I don't even know what that means, Bebe
And I kept getting sidetracked this weekend since my brother wanted to do some vanquishing. Hoping I can get this done come this week.

Nah, not yet. I haven't really touched the bottom of the lantern or the arms yet.

You don't need to know what it means. :3
The background so far looks cool..
I see Cantha? XD

Pffft, Bebe. And you're indeed right, that is Cantha. Trying to make it obvious that it's somewhere on Shing Jea with a bit of a picturesque look to it rather than the Kowloon City slums look in Kaineng.

cant wait to see it finished

Last wippie before I wrap it up this weekend. Also working on some concept art for the oni for fun which will be posted later.
Went and changed the color scheme so it's not as green, fixed Minami's eyes to closer resemble her reference shots, and added in a nice lighting layer to give a delicate feeling to contrast the scary ogre in the background.
Damn chaos gloves took me forever though. I literally jumped back and forth between three different ideas for the gloves and was pretty much stuck there for the past few days making no significant progress. I'm happy with the current detail in progress because regular chaos glove designs are boring as hell to look at nowadays. Sooooo, here's some swanky new chaos glyphs to replace those boring old gloves.

Looks great Charlie, but some of the later WiPs seem to have a bit too much light blooms. It makes the image not as readable as it was before :\
I think the green looked good btw :P Some hue is always better than no hue

Yeah, I'm still playing around with the lighting effects at the moment - good thing I save my progress every 20 seconds. I just really like that very light hazy effect that lighting filters add. I'm a big fan of them, what can I say :P

Love those glyphic chaos gloves, wtb some ingame :O Though I think you could make them look even more realistic if you'd draw the glyphs a little bit more to the sides so it looks more like the glyphs go all around the arm.
Then there is something strange about the eyes I can't get past. I think her right pupil needs less lightning and should be a little bit more to the left (our left). Because you see a small bit of lighting on her right eye, it suggests that that is her pupil, which makes her eyes stand out of eachother just a bit too much. It's very possible it would look like this in real life aswell, just looks a bit odd :3
I only now noticed how awesome his horns are :O Looks so great. Also the drawing on the lamp looks very good, though I'm still convinced that I would like a mystic lamp without framework better.
But again Charlie, looks so god damn stunning!

I really need to stop working on these so late in the night. My brain can't seem to process things after a certain point in the evening.
You're right, her right (viewer's left) eye has been giving me a bit of problems. Since I made her a bit smaller than Reyla in relative size, detail on her pupil has been going back and forth a wee bit. I'll get on it tomorrow.
As for the chaos gloves, I'm not quite entirely done with the design. I'll be finishing up the design in the next and final shot since I'll be going back, catching all the smaller details and fine tuning the overall picture. In the next shot, there's guaranteed to be A PANTLOAD of more stuff added.
But glad you like it, and thanks for the critique!

Minami
Ooo wicked!
I love the metal shiny jewelry on her! And whoaw do I wish chaos gloves looked like that for real...
I have to agree with Blue, I think the greenish hue was very nice, it made it look more... otherworldly, if that makes sense
I'm working big time on your pic Charlie, but it's nothing compared to your drawing. :/

Awesomeness! *zips mouth shut*

Here's an early doodle I made for a basic idea of what the oni would look like outside of this picture. Like the Flesh Golem, it would do blunt damage, except with a kanabō (steel club). My chicken scratch gives a few more details.
Konig Des Todes
Nice drawing of a typical Japanese demon depiction. What color is it?
(Last bit is a joke on Japanese demons who are almost always mono-colored)

Charlie Dayman
Done. I felt like I was dwelling on the picture a bit and started taking too long. It still looks complete and I'm happy with it.
@Konig: I figure a reddish tone to kind of follow the original Flesh Golem design.

That new lantern rocks D: Really great, please continue like this and stop doing vanquishes with your brother for the greater good

@Yun: you WOULD camp my thread, you spawn camper.
@Tommy: I can't help it, lol. My brother doesn't get much time to sign on because of his work, so that's sort of the only opportunity. And for the moment, I think I'm going to take a stab at pure landscapes for a little bit. I need to jump on that speedpainting bandwagon.

So, if this is your second refined piece using a tablet, one can only imagine in a year's time.

That is awesome! I love the look on Minami's face. She's just like "Oh, go ahead. Try me."
Charlie Dayman
@Frost: Thank you much. I'm really fickle about my ideas in drawings sometimes, though I'm sure it's pretty obvious. A lot of things are always changing, being trashed or added in later down the line.
@Verene: Ha, I thought that would be a proper expression for her since she's in control of that giant mass of dead flesh looming behind her.

Simply amazing 
I agree on this lantern fitting better too.

Wow Charlie, thank you SO much
It looks fantastic!
Minami looks so awesome, controlling minions is the best! ^_^
I love the lighting and the lamp is awesome
Cool thing is, and I didn't want to post this before lest you change your mind, there's a promo photo of my hubby where he holds a lantern, it's similar to your pic ^_^
That brings the cool factor up for me

Thanks for the compliments, guys.
@Tommy: my thoughts exactly
@Tzu: to me, necros definitely need to have a creepy vibe to them. I'm still satisfied how she has a bit of a seductive appearance to her to go along with the terrifying factor.
@Minami: Glad you like it, Minami. A MM seemed fitting for your character since you were playing one when we were all trying to get to Dhuum, but died horribly.
And that picture is all sorts of awesome.
Next up: arena design followed up by my warrior.
