In all the pics in this series, the setting enhances the characters and this one especially so ~ I particularly love your night sky .. and your chop is a new touch :} QFT lol
And the afflicted looks disgusting enough already imho

Since you seem to have read Taiko, I'm sure you'll get the reference. I had just gotten to the incident at Honnoji, and the image of a disorganized night battle with torches, fire and ash popped into my head. Hot damn, the imagery and wording in that book is such an amazing source of scene inspiration.

I'm really trying to give each character their own unique visual story based on their class, and background. Settings certainly make up a big part of that to me. And thanks about the chop remark, even though it doesn't say anything besides my name, lol. @Raven: You've gotta practice your html kung fu a little bit and be a bit of a nerd for old arcade games. @Yasmine: Glad you think the Afflicted are disgusting looking. Most certainly how I want the viewer to feel about them since their look definitely separates the goodies from baddies. @Bebe: They just want to give your ele a hug. A nice big sickeningly explosive hug.
Invertation
... and that was the particularly interesting trick there--creating a hideous fiend that is reupulsive, yet does not distract from the overall composition. How you manage to pull these things together so well is beyond me.
Have you been keeping track of how long a piece of that detail takes?

*picks jaw up off the floor*...amazing charlie!
better and better each time

So to keep from overdoing it on detail, I drew the Afflicted in a very sketchy manner, but still keeping them easily identifiable - this being the reason why I'm so reluctant to go back and add more detail to them.

Even though I worked sporadically, I'd say this took me almost a week. RL work and classes just get me sidetracked. @Frost: Cheers. I may have an idea for your ice ele - assuming you're an ice caster from your avatar.

Oh man. The way you do lighting is so smexy! I thought afflicted had a different eye color...but maybe I just never noticed.
...you planning on doing a mesmer sometime as well? =P

I don't see why not. I actually want to take a stab at ornate fabric designs somewhere down the line. *hint hint, nudge nudge, wink wink* EDIT: I suck at quoting people.

Most certainly considering my html skills are remedial compared to yours since you're a web developer. And to the people interested in having their characters included, feel free to PM me. Screenshots, background stories and any extra info like weapons and armor most certainly help. The current list of characters I'll eventually be drawing, in no particular order, are: -Smilin' Sin -Unnamed Golemmancer -My brother's Dervish -Tzu -Hailfall These are characters with concepts I have written in stone. Toss-ups I have at the moment include Bebe, Frostkisses and a male Sin who I may or may not fill with my own toon.
Invertation
Any ideas for a Ritualist in the somewhere down the line?

Probably. Ritualists seem like a class where cooking up an idea shouldn't be too difficult.
bebe
Can't wait to see more works Charliepai~
And I hope that towards the end you do pick my little ele.. she would be delighted to model for you. xD

Woot! Expect a PM from me today or tomorrow Charliepai. <3 Was going to work on it last night but I ended up drawing instead
bebe
A little OT, regarding posts wayyyy above!
Oh hayhay.. I have a degree in web design (too). ^o^ But I don't do complicated shiz.. just simple&clean.
Del
wouldn't happen to need a pirate mes would you Charliepai?

I hope everyone who is calling Charlie Charliepai is a girl irl :|

They call me "The Confuser".
@Del: I love overly romanticized naval scenes. I would need a char first though, so I can see that as a possibility.
Del
Right here. uses a shadow blade/guardian of the hunt defensive set.
The Real Avalon My monk. Might you be interested?
Charlie Dayman
I think it was Tommy who encouraged me to give some background info on my toon. I've never really done character stories, but it seemed like some innocent fun. Wall of text incoming.
Anyways, work on the Asura is underway. I'll get more work done on it later in the weekend since I've got a few class assignments to take care of.
BladeWind
That is pretty neat Charlie
KiyaKoreena
Very cool. :-)
Shy Guy
Hey Charlie obviously amazing, but to put this into perspective for me, about(just an estimate) how many hours did it take to make your last painting?
But yea, like I said, incredible work as always.
Del
wait, why are the weak low end afflicted on shing jea when the curse came from the unwaking waters area? i don't get it.
Charlie Dayman
Del
i'm just confused since shiro went apeshit faaaar away from hing jea, not sure why the afflicted are there.
Charlie Dayman
Oh, I think it's the time line you've got switched around. You're talking about the first time Shiro was defeated at the Harvest Temple, right?
The bit I wrote is during Shiro's second appearance when it's implied he returned during the cut-scene at Zen Daijun and the Afflicted presence all throughout the island.
Charlie Dayman
The background story never says that Shiro appears specifically on Shing Jea, except for his own personal minions. Where it says that he "returns" or "first appearance since the start of the New Year", that suggests that he's in an unknown location somewhere in Cantha.
Del
ohhh, ok. thanks.
Charlie Dayman
I think I'll take one more character to cap the waitlist at six. At the moment, current favor is leaning towards either Tuna or Invertation.
Once I finish three characters from the list of six, I'll go ahead and start looking for new characters again.
YunSooJin
lol you call her Tuna too?
Chicken of the Seas
Everyone loves the Tuna. It's better than calling me COTS.
