@Eastern you could do a Spear damage contest with your paragons. Let them throw 10x an auto-attack spear against the master of damage and the one who did the most damage wins!

@Magik: Hahah, I suppose she still doesn't have as much detail as a Ritualist. 
I live with my sister for the rest of this year, and she had two Chows - a male smooth-coated (the one I was cuddled up with - he's a giant teddy bear most of the time) and one that looks like she might be mixed with Spitz or something. They're adorable. <3
Looking forward to seeing them!
Which of your Paragons has the most hours logged? Gave you the best birthday present? I have very clear favorites with my characters, so it's hard to offer suggestions. xD

@IH haha, that would be interesting score, because they all have same build XD
@Drealis i bet that one has nice curly tail O___O
my favorite is my main ;P i play mostly with her, shes also the oldest of my paragons. I made the second one just for fun (i actually had same haircut, when i made it XD)
and the 3rd one isn't spoiled rotten like the other two, just a modest 20lvl paragon in regular 1k armor XD but i like her earrings ;P Other than all being paragons, they are all named after my favorite trance songs :3

So, i really don't know which one to draw >_<

I think you can make the best diva with the center one in my oppinion.
Also, what trance songs? <3

I like the first one. Not a fan of the other 2.
I want to recommend this one to you, it's an amazing track.

David Guetta is not so bad. If Memories comes on you can see me claiming the whole dancefloor!

I'd actually think it'd be nice with either of the other two paragons than the center one. I think it'd suit better and I'd like it if you brought some more "colour" into it.
Eastern Magik
was listening to Guetta back in 2003, and then i started with trance, and im stuck with it ever since 
. I have habit of naming all of my characters after favorite songs i listen to atm. And that rule isn't applied only on characters, i mostly name all of my pictures that way too. Trance is by far my strongest inspiration. When i was painting Perfect Silence, was listening to that song over and over again XD yes, 10+ hours
btw. yt won't load that song you gave me *cries* will try again tomorrow
@Gemini hmmm, you make a good point luckily i have a lot of time before i start with paragon(s)

They both have curly tails, but the female's doesn't stay curly all the time. She's eight and he's three, but by watching them, you'd think their ages were switched. =P
I'm most fond of the face and hair of the first two Paragons. They're all pretty, but I have a thing for the first Paragon's face and the second Paragon's hair.

@Magik: Eee! <3 I'm really excited to see the rest of the diva series (especially necro, of course).

First time ive visited this part of the forum and going back to the top of this post your artwork is amazing. Really like what you done there. Keep up the great work. A*
Eastern Magik
@IH yep, i like it, its really nice im listening to this while painting Illharess. First song kinda reminds me of necromancers, and its kinda dark theme, so...
@Drelias haha :P
@Acehole thanks, im glad you like it *hug* stick around there will be more pictures soon
also, when i finally decided to send my wintersday entry to Anet, (used my brothers pc) and i accidentally bumped on kiriban page with 6 months premium membership on DA, haha, me and my weird luck XD

Jumping Is Uselss
Awesome work! Just some anatomical weirdness on some of them like the warrior. She looks all stick and bones with a giant head. Also are some suppose to be sisters? Some faces look similar with different color hairs.
Eastern Magik
yes i noticed, but thanks for pointing that out....
and no, they are not sisters, (like i already said on some random page on this topic) they all look alike because same person drew/painted them. When i paint, i always use the same method (because if i use different methods for every drawing, then i will never improve). Its not that uncommon :P
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it today

