thanks guys! I had a lovely time

I don't usually burn immediately, but I also don't really tan... was really annoying when I got back to England, and some of the guys who'd stayed here had more of a tan than me after a week of Greece >.<
@ Charlie: cheers! I discovered the weird and wonderful world of brush settings lately, and have been trying to use different ones on the shala/corp piece. Definitely a learning curve there... some things worked, some didn't

but I guess that's the way of things.
Now, I realise I'm probably about to get stoned for this, but after so many commissions, I was in desperate need of some personal art, particularly after watching some really helpful how-to-custom-brush tutorials lately (check out this guy). I have never been totally happy with my old Eryn OC armour design, so I went back and changed it
As you can see, it's similar to Eryn's GW attire, but I had something less bling and more functional in mind. Not that having holes in your chain mail is functional... nevermind

Although I love the Dwarven skirt, I always feel it's a bit too girly for Eryn, so I changed that most. I'm really happy with it (for now), and also quite pleased with the level of detail in terms of painting. I feel like I'm slowly getting towards how I WANT to be painting

like this,
or this
If you steal this, things will get really nasty...
