And Mina's looking good By the way, just noticed the times you put under the paintings (I of course had only eye for the painting). Thats pretty damn fast, impressive. Curious to see what masterpieces will come from your hands if you spend some more time on a drawing.

Yea, I usually keep track of my paintings and their times. The reason I do them so fast is that I have small amounts of time, and it depends on what style. in addition, if I spend too long on something I will never finish it. For example, Mina was done for about an hour, however, if I wanted to add more details I might spend up to a day or a week, recreating the entire image.

Plus, I draw them quickly because I like to see if my knowledge of basic forms and shapes are alright, if someone looks at the drawing and says " That's a female mesmer!" my work is accomplished

So here is a link to an album of drawings of Lucy and a reference sheet where there is info and details about her. Feel free to go your own way though, they are only what you could call guidelines

Lucy Gwyneth was a fun to do like Mina ^^. I love all the stories you guys have developed for your characters, they really make me love design them. I have sat back and read through all of your bio's for your characters and they are fantastic!

For Lucy Gwyneth, I decided to a different style, a soft anime style, less than an hour. I really liked her bio with Tommy the panda. She loves sumi paintings like I do too ^^. It also helped me practice my Chinese, my teacher would kill me for my sloppy characters. However, Tommy I had a question for without feeling, would it not be meiyou ganjue instead of using bu?

Moreover, you guys get a sneak peak for my GW2 art series Les Voleurs Next... Mademoiselle Shala ^^

That looks really cool. The only thing I can point out is that the head of the Panda looks kind of awkward.

Yes I just noticed this as well...hmm I edit will be done. I found the way it's angled to be quite irritating thanks for pointing that out
...Note to self check Panda heads...

Looks swell! And about the Chinese quote, honestly I wouldn't know. I don't speak a word Chinese (sadly, I want to follow classes next year though because I'm going to do Summerschool in Shanghai). I only based it on what people told me, it is perfectly possible you are correct

Anyway I could return the favor?

You don't have to repay me. I'm happy enough with drawing all of you guys characters. I actually get a joy in reading and designing characters. However, if you feel you need to I want stop you :P

Oh and a heads up to you all, i'm usually real busy on Saturdays and Sundays, so I won't be posting ^^. In addition, I will most likely do 3 females then a male, this keeps me from merging the anatomies of males and females. Nevertheless, I do have most the characters sketched out, so the orders will not change drastically.
