Feathers looked strange because of the background

Look better on here. Thnx for all the sweet words both

Here is the finished result:

Ravenhawk · Jun 10, 2010, 08:49 PM // 20:49

Nice! She looks almost real and I love the background too! Looks like you're leaning more towards realistic drawing. This is the best one I've seen from you so far.

Chicken of the Seas · Jun 10, 2010, 09:06 PM // 21:06

That looks great Tommy! Loving the hair, face and the phoenix. =)

Mr. G · Jun 10, 2010, 09:50 PM // 21:50

Wow... I know I keep repeating the word, but simply amazing. I especially like the smile.

It's cheeky but almost sinister at the same time...

That's really, really beautiful. You've managed to get a lot of expression on her, and that firebird is just awesome. Good job!

One thing that I see that you could try to improve on, is to have the same dark shading and light highlights on all of her body that you have on the face and neck. Generally it's a good idea to make the face the most detailed part of the body to draw more attention to it, but it's good to use at least the same colour shadows and highlights on the rest of the body to make them match. The rest of the body doesn't have to be as detailed and the shading can be rough compared to the face, but often just having them there makes a huge difference.

You've done really good work though, and yes, this definitely shows that you're improving as an artist.

Can't wait to see how your style progresses.

Oh Tommy asked me if I wanted to have a detailed face and a less detailed body, but I said that I wanted it equal.

Aeronwen · Jun 12, 2010, 08:56 AM // 08:56

oooh that phoenix is great , so....fiery :P

Quickly made this request for russiansteven. A reference sheet for his ranger. If you would be interested in receiving something like that aswell, feel free to ask me

But remember, it costs

russiansteven · Jun 12, 2010, 09:10 PM // 21:10

Again, thank you for the reference sheet. I love it

Tommy's · Jun 15, 2010, 02:07 PM // 14:07

Sort of having vacation now, so going like a speedtrain ^^ Today was Perynne's art trades turn. Here is a WIP of how far I've gotten today. Long live good reference, and trying out new brushes. Turning out quite nice so far

Rydia Merchan · Jun 15, 2010, 03:36 PM // 15:36

Its beautiful Tommy!!

Mr. G · Jun 15, 2010, 05:12 PM // 17:12

Wow that's...fantastic. The brushwork is superb on that, possibly some of the best I've seen on these forums.

I always feel like a drooling idiot if I don't find something that could be improved though (at least in my opinion). In this case I would say that the torso needs a more definite shape.

Her breasts, stomach and waist are all pretty much the same width - I just think she could use a few more curves.

But don't let that put you off. It really is spectacular.

Ravenhawk · Jun 15, 2010, 05:34 PM // 17:34

Wow Tommy, that does look great. I agree with G, the torso does need a little more definition. Otherwise it is looking to be really good.

Can't wait for the finished piece

Tommy's · Jun 20, 2010, 05:25 PM // 17:25

@ Rydia, Thnx <3
@ G, Wow, thats like the best compliment I've ever had ^^ I agree the torso needs a bit fixing, but because of the angle alot of curve dissapears, which makes it had to fix

@ Ravenhawk, You just have to wait 1 more day, at worse luck 2

Here is the last WIP.

Gwee · Jun 20, 2010, 06:30 PM // 18:30

That's looking really nice Tommy.
I'd watch the values on the bottom of the image also maybe tighten it up a little? There's lots of empty space. Other than that it's lovely!

Tommy's · Jun 22, 2010, 11:35 AM // 11:35

Perynne's art trade is finished, just waiting for her to see it, want her to be the first ^^ Really like how it turned out, hope she does too. So expect something soon ^^

Also did the colouring on Frostkisses elementalist, drawn by StormX. Hope she likes it

Next up another Ritualist commission. Here is the first scetch, will get fully coloured. First time doing male. Just got a bit of trouble with the perspective of the staff and headwrap.

Ravenhawk · Jun 22, 2010, 11:40 AM // 11:40

oh wow! The pose looks great on that Ritualist and the anatomy looks good as well! Oooh and I love how you color StormX's Frostkisses' lineart. Good job

Tommy's · Jun 24, 2010, 12:53 PM // 12:53

Ok Perynne saw it, so now its public ^^ Here is the finished piece

Cookie for the person who knows the who the spirits at the back are

InfestedHydralisk · Jun 24, 2010, 01:03 PM // 13:03

The spirit thingies you see at the end of Vizanuh.

omens · Jun 24, 2010, 01:05 PM // 13:05
