I ditched the idea of a trio of heroes and instead focused on Iron in an alternate suit of armor. Just sort of a meet n' greet with one of the Elder dragons up on the Xaquang Skyway, on the rooftops of Kaineng.
FFF BECAUSE THIS IS AWESOME AND DESERVES TO BE POSTED TWICE
It looks like it could be a GW2 concept art, love how you did the dragon rising out of a cloud of smoke and flame. very nice details on the armor and asdfgfg i would love to be able to paint like that

Nothing really new for me. Just wondering if I could make some "presentation". Like screenshots of a real "Behind the scenes video". #08 meaning there's lot of other "Behind the scenes videos". Well.
Tommy's
Haha, that would be awesom. But Guildwars is not a movie you know.. it's all real! Nah j/k really looking forward to seeing #01-07 
You are gonna use colours? :3
Ok so I started yesterday eve aswell, here is a small wippie I made to get myself a view of the setting. It's an assassin who just slayed a dragon. The view is at night, the lightning will come from some stuff the dragon set on fire. There will be a zodiac anymal in the sky or perhabs Kuunie Not sure what I'm gonna add more. Anyway here are my first scetches ~1 hour work.

Nice start 
No no, there won't be any 01 or 07
08 is to make people think other numbers exist ^^'

More progresss. Now gogo eyes, hair, knives, armor ornaments, then thinking how I'm gonna put that flame in there D: Any suggestions? :3 CnC very welcome on her waist/hips, seems a bit odd to me.
Lili Frog
I would put up her right shoulder a little bit. Nothing to say about the waist. She has 'rounded' thighs but in a nice way.
Aeronwen
ummm arn't her thighs as thick as her waist? It seems a little odd to me. Maybe it just indicates strong legs?
Tommy's
Well her waist is a bit turned so that might cause some weird effect. But I think the line from thigh to leggs is a bit too smoothe, could be a bigger curve in there, dunno..
Good point Lilly, gonna fix that D:

Assassins are supposed to be small/thin to lower the chance of getting spotted. But with those legs... :P
Tommy's
Yeah not really happy with those legs either. But hé maybe she can jump very high
Anyway made another thing, think I'm going with this one, like it alot better, more scene to it. Cookie for the person who knows what I used as ref Gonna give Zaithan another pose though.

That dragon from GW2 (forgot name). Cookie please.
Ravenhawk
Looks great Tommy! I like them both but there seems to be more drama in the second one!
lol that dragon pose actually reminded me of a clip in this video I made long ago. Around 2:20 into it:

Yarr its Zaithan (or at least something like that), cookie for you Though I just decided to remove him. Watching Ravenhawks video reminded me of the canthan dragon somewhere in shingjea (stoned) near a Rit naga boss. Gonna try to involve that one, instead of Zaithan, though he is a dragon he isn't canthan enough to me. Doesn't qualify.
EDIT: Ok there is no dragon there :/ Thought so, but noo... Anyone knows where that dragon is? I'm sure there was a dragon in Cantha besides Kuunie

Ok new version Got some different lightning and starting to eastern it up. Getting some more buildings and not sure if I should add some either clouds of fire around the dragon, we'll see..

Silverfire
Hello, I'm new to Nolani, though I've often browsed and admired the creative works in the screenshot and fanart subforums.
I am a beginner at digital art, having only just aquired my graphics tablet last month.
The Canthan theme of this contest really inspired me – Factions was always a special expansion for me (released shortly after I started playing), and I have fond memories of being burnt alive in the open beta weekend.
The prizes are also enticing!
So here is my entry:
[large]
Artist Name: Silverfire
Artworks Name: Sleeping Sea
Created in Photoshop CS3 with Intuos4 Wacom tablet.
As this is also a workshop and people appear to be posting their works in progress, here are a few earlier stages:
WIP [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Woah, very nice Silverfire. First digital piece, and that pretty, you've done quite some traditional stuff before it?
And please frostkisses, don't motivate her to go on with that. I heard her other idea, and whatever the above scene will become, her other idea is way cooler D:
Finaly served my ban, so any PM's gotten about the Canthan Workshop to the people I've send, have not been received, so please send them again :3
Will start editing first post soon with new content and a list of entry's so far

lol sorry tommy, but i dont know what the other idea is. but this one is cute..she should finish it anyway even if she goes with the other idea
even if she goes with the other idea
Silverfire
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome
Tommy, I've previously experimented with watercolour paints a bit, but nothing serious. Digital is a refreshing change (especially as you can paint quite opaque compared to the translucence of watercolours).
