Thanks Frost and Shy <3

Decided to do Sera's commission next. Well, here's a pose sketch for approval...I have a feeling that I may be getting a little too ambitious with the background idea. If I could not pull it off, I might use a stock picture/GW Screenshot X_X But I'll try painting it lol. I just really got this image in my head when I think of Sera's commission description.

As opposed to the Sylvanas pic, this will be during daylight. And she's supposed to be sitting on a rock..which looks invisible atm =p

Anatomy looks nice, not an easy possition you give yourself. About the animal... not totaly sure what it is, but I bet a wolf. Though atm if looks a bit more like a cow without udders I would look for a bit of more reference. If it is a wolf, I would lower his head a bit and maybe make his head a bit flatter.

Haha yeah. I noticed that the wolf seems off too but this preview is just mainly for the overall concept to be approved. I fix a lot of stuff once I get into details.

Sera's WIP. Going for a cleaner lineart this time. Should've had more progress but the last two days I have been in a coloring slump (for some reason I could only do linearts and just never liked my coloring lol). Hopefully the slump is over now lol. Still haven't worked on the details. Just basic colors and shadings.



Here's another I am working on right now really slowly. More of a personal art thingy related to a certain storyline I am collaborating with guildies. I think this drawing is the culprit for my coloring slump cos I was trying to color it comicbook style but couldnt get anything to work out to my liking...:

Now thats more like a wolf ^^ Starting to look real good. Her armor and boots looks great, just her face needs a bit more attention. Clouds look really nice, did you make them yourself or did you use preset brushes? Love the thin lineart you have now, would not make it much thicker. You get better every piece imo, keep going!

Thanks Tommy! Yeah I did the clouds with a custom brush and I added tonal values to it. Like the sky color set to multiply at the bottom and a yellowish white in color dodge mode at the top (yellowish white because of the assumed sunlight somewhere..but then it looks white anyway lol).

I havent focused on the face yet (which is different from my usual since I always focus on the face first). What I am trying to do this time is work from the background first.

I am actually feeling a bit nostalgic working on Sera's drawing because I used to draw sceneries and landscapes when I was a kid. I am going to update how I color blocked her chestpiece. I got it all wrong I just realized it now lol.

The line outlines look good. Liking the composition in the second piece - definitely a step forward from your previous drawings.

Sera's commission is done ^_^. Thanks Sera!

I tried a "painted look" to convey a more serene and relaxing atmosphere.


Might work on Yun's next and practice on dynamic poses. I may need to do an artwork before hers though. Will keep you guys posted.

Yup! I made a bit of progress in that one the past few days. Trying yet another style which I think suits me better. If you noticed in my pencil drawings, I shade a lot and this style is more on perfecting the shadings first

Thanks Frost! Will do! I got three more left.

I feel bad cos I did another entry cos I got inspired to draw my mesmer again (she's supposed to be a vamp that could open portals to another world so she fits the theme of Vampires in Wonderland -the contest),. Background inside the portal is a stock image used with permission.

This was done relatively quick and I just let my imagination fly.

I should be doing my commissions.




I really promise to work on commissions now, I think I have enough drawing vamps lol. (I know I don't draw the fangs but it kinda ruins the pic sometimes lol). I actually tried to start drawing Yun's but I think I want another pose for her now. ^^ I also feel like starting omens and Sante's. Maybe I'll try to do initial sketches of them and see what I like best.

Sante's commission is done. One thing I really love about doing commissions is it makes me draw different stuff. I would never have thought of drawing a psychotic facial expression before now! Thanks Sante!

Yun's is next. Here's a preview I got some ideas on the kind of background I like as well. I'd like to convey a battlefield scene if I could pull it off (and if Yun is fine with that lol)

Definatly your best body drawing so far. You should try to keep your lines slim this time instead of thick, think it will look some nicer. But thats taste.

Thanks Tommy! Yeah I plan to create a cleaner lineart on top of the sketch, it's just that it's hard for me to start with clean lines on the get go lol.

Thanks Frost! I decided to keep the semi rough edges/lineart to give the drawing more character (I'm no art expert but sometimes I like roughness esp if I am trying to depict a female warrior ).

I know Yun only asked for a sketch but I am going to color this and give her both the sketch and colored version

So glad you like it Yun! Sorry if I went ahead and shaded it without hearing your feedback on the lineart first (just got this strong urge to draw her today for some reason).

I am having too much fun with this drawing..It's done! I'll just need to spend time refining it but yeah ^^ Coloring went faster than I expected

A HUGE thanks to you guys! I finally got my FoW armor.


Now I am working on my ranger's FoW armor. For that I am reopening commissions since I am (unofficially-need her feedback first) done with Yun's drawing! Will be working on Omen's next who is the last of the first batch of commissions



I took out the sketch category in the first page. Other than that not much has changed. Will only be taking five at a time and will close again so I can focus better

Again, thanks a bunch! Especially for all the techniques I've learned so far while doing commissions and the advise and support from the very talented peeps of Nolani *hugs*.

Four slots still open for new commissions. Please check the first page .Yun's pretty busy so her's is kinda hanging for now but she gave me feedback and I made minor changes on the art.

I will be starting with Omens this weekend.


And...

Finally colored that one lineart I had a few pages ago.

Supposed to be a mock comicbook cover for a certain storyline I am collaborating with guildies:

Front page updated, two more spots open unless someone backs out ^^"

Anyhow, I did not disappear. It just so happened that I had to do some impromptu hand/anatomy tutorials because I did not use a reference for this pose (yeah I am becoming braver now lol)

Here's Omens' preview lineart. I still need to add more details such as the jewels in the hair and skirt, gloves, etc (plus I still need to fix the lineart on the skirt):

Ignore the random lines, they are on different layers >_> and lineart will be black (or surrounding color) not blue in the final version

Reserving spot.

Question; how much does something like Yasmine with the white moa cost? 70k, correct?

EDIT
Alright I want my ranger to look quite badass with her black wolf which should look aggressive.
If you can make her start her own burning arrow with her hands that would be really cool. Like she has her fingers on top of the arrow and the top of the arrow is on fire. (If you know what I mean, if not I'll try to draw an quick example).

Here's a picture:


EDIT 2
Oh yeah, maybe like it's night and the light effect from the arrow can be seen on the characters.
