Hey sent you a message about wanting to change the armor thats used. Here are new screenshots if it's not to late.

I'm back!

Before I finish my owed art though, I'm testing a new style that I thought about during the trip.

Here's the first one, a semi painty lineart with solid colour background and white flats.


Same lineart, now with grey cel shading:


Flat colours:

Wonderful shading, and a really pleasant style. Are you using new tools or is it more of a new technique?

I haven't suddenly acquired new skills overnight (or over 2 weeks without a tablet for that matter), it's a different application of the techniques I already know :]

The way I draw faces has changed a bit, though. I was looking through some of my old sketch books (yes, once upon a time I drew with pencil and paper! >_>) that I brought along during the trip, and I was surprised at how much I still like some of those drawings. I've lost/replaced some of my old knowledge, and now I'm trying to bring it back.

I've updated my first posts as well as the waitlist.
If anyone is still interested in art, I'm re-opened now.

Will start working on Aycee's request Friday afternoon (I tend to complete smaller requests first.)

Here's my screenies for the art-trade Let me know if you need anything else! Everything is artist's choice although I usually portray her as hot-headed, a little vain (hence the butterfly mirror) with a love of flowers, fire, and a good tan.

haha, her hair is a bit tricky, so do whatever you need to do to simplify it XD

Blue or blue-violet eyes and I'm open to whatever style you're feeling up to doing

I got frustrated with my lack of faceroll-capable heroes on my second account today, so I logged off and drew for most of the afternoon |:

Having said that I'm working on a 800x600 waist-up of your ele, plus partially hand drawn background. Pretty happy with how it's coming out so far.

~5 hours nonstop
OMG, I LOVE this! *hugs, hugs, HUGS!* You are so amazingly talented, and I can't believe it only took you 5 hours to make something like this! It's such a wonderful surprise to see it done and so fast!

I've been working on my half for 3 hrs nonstop and I only have a half-idea and unfinished and messy lineart that needs serious sprucing XD Do you want my half posted at the end as a surprise or do you want me to post wips as I move along?

I like how I drew the face, although I'm most likely not going to be able to replicate it in the future. >.>

Eye color and most of the hair color (like if you wanna do interesting highlight effects that'd be interesting) and length

Currently trying to work up the courage to start on either Xiaquin or Unlucky Slayer's large requests. I have quite a big stack of real life (and ingame) problems bothering me right now, though.

Drawing Warvic's chibi request right now.

---

I have a strange request to put forth. I was working on filling my HoM yesterday, and purchased several unded minis. I also placed bids on a couple Guru auctions. Today I got an in-game PM and I realized that I had won one of the auctions... but I already reached the number of minis I needed. I didn't want negative feedback so I still went through with the trade, but it's really bothering me now because it wasn't cheap and it's now dead weight in my inventory.

The mini is an unded King Aldebern (5th year gold) and I bought it for 65k - would anyone be willing to buy it off of me for 60k? I'll also throw in a free chibi or non-chibi headshot request as a thank you. I'm not concerned about making a profit here, I just want very badly to cut my losses.

edit// sold ingame for 60k

I'm terrible at trading and managing money as you can see.

edit: here is Warvic's request.

Sorry to hear about your juggling, and for what it's worth I'm also pretty bad at trading, so I end up doing very little of it if any.

Lovely new commission, the cheeks are adorable.

aww, she is a cutie I love how you color hair!

I just checked my storage and have *just* enough MoH and WS for an opressor's weapon if you still need one for your HOM and want to trade that for King Aldebern

I _just_ sold the mini ingame for 60k a few minutes ago x:

I have a completely empty weapon rack right now though, so if you ever want an additional commission I'd be happy to draw for an oppressor's weap. o.e

aww, i was just a wee bit too slow XD I just back to the game after a long break so I'm still trying to figure out what I have and what I still need for a full HoM. If I decide to pass filling up HoM so I don't need the gold, then I'll totally save the weap for another commish from you

Whoooa, I just stalked your HoM and you have a lot of statues! You can max out heroes/pets really easy and you're just 1 mini away from 50 minipets!

I was going to offer to come along for protector/guardian/vq titles, but it looks like you have that covered haha.


I only plan on reaching 40/50 to get the Flameseeker title, I hate (solo) title hunting way too much to go any further D:

haha thanks! I burned out on the game myself getting 30/50, and now I'll probably burn myself out again trying to get to 40/50 XD I doubt I'll ever get 50/50, but 40/50 sounds like a good goal btw, I totally hate cartographer... if I can get to 40/50 without getting that done, that would be awesome!
