Woah Tommy you're getting alot of attention...and the stones are darker now! <3 Though they don't look 3D :P i don't think you worked on them yet? Otherwise it's awesome

I don't think he necessarily needs to thin the legs. The monk's pants are supposed to be wider, they would look rather funny if they were thinner and "glued to the skin".
I do agree that it needs a much darker crease for the back of the knee, to show that the knee is properly bent. Also, I think the pants need a crease to show where her bottom would be, just so the shape of the body underneath is what gives the shape of the pants as well.
Removing the inner trim and perhaps widening the red area of the pants to be closer to each other between the legs might help as well.

Example:



@Magik: Wow, she looks so beautiful! I don't have any comments to add to that, I just keep gawking at the level of detail and prettiness. Very nice!

@Spark Addiction: You can make a free progress gallery at photobucket.com, or then register at deviantart.com for another free gallery. Having a progress gallery makes it easier for the judges to find your work for final judging. Instead of saying "No, I don't know how to do that so I won't do it" why not say "No, I don't know how to do that, will you please help me out?"
We are here to help out, the whole point of this Workshop is for people to learn new things and to get comments/critique/praise for their work.


EDIT:

To avoid double posting... I did some work on my entry last night. Worked on the background and did some small details on her dress. I still need to tweak the snow and some background details, but it's going in the direction I want so that's good.

Probably this:


I'm still using CS2 so mine has it. Perhaps the newer versions have done away with it completely, by adding some other settings? I don't know, I haven't used anything above CS3....
Perhaps try finding other ways of tweaking your brush? Or then download other people's custom brushes and just forget about the settings. I don't play around with the settings much either, I tend to be pretty satisfied with what brushes I already have.

Ahh that Yes its gone in CS5. I can't remember what the function was. What is it used for? CS5 probably moved in somewhere or made it replaceable.

I tried it out, and yeah, CS5 has probably found a better way to implement it. Basically it controls the opacity and flow depending on pen pressure. Like... you can change it yourself how much pressure you need to apply to get a certain opacity/flow. Seems kind of redundant, since you can do a lot of that with the normal opacity/flow sliders.

@Perynne: photoshop CS5 is a really good version with a blending tool that's pretty neat both for photograph use and painting :3

*Is completely lost within all of the fancy Photoshop talk*
Uhhhhhhhhh???

@Perynne: I don't even have Photoshop at all, so don't feel bad XD
All I have are some pencils and paper haha.

@Minami: I really love how it's coming along, those beads are nice ^^
I see what you're saying about the bigger medals, but I think that the small ones work just fine as well.

@Magik: Dwayna looks absolutely beautiful, but there is just one thing I am noticing about her that doesn't seem right. Her bottom lip looks really crooked to me, like it doesn't align totally 100% with the top lip. Otherwise I think that it looks great =]

Also, I feel like a noob for asking this, haha, but how do you guys do that "spoiler" thing with the image in it? I still haven't figured that one out.

The skirt for the Ritualist.
Fringes are sewn on, and the colored parts fit onto the bottom edge. They're not fixed to the skirt yet.
Yes, that's cloth glue

Nemesis, you do the spoil tag by writing "[ spoil] and [ /spoil ]" without the spaces.
If you quote a text that has the spoil tag in it, you'll see

Omai Minami when I first saw your pictures, I thought it was rather small, but now I see some feet to compare it with, I now see how big it is. Cool stuff, looks great already. Better be careful now Koreena and Tzu! I smell some rivalry

@Tommy: I'd go with a little darker, but it is looking better with the slightly darker creases. I really like the environment that you chose! It feels very open/bright/wintry, haha.
@Perynne: Wow, I'm really liking it so far; it's a very cheerful piece!
@Minami: I've always hated that Wintersday doesn't exist in Cantha. +1 for the concept, and it's turning out well!

Would anyone here happen to have Norn armor for his/her Elementalist? The pictures on wiki kind of such, I would be happy with some more close up bodyshots if anyone has them ^^ You can see the angle I'd prefer them in in my wip :3 Thnx in advance <3

edit: Oh I was too hasty again, found some better ones on the other wiki. Screenies still welcome though
