So sorry to hear about the accident. Hope you're doing a bit better now! Your well-being should come first, though. I hope you didn't strain yourself too much to get these done? Kind of sounds like it, if the doctors had to take your stuff away. =P

Either way, welcome back. The pictures look great. My mouse really loves Kimi - the scroll wheel stopped working when I was looking at her. I think my favorite of the group is Reigi or the ninja, though.

Don't feel bad for not getting something done under such circumstances.

But that's a big and great update. All of them look really well done. I don't really have a favorite because I like them equally. But if I had to choose I'd go for Kimi (for obvious reasons :P).

Oh no, so sorry to hear you were in such an accident that you got hurt. I'm glad you're alright at least and wish you a speedy recovery. Take it easy ya hear! We only have these one pair of arms. xD

I really like Aeronwen's ranger. That looks pretty hot haha. Rangers ftw!

@Tommy: thanks, Eryn's pose was the most simple to do
@Drelias Melaku: Yes I think I was doing a little too much :P I have calmed down.
@Infested Hydralisk:I am very pleased you like Kimi, she had the most difficult pose ^^. At first, I thought I was going down the right track for a simple pose, but I was wrong XD
@Nian: Thanks, I will take a rest this week. Maybe watched the movie IP Man 2 or read a book
@Morag: Funny that you should mention X-men, because Eryn's model was slightly based off Storm. I love Storm!
@Aeronwen: I'm happy you like Aeronwen, Obsidian Armor is not as easy as it looks, I had to redesign a lot of armor :P

The ninja is based off a story i created along time ago. His name is Yamajii born in Tokyo Japan. His story was very similar to Kimi so I decided to make at least 2-D.

@Ravenhawk: Thanks
@Reigi: I'm glad you like it! And love Dragon Age 2 Avaline and Bethany are my favorites. Not Carver boooo!! :P
@Gattsu05: You know what I think your right, he does look like Noob Saibot

Here are two more, one is for my girlfriend who insisted I draw her a male mesmer in GW2, even though they have yet to be revealed. And second one is based on a GW2 art from Kekai, and end of my Les Voleurs series.







They are both based of these pictures:

Thank you Gattsu ^^. I'm glad to see you are still around. I hope all is well!
Yeah that wristwatch was quite a challenge, took a long amount of time. My wrist and fingers are still sore.

I wish I had a better camera. It looks much better in person.

I actually don't visit guru too often. Skyrim has sapped away my time from all things GW related lol. This is the first time in ages I've posted anything on guru.

@Gattsu05: Then I feel very honoured that I received your return post.
@Tommy: thx after studying color theory I found a much simple way to blend.
@DBAA: thank you! In class we studied realism, and my group did hyperphotorealism. I have been vigorously practicing those techniques.

@Higherminion&Olle: Lol thank you both for your interest, however right now I'm very busy. Trying to finish the Wintersday workshop and I have other projects for other places. However, as soon as I have time I would be honoured to draw both your characters.

I like the seascape Black. I would like to see a larger version.
It reminds me of one of my favourite local artists, Andrew Bailey, he has a wonderful way with waves, but it does not really show up well on a screen.

What do you mean 'start', I hope the workshop piece is nearly done.

@Ravenhawk: thankyou <3!
@Aeronwen: I think that is big as I can make it. The program it was used on had a very small canvas with very little tools.

Here's a wintersday update, decided to do it in pencil
