Wintersday Workshop

Sooooooo cuuuuuuuute. She's all Give Dwayna a hug \o/

testing how colours will come up oO

<---- Lovin' Dwayna-chan.

Minami, for dressing Grenth, just put him in regular attire but make sure facial expression can be seen. The fact that he's gonna be teeny-tiny and showing emotion at all will scale down the intimidation factor.

God I haven't posted in ages!

I went with the picture idea in the end, I haven't really got the gist of FL Studio 8 yet and I wanna get used to it more before I submit a song as an entry.

I'm about to go bed now, too tired after partying all night the past 2 nights! I'll post some progress tomorrow

Thanks guys! ^_^

Dove, what do you mean by "regular attire"? I was thinking about these clothes: http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/d/d...enthAvatar.jpg

Seems kind of a daunting task, but it would fit with the details on Dwayna's armor. I think if I only drew him in a black, hooded robe, that would throw off the balance of the picture.

He will have facial expressions, most notably the O_o eyes
There's no way to draw him a mouth, but in this case I think the eyes will suffice We'll see ^_^

Thanks for the tip

Lmao.. Dwayna-Chan is soooo cute!!

Good work guys! ^^

dwayna looks absolutely adorable, minami!

lorenna, that's really cool! Not to mention original.



I didn't update first post today >.>'''
I'll do that now then.


EDIT: gosh, I'm so sorry I didn't see this question earlier!

YOU MAY make 1 entry for the Poetry/Prose Award AND 1 for the rest of the Workshop Awards!
This is simply because we need more entries for the Poetry/Prose Award to at all justify having it.



Here's what I've spent my sunday doing:



done painting the cuirass, haven't added the laquer yet. After that, it will be a fair bit more shiny, and the darker parts will be even darker.

I'm also trying to find a hue of silvery blue which will work for her skin-tone.
This is what I got so far, but I'm not 100% sure. Critique very much welcome:




This is what the cuirass looks like from the back, so far:



(so much bare skin, had to cover it up a bit >.>'''')

Here's the crown coming together:



Since this image was taken I've pretty much finished it, it's prepping for paint now.
It's MASSIVE.

no new blog entry yet, mostly because writing about painting techniques will take AGES.
I'll give it a try tomorrow morning with the progress pictures, and a big cup of coffee.

God, I can't believe how much time I spent on this thing already. D8

thanks tzu..its only my first go and eventually the final one will go on glass so i have a stained glass piece with dwayna in a wintersday scene..but yours already looks amazing Oo

I hoped it would be stained glass deco! I love it so much, it's really nostalgic to me.
Must be difficult to make though, I imagine it requires quite a steady hand. :3
And thanks

Idea for entry: Incorporating the pets of guild wars and christmas
genre of art: Photo-manipulation

And looks like Tzu is gonna win another grand prize this year contest. =P

Agreed Chicken ^_^
Tzu's costumes are so way awesome!

I'd of course love to have an art book, but I know I ain't getting one.
However I would love to place somewhere just to get that tonic I adore the reindeer with their cuuuute shiny nose ^_^

*imagines herself happily galloping around in GW*

It would be cool if you could use it outside of towns too! I'd go to Ravenheart Gloom and light up the whole place with my nose *lol*

^_^

*goes back to drawing*

Yeah that'd be awesome it it worked in explorable areas.

Nice work, you all, btw!

very awesome tzu! it turned out really well with the paint can't wait to see the rest of the golden pieces of the costume that u make

Tzu! It looks realllllly good!! How does that thing put on?? XD! I see nothing like a zipper or anything. xD

I'm actually wondering that myself - I can't see any areas where there might be a closure, and it looks too fitted to be able to be pulled over your head. How'd you do it?

It definitely looks great painted

Or more importantly how do you store these after they're used? I can't imagine they compress into a closet on a hanger very much.

Very nice work by the way.

LOL you guys are right, where's the opening on the cuirass?

I think a bit darker blue in the bodypaint would be better, right now too much of your natural skin color shows through (tho that might be because of the silver, I'm not sure )
But I think Dwayna's skin is a little darker blue than what you tried out on that pic ^_^
Is it a cream you put on? Or make-up?

ok im still kinda new to this and i have a question :P how are you guys coloring in your pictures? like photoshop or paint or something? cause thats what i need to do for mine
