I hope he will finish my Shala action fighter.. *hint hint* 
Charlie Dayman
Whoo boy, feeling groggy...
@Tommy: Forgot how weird it feels to be in between semesters with no classes.
@Aero: I've got a week break before I have a month of summer classes. But during that week, I'm hoping to get a piece done for that Rift contest on DA. And in between then and the next Fall semester it's all portfolio stuff.
@Hail: Don't worry, your piece will actually be done this summer. I've got that contest piece before it, and the idea I have for Shala is pretty big so it'll be a bit. I'll have to brush up on After Effects again since I haven't used it since I made that Iron piece.

Ah the Rift contest. That triggered some interest here too. But I probably won't have enough time. Prizes are not nothing though! Good luck in there, I'm sure you'll come up with something epic (along the lines of your Shatterer painting).
Edit: Oh deadline is June 19th. Perhaps in due time...

Now I actually have time to sift through everyone's threads and see what they're working on. Bahahahahaaa. That's awesome.

Want to see you doing a set of weapon designs.
Thistle Xandra
love your latest uploads! are those development boards part of your class assignment, too, or did you just summarize and make those at the end for fun?
BlackXI
Oh my Charlie!! This thread has a lot more drawings than your other one. I really love your progress. However, now when I look at a warrior I will always think about that picture XD...I can not unsee it!
Lady Kaguya
amazing work as always, im so entertained and happy when i view this topic, you're very inspiring!
Arghore

Back from the dead - I'll be browsing through everyone's thread later on to see what you folks have been up to.
Linework for Shala. Bringing in everything I've learned from my Char. Design class into this. Went through a number of poses, and this one seemed to best represent Shala's confidence and sexuality. I think it has way more character than the initial pose I was planning to work with.
Also re-designed her armor. Trying to move away from doing direct armor copies - helps way more in terms of creativity.

Oh that makes her look really classy but still tough as a warrior. I have to give it to the lady though that i am amazed she can walk on those high heels hahaha.
Very nice Charlie

It's important to look good when commanding an army of undead.
Morag D
this... is frickin awesome! yay fur love the armour, except for the part that covers her boobies, the plating seems too round there to fit in with the overall sharpness of the rest. and your brushwork is so lovely :3

You are right that pushing your boundaries can help you improve, I definitely see some Wizard of Oz-concept style in there. This really blows some new life in my desire of a Jesus Beaming Lucy 
Oh and about our conversation last time: http://imaginism.deviantart.com/

@Morag: Thanks Morag. The fur is actually gonna' be more like raven's feathers this time around.
I'm not too sure about the design on the breasts. I tried earlier with that spikey web design on there, but the chest plate just looked too overdone with it. Reason I added in that design was to play off of her natural curves, and to break the pattern between the pointy feathers and layered stomach.
@Toms: Right, the Oz project and my Illustration class definitely taught me to view character design in a much different manner. Before, I wasn't putting enough planning into my works - I got ahead of myself and would just plan things out as they came to me.
This entire past semester, I had to do so many preliminary sketches before actually starting the final piece. At first it was really tedious, but I soon realized the importance of doing drafts/thumbnails. There were definitely a lot of re-works of this pose and armor design before the lineart was finalized.
Anyways, hopefully I do get around to Lucy and her Jesus Beam. And now that I see the link, I have seen that guy's work - really great stuff, especially his Alice In Wonderland concepts.
Here's another WIP shot with a bit of shading and coloring added. I'm really enjoying having lineart as a base to paint over. The clean design of the lineart really plays well with how loose I paint. Think I've found a new favorite method of PS painting.

Loving the pose...and the feathers
really really like her belt buckle.
She ain't going to be running anywhere in those heels though - is that why MM's are so slow?

MMs are so slow because we have to stand back and summon while everyone else moves on the moment things are dead... D: -prefers Curses-
Charlie, that's looking amazing, as always. The skulls, feathers and plates are particularly awesome.

*sits back and impatiently waits for more progress*
p.s. are you going to include her wings too?

That looks very promising.
Charlie Dayman
@Aero and Morag: Haha, yeah. I liked the idea that she's controls the minions from a distance while looking good.
@Drel: Thanks, I'm pretty excited about this piece.
@Magik: Wasn't really planning on it. I'm doing more of a hybrid version between the GW and Aion version, yet still making it obvious that it's Shala. Since I won't be including the wings, I instead brought in the feathered collar.
@IH: Should come out looking pretty cool in the end.
@Hail: That's good to hear. You have some cool drawings of Shala, though it looked like there was a lack of "sinister" pictures of her. I want to make her look more like "Shala the Minion Master", not "Shala the Fashion Model".
EDIT: Another progress shot. Been distracted today, so I didn't get as far as I'd like. Adding on more of the finer details on the armor, and still playing around with color. Still debating on how I want to do the scar tattoo.

I really love the small hints of red in her face. Combined with the scar crossing her eye it looks amazing. I would give the other parts of the scar print a bit more color, perhaps a bit darker too, I think what would look better. And still those horns. So amazing really.
Btw is there any chance you have some more sketches uploaded which you haven't shared with us (not particularly on Shala). Because I really like the way you sketch, want to see more!

Oooh, nice!
I think that the one leg (the one in the back) should probably be angled back a tiny bit more - heels screw up your center of balance, and with heels that tall and standing as she is, she'd be pretty likely to fall over

Charlie Dayman
@Toms: Gotcha, I'm still playing around with the scar pattern. Debating if I want them to be just like regular tattoos, or more like a raised/depressed skin type of thing. Luckily they're still on a separate layer, so I can still freely edit it.
I actually do have a number of sketches from my Anatomy class last year. Just haven't scanned and uploaded them since most of them are 18x24" - I'll get around to it soon though.
@V: Cool, thanks for the insight on heels. Aero and I were actually laughing earlier, she suggested I ask one of my neighbors for a pair to try on to better understand how they effect your posture. But since I don't really talk to my neighbors, that's kind of the habit of a serial killer. That and I have guy parts.
CALL FOR A RITUALIST
I've got an idea for a Rit that I'd like to get out of my system before I take on animating Shala. So now, I'm looking for a Rit to draw - go ahead and post if you're interested.

Yeah, heels really change things - your center of balance, your posture, and how you walk. Which is why I don't wear them
Ritualist, huh?

@IH: Once I get to Sins, I don't think you have to much competition - just you and Smilin' as far as I know. And it's not like I won't repeat classes.
@V and Morag: Good looking Rits, thanks for posting. So far you two and Aero are in the running.
@Del: We do need some Ranger love up in here!
@Frost: I'd like to draw both your and my ele, Dixun. Nice opposites of ice and fire.
@Raven: Don't worry Mina, I certainly haven't forgotten Ran. THIS THREAD NEEDS MOAR TESTOSTERONE.
COME ON YOU SILLY SAUSAGES, START POSTING YOUR RITS.

Being a silly sausage, I will now post my rit
I present to you.. Mina Fouille!
And more here: http://s741.photobucket.com/albums/x...for%20Charlie/
Since the screens may be a bit messy: She has Elite Imperial Armor with an Obsidian Headwrap, all dyed purple + brown + black I think, just to make it nice and dark Weapons of preference are Tormented Spear + Echovald Shield or a Bo staff. She's a real imperial Ritualist, loving their architecture.
And I heard from reliable sources the concept will be very cool, so I'm very interested in what you come up with! Good luck drawing all the little coins, jewels and skulls
Edit: lol I only now notice that Mina has put her own shield into her forehead, which only the strongest and most spiritual ritualists can!
