they really give every piece a great amount of perspective and either contribute to the visual balance, like with the mesmer piece, or create a thematic ambiance, like with the assassin piece, and I really feel that it's an amazing strength to have.

However, if I may offer some constructive critique, it feels like the anatomy in the mesmer piece could use some refinement, like in the upraised shoulder; where the rotator cuff and latissimus dorsi come together at the right edge of the character's torso is a touch wide, and much too smooth of a curve.
Keep in mind that the entire area isn't a single muscle but a grouping of them; even though the character isn't exactly 'ripped', there will be an unevenness there. The next bit would be the upraised arm; anatomically, the visible gap between the upper arm and her head should be smaller as a result of the entire arm being lowered by about a finger's length and brought closer to the body very very slightly.
Proceeding down to the hips, if you'd notice there's a bit of disparity here on the angle of the character, the implied bends in her body, and the curvature of her back as opposed to the hips. This may just be a character thing, but it somewhat feels as though her butt should start just a wee tad bit higher, either that or her torso should be a wee bit shorter (and thus everyone else moves up a touch), at least that's how I'd do it

Pretty awesome start on that piece though, and judging by the linework it seems like you focused most of your time on that beautiful background so far anyway, so I can't wait to see the finished piece! ^_^

I need to visit this section of the forums more often. Let me just say WOW, your art is absolutely fantastic! I'll be keeping a tab on this thread for sure.
