Thank you Aero! <3
Oh btw Perynne, don't forget to upload the little comic strip you did whenever you get the chance XD. I really love that one lol. Just realized that GRB76 in DA drew Mara. I love that pic!

Yaaaay! Keeping an eye on the thread so I catch whatever fixes you make. 
And heh, ever since this art-trade, I got back in to GW and I've been playing pretty much exclusively on Tomie. Trying to get her through Nightfall now, I'd forgotten how much fun she's to play with. :3

Nice work, Raven. Always been a fan of those dagger skins.

ok, i have to ask, did you use "double layer + overlay mode" trick on the second one? 
(sorry, can't help it, whenever i see something i try to imagine how its been made :O ) Whatever you did, it looks even better then the previous version

lol okay. I might...The small drawing I am working on right now may be a good example that I can use.
Ravenhawk
So I got sidetracked...I blame Perynne

lol I hope I keep track of what I am doing.
And I really have a habit of making something I thought would be simple more complicated. I tend to get ideas as I work on something.
I already drew the bg (first attempt at speed painting background really) but I am hiding it for now

The profile looks good, though there's just two parts I think need some tweeking. That little dip (whatever it's called) beneath his nose can be lightened and angled forward a bit. Right now, it looks like his upper lip is pushing out a bit too far because of it.
Also, his cheekbone is angled too far back. The angle it's sitting at right now is more fitted to a straight on front view. It should be angled a bit closer to the edges of the mouth.
This skull profile gives you a good idea of how the bones sit in a profile view:

EDIT: Oh, and his ear could be moved forward as well. All easy fixes, and you should be golden.

Thanks Charlie! *hug* I knew something was off with the gap between the nose and the lips. And thanks for pointing out the rest. *goes to fix*
EDIT -
Fixed version. But I need to sleep so may still have mistakes. hand is still meh..lol Changed the bg to gray to see the contours better.

Perynne
Wooooo, more Ran! \o/ He's looking hawt, you're really getting good at doing side profiles. At least to my eye there's nothing wrong with your updated side profile, it's looking very nice.
Ravenhawk
lol thanks Perynne. I also noticed that I tend to draw males looking to the right (esp on profile view) while females towards the left. I dunno if that says something about which part of my brain dominates my artistic side but I was born left handed and got forced to be a righty and so now I draw with my right hand.
Started typing the tutorial text and 895 words so far...man, this is going o be lenghty. I wouldn' be surprised if the viewers are gonna fall asleep before they even finish reading. It's probably gonna be a multi-part thing.
EDIT - decided to do the tutorial on my next one where I have an idea of the overall picture of what I want to draw (CLUE: Either QUeen Jennah from Destiny's Edge or a ver2 of Mina's redesigned armor. I got both rough sketches already). Having a sketch pad handy is kind of a double edged sword...I get to draw concepts/ideas I get at will...then I am left with so many things that I want to finish digitally >_<
My thinking process for this new ranger art is a bit random and confusing that's why I decided to skip it. =P
It goes like this in a super duper compact nutshell
-Rough sketch. Looks decent. Sure let's color it
-Scan, load in Photoshop, Fixes in anatomy, rendering, shading
-Oh what background do I want, *gets an idea and decides to draw it*
-Drawing just the head and shoulder looks boring with the background I chose. *adds bow and hand*
-Oh lighting needs to be fixed. doh.
-And then I get to coloring lol.
If you're wondering about the poker drawing, I am still planning to finish it lol

Here you go Perynne, I mean for Mara =P Background is still pretty rough so does everything else.
Thanks again Charliepai for the critique.
Feel free to let me know if you find anything else..This has become one of my monthly pieces that I want to perfect as much as I can. I am gonna try to add some more embers flying around later on as inspired by Charlie's Heart Break-' *ahem* I meant 'Helmet Breaker'

Thistle Xandra
nooooo, but I was looking so forward to your tutorial now!
On a side note, totally envious on how you did that braid... Are you doing the GW diva: hunk addition series now since Tommy won't? I guess it wouldn't be 'diva' though... And we'd have to include Pery's gorgeous version of Ran... so our GW hunk series is now GW hunks: Ran?

For the braid, I just looked up pictures of braid ^^ . This one in particular http://motograph.deviantart.com/art/Braid-58475795
DO EET! I am serious. You're so good at this. If I hadn't buried myself with to-do list this year, I'd do it as well. Right now I am still one artwork behind. I need two pictures for my Calendar project to finish this Feb. I also want to work on Nian's art trade. So many things I want to draw, so little time.
If I could draw every idea I had right away, we'd have Nolani Girls sailor soldiers at this point (yes, I seriously considered this. In fact, I had Tzu sketched as Sailor Moon for some reason >_<).

Wooo, can't wait for the tutorial! I love seeing tutorials of other people's artistic processes. Your Ran is looking good so far, I like the idea of having the burning forest in the background with embers flying around. That's a really awesome place ingame and would be great to draw someday.
Hm...
Maybe for Invertation's landscape contest.... :3 That sounds wicked. Uh..there's a burning forest place in GW? I didn't know that? O-o I basically decided to deviate from the usual ranger-y backdrop of lush forest and wilderness. I wanted to combine the expected and unexpected so I came up with - Burning Forest. I'll post the stand alone background once I am done because I painted the entire thing.

Oh wow..now I am motivated!
lol, we'll see what Charlie does.
Tyrni, I can probably get the gold if I get my mesmer to don her prettiest dress and stand in Kamadan selling ectos. rofl. I can imagine her glaring at me right now right beside Ran =P.

LOL! Well I have a pretty bad habit of associating popular characters with other characters I am familiar with. I was talking about Sailormoon with Overlord of GW2Guru in my art thread and just came up with some weird association of some of the well-known Nolani girls and their Sailor Soldier counterparts (based on personalities and/or looks in general).
Sailormoon - Tzu. Blonde hair and the braids gave it away plus I always have the impression that Tzu is like one of the most popular (if not, the most popular) Nolani girl character here.
Sailor Mercury - Katherine Salmatori. I remember Sailor Mercury to be pretty studious which kinda fits the teacher persona Katherine has.
Sailor Mars - Was a toss up between Mina and Frost Kisses. Might pick Frost actually because Mina is also similar to Sailor Pluto so I can probably give her that.
Sailor Venus - Minami's necro. Fashionista and likes pretty things. Your all around girl that you can count on.
Sailor Jupiter - Perynne's ranger kind of remind me of her. Especially after reading her profile.
Sailor Pluto - As mentioned, she also reminds me of Mina - looks and personality wise but the more serious side of Mina. The feisty/short tempered side is more Sailor Mars . lol