God, finally!!! Past couple of days my head was killing me
couldn't sit in front of a pc longer that 30-60 mins... But i got glasses and its fine now I did a couple of traditional art pictures, will post them if i manage to get decent photograph or scan
InfestedHydralisk
Ohhhhh, looks very awesome!
Woodelf Archer
agreed, that's incredible
Thistle Xandra
Wow, very nice!
Drelias Melaku
Oo, so dark and gloomy. <3 Thank you! It looks like she's been doing a bit of blood magic... Very pretty - I especially love all the details on the armor. Blood Magic is actually what got me into playing Necromancers. I made several different classes and deleted each one... And then I made a Necromancer and discovered Life Siphon. I mostly use Curses now, but there is still quite a lot of nostalgia with those blood spells. I looove any life/blood leech in RPGs. <3 Thank you very much! Now to catch you online to give you that 200k. =P

thanks all, I'm glad everyone like it, i haven't really expected to because of all the blood XD
lol, Drelias I'm glad you like it, but i don't remember this being a commission you don't have to pay me anything, save it when i start doing commissions ;P
will post later today some traditional sketches (if i don't forget) that I've done after 9-10 years of break XD
oh, next one will probably be Kimi or Bebex's monk, i already have sketches for monk

That looks creepie Magik D: Very well done.
Bad luck you've got glasses now I was afraid I was needing them too, but they where just stiff because I had been behind the computer at the same distance of too many hours and too many days. Perhabs you should give them some rest, not use the glasses too much. I heard then when you use glasses too much, it only gets worse.

It's rather the opposite with glasses; if you use them more when they are rightly adjusted the eyes and brain won't have to strain as much and the vision will, well, not improve but not go worse as fast, or at all.
Fierce
Pretty!!!!! :/
Eastern Magik
@Tommy well, it's supposed to be creepy :P
anyway, i got protective glasses, because my vision is perfectly fine (Thank God). I'm feeling a lot better now, and most importantly i don't have any headache anymore
and here is one fail like i mentioned before, i haven't drew anything traditionally for the past 9 years or so. This picture took me 20 minutes, maybe half an hour, and i got to say how much i appreciate digital media and admire traditional artists, you have to make everything out of first try flawlessly >_<. Lol, it would be nice to have free transfer/liquify tools to correct all of the mistakes, so far everywhere i look i see something i would like to change XD

Yup yup, this. How bad your eyes are going to go is set more by your genetics than anything else; wearing glasses often will not speed it up. However, wearing them often will indeed often slow down the rate at which they get worse, and at the very least will make sure you can see what you're doing and you're not having to strain your eyes to do so.
I've worn glasses since I was 7, so for nearly 18 years, and while I'm currently so near-sighted that I cannot see more than three inches in front of my face clearly without them and I've developed astigmatism (thanks, mom!), my prescription has basically leveled itself out and I've only had to get new glasses twice in the past six years, and that was really just me wanting new glasses - my eyesight actually had hardly changed (other than suddenly needing prisms in my lenses...sigh). Previous to that I had to get new ones every year.
Anyway!
Drelias's necromancer looks amazing! The blood is actually a nice touch. Not so much that it's over the top, either. And the pencil sketch is also very nice, and honestly, I'll always prefer traditional media. There's always little quirks that you can't simply easily fix that help make up the artist's style.

@Magik: I had offered 200k in my first post. But I'll get that 200k to you somehow, whether it's for this picture or by commissioning you later for my circus-y mesmer. >:| Though I usually have terrible timing when it comes to commission threads. xD
On the topic of glasses, I've worn them since I was 5 or 6 and I've needed a stronger prescription every year since. I haven't had the money in the past two years, though, so I get headaches a LOT because my eyes strain so much. I'll probably have to wait another year to get them - my fiance and I are getting married in November, and I'll be able to get on his insurance then. Unless I can find a job that offers eye care insurance, but those are scarce these days.
The traditional sketch is lovely. I prefer traditional myself because it's a bit more hands-on and I can do it anywhere. Plus it just seems so much easier to me to see the lines coming out of my pencil rather than a cursor on the computer. The tools and layers in digital are pretty nice, though.

Thanks Verene, im glad you like it
As for the sketch, will definitely color it digitally just to see the comparison of the two
@Drelias tbh, i don't think waiting list for my commissions will be too long (if any) XD so you probably don't have to worry about that :P
Sorry to hear about your headaches
