    Look just cuz I'm planning to swipe your Cintiq doesn't mean...

    errr tomorrow works I suppose.

    That reminds me someone should start a 606 team up for forumites that want to run Holiday content. *goes off to start thread*
  2. I did Kelly thanks! ...shoveling is good, right?

    Hahaha I didn't know Cami was an Ill/Emp too. The similarity of white hair/skin an pointy ears occurred to me at one point
    but I didn't realize the powersets were identical too. Ummm... I'm going with great minds think alike here.

    If you do decide to work on it some more/color it, Xllusya's most distinguishing feature is her large never blinking golden eyes
    which you can see in this pic (last image in her slideshow) I did last year or this '09 birthday artz from Eddy Swan.


    Edit: OMZ! Cami has gold eyes too! She's not secretly a goddess is she???
    That would be eerie.

    What's that? You want me to post photos when your... errr my Cintiq arrives? I suppose I could do that.
    Oh awesome! Thanks Cami.

    P.S. Is there any larger size you could PM me so I can full screen it?

    oh wait that's Braveheart.

    Uhhh well of course the Spanish Inquisition did all that stuff... no one ever expected they would.

    Arts for the X

    Sensei your stuff is now clearly marked NSFW and you said you cleared your posts with a GM already.
    Personally I don't think you owe anyone an apology. If people don't want to see nudity they needn't click the links.

    P.S. I'm liking both your new pieces. Each has a different take on the new organic face and both gave it a cool effect.
    Nice catches.
  9. Okay see now I'm jealous.

    >. >

    *lies in wait for delivery truck to snag the Cintiq when it arrives mwhahaha*
  10. I thought it was out of order too but I figured it out a few seconds later. What tripped me up is I hadn't realize she turned around and looked back but instead had walked through already.

    I think it would be much more apparent she is turning around to take one last look if between panels 2 and 3 you had a shot of her from the side (perhaps even a closeup of her face) with the portal in the background so it reads from: having her back to us, to side view closeup, to looking back one last time. You might even slip in a panel that lets us try to interpret her motive... an emote perhaps just before she steps through. /e grief if she is leaving for sad reasons or unwillingly or /e curseyou if she is leaving angrily. etc. etc.

    Just suggestions though, it's a cool mini-story either way.
    Nice work Jinken.
  11. Your patience paid off, I agree this is the best color work I've seen from you Bubba.
    Looks like you picked up a few new things along the way too.
  12. Call it "The making of the 2011 Calendar" but do it in 2010.
    That way you retain the element of surprise upon the unwary.

    Click the little world and link symbol (hovering your mous eover it a second says insert link)
    When the boc pops up, paste the url into it
    Finished.

    p.s. - Great new arts Lasy C
    Never tried Caemgen's way (too many steps ) but I just do it manually.
    The syntax is the word "icon" and the persons name in between colons, with no spaces.
    So for example mine is...

    :iconChristopherRobinArtz:

    so if you put that into a message box on DA and hit preview you should see a link to me/my avatar.
    Cheers.

    Love it! Thanks very much Lady Cyrsei. I really like your interpretation on her belt with the stars on it and I would slog through a dozen sewer trials if I could have my shield design as a cape clasp the way you have it here.

    She usually wants people to draw based on her sig since there is no "cat model" in the game. The closest you can get to a cat is a 4ft. tall human.

    If you want a bigger version of the picture click the button in my sig... it should be the 2nd picture (#2 of 40). Otherwise the breed is a Russian Blue and you can "google images" it.
    Cheers!
  16. Hey there Nalrok and welcome to the art forums.
    Ya ever have perspective put you on hold? That's the worst. You'd think perspective would at least
    have some decent tunes playing while you wait but no... people in elevators don't realize how lucky they are.

    The holidays are my busy season and I do have a couple commissions waiting
    yet (so it might be a little while yet) but I do try to help out other artists whenever I can.
    Post up a clear in-game ref shot to go along with your art and I'll see what I can do when things let up a bit.

