Wintersday Workshop 2010
33 pages • Page 11
Well they have I Spy books, which is why I was asking. =P Like this: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xAH8loSGYn...0590450874.jpg and this http://www.scholastic.ca/ispy/books/...treme_samp.jpg
So I wanted to do something similar. =) Oh well, I'll just put it down for now I guess. =P
Name: Chicken of the Seas (Tuna)
Idea for entry: An I Spy Wintersday book. Or some other parody of a classic Christmas story.
Genre of art: Scrapbook/Real life crafts
Progress gallery will be here: http://anxietypatient.deviantart.com/gallery/27269131

Back from a long and busy weekend! I shall try to be active today and draw draw DRAW.
@Al'zarigus: Very nice WIP of Kuunie! I love the idea of her as a red-nosed reindeer pulling a sleigh. It's a bit hard giving more constructive comments on a drawing that's a bit blurry though. Perhaps try resting the camera against a table for stability, and shining a lamp or something against the drawing itself so it'll show better? Can't wait to see more!
@GeminiJuSa: Glad to see you're entering too.
I like your WIP sketch, the background looks lovely and the composition is well done. Her legs could be a tad bit longer - right now, they look a little small compared to her upper body. Otherwise I really can't find anything to comment on, it's looking so nice.
@Death By An Arrow: Awww, the bears are so cute. :3 I do agree that there's a lot of empty space behind them, and the previous suggestion of adding a Christmas tree or something behind there sounds good. You can also just crop the image so that there's less background visible - it would shift the focus exclusively on the cute bears.

alright, here was my solution to the offbalancing issue; dA Link
I figured id throw in the snowman that was suppost to summon when the polar bear "used" the snowman summoner. I also added in some more rocks to the left side to work in some radial balance (i don't think I've ever used that term... not even when we learned it in art class o.O)
Cropping/growing the image could work as well, and might actually be a more viable solution. I just know it needs to stay this size ratio because it matches my bristol board exactly and makes transferring easy. :P

@GeminiJuSa: I love the concept, everything looks good, though I have to agree with Verene that her torso looks a bit out of proportion. I think I'd take advantage of it and make her torso a bit smaller, I think that would balance out the picture a bit better as well.
@Death By An Arrow: Good lord that's so precious! I can't wait to see the finished product!
@Verene: I love winter - though I live in Phoenix. :P
Okay guys here's my WiP, I updated the ribbons a bit and redid where they characters are. Hopefully they balance out the picture, they play off the whole background theme of winter being a competition between Grenth, Dwayna, and their respective followers, and also add in a few fun elements for all the memories.
I still have a bunch of little details I want to add, but I think this is pretty much my finished layout, unless anyone has some convincing nitpicks.

:3 But like Pery said, perhabs make her legs a bit longer.Thank you all for your nice words
I like a style where the legs aren't anime long, because in real life, very few women have that long legs. I didn't think the legs were short at all actually, but the feet might be a bit small now when I think about it, it's just that my necro has small feet on the avatar too... Maybe her legs look shorter because she's got thighs? Her left leg (the right for us) is at a bit of an awkward angle though...
@Verene: I am gonna change the mouth for many reasons. Originally she wasn't smiling and I decided to change that to a calm slight smile at her little Bone fiends, just to make the feeling more cosy.
@Tommy: Thank you ^^ Though I haven't developed anything digitally... Now I'm drawing by hand (I've actually lost a lot of skill on that :/ ) so it's a bit more forgiving but my scanner hates me for some reason
You all like the Bone Fiends?

@GeminiJuSa: Yeah, I dislike the super-long, super-thin anime legs too. I still think the legs look a little too small. They don't necessarily need to be longer much, just.... well, compare the width of her shoulders to the width of her hips. Her hips are tiny in comparison, so it makes the top part of her tower over the lower parts. It's not bad to have wide shoulders on a woman, but it can easily make her look unbalanced in the drawing. So if you want to keep shorter legs, then you may want to balance it out by making her hips wider as well, so that her lower body is able to support the top.
Also, not sure how much realism you're going for in height/proportions, but her head is a little too large for more realistic proportions. It looks great for more cartoonish proportions though.
The bone fiends are very, very cute! I like. <3
@Operative14: Looking good! The dark elf and grench on one side bothers me a little though, because they're a really dark spot in an otherwise white area, and really draw attention to themselves. The snowman on the other side is not dark enough to steal the attention from them for long, so you may want to tweak the colours a bit there.
@Death By An Arrow: That looks a lot more balanced! Can't really find anything to comment on at this point.

Question: They mention in rules only 1 entry per person, but does this mean 1 entry per household? So if you have brothers/sisters/friends who live in your house and have their own guildwars account, they simply cannot enter the contest because someone is that house is already?
also, why no rhode island?

also, why no rhode island? I would imagine it's 1 entry per 1 person. For example, your sister shouldn't be disqualified just because you want to enter.
As for Rhode Island, here's the long version:

As for Rhode Island, here's the long version:
1 entry per person is just that. Per person, not per household. Rules usually have to be very word-specific, so they would use the word "household" if it was meant to be like that.
I don't think they'd be so mean as to restrict siblings' possibilities of entering. :P
Dunno about Rhode Island. There always seems to be some places that are outside of the normal contest laws.

WIPs:
The colour version DOES NOT show the colours I will be using, I just wanted to see how the colour scheme I had in my mind would work. Came to the conclusion that it will still need some work. Perhaps having a finished greyscale to work with would make it look better.
I will be doing the basic lighting and shadows in greyscale, then the magic effects and textures in the colour version. Also, thinking that it will need some more Wintersday elements, like presents and such... but not sure where I should place them or if they'd make it look too crowded.
