finally got my posting issue resolved so i will update my post tomorrow with all my info.

Five spots taken , temporarily closed for now unless someone backs out obviously.

Upcoming New Commissions:
RAIDEN KILLER - Full body (details in PM)
Sante_Kelm (awaiting details)
frostkisses (awaiting details)
InfestedHydralisk (Portrait + pet)
omens (awaiting details)



I am taking forever at the moment cos of my busy schedule and I am having one of those times when my drawing is a bit of in a rut (so I am taking longer than usual and I get tired too soon so I sleep early lol).

Omens' art is coming along nicely. Still got a ton of stuff to add but it's moving along

That Rit looks very nice, you are really improving at this.

Good good
Be careful with the belly. I mean, with the ribbings. If you don't want her to look too skinny.

That rit looks great ....I like her smile

Definitely my favorite so far.

Thank you guys. It is done Thanks so much Omens!

Wow that came out really nice!

Thanks Hydra! I might work on Frost's next since while practicing poses I happen to get an idea of a concept for her. Here's a really ROUGH sketch.



I might start on it this weekend.

I love the poses you give your artwork! Looking forward to seeing this one complete.

I really like it so far Raven

Thanks! And Sante, no worries still got enough to make me busy

A friend from the Forever Knights[FK] requested a drawing before her GW Wedding this Saturday so I had to make one real quick . It's Aria and Aven

Omen's pic came out nice - nice background textures. Keep it up, you're definitely improving.

People marry in GW too?

Recent finished art for a DA contest..had to admit I got lazy with the bg..but was trying to meet a deadline >_>


Frost's WIP. Will fix the hand =P

tee hee i love the one of your mes.. thats an awesome pic. hope you win

You did that mes very well, I really like that one!

Btw, I got a friend who's very interested in having a character drawing.
Is there room for 1?

Hello, I'm that friend of hydralisk. i actually just made an account here just for this.
I have quite a big idea in my head whitch really would be easier to say in pm. This is ofcourse if theres any room for me. But i can say that i do want abit much done, but i will pay alot. I'm actually going to quit GW and i'd like this picture to be like a goodbye. Since im quiting i obviousley have much k to pay. So thats my idea. I hope you reply. Thank you.

Sure I can definitely make room. As long as you don't mind waiting ^_^ ( I usually work on drawings depending on what inspires me so I cant really guarantee the order)

Thanks!

Preview of Frost's commish:

Very nice! Specially the shading on her face, give a nice darkish evil look. You really do improve every single picture I should practice more too, blah so little time lately and so lovely weather so just chillin in the sun.. ~.~

Very nice

I love the shading and the background

@Aeronwen - thanks I am glad you liked it!

@Tommy - Thanks! Frost wanted the dark look and I am glad to know that I have achieved it without making the pic too dark ^^ . And yeah I always look for tutorial and adjust my techniques. I also tend to bother some really good artists in DA for advise and then I combine different techniques that I gather to create my own style

Oh and here's Frost's final art without the watermark. Thank you Frostkisses!

thank YOU raven!
i adore it..new desktop background

^^ not at all

oooh it's so awesome It truly is fantasticly awesome art :3 And you get more awesome for every pic

Thanks! Here's a couple of stuff that I changed from my previous artworks in case some people could use the tip/info.

1. Tried a semi-lineless look

I usually get scared of overwriting/erasing my lineart..but my linearts are so awkwardly crooked so that kind of backfires on me sometimes. I end up spending too much time smoothing out the lineart when I could've just easily painted over them and get a more fluid look. I dont know had I stayed left-handed if this would be a little different for me (was born a lefty..but was forced to be right-handed which is the hand I use to draw. I still use my left hand for chopsticks..which is an indication that my left hand could've been more precise if I drew with it. lol maybe I should experiment ).

I am not trying to go the shortcut route though. Some artists feel very comfortable and work so damn well with outlined drawings. I just find them too bothersome in a way that it actually kills my momentum and I end up working on drawings longer than they are meant to be. So yeah expect a more line-less style from me in the future.

This is more of a style choice than anything. Like I said, I am still in the process of getting my real identity in drawing and so far, semi-lineless art is what I prefer and it meshes with my style well.

2. Reflected light as outline - If you compare Frost's art with the mesmer in oby armor one, this is the difference. You'd see that I finally gathered up the confidence to use highlights as outline on certain spots of Frost's drawing. I got this advise from an artist in DA when I asked for opinion. It gave the drawing a whole new dimension and worked so well with the lighting I used in Frost's art.

If I can summarize what I wrote... The main thing that I changed in this latest art is that : I gathered more confidence. Something that we can all achieve especially after lots of practice so yeah don't stop painting

And I still havent decided on the next commission art. Let me check the list later and see if a concept strikes my fancy.

Stuff has been hectic last week and I really didnt get the chance to work on art. Then today I thought that it's been awhile since I drew portraits and male characters. Been mostly experimenting on this one so it looks kinda rough..never did color blocking before..I was thinking of refining this but then I overwrote my layered version with the merged version.. So this is it for this one -_-"

It's my ranger



Next commish would be Raiden's. I already have a pose drafted for his necro

@Frostkisses

Wow as an avatar that looks great. Gj on the cropping. And great job as always ravenhawk! Although the legs look to be a bit skinny, or perhaps its the placement of the knee.

Thanks chicken
Raven cleaned it up for me tho, mine gota lil blurry while I was cropping

Yup, I cropped Frostkisses' avatar. Also added a white 1 px border and sharpened the image a bit.

Yeah I realized that I made the thighs too thin/long in Frost's commish after awhile. So I tried to correct it now. Here's Raiden's preview. I actually restarted the art because I didnt like the original pose I used anymore and couldnt bring myself to draw it lol.

Lovely hair, great pose but why is she wearing a nappy?

btw like the ranger
