Farai is looking seriously awesome! That scythe looks great, especially the flame effects!

(Thanks again for the tip on monitor calibration )

As you see in my prefix, commissions are open again, yet only for a specific type of drawing. See the first page for info

This is an example of the type of drawing I'm doing at the moment, featuring Eryn Hope you like it Morag, ref from the database.



I also added the option of taking a colored one for 30 zaishen silver coins. That would look a bit like this:

If you don't mind doing OC's sign me up for three slots? Ram, Dog, Monkey Non-Colored

If I gotta chose just one though then just the Ram would be awesome.

gahhh; me want q.q

but i have to hoard my coins for more storage space >.<

(since its here anyways, whats the going rate for coins now that they're tradeable?)

Using the value of a heavy bag as a base at 24e I figured a Gold coin to be ~15k (rounded up). A tenth of that would equal 1.5k, the estimated value of a Zaishen Silver coin.

( I trade a lot )

@ Verene, remember they are tradeable now. Nevertheless, thnx for the interest

@Gattsu05, lets leave it to just the Ram for now, and give others a shot, after that I'll decide I'll do the other 2 as well

@DBAA, you can always post your character and see if you get lucky

@Aeronwen : DDD I really appreciate it ^^
If I can find time later this week/weekend (school needs to end x___x) I can try to round up another 15 coins to split with Aero and bump it up to a coloured piece :3
I can get the screenshots and all the other stuff you need near the end of the week (thursday or friday), so it might be better to start on Gattsu's and Drelias' first.

again, thank you for the kind assistance aero! ^^

Looking great so far, Tommy! I'm excited to see it colored! I love the pose and the armor is blended rather well.

That looks pretty damn epic with the color. So dark and beautiful! The grayscale with the spot color looks amazing, thank you! I love it!
I'm sitting in game right now, ign Drelias Melaku. I'll probably be logged in for quite awhile so I can get my payment out to you and Nian.

Colored versions. Made 2 because I like a bit of a colorwash feeling more, but I'll leave it up to DBAA which one he likes more




My favorite is the second

I actually like the first one the most. Pops out more.

I prefer the second only because it's a ranger. Vibrant greens and golds like that would stand out too much for a class that would prefer to blend in with the surroundings.

Oo, the level of detail is lovely! The tatters, especially, are very cool. As DBAA said, you can see how long he's been adventuring - gives it a bit more life.

i like them both ^^
The first one has nice strong colours, but the second one feels like it could be on a tapestry or something since its washed out. Both totally awesome

Ill have to find something to tip you with ingame ^^

The second are obviously his everyday clothes and the first is his Sunday Best. He needs both

Death's Ranger came out looking great. I also like the first piece a bit more - the darker and more saturated colors definitely make the design pop out more. The colors on the second piece somewhat match how neutral the color is of the paper texture. Some of the information tends to get lost.

You're definitely improving in terms of posing. I think you can start pushing them even further to add even more character and dynamic to them.

Been ill last week so I took the best medicine ever; playing guildwars. So little progress last few days. Starting to feel better again, so trying to pick up the commissions again.
Today did some drawing for myself, mostly trying out some new techniques (used black Indian ink, fountain pen, watercolor pencils and some pastel pencils I believe). Was definitely a fun experience. Mostly orientating on a commission of a cute doggie I got coming up, seeing what style I want to use.
Here are some pastel pencil drawings. They look a lot better over here, the scanner really killed it. Gave some white highlights with some chalky thing I have, but the scanner didn't really understand that. So use your imagination a bit
Though they are only pencil drawings, a NSFW spoiler, because of nipples and other private areas showing (sort of )




Edit: And finally finished my part of the art trade with Nian!

Did you mainly use the chalk to accent the chest and thigh areas? I might be able to see it if the the case.

The other piece came out great, especially the hands. Those are always such a pain to draw.

Nian's drawing came out looking great Tommy! Love your anatomy sketches as well. They really remind me of the renaissance period drawings, Sorry can't help with the scanner woes..>_<

Whenever I scan, I usually change the settings to extremely dark since the bulb tends to remove detail from things like sketches or watercolors.

Anyways, the anatomy pics came out good. Definitely keep working at them to prepare yourself for your upcoming art class. Even do some sketches that focus entirely on just one muscle group - i.e. upper or lower thigh, biceps, triceps, etc. It's good to look at everything in a single group, though specified studies help expose the smaller nuances in muscles.

And Nian's monk certainly looks different from what I last remember. It has a nice pastel quality to it. She could use a few more highlights on her skin to really bring out her volume and shape.

Really liking the design of the Ankh and the distant background lighting.

Thank youuu<3 It's beautiful! I love the light blue, the healing spell and the background which makes me think of the sea. I already packed my PC away for moving today but now I am at work and I could see this. Thank you so much. <3 You put much effort into it and I love it to bits~~ It represents exactly the kind of state of mind I needed right now because to me it spells out things like "hope and healing" and both are much needed in my life. You're a sweetie. *hug*
