Welcome to the wild bunch Kitty :3 Cool you jumped on the party boat with us.

@ Minami: I'm gonna give you the same advice as I did last time some brighter sharper eyelashes could give some more depth to her eyes. Also try downloading a texture brush and add some texture on the nose, the way it looks now, it looks like its very fat. Also the jewelery on her arm gives some odd shadow. Probably just something you forgot And when you have a grim smile like that I think the other mouth corner turns up aswell (not in higher, but in shape). But can't really put my finger on that..

As for her armor, I'd try to sharpen it a bit up. It looks like you locked the layer with the green parts and just rushed a texture on it You should make small shadows on the base armor, and some highlights on the ribbons. I tried a bit in this picture, though its not so nice, but I'm sure you can!


Things I did: Added some texture to the nose, gave the eyes some shadow with dodge tool ( a bit too much perhabs ), changed the mouth a bit (also the curve you get in your skin when you smile) and some theory with yellow arrows Though I quite failed there xD Use whatever parts you agree with me on. :3

Here is another small WIP of my work, scetching out the house and mad king thorn.

Thanks Tommy
I'm working on some parts, trying to make it better, I'll try your suggestions too in a little bit
Started drawing at 1 AM, it's now 8:30 AM... seriously need some sleep. V_V
Maybe that's why I forgot that "weird shadow", which isn't a shadow at all... it's a sketch layer for the arm jewelry, set to 30% opacity.. LOL

The Workshop made the news over @ http://www.guildmag.com !

So yeah, next to the possibility to win those great prizes, there is also allot of 'Fame' to win here, as GuildMag will publish the winners in our issue 4. Thousands of guildwars fans will see the end results and will probably dig through the thread to see how their favorite Art piece came into existence ...

!One thing though, we of course want permission to post the works of art of the winners in our Mag, so if you DONT want your artwork (with guildwarsguru username) posted in our Mag, please be so kind to PM me and i will make sure we exclude your Artwork & Name from our Mag.

Have fun with the creativity ...

Sorry I am coming in so late but this will be my first Halloween in-game and I only realized the contest was on a week ago. I have a lot going on with my kids and being a full-time student so of course the idea of having something productive and fun to do with a deadline was very appealing.

This is where I got to for today.

Fixed the scar, put it over the eyebrow and put some scar tissue in her skin around it.
Textured the nose like Tommy said.
Fixed the armor, worked on the texture and highlights/lowlights.
Redid the entire head dress.
Changed the background color so it doesn't drown out the color of the necro's eyes.
Took away the arm jewelry sketch layer
I might have forgotten to mention some other things I did, I'll try and remember it after I wake up later.

Will get back to it all sometime later today... I really REALLY need some sleep :P

Nice to see this thread going on like a train! 23 pages of art and nice chatter.

Minami, that's looking so awesome... The jewels, though, need a wee bit more shadowing, they look a bit shineless due to the low contrast between the light and the shadow. I'd also wish for a little bit of texture on her arms, as I don't think she'd use makeup on them. Otherwise darn good. Very, very nice and delicious-looking candy corn. Damn my candy strike!

Marshgettout! Your art is tooo cute :3 nomnomnom. You even manage to make Gwen look cute, and that requires some skill! Though I'm glad my eyes dont look like Thackaray's lol, reminds me a bit of Jimmy from South Park somehow Bit disproportional. That moon is so awesome btw :devil:

Thanks you guys for all the nice comments and CC, it's super nice of you
Happy that so many of you like my drawing ^_^

I will continue working on the head dress jewels (they're on a separate layer, that's why I haven't gotten to them yesterday), but since I STILL didn't manage to get any sleep and been up for over 24 hours, it's gonna have to wait O_O

I noticed too that the way they are is not so cool, especially compared to the revamped head dress.

I'll work on the arms too, thanks for the tip! ^_^

Marshyyyyyy your piiiiic is SOOOO cuuuuuuute *gets knocked out by the cuteness overload*

Yay, I'm knocked out, I can now slee.......

Tommy - nice. I like the way you drew the floor and its textures..those candy corns look so yummy *bites her monitor* ouch.

Charlie - Oh man..it looks like a scene straight from the movie..and you're not even done yet O_O

Minami - Looking great! I like the shine on the armor but I think it still lacks a bit of intensity to it. If it's metallic I think the contrast should be more vivid (and I probably am not explaining myself really well here). Now sleep!

Maaaaaaaaarsh! Kawaiiii! That's all. *faints*

A new update, I need some ideas as to what I can put on the left and perhaps some other stuff I probably am forgetting...



Also, I don't know how complex the title should be made, I like it clean like this, but I'm going to look into other options quite soon.. I just felt like making the rest of the list I have first before going back to that one.

I got quite a few ideas as to how I can make this image lively, but I really need to find some inspiration to make a few things.