    Also planning a contest coming up soon here to give away some freebies so keep your
    eyes peeled and you might win a sketch of the hero/villain of your choice.

    P.S. Thanks for the kind words.
  17. What a great idea.
    Off to read up on the charities to see what pops!

    Mousey's expression (in that B&W duo) is very captivating.

But this post helped to put things in perspective so to speak. I do wonder though, if an artist doesn't really indicate light source in their lines then is it okay for the colorist to make one?
    Two ways to read that question.
    1. Is it okay to go contrary to the artists intention for the piece.
    2. Is it technically correct to do so.

    The first depends on your relation to the artist (do you have permission to color their lines, do they mind you adding your own touches etc), too many variables to give a straight answer but the best thing is if you are unsure... ask.

    For the second the easy answer is yes. If a hero has fire on their head and hands it is a light source whether the artist drew any indication for it to be or not (like the the moon in this piece). If there is no clear indication from the artist and no obvious light source exists in the piece then it's up to you and in that situation I'd say there are many ways to light a scene, be creative in choosing your light source (or sources) and then try to render the scene as realistically as you can based on your choice.

    Another thing to consider is if the person who drew the lines knew it was going to be colored in advance. The one quick sketch of mine in this thread I had no idea it would later be colored so there really is no helpful information or visual cues (other than maybe the shadow on the faceplate) from me where the light and shadows are to be placed so anyone wanting to color it would have to make those decisions him/her self.

    Lol that's awesome Henri, I've not ever had one of my characters recreated for an ingame birthday card scene.
    Very cool of you to do that. Thanks!

    P.S. I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit, your costume designs (and webcomic, screenies etc) show a lot of creativity and cleverness.
    I honestly think your sketching would grow by leaps and bounds were to invest more time into it.

    Well let that be a lesson to ya... my birthday is kinda like the Spanish Inquisition...

    Most of it was spent dealing with snow (and by dealing with I mean shoveling lol) and helping my neighbors dig out their cars but it was still a good day and people were very thankful for the help.

    My Art and WIP'S

    Oh cool, nice to see an inker here now too, do you do color work as well?

    On that 2nd piece I think the name might actually be Solipsist if it's wordplay on the epistemological position that one's mind is all that can be known or verified and knowledge of anything outside of one's mind (the outside world or other minds) is impossible and may actually not exist. That would be a fun one to role play with the right binds and...
    err ok, way off topic. *takes off geek hat* Ummm nice artz, very Lovecraft-ian, post moar naoz!

    Oh and welcome to the forums Geek Boy.

    @Caemgen: lol wondered how long it would be until you popped up.

    You know they sell those online I hear.

    Wait they let you fly being stuffed to the gills with burger and barbecue? Did that count as an extra carry-on?

    Consider it a placeholder

    Unless you don't want art
    Lol I should try that yelling at random people bit.
    Hey you... BIRTHDAY!

    Unless I don't want art??? Is that some kind of trick question?

    P.S. I actually started a birthday sketch of Cami (and two other recent birthday havin' peoples) but I just haven't had any free time of late to finish it.
    Posted a WIP of it in my thread.

    Links below for any that want to draw one of my (I'll add my newest 50 Dark Aedan soon as I get some good shots) main heroes.
    Clicking the pics goes to a single image clicking the name goes to a pauseable slide show gallery.

    Chloe Macomber
    (Dark/Rad Defender a.k.a.
    The rightful queen of the Croatoan witches cabal)


    Or Shieldara
    (Martial Arts/Shield Scrapper)


    Or Brahn Fuhrnos
    (Fire/Regen/SS Tank)


    Xllusya
    (Illusion/Empathy controller a.k.a.
    Goddess of Sunlight and Illusions)

    Well we are getting more than 12" of snow here and there is a partial flat tire I hadn't notice on the snow blower so unless I can get the tire repaired I'll likely be spending the majority of my day shoveling. Ahh the joys of living up north. On the bright side... no bugs for the next few months.

    Wait which part of you actually died... I should totally ask that first.
