I totally spent less time on the hair than I usually do, I was concentrating on getting the face looking right. But I'm glad that I found a new way of doing both that works!
Thanks everyone.

Just thought I'd post the pencil sketch for my art-trade with Ravenhawk.
Still got a lot to fix in his pose and stuff, but the overall feel of it is there.
Also, working on a simple group drawing of my own GW characters as a kind of on-off thing, something to do when I'm too lazy to focus on anything else:

They will all have armor in the finished version.
Just tried to get their proportions to match and the poses looking good.

You have a few character kids.

PERYNNE! I almost fainted. Holy ..wow....Ran looks amazing so far *__* I made a good decision of leaving him out of that poker drawing, yours is looking so awesome! Love the pose and that intense gaze. Totally him.
I am totally gonna work my butt off with my current multi-character drawing so I can start on yours. I found a pose and got a rough sketch of your sin and then WoW took over and all my art stuff started slowing down..stupid demonology warlocks are so fun to play gah!
I LOVE the multi-character sketch you're having! They look so cute. So jealous of your anatomy skills! It reminded me of this one that Murke did for our guild that I have yet to color:

Wow, that sketch looks awesome! :O Those group pics (both yours and Murke's) looks like it'd be so much fun to do!

Wow Pery *_* I love love the ranger~! and your little group piccie is sooo cute xD <3

Multi-character sketches are great fun. Especially if you can do them in a relaxed way, without fussing over each character too much. The reason I'm making them more simplified and smaller is because I try not to dwell on each detail too long - each character takes me only about 15-20 min to draw completely. Not very long, but when you count the time it takes to do all of the characters... it's still quite a lot.
@Hydralisk: I only have one kid, my monk. She's around 17 years old. My dervish is just very small statured (almost kid-sized, even though she's around 25), and my assassin just acts like a kid occasionally.
@Raven: Haha, no hurry. I've only done the sketch of Ran so far, I probably won't start colouring it until next week. I get easily distracted by games and other things too. I'm very glad you like the sketch though!
Thankeee~ Marsh, Thistle and Aeronwen. <3

Just a wip of my art-trade with Raven. :3 Decided to work on it in greyscale first, then do the colours later. Any comments on the face are very welcome - the colouring is not entirely finished there yet, but I'd love to get feedback on how it looks so far.
Charlie Dayman
Solid, looking pretty mean there.
Thistle Xandra
He looks great so far! Really intense I like the texture you have on his collar and sash!

I love all the details you put into each piece. Even the one with your characters looks detailed to me. =P

Black and white Ran! Still going to colour it.
Raven, If there's any mistakes at this point, please let me know. I've been staring at this so long that I've gone totally blind to it. XD Also, it looks soooo much darker as a .jpg, gotta see if I can fix it for the colour version.
Also, thought I'd post this here too (it'll go to DA as well):
It's a minicomic with Ran and my D&D character Mara. I blame Raven for it.
Ravenhawk
*jaw drops* You're making me ashamed on my part in the Art Trade! I LOVE it Perynne and that is an understatement
And you're to blame too for that comic strip lol. Or shall we just blame Mara and get ourselves off the hook? It makes me giggle everytime I read it. I'm gonna have to have a serious talk with Ran and ask him to be nice next time.

Noooo, don't be ashamed, I love how you drew Tomie! <3
Here's the colour version. I think I'm starting to get more comfortable with colouring black and white drawings... still not entirely satisfied with my technique though.

Haha, perhaps instead of teaching Ran manners, I should just teach Mara some. XD She shouldn't walk around the city picking up random strangers, it's not polite!
And yes, let's blame Mara.

This must be my lucky week, got two awesome drawings two days in a row (the other from Magik). Not to mention featuring almost all of my OCs (except Roma) - Ran, Dani, Mina and Waffle.
You've definitely captured Ran's persona in this picture. It's amazing how you're able to do this with the limited information I gave on the character. I really love this Perynne, beyond words. The background complimented the drawing so well and enhanced that ranger character in him. Thank you so much!
lol! And our characters need some serious therapy , so it seems Though I think I like to keep them that way makes it a ton more fun! I like the idea of a cross-verse comic strip. I might make them myself lol.

Why do you have to be so good at this?! lol
Pery, you have to stop being so busy @.@ must have more arrrrrrt! *drools*
Ok I'm better now
Great work!!! I agree you're getting better at coloring your greyscale. Ran looks great.
Congrats to Raven for being spoiled this week

Looks great Pery, love the effect or the brush you use on this collar and such. Also great redish highlights, I always forget those 
Looking good ^^

@Raven: Crossoververse comics are fun, and even more fun if there's more than one person who "get" the joke (meaning, know the characters).
I'm glad you like my version of Ran. I looked through your drawings of him, and along with the info you gave me I thought that a pose like this would suit him perfectly. I was actually worried that it was too similar to the drawings you'd done before, but well, I'm glad it isn't. :3
@Frost: Don't tempt me! XD After paying for the next two commissions I'm getting of my GW characters, I'm gonna be close to broke. So I may just open up commissions again when that happens... although I've been thinking about doing some cheap irl commissions through DA, since I'm tight on money there too.
Still, gotta get a couple of other art projects out of the way first, before I can even think about the "C"-word. I'll let you know if/when I open commissions again, your character is fun to draw. Thank you for your comment!
@Tommy's: Thanks. I'm actually learning to use the texture brushes more, the brush for the collar was something really simple and different but I found a way to make it work nicely there.

