I am addicted to my photo shop. I draw a lot of my own stuff, but also enjoy manipulating photos and screen shots. Here's one example:

Very nice photoshop work there. Was your necromancer in love with that blonde ritualist? ;-)

Thank you, I'm glad you like it

I actually don't have a storyline figured out for the picture yet. I was just putzing with emotes in game when I was struck by inspiration for the piece. The moan emote make her look passed out or dead, and I thought the necromancer would fit nicely in there. I threw the quote in there at the last minute to give it a caption rather than just saying hey, look, a necro holding a half nekkid chick :P :P

I am leaning toward murdered bride on her wedding night....assassinated because of the Necro's jealous ex lover....or maybe the necro's brother had her killed to prevent them from birthing an heir.....the possibilities are endless. But i had fun with this piece.

i like it also, the colors work together wonderfully, i give it a 8/10 -2 because since when did necros care about ritualists :P

Some MM's probably do, Ulivious, because Spirits + Minions + Flesh Golem = a wicked support network.

I like them both. One thing though. Look at the hand holding the staff in the first picture, it just doesn't work. Imo you would get a better result if you removed the staff.

Meh, it's alright, but I'd much rather see some unique personal stuff as opposed to the cut/paste + photoshop effects you see in just about everything. Lens flares and color changing's great, but it's also something just everyone who has photoshop is able to do without even thinking. I'd like to see some more original work, things that're more than just cutouts and effects where you can pick out all the changes that were made. These are alright, they just feel pretty fake IMO.

How about some drawings?

How about some drawings? Most of my drawings aren't fit for a guild wars board and might get me in trouble if I posted them here. They aren't pornographic, but they are pin up style comic book art. I haven't gotten around to drawing any guild wars stuff because I haven't been playing that long. But I'll work on one

The screen shot stuff is just a fun way to pass the time for me.

Ok, so someone asked to see an actual drawing. This isn't my best work. It's something I threw together tonight. Let me know what you think.

It looks like a cross between a teenage girl and the head of a ~30 year old supermodel superimposed on a screenshot fromsomewhere in presearing or kryta/maguuma. creepy.

Here's another drawing....I spent a little more time on this one, but I'm still not happy with her eyes. The rest turned out ok though.....

Experimented with textures this time, as you'll see with her clothing. Also tried something new with the hair. Over all I am pleased with the results. Was given a great tutorial on skin shading so will be trying that out soon too. I got the pose from my Poser files. When I'm stumped for poses I use those sometimes.

Nice work on the Ascalon dress. Who's next? Warrior? Aeromancer? Healing Monk? Ranger? Mesmer?

i love that necromancer, you could probably make a good comic as you got this kind of comic book style in your drawings^^

Thank you for your comments everyone

I am in the process of doing a ranger atm. You'll notice, most of my art if female....because I'm better at drawing women lol. But never fear, there will be males in the near future.

Does anyone know where i can find some Adobe Photoshop texture downloads? Particularily the cloth or metal sort for clothing and armor. Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend learning how to paint them yourself instead of applying texture overlays. You'll benefit a lot more from actually learning how to paint the metallic armor, or learning how to do the folds in their clothes yourself. Learn to use different brushes and strokes for a textured look, relying on your pattern and texture overlays is not a good thing. And even with them it's still clear that they're overlays, and not part of the drawing itself. Looks very "2d", and if you end up relying on patterns and textures for all your contrast and well, texture, it'll only end up looking rather fake. Sorry if I'm blunt.

Ok, here's one I did of my ranger. It took me a few days to finish this one. I didn't experiment with textures or shading because by the time I finished coloring it and touching it up, I was tired of it lol. Maybe I'll work with it more one day, but I'm satisfied with it for now.

ok, did one of my boyfriend's assassin and my ranger. had to shrink it down, so parts of it look a bit blurry. The actual image is much larger but I couldn't upload it in imageshack due to size. The boyfriend also said I need to start putting my signature on my art so you'll see it at the bottom. It's my logo for a few different websites, one of which will be for my art when the site is ready to go live.

Thank you very much

This is by far my favorite piece so far. It took forever lol. But it was worth the time. They make a pretty sweet team too
