On closer inspection, there is only one thing that bothers me - her finger on her left hand (our right) looks a little stubby to me, but that's just getting picky. =P Tiara is gorgeous, by the way. <3
Eastern Magik
thanks guys, i really appreciate your support *grouphug* ^______^
@IH don't!!! :PPP
@Drelias yes, i need to work on her fingers a bit more
especially on the thumb. It looks like "Ćevap" (i don't know English word for that XD )

I don't know what a cevap is exactly but it looks yummy.. haha xD

It took awhile of studying the picture to notice the fingers, though - my eyes are drawn to the beautiful face, and the polar bear does a good job of keeping you from looking directly at the finger, too. Like I said, it was a minor thing. 
Everything else looks great so far!

I'd say calling her fingers sausages is a bit too much even though I could agree to that they need some more work, no matter how delicious the sausage, they aren't THAT bad :P
Eastern Magik
@Bebe it is yummy
@Drelias its always easier when someone else point out the mistakes. I can't notice them right away because ive spent a lot of hours watching the same picture, usually flipping works very well.
@Gemini uh, you are right, hopefully they look better now

She looks beautiful! Good luck in the contest! That tiara is just amazing, and the colors of the eyes... <3 And the textures... Brilliant piece of work.

thanks Drelias *hug* but i don't really expect to win anything, i have really bad luck with contests XD
Anyway, after major loss of inspiration for my friend's birthday present, i decided to start with the ranger diva. After 3-4 sketches i finally made decision that i want to finish it this year (lol) so i put away all of the full body sketches and started on a blank canvas with new idea of a portrait. I just need to say, its much easier to draw long hair (even curly) than short haircut, and since half of the ref images provided are short haired rangers i made a little obvious choice :P So, Aero, i hope your ranger likes sumatran tigers ;P (yes, i know amur tigers are easier to draw, but i like sumatran more, cuz they are fluffy :3 )

omg I hope you mean what I think you mean *excited* Oh and I love fluffy - always thought the mesmer armour should include a feather boa :P
Drelias Melaku
Oo, can't wait to see it! Congrats, Aeronwen!
Ah, seeing that you prefer long hair makes me a bit nervous for future divas, hahah. I think the only one of my characters with long hair is my Dervish. Ah well, I can still enjoy seeing all of the beautiful art.

@IH well, the weekend is coming, so im hoping for a finished version , but then again tiger needs a lot of time to get done... we'll see, i won't plan anything because i actually want to play gw a little (LOL) again, im awfully nostalgic these days ( i blame snow for that )
@Aero yes, i chose your ranger ;P quick question: is her haircut made entirely out of dreads, or is it curly? can't really tell from the screens.
@Drelias don't be ;P i said its harder, not that i won't draw anything with short hair
and just a small note: paragon, necromancer and assassin spots are taken (again, i made pretty much obvious choices ). So, i guess that theres only one monk left to pick, right?

@Aero hmm, i'll go with curly hair, and then make little dreads
@IH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?????????? but it's your sin, silly ;P
ok, to avoid further confusion, these slots have been taken:
paragon = me (and i have 3 of them!!, its already hard enough to choose one XD )
necromancer = drelias
assassin = IH

My monk, Inanna:
Don't mind the armor. I was trying to find some combo that would work with the knee high socks in ancient armor shoes.
Drelias Melaku
O, squee! I was going to rush to get screenshots of my monk until I saw that you chose my necromancer. My fiancee gave me quite the strange look when I nearly jumped out of my chair and shouted, "Ooo, yay! " then immediately clapped my hands over my mouth for being so loud. xD Thank you for choosing my dear Illharess, my pride and joy of Guild Wars. I do have a full ref sheet for her when she comes up.
@Perynne: Aww, what a cute monk! I recently decided to look for a nice mix for those socks, too, and decided on Elite Canthan pants, Deldrimor top and mystery gloves (haven't decided on those yet). It's nice to see that top in use, too - it's one of my favorites and so few people wear it.

I tried with it for awhile and ultimately gave up because I just didn't like the sash. If it wasn't for the sash, I'd probably have it on my monk(s) for every combo.
And thank you!
And thank you!

@bebe awww, she is adorable, i really like that armor :3
@Perynne tbh, this is the first time i actually see those socks XD nice monk
@drelias haha don't thank me yet, you can do that when i finish with your diva ;P if you could just post ref pictures, lately im getting too many ideas, so it would be nice to have piccy of Illharess near by when inspiration strikes >
@IH if you could post some ingame screens of your Kimi that would be awesome :3

@Magik: Sure. x x
I just realized that I don't have a picture that shows EVERYTHING at once in my refs, but there is one in the picture I posted on page 2. If you'd like any more, let me know.

Aww, I wish there would be someone like you doing male characters. But anyways, Do you do these for free or payment? Because I would like one for my monk:
I would be so happy if you could make one

@Eastern: Okay, I wasn't sure but I thought too much would be better than too little. I had to remove her armor for the close-ups of her face because the... Collar, I guess? Covered her face on the side views and such.
And thank you. <3

@Madnessguy For my GW Divas project all of the "slots" are already taken. Maybe ill open commission topic (for the ppl who still want art from me ;P ) when i finish with gw divas, but im not sure...
@Drelias your necro will be pretty much challenge to draw. Tbh i never saw any necro like her ingame, she has that unique seductive feel, so let's see if i can capture it on canvas
and heres Ranger Diva Aeronwen
Small description: I wanted to show how rangers are connected with their pets. I also went easy on her make-up, wanted more natural look. Curly hair instead of dreads, and after a while of observing picture decided to lose those turquoise hair things too.

Tiggaaaaa! Looks great Magik. And I think you did right on leaving out the turqoise, it would have standed out too much I think, since the rest of the colors in here match quite well together. Looking forward to seeing your next ^^
bebe
Omg.. so pretty! The tigur is gorgeousss! and the ranger looks prettty!
Aeronwen
oh my she looks lovely
hehe and you left the whisp of hair that hangs in front of her eye - I have often thought that's teh reason she is not a good archer ^^
The tiger is superb, you can almost feel his fur

O my, that is absolutely beautiful. The long, sort of messy hair fits the ranger perfectly, especially when placed beside a tiger. She's cuddled up to that tiger like I was with my sister's Chow last night, so you've definitely captured that trust and companionship.
I know she is difficult to draw, and I apologize. I didn't realize how many details she had until I tried drawing her myself (months ago - got too busy to finish it). ^^; But I am very happy that she caught your eye. Thank you.

Amazing. The connection between the Aeronwen and the tiger is very good! I like how the tiger is made too! ;3
Eastern Magik
Thanks all, im really glad everyone like it. I wasn't really sure about her make-up, i usually tend to go wild with it (easy way to cover up mistakes :P lol), so this natural look is pretty much new to me XD
@Drelias haha, you don't really have to apologize for that oh and chows are cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuteeeeee O________________________O
anyway, started with monk (finished), sin and necro (half way there ) sketches. will leave paragon for the end, can't really decide which one to draw >_<
