Very nice! I noticed you fixed her face as well (added/fixed eyebrows?) , Forgot to mention how I love the clouds in the bg. They look so real.

mhm, i've added eyebrows as for the clouds, its really easy to get that realistic look. Just put grain texture on bg layer, they look pretty bad without it >_<

and new wip:



more work done on the face, and trying out some designs for her horns. Im having hard time deciding which one to choose...

I think you should make them like demon horns. Having pretty drawings on them is kind of weird.

So hard to decide! I think I like bottom left the most and top left the second most She's going to be totally gorgeous no matter what you decide, of course

@Hailfall ok, i've used design from bottom left :3

@IH hey, im just following reference

@Thistle ah, it is hard D: thanks ^^

result after adding that design on her horns:



after seeing the final result, redrew the whole thing (still need to tilt her right horn a bit) and painted in some hair to represent wind blowing like you guys suggested :3

Well, that design looks pretty good as demon horns too.
And that hair in the wind really adds something to the picture too.

if you say so, but i don't really like pointy demonic horns they are kind of scary and traditionally demonic horns are used for succubi and i think Shala isn't a succubus (at least i think she isn't )


well, if Hailfall likes it this way, i'll leave it like this, but if she wants me to draw demon horns, i will, its not really a big deal for me

Roc is the mythical large bird, as read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roc_%28mythology%29

Shala is not a succubus.. She was actually born half elf/half demon but later trough an experiment became a full demon (Damn them Drow for experimenting to get a perfect demon and needing demon blood for that).

Everyone draws Shala's horns differently and this looks very nice on her so i do not mind.

@Thistle well, it is long, but it would be so awesome to draw everything from it, at least just for practice

@Hailfall ah, i knew Roc sounded familiar

waw, that sounds like a nice story (and i guess half elf would explain her purple-ish skin? )

well, yeah, i've gone through your collection on DA and every artist done her horns differently but they all used similar shape (like on the reference, so i tried to draw that shape, thats why i redrew them (well, that and the first one looked kinda.. hmmm)) and if someone uses those kind of horns (nsfw inside)
you couldn't tell its Shala just by looking at her...

and new wip (im sorry for being super slow, i caught some stupid flu, so it take ages to do some simple things >_<):



still need to make some small changes on her corset, again tried to stay close to the ref.

Are you actually going to draw humanish female models out of those, or the actual creatures?

Pretty amazing detail on the clothing btw!

The details on the corset really are pretty intense, I have to say. Like the little Fleur de Lis-like design in it.

awwwwwwwww, thanks guys <33333333333333

@IH hmmm, i haven't really thought about that

and wip 12



fixed her right horn and added some small details on them (you would see them, but photobucket resized the picture ). Her socks are almost done (used some vintage texture for them). Skirt is done, just might add something on a belt, idk if it will look better if i leave it like this for the sake of balance (maybe to add some small silver chain between...) . And corset is also finished. I've fixed her breast and added subtle lace (again, you can't really see details on it because of resizing >_< ).

Oooh, I love the textures and patterns you're using there.

And I also love the change to her hair, it looks much more dynamic and real <3

The only thing I think you should edit is the length of his arms; they are bot a little bit too short (the whole "elbows goes down to the waist" thing) his right look better but I still think it's short by a millimetre or two.

I hope you don't mind me pointing it out. I really like the sketch

You should make it female! The whole character I mean.

As a male, I would say his right arm is fine, its about the same as mine, perhabs a tat bit shorter, but really not much. His other arm is too short though. Also I think the narrowing in his waist should be a bit lower. Lastly I think his collarbones should be facing downwards more, in a V-shape. I can take a picture this evening if you like, sadly I ain't that muscled, but it could help you get an indication of how the male body looks.
