Curse

On closer inspection, there is only one thing that bothers me - her finger on her left hand (our right) looks a little stubby to me, but that's just getting picky. =P Tiara is gorgeous, by the way. <3

thanks guys, i really appreciate your support *grouphug* ^______^

@IH don't!!! :PPP

@Drelias yes, i need to work on her fingers a bit more

especially on the thumb. It looks like "Ćevap" (i don't know English word for that XD )

bebe · Dec 09, 2010, 06:18 PM // 18:18

I don't know what a cevap is exactly but it looks yummy.. haha xD

It took awhile of studying the picture to notice the fingers, though - my eyes are drawn to the beautiful face, and the polar bear does a good job of keeping you from looking directly at the finger, too. Like I said, it was a minor thing.

Everything else looks great so far!

I'd say calling her fingers sausages is a bit too much even though I could agree to that they need some more work, no matter how delicious the sausage, they aren't THAT bad :P

@Bebe it is yummy

@Drelias its always easier when someone else point out the mistakes. I can't notice them right away because ive spent a lot of hours watching the same picture, usually flipping works very well.

@Gemini uh, you are right, hopefully they look better now

Too pretty!! Q.Q

Eastern Magik · Dec 15, 2010, 05:23 PM // 17:23

thanks

you can see the finished version here close-ups here and progress here.

Im starting with ranger as soon as i finish one birthday present ^^ (its not gw related

)

Drelias Melaku · Dec 15, 2010, 07:17 PM // 19:17

She looks beautiful! Good luck in the contest!

That tiara is just amazing, and the colors of the eyes... <3 And the textures... Brilliant piece of work.

Eastern Magik · Dec 16, 2010, 06:36 PM // 18:36

thanks Drelias *hug* but i don't really expect to win anything, i have really bad luck with contests XD

Anyway, after major loss of inspiration for my friend's birthday present, i decided to start with the ranger diva. After 3-4 sketches i finally made decision that i want to finish it this year (lol) so i put away all of the full body sketches and started on a blank canvas with new idea of a portrait. I just need to say, its much easier to draw long hair (even curly) than short haircut, and since half of the ref images provided are short haired rangers i made a little obvious choice :P So, Aero, i hope your ranger likes sumatran tigers ;P (yes, i know amur tigers are easier to draw, but i like sumatran more, cuz they are fluffy :3 )

InfestedHydralisk · Dec 16, 2010, 06:46 PM // 18:46

Can't wait to see the progress! (or finished version :P)

omg I hope you mean what I think you mean *excited* Oh and I love fluffy - always thought the mesmer armour should include a feather boa :P

Drelias Melaku · Dec 17, 2010, 12:25 AM // 00:25

Oo, can't wait to see it!

Congrats, Aeronwen!

Ah, seeing that you prefer long hair makes me a bit nervous for future divas, hahah. I think the only one of my characters with long hair is my Dervish. Ah well, I can still enjoy seeing all of the beautiful art.

Eastern Magik · Dec 17, 2010, 11:00 AM // 11:00

@IH well, the weekend is coming, so im hoping for a finished version

, but then again tiger needs a lot of time to get done... we'll see, i won't plan anything because i actually want to play gw a little (LOL) again, im awfully nostalgic these days ( i blame snow for that

)

@Aero yes, i chose your ranger ;P quick question: is her haircut made entirely out of dreads, or is it curly? can't really tell from the screens.

@Drelias don't be ;P i said its harder, not that i won't draw anything with short hair

and just a small note: paragon, necromancer and assassin spots are taken (again, i made pretty much obvious choices

). So, i guess that theres only one monk left to pick, right?

I had to log in to look ^^
I had always assumed it is just the bits with blue beads that are dreads but it is not terribly clear (I have been told my graphics card is rubbish) a close look at the bottom right of her head makes it look like its dreads all over - I don't mind which way you draw it.

Noooooo!
Well I guess I can give Monk a shot. :P

Eastern Magik · Dec 17, 2010, 02:36 PM // 14:36

@Aero hmm, i'll go with curly hair, and then make little dreads

@IH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?????????? but it's your sin, silly ;P

ok, to avoid further confusion, these slots have been taken:

paragon = me (and i have 3 of them!!, its already hard enough to choose one XD )

necromancer = drelias

assassin = IH

Tommy's · Dec 17, 2010, 03:32 PM // 15:32

Monk! Monk! Monk! D:

*winks very sensual*

bebe · Dec 17, 2010, 04:43 PM // 16:43

Did someone say Monk? My monk is adorable! :3
