Morag's Art Dump

Orcface! XD

Ouu Morag that looks great~ amazing job on the nose, too O__O i always have so much trouble with those... and lips -envy-

thanks marsh - I fail at realistic depictions of actual people... apart from very rough recognisable features, that looks NOTHING like my Skyrim char >.< i need practice badly

designing the GW2G logo for lulz

Awwh I need to practice realism (is that the right term, hah! XD) myself, all of my people sketches turn out like.....bug eyed :CCC i wonder whats to blame for that! :P

and awwwwwwwwwwww that logo is adorableeeeee

Morag that's the best I've seen so far. I like the lower one most. have you submitted it?

Nice practice with the orc, though I think it could use a more work with the underlying structure of the skull - the face looks kind of wobbly. And that dragon is just too cute for the five races to unify and kill.

Charlie, you're right... it was one of those things where you sit down a couple of minutes and do something sloppy, and it looks cool when you do it, and the minute you put it away and come back to it, you see how WRONG everything is >.<

It peeved me a lot that the drawing didn't look like my character, so I decided to try again...



I'm much more happy with it this time round, especially the profile because it really does look like her. I still need to be more daring on the eyes and lips, they are much bigger ingame, and the head proportions are a bit off. It taught me something though:

I can draw faces OK if I actually BLOODY CONCENTRATE

pixel art... I haven't tried enough styles yet :P

Shala, because she's so iconic



and detail for those who are interested:

Morag, you know I have always been secretly jealous of you. I have seen your progression in art, and I have to say it is impressive.

Nice pencil studies, that orc looks very cool! It has a very strong expression, I can tell you took your time refining. And those pixels <3! Is it challenging doing pixels? I always wanted to try it, but never had time to.

aw thanks so much :3 I'm always a bit surprised when people say they like my work, I don't think I'm that good (not that I don't enjoy people liking what I do though ) I envy people who have the focus to sit down and get really good at one particular thing. Me, I am a professional dabbler... I do everything a bit In art class, that was always seen as a bit of a fault - you have to find your particular style, your artistic handwriting, they say. Well - my handwriting is multidisciplinary XD

Pixel work is actually a lot less mysterious than I always imagined - in a way it's like painting in that you have to think about colour and form a lot, but at the same time it's different because it's ... deconstructed. I find it fascinating! There are a lot of good tutorials on dA, just search for pixel art tutorial. I did some shading practice (called dithering in pixel art) before attempting organic things, but not a lot. I picked it up pretty fast, and it's really enjoyable - you can make small things that don't take long to finish, so it's great when you're busy. You should try it!

amazingly talented stuff here, I am so very impressed and jealous at the sheer detail and work you put into everything you do, even studies/doodles. you put a lot of character into your work too--nothing is stiff or awkward, even if there are flaws, you seem to overcome that by the feeling and life you give your pieces.
