Update Numbah TWO! Took me a while to get started today. Am done with lineart, just laid down skin layer. Am calling it quits for the evening. The picture itself is fun, but I have to say... much as I love Asuran armor (got it on the Rit and the Derv), it's a pain in the butt to draw! All those teeny details... I smoothed a few of them out, but tried to stick pretty close to the original. Fortunately, despite all those patterns, it's only a few different colors, so that should go quickly, especially since I'm only doing three-tone shading. Actually, it's at two-tone now; I might choose that instead if it looks good; we'll have to see. So basically 3 or 4 more color layers to do - estimated 25-30 minutes? Started at 10 this evening, now 11, so still on track timewise.

'Night, folks.

Update Numbah Three: IT'S DONE! YAY! Took a bit longer than expected on the color since I was duplicating layers and what have you and trying to get the shading to work out right. It's good now though. As I thought it might, the hair has more shading than anything else, because I go overboard on hair. That's probably good, though, because without the highlights it would be too dark. Anyway if the 3-tone hair and 2-tone everything else bugs you I can probably go back and add highlights on the rest, though I accidentally saved the RIF after I merged the layers so I'd have to just work from the one or add new ones. Other than that I think it turned out well, and I didn't make the glasses look really idiotic (which usually happens when I draw glasses, say for a self-portrait or something), and the hands are decent compared to many I've done. Also, you have to look hard, but there are sparklies on the staff head (was just going to have them inside but I went a little nutso... anyway, no those aren't stray marks they're there on purpose). And... apparently the light source is below her and in the direction she's facing. Maybe she is healing someone who is knocked down and on fire?

That looks very cool, thanks!

Yeah, I like your choice. I've always like the spellcasting animation for the monks. And you included my old healing staff that I got from the collector outside of Port Sledge all that time ago. Sweet!

I'm reopening this, as summertime is supremely boring and I can once again watch Xena while drawing (brand new laptop yayaya).

Check the front page for information.

I take it you want full colored then?

I'll get to work on it soon.

EDIT: Oh! And cartoon or semi-realistic? (I might drop this soon as the two are increasingly running into each other, but I'll still give the choice for now)

Sounds great! I'll put you down for a fullbody. What sort of character do you like most to draw? I've got everything but a sin. I can give you some screenies tomorrow when I'm on my computer.

I'm starting work on the first commission tonight.

Well.... I like drawing spellcasters (because you can always have fun doing spell effects and such with them), but others are fun too. It's really up to you who you'd like drawn, I'm not picky.

I'll take one full-color, full-body semi-realistic of my warrior, Darcy Sa Renn.

She's on the serious side as she is the eldest of this Sa Renn family adventuring group and feels compelled to watch over the others. She has a good sense of humor and enjoys an occasional party. She helps anyone who asks and is very generous with her belongings.

She likes her non-elite Kurzick armor best and usually equips a Chaos Axe and a Gloom Shield. The axe has a medium blue tinge and the shield is undyed.

Added Darcy to the list. Sorry I've been slow on working; I havent' had as much time as I would have liked. I hope to have the lineart for InfestedHydralisk's picture done today.

Perynne, I think I'll have you do Jenna, my ele. I'll message you the refs, though, because there're a bunch (she's the skill hunter, so she's all elements and all classes and very nearly has a weapon and armor for each). I'll let you pick which you want her to be for the picture.

Double post pew pew pew!

...I have no idea where that came from. Anyway, finished the first commish!



The lineart for this was tough. I loved doing the hair and the face (except the mouth... "augh the mouth is open how do I draw this?!"), but the pose... well, it's kinna unoriginal (half generic fireball pose, half actual casting animation), and I know I completely botched her right hand, but whatever. It clicked.

I finally figured out a good way to do the coloring, so that made me happy. Two ways, actually. I lay down an initial layer with the camel brush, then added a darker color and blended the two with the tint blender (much better than the smudger!). About halfway through I figured out that I could use one of the chalk tools with the tint blender to achieve even better highlights and shadows, especially on the hair. So I think I'll be sticking with that from now on.

So yeah! It's good to be back at the tablet... it's hard to get back into, but once I was working it just drew me in. So yay!

EDIT: Ack! Somehow I managed to upload the uncropped version. Oh well; it's not too bad.

