The Canthan Workshop
Lili Frog
Excellent. Nice work with the background. I think you will need moooore shadows on the back of the two guys. Just to contrast more the intensity of light coming from the background (Well, that's what I'll do, don't know what you have in mind ^^)
Tommy's
Background is really good, I so suck at that 
You really concentrated on it, kudos, jealous on that skill of yours
On the 2 guys on the front, like lili said, more shadows D: It might be cool ( I assume the lightsource are the balloons, so it's coming from the front) is to back their backs really dark, and just the edges of them lighter, as you can see the light a bit on those parts. Tossing some thoughts

Progress pic.
Edit: Meh, I'm going to scrap the little shrine. Angles don't look right and his pose doesn't match what I wanted to convey. Going back to the looking out over a cliff idea.

Wow looking good guys!
Okay so I am planning on entering and hopefully this piece will be done this weekend. I just never have enough time during weekdays to have a significant progress.
It is mine and omens' official entry for the workshop.
and yes, there will be a background lol

I used airbrush pen (black or really dark gray color) with (I think) 25%+ opacity , 20% flow in photoshop set to multiply on another layer. That's usually how I start my shading process.

Uh I didn't understand it's digital, really looked pencilish!!
Ravenhawk
oh lol! Well, I think if I'd like the same effect in a pencil drawing I would roughly shade the art and take a cotton ball to smudge the shading

Didn't realize the deadline was already coming up so soon. Anyways, nice progress everyone. Also good to see some new faces coming out of the woods.
Ravenhawk
For some reason the purple sea seem to give a more Canthan feel to it and an air of mystery. The left one made me think of Lion King right away for some reason but they are both looking good!

But seriously looking good.
Any tips on shading cloth... It keeps coming out like plastic :S
Stupid overly dressed suun...*grumble*

Haha, all advice I could give you is look at real cloths Look at where the shadows are. Dont be afriad to make not too nice blended shadows, they mostly are quite stong and stop quickly on cloths anyway. I really find it difficult ymself aswell to good luck with that

Not sure why I'm posting this - Not much has changed
The devil really is in the details with this art stuff huh? Still not happy with Suun's clothes (Looks like he's wearing a hoodie :S) but I don't think I have the time to spend fussing over it. I think is waist sash may be too detailed..or at least too strongly defined compared to the rest though.
I seem to be going around in circles - Everytime I attempt the next section I learn something new, so I have to go back to the previous sections and update them to match. Heh...fun.

oooh I haven't seen this for a while - some lovely pics
Ravens is disturbing tho - I think you better add the background before our imaginations are too naughty (she lost a lense , right?)
looking good Mr G

The cloths on the left guy are already looking really good. I think the starts in the sky look a bit stupid though XD Probably a custo brush? Maybe change those so that the stars form a dragon or a zodiac animal?

Doh! Meant to take those cheap stars out - Just fleshing out an idea with those.
KiyaKoreena
A few more touchups.
Tommy's
I would recommend the nails of his right forfoot, to make them a bit more flat. I think its practicly impossible to stand on the ground like that, making them a bit more flat, makes it look a bit more realistic imo. Maybe some grass a bit higher at his feet, just so it looks more like its really inside the picture, if you know what I mean
And btw, cliff setting is better yeah, really like the setting as it is now

God some of these entries are really looking quite sweet. Wish I was as good as some of these people

howdy hoo all ^^ sorry this is a post about those pieces of art mentioned on the first page.
you know the dragon in "the dragon and his lady"(?) how do you get the lighting effects and the textures of the scale on the underside of the dragon
? are you guys using a specific art program? (since all i can actually afford is PSelements 8), i don't have a scanner or graphics tablet yet so i haven't been drawing solely from that program.

I hope I make it. Haven't drawn as much as I'd like this weekend lol. Here's a WIP, so you wouldn't have to think naughty thoughts :P
Tommy's
Lol why did I think here left legg was a huge hanging boob at first? :O I'm scared of myself now Starting to look pretty
Ok so my entry is getting closer to an end, but I still aint happy with my background, got some different ideas rolling, far out of my painting capacity So I'll have to see that I come up with. Almost finished the boy, and then its foot time, as those look crap, she looks like she has the ancles of an grandma Also CnC the legs of her please, they look odd and ugly but can't place my finger on it. Are they too short? Or just the lower legs too short? Or what lol

It's an awesome pic, but I'm worried it may be forever tainted by our gutter brains now
As for Tommy's pic - Looking great as well. I can sort of see what you you mean with the leg's. I think it might have something to do with the knee's. Either too high or too low.. different heights at any rate. As for mind.. hit a few snares of my own. I just simply don't have the skills yet to put what I want "onto paper". The vast amount of tutorials I have to read are really slowing this whole thing down Not to mention generating quite a few differences throughout the picture. Both Suun and his Adept are done now as is the majority of the background. I need to flesh in a small scene of the city itself behind them - But I'm finding it really hard to get the wooden slum style of Kaineng right. Also need to slap a celestial in the sky - Not sure which. Also need to finish the globe... yeah lots to do with little time to do it! Better hurry I s'pose
KiyaKoreena
Tommy, what height are you aiming for this character to be? IMO, if like 5'9", I think the legs need to be longer at the upper thigh area. If around 5'2" I think the waist and hips need a little adjusting, like it is starting tapering too low right now.
Perynne
@Ravenhawk: Oooh, that's a very beautiful rit. I love the details you have put into her armor and I like how she's dressed like a rit and still wielding an assassin dagger while skulking around the rooftops.
@Tommy's: Hmm... yeah, I think her legs are a bit too short. Also, her waist looks a little long, which can also end up making her legs look too short. Maybe round up her hips a little, starting from the place where her shirt creases at the sides? The hips are wide enough certainly, but if you bring their starting point more upwards, it would help to give length to her legs as well. I love how the little boy looks, he's so cute. :3
frostkisses
think her stance might be a little too wide tommy. and it looks like her right leg is shorter than the other. if youre tryin to make it look like that leg is back further than the other, may need a lil more of a bend to it, like shes walking. other than that its really coming along nicely
i like her makeup

Count this version as my entry.

Tommy's
Thnx for the replies, go and see how to fix all that
And that looks alot better Kiya, the claws and the grass really makes it look one with the envirronement.
Ravenhawk
Wow, Kiya's work looks like it was rendered in a 3d application.
And Tommy, I think for the legs, her torso is a bit too long and the hips need to be raised a bit. ^^ |
