Alright, so just another (non-)update from me:
I CAN SEE THE END...
...of all this school work that is. My summative biology project is nearly complete (and is a masterpiece in its own right... >.>) and will be completed tomorrow. When that is finished, it essentially signifies having free time again! I will TRY to pull myself away from Wintersday long enough to start my project (note: trying to get life of the party this wintersday. we'll see.) for the workshop! -gets excited-
I have a 12x16" and a 16x20" canvas; which should I use for this? I'm leaning towards the 16x20" because the bigger it is the more detailed I can try and be. I've looked at some techniques online for acrylic painting I would actually really like to give a try (easy tips, yet yielding pretty awesome results) so I'm really excited for that! Going to gather some screenshots soon for reference.
Wintersday Workshop 2011!

@Qing I would say necromencer left, and either ritualist or ranger right? I always felt like ritualist armor without the helmet looked pretty similar to female ranger armors. Perhaps add more of that ritualist shell-metal-unnecessarymetalcircles- stuff to her outfit? Also, I like the green trim. Without it she is just red, with it she is very festively coloured 
@Olrun That looks awesome! I would suggest painting it; right now it is very 2-dimensional. If you painted it, you could really enhance the details and general appearence overall
What you would paint metal with, I don't have a clue. Would regular acrylic/oil paints adhere to the metal surface?

Let me know if you want me to update your progress gallery link to something else or if you want me to list it as TBA Quote:
Thanks for the info! Could you link the original post? The plan is to keep the story relatively short as the entries seem to be predominantly art rather than literature, so hopefully the 7000 word limit won’t be an issue. Whether or not the plan comes to fruition is another matter entirely, though. |

Your gallery link is just a link for where you want to show off your work in one place (although we want you posting your pics in this thread, too!)
If you want to sent up an empty one for now, that works, too! I have your link as TBA at the moment
Frozen_Chips If you think the word count might be an issue, consider using wordpress.com, another blog site, or PM Sierraa since she's awesome and has offered to host galleries Let me know what you decide and I'll update your link! |

Chips – Story had me hooked from the start again…..
His office cannot be both stuffy and draughty! Is ‘draft’ American spelling?
And why shouldn’t he be unaffected? Double negative – sounds clumsy to me.
Cheers for the feedback. It’s a little disconcerting that both those mistakes are in the first paragraph alone, but I guess that’s what first drafts are for. The double negative bit was an attempt to make the narration sound a bit old fashioned, but on revisiting it doesn’t really work. As for the chilly ‘draft’ going through an otherwise stuffy office, there’s no excuse. I’ll make sure that’s ironed out for the final entry, so thanks again for picking up on that.

TBA should be fine for now, as most of my progress is mental (I tend not to write things down until they're pretty much done in my head- makes things awkward here sorry).

Well after setting aside my regular artistic duties I've made some progress. I wasn't sure about the composition at first but now I like it.
http://daliliojo.wordpress.com/2011/12/18/color-sketch/
I've also settled on the concept of Norn, Asura, and Charr santa parody.
Wow it looks like the workshop has grown greatly.

Here's an update aswell.. DX I had no idea how hard it was to try to draw the northern lights with colored pencils.. I spent hours just blending that small section in the top corner. What a pain. And yes, the sky is a mess right now, but I'm sporadic when it comes to coloring so I just kind of jump all over the place.
Update:
Total progress so far can be found here: Steel Guild Wars Logo

Okay, so I'm pretty much decided on welding the rings to the back. As for the coloring, you think I should just clean the steel and have it wear a Santa hat and maybe some minor paint details? That's a neat idea. I'll see what everyone else thinks too. Thanks for the input.

@ OlrunGrenth is dropping the snowball on a young dwayna D:
I thought it would be somewhat easy to tell.... :<
The title of it is "it starts", as in what started the yearly battle between Grenth and Dwayna. When you drew Grenth is was completely obvious who it was you drew just from the picture. This was because of his hood and face mask. If you want people to recognize Dwayna, you should probably do similar things with her armor. I just don't think it's a good idea to have the only thing identifying her as Dwayna be that it is implied in the title of the picture.

Progress Gallery Link: http://aye-lyke-pi.deviantart.com/gallery/26218332 You might want to put a space between the colon and the D so it doesn't make a smiley and people get your name right. Also, your artwork looks awesome!