Awesome, Ran came out looking great. The background design is a nice compliment to the piece.

it looks great *wants to draw dudes like that DDD:*
and idk why, but i especially love the last b/w version

Also, your version of Ran is different and much more engaging because he's actually looking at you face to face with his bow and arrow. I really like the foreshortening too which is something I still fail at!

*tempts Pery*
You'll be near broke? What a coincidence, I've got piles of money I have no idea what to do with lol
As much as I love my Frosty, I think it may soon be time to move on to a new character, we'll see how I feel once you get around to that "c" word
And your welcome for the comment.

I'm gonna' post here because the other thread on GW2 is littered with crap. The Sylvari guardian came out really cool. I really like the floral designs on the armor, especially on the breast plate. The photo-textures (I think they were textures) of the chain-mail were also a nice touch.
Perynne
Eh, might as well post this here too since I don't have a thread over at GW2Guru yet. I'll make one, once I have more GW2 stuff drawn.
Sylvari Guardian, for the weekly drawing thread at GW2Guru forums.
@Charlie: Yes, the chainmail is a photo texture. I was going to draw the links by hand at first, and then thought that it would take way too long so I just slapped on a texture. Thank you, glad you like it.
And yeah... the thread is getting cluttered by a lot of random stuff. They're almost as off-topic as we tend to be here. ;P
@frostkisses: GAH! You evil woman. Well, I might have time to take a commission or two in a couple of weeks, depends entirely on how much time my new job is going to be taking.
@Eastern Magik: Thanks! I love drawing guys, I just don't get a chance to do it very often with art-trades or commissions. :3
@Ravenhawk: I've practiced foreshortening like crazy. I teach occasional manga workshops and stuff, and the kids there are ALWAYS asking about the best ways to do foreshortening, so I had to go out and learn it. Thanks for the comment!

Then they ask for comments when I say nothing.
If you don't actively comment another person's work, don't expect to get any back.
In any case, this is still my favorite board on these two sites.

Yeah I think Nolani peeps' camaraderie is pretty hard to equal or surpass. We're like one big happy family here. ^_____^

I kind of had the same problem with the GW2 boards, but it could be it's just because I haven't posted there much. I'm sure that to outsiders, we seem a little cliquey too.
I actually got pissed off at that person when they demanded a comment from Charlie, because I know how annoying behaviour like that is. Didn't say anything because I didn't want to start a fight being a "new" member there and all, but if they'd demanded that from me I would probably say something nasty. Luckily I seem to be mostly ignored over there. :P
I like the fact that people here genuinely take the time to comment on other people's artwork, no matter what their skill level is or if they're the "popular" ones of the board or not. I guess it could be partly thanks to the workshops, because I do recall Nolani being a little like GW2 forums a few years back. The workshops are a good place to learn to appreciate others' art and learn to comment properly.
Still, whatever the reason, you guys are awesome! <3I will take part in GW2's weekly challenges because I love the idea, but I don't think I'll completely hop over there until GW2 comes out (or until the Library completely takes over Nolani).
@Raven: I'll think about making a tutorial.
Just gotta find time to do it at some point, so many other things to draw.
Tommy's
I smelll gossip! D: Lol what happened over there?
The reason I don't post there a lot is because some people on there (Amanelle, AJ, TrigerSad and who not) seem to be there a lot, which I can not keep up with. So to save time I only read the comics and watch new things and restrain from commenting. Nolani is still my home <3
Oh btw Pery, I saw Eureka yesterday. Must admit it was fun to watch

Well, I don't want to be mean to anyone. Let's just say people expecting comments on their own artwork without offering the same in return, and going about it in a rather whiny way. Read page 10 of the Art Challenge if you want the full scoop. :P
Yeah, I have a difficult time keeping up with things there too. I guess it's because it's so much more active and full of people than Nolani is at the moment. When GW2 comes out I'll make more of an effort to get into the swing of things, but until then I'll hide away here where it's safer.
Tommy's, yay for pseudoscience! Just finished watching season 3 of Eureka, the science just keeps on getting wackier. XD But it's all in good fun, kind of like watching a fantasy show where the word "magic" is replaced by "science" but they still keep all the brillaint WOOOOSH effects for show.

lol, I lost track of that thread and just started to look through picture submissions without even reading. I see what you both mean though.
Yeah a tutorial would be awesome but take your time. I am equally excited to see new works from you anyway

I've had an account on GW2G since the day it opened up, but I've never actively posted there. I prefer Nolani. You guys are more awesome ^^

This board feels more art related than the other one. The GW2 board to me feels more like 50% art related, and 50% OT chit-chat. I also can't keep up with everything going on there.