Since I really really like these, I would really really like it if you want to do ALL my other pve characters. (just 6 others)
They fit very well on my wiki character pages.

My Warrior:
Infested Kerrigan I

Very dangerous warrior that doesn't give up until her target is down. (With Tinted Spectacles please.)(If you are including a weapon pick these: Destroyer Maul, Embersteel Blade, Barbed Axe, Magma Shield.)

My Ranger:
I Terran Ghost I
Sneaky huntress that can work without sight. (If you are including a weapon please choose the Silverwing Recurve Bow (Black).)

My Necromancer:
I Zerg Queen I
The Queen of Dark Magic and undead. (She has a red scar below her eye behind the hair, it shouldn't be seen clearly though.)(If you are including a weapon please choose the Bone Dragon Staff (black).)

My Monk:
I Terran Medic I
Cute monk. Enough said. (She has Tinted Spectacles, forgot to show it.)

My Asssassin:
I Zerg Zergling I
Sneaky and cold minded Assassin, can create shadow illusions of herself. (She wields Black Dragon Kamas.)

My Mesmer:
Protoss Sentry
Top quality illusionist.

So that will make a total of 120k (you will probably get more from me. )

I want them all seperatly though! :O

Finished Invertation's commish!



This one was almost entirely in the soft charcoal (what I erroneously referred to earlier as chalk), with only the base layer in camel brush. Shading has gotten so much easier, although I think despite my fiddlings I lost most of the facial shading in midtones. My main worry now is that I will fall into smudgy blendy hell with no sharpness; I'll have to keep a good leash on it.

I hope the eyes are a good enough color. I tried to give her a bit more direction with the expression by giving her a bit of a pupil rather than a solid-colored glowing eye. I think while I was futzing with the shading on the eyeball I may have screwed up on the reflection a little. Whoops Oh, and I recolored the lips a bit so they wouldn't clash; the purplish maroon was not getting along with the oranges.

Sorry I kind of phoned in the armor, but I didn't want the detail to take attention away from the face, and I was already worried about how her neck, not her head, is at the center of the image.

I just realized that every single necro picture I've drawn on this thread has been largely red. Curious.

Red! Of course, red and necromancers go together like frenzy/healsig on warriors.
It's a fine work.

Finally finished Perynne's art trade!



Personally, after a week of wrestling with it, I'm still not happy. With the exception of the leather bits, the outfit seems to have got lost in midtone hell. But the worst part is the pose/expression. I started out trying to have her swinging across a chasm, but I couldn't get the rope to work right, and I gave up on that. I found some lovely shots of somebody's Lara Croft cosplay that worked as good reference for just climbing/hanging on to a rope, so I ran with that, thinking maybe she's hanging on for dear life or something. But I can't draw muscles well at all, and her expression got stuck in "dull surprise" mode, so I scratched that. So now she's just chillin', I guess.

Oh well.

Oh, and btw I'm closing commissions due to only having about a month before I have to leave for school. I'll finish the queue (frostkisses if you update your post I'll count you in too) and then *iff* I have time left I'll reopen.

I love it! I think the expression is very good (it's hard to get any kind of expression with a mask like that) and the idea of her just hanging on the rope, chillin' out with no care in the world... it's just like her to do something like that. The maps and gold pieces dropping from her bag are a wonderful touch too, definitely gives it an adventurer feel. Thankyou! I'm very happy with it.

Ah is home. Hooray for lovely dry California air! Though I will miss the lovely Midwest summer lightning storms.

I'll probably get back to drawing on Tuesday. I am a space cadet today and tomorrow I have to clean b/c my cousins from Arkansas are coming to visit.

Hey guys. Sorry about the delays.

A) College = much busyness. I've had my hands full with my assigned artwork.

B) Corel Painter Essentials has spontaneously decided it is unstable and refuses to launch. I need to figure out why this is happening and fix it.

I will try to complete my commissions at some point (breaks will help), assuming I can get my programs up and running again. The other half of the art trade with Murke is top priority, but I will attempt to get to everyone.

Sorry to keep y'all waiting.

You don't have to do mine anymore, I thought you quit since I didn't hear in a long while from you.
I don't have the money anymore for the payment.
