@ Konig Des Todes Thanks

@Nemesis Xero Sure thing, it may be a long wait though.

Okay, it's time for another progress update. Still working on YunSooJin's character Reyla Terest and all is going well. Just detailing the background a bit before I move on to the main subject. I love painting clouds. They're so yummy!

Enjoy

Hello again.
Does anyone have the address of ArenaNet, I want to hurt the person who designed this armour.

It's all getting there though. Just one step at a time.



Doing all this game art makes me wish I was in the business. I can dream.

Really nice job, I love the textures. I'm probably the last person you'd want giving comments on anatomy, but I think they legs can be a tinsy bit longer, as the upper body is pretty large. But whoever that is for probably is ecstatic right now . Yes.

I did some measuring in paint with the leg lengths, and they look OK to me. It's been awhile since I've brushed up on general body proportions but from what I can recall the proportions she has seem realistic .

No Blue's right. You only measured the pic as if it was a paper doll, but you didn't take into account foreshortening. For one the bent thigh's length suggests that it's tilted towards the viewpoint but the straps are painted flat as if the thigh was exactly perpendicular. Make it one or the other; I suggest revising the straps to suggest the cross section just to prevent the pose from looking flat.

Ofc irl people can have those proportions but usually if you want to flatter a character you go for more ideal proportions haha.

Nice color sense though; I'm envious.

@ BlueXIV "Because CA.org is awesome, and you will get a lot of benefits from it, both in CnC and in getting into the business if you so wish :P" - I'll definitely have to check it out then.

@Espadon - I'm still working on that leg. It's not meant to look that much closer to the viewer and it's being a bugger. XD

I've never been one for fantasy proportions, I'd rather her look like a warrior than a super model trying to lift a huge-ass hammer.

Another report! Yes, what do we have here. Well, it's finally up to the point of no return. I'm going over every bit of the painting and I'm blending and smoothing and detailing and adding texture. This is the stage where the Alt button really gets abused (poor keyboard). Up until this point I always have my brush set to 100% Opacity, it's now at 45%. You can see a tiny bit of what I'm yapping about on the right foot.

Okay, I'm going to bed before my eyes pop out of my head.

It's been a real treat being able to see the various steps you've been taking so far. I think I'm going to save all of them =)

@YunSooJin - At least you know I'm actually working.
Hopeful this is the last one before the finish.

@eeks - Thank you.

Last report for this piece (I hope). I'm working from the bottom of the figure to the top. It takes a while, but I think it's worth it.

@ Nemesis Xero - Thank you. It's pretty awesome armour though.

Okay, here it is. I'm putting my stamp on it and saying it's done. My eyes popped out and rolled away hours ago. o.O

@ Morag D - Haha, sorry about that. I'll be putting it on DA soon, I haven't submitted anything in awhile so a lot of stuff has stacked up.

@ Hailfall - Thank you.

@ Invertation - Haha, just reread it and noticed it sort of sounded that way, huh? Thank you.

@ YunSooJin - You're very welcome. It was an absolute pleasure.

Looks really nice so far

You might want to check the perspective on the lower part of the building, the part that sticking out of the bottom half of her wing. It really sticks out right now, and I can't look at any other parts of the image XD

The figure looks great tho

You are so, so skilled that I'm really at a loss at what to say since basically everyone has said it already =P. Yun's commission just looks AMAZING and I can tell Morag is going to have a very lovely one as well.

I was wondering if I could change what characters I wanted drawn, I suddenly got hit by a HUGE inspirational idea to have my necro choking/strangling a paragon friend of mine...I would pay double of course, plus some extra and would edit my post =P. However, if you really want to draw my pirate mesmer I'm fine with that too!

@ Konig Des Todes - Thanks.

@ BlueXIV - Thank you Blue. Which part exactly are you referring to, the wonky doorway or the staircase?

@ Morag D - Glad you like it so far.

@ Chicken of the Seas - Since I haven't even started you are free to change at any time. Sounds like an awesome idea too. I do hope I'll get to draw your Mesmer one day though, I love pirates.
