edit: will be opening a shiny and new commission thread soon since I can't seem to change the thread title or modify prefixes without continuously bugging Sierra :P

eeks D: I didn't take my scanner into account! This is what I have so far for you, but the scan didn't come out as well as I hoped 
I'll have to see if taking an actual photo will give a better result, but I have to wait for the hubby to come home from his trip until I get my hands on the camera

Verene
Scanners tend to lighten things a lot, yeah. Save it larger next time though 
Hmmm...my Ranger?

thanks I've added miriforest and verene, so I'm closing my call for reference shots until I get through these
Don't worry! I'll post the final versions on deviant. Right now I'm saving my little WiPs on photobucket. I need to figure out how to post thumbnails so the pic doesn't come out so ginormous on here D:
Araiia, still trying to figure out what kind of background for you D: I'm thinking a cherry blossom branch above with petals gently falling around her or Kaineng city background, but that might be too busy... or a Dolyak passed out in the background because of the staff XD
verene, what pet do you use?

Verene
I actually had to go check, I don't use pets often XD Verene has a lynx, though.
Thistle Xandra
oops, I probably should have asked *what pet would you like me to draw with your ranger*, because your ranger is getting a pet in the sketch You want a lynx with her?
You want a lynx with her?
Verene
Yes, lynx is good
(Her old pet before that was a mountain eagle, in case that's easier for you to draw)

Thanks Tommy
I consider all of you artists because you can offer different art options and already have a sense of what you can do :P you're all growing as artists now! I'm still trying to figure what I can do
I consider myself a doodler trying to grow into an artist :P These are my first attempts at char sketches, so there has been alot of erasing! I'm thinking of getting a tablet for x-mas though I want to try coloring these, but I feel like I would only have one shot to do it (which is why I'll take a 'finished' scan of the sketches before coloring) while the tablet would give me more freedom to go back and try again.
Btw, I created a new DA account so it matches my handle here and on wordpress. Now I have to go stalk all you Nolani artists and add you to my friends list (only have raven now)!

Lol, thanks raven! I wish I had some manly toons I could use to model that guy, because WOW, I want to draw him and have him in my notebook!
Thanks so much, verene, those are perfect shots!! <3

OK, I think I've finally figured this DA thing out! I've tried taking shots with my camera, but next time I'll have to use better lighting D:
This is a quick pic I did for Mina's workshop to celebrate Halloween since I didn't draw anything for the holiday:
Updated WiP for Verene's ranger I really need to learn how to get better shots D:

Murke
Hey!
This is Murke.
I'm not sure which of her armors is easier to draw, so you can pick whichever.
http://yfrog.com/f7murkescreens1j
http://yfrog.com/3dmurkescreens2j
As for her hair...it no longer looks like that. She's also rather silly despite this picture. Now it looks like this: http://kalinotora.deviantart.com/#/d2v2bpn
But you don't have to worry about getting to it any time soon. ^.^ Thank you so much for wanting to do an art trade!

Ooh, this is going to be so much fun to try Time to brainstorm on what to do thanks so much for offering the trade! I'll get you some reference shots for my monk tomorrow!

@Thistle - Verene's ranger is looking fantastic! And the demon girl turned out really great. I still need to do my own sketches for this week >_>
Thistle Xandra
Thanks, raven When I have more free time, I want to go back and do some sketches for the first two weeks and do the rest of this week's poses! I didn't know stock photos like that existed, and it's such a great way to practice drawing

That's turning out really awesome!
Thistle Xandra
Thanks! Murke also gave me the great idea to make a copy and color the copy, so once I'm done with the shading, I'm going to see what I can do for color
Thistle Xandra
Thanks, Miriforst! I just noticed this morning that you updated your post I'm going to use your ranger as my model for this pose in Raven's anatomy workshop: http://roguemina.deviantart.com/#/dwor30
I just got my bamboo fun tablet in the mail yesterday, so yours will be my first digital sketch (other than my newbie chibi avatar)! Yay!

Grats on the pen tablet! And I can't wait to see what you come up with that pose. I might do my sketches tonight myself

good work! (gw)
lol, actually the hair was easy once I found the right brush to use I'm still having trouble with shading the face though, but I think I'm getting better after painting Verene's face. Thanks for getting the extra angles for me
I'm just going to post the links to my scrapbook with your current WiPs since I'm working on each of the different sketches bit by bit (I'm learning so much and having a blast) I'll stick to posting the final versions

I love how the ranger turned out and all the chibis are adorable! They actually look like they can be converted to plushie heads. (Not sure why I have plushies in my mind these days..I should draw)
Thistle Xandra
Thanks, you two! I'm planning on trying to make a sexier version of Tessa (key word is 'try') for her next sketch Lol, Mina, I wouldn't have thought about that, but yeah!

Nice work, Thistle. Are those some of Rich Anderson's brushes you're using in Omen's piece?
