OK, I think I've finally figured this DA thing out! I've tried taking shots with my camera, but next time I'll have to use better lighting D:

This is a quick pic I did for Mina's workshop to celebrate Halloween since I didn't draw anything for the holiday:



Updated WiP for Verene's ranger I really need to learn how to get better shots D:

Hey!
This is Murke.
I'm not sure which of her armors is easier to draw, so you can pick whichever.

As for her hair...it no longer looks like that. She's also rather silly despite this picture. Now it looks like this: http://kalinotora.deviantart.com/#/d2v2bpn

But you don't have to worry about getting to it any time soon. ^.^ Thank you so much for wanting to do an art trade!

lol I know what you mean by the "rather silly" term. But Murke has a really adorable personality! I kinda miss our RPs now *blames Ran*

@Thistle - Verene's ranger is looking fantastic! And the demon girl turned out really great. I still need to do my own sketches for this week >_>

Thanks, raven When I have more free time, I want to go back and do some sketches for the first two weeks and do the rest of this week's poses! I didn't know stock photos like that existed, and it's such a great way to practice drawing

Thanks! Murke also gave me the great idea to make a copy and color the copy, so once I'm done with the shading, I'm going to see what I can do for color

Thanks, Miriforst! I just noticed this morning that you updated your post I'm going to use your ranger as my model for this pose in Raven's anatomy workshop: http://roguemina.deviantart.com/#/dwor30

I just got my bamboo fun tablet in the mail yesterday, so yours will be my first digital sketch (other than my newbie chibi avatar )! Yay!

Grats on the pen tablet! And I can't wait to see what you come up with that pose. I might do my sketches tonight myself

Hey! If you don't mind, can you please get me a screen shot of your armor and bow at this angle? There's no rush since I need to re-sketch the body anyway and if you can't, then I'll just have to be not lazy and figure out the angle details myself


Edit: Played with making chibis and figuring out how to work this tablet Made this chibi of Murke (hope you don't mind! still going to make your sketch for our trade ).


Another edit: Here's my fourth attempt at a chibi and figuring out my tablet. This one's of Verene's ranger and her lynx, because for some reason, I like drawing her ranger with a lynx o_O


I think this will be my last chibi for a while since I think I'm finally ready to color and finish up the other sketches

OMG, need to put down the tablet and get some actual work done >_<

Nice work on my hair, must be a nightmare to draw

I never though about that pose but i think it will be great (i have screenshotted some angles and only need to put em together now).

good work! (gw)

lol, actually the hair was easy once I found the right brush to use I'm still having trouble with shading the face though, but I think I'm getting better after painting Verene's face. Thanks for getting the extra angles for me

I'm just going to post the links to my scrapbook with your current WiPs since I'm working on each of the different sketches bit by bit (I'm learning so much and having a blast) I'll stick to posting the final versions

So... I'm having a hard time digitally paint your other sketch, so I figured I'd take a step back and practice some anime style so I can understand shading a bit more...
edit: <snipping out old pic and adding in finished pic> Here's the finished version Hope you like it! (Thinking about a different pose for your ranger )



anyway, if you want me to personalize it with your ranger's name like I did with Omens' monk, just let me know

I love how the ranger turned out and all the chibis are adorable! They actually look like they can be converted to plushie heads. (Not sure why I have plushies in my mind these days..I should draw)

Thanks, you two! I'm planning on trying to make a sexier version of Tessa (key word is 'try') for her next sketch Lol, Mina, I wouldn't have thought about that, but yeah!

Nice work, Thistle. Are those some of Rich Anderson's brushes you're using in Omen's piece?
