@Tzu, ಠ__ಠ.

@Airaquila, I think it would look awesome if the necromancer was sewing a piece of meat onto the reindeer.

@Name changed Minami, looks better, but make sure you know where the light is coming from. Careful with putting highlights and bright lights on places light wont fall, like her tummy/left arm. Try saturating some midtones too, maybe even using the sponge tool on saturate

@Tommy, ಠ__ಠ is that artgerm I see.

Very nice Zidane, I'm sure that will definitely get something.

Was that all drawn from scratch?

I rarely start from scratch I'll use photo-ref or mock something up in 3D real quick, then draw over the top. It really allows for fast workflow.

Nice Zidane. I love the swirly bits you have on that. Are those freehand or some type of template?

On another note, I"m having troubles getting screenshots to go with my song. I found out it's very hard to get 12 necros to come to the same district for 5 minutes to help you out

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

So much beautiful art, it's great to see new and "old" artists finish and introduce their works to the workshop. Now begins the rush to complete you pieces before New Years!

Hope to see little to no activity in the thread today though, you should all be with your families and enjoy good food and presents! Provided you celebrate xmas, of course.

looks like it's gonna be difficult for me to finish Dwayna in time for the contest. I'll give it a try, but I won't get my hopes up. The weather is mighty unpredictable too, so the 1/2 days I have to take pictures might prove to be completely impossible (risk of blizzards, mostly). However! I will try my best.

Merry Christmas! I hope you get it done in time, Tzu; even if you don't (you will, though), you've gotta finish it!

If you still need help I have a lady necro if that will work. My IGN is Countess Reapera if you want to contact me.

You might make a topic and ask for some volunteers as well, the community on GWGuru is pretty generous about such things if they know about it.

@Deatgs Corrupter: Great work! I think the blur actually adds to the pictures, it makes them seem more focused and real.

that looks really nice Deatgs! Very nice photos.

I updated my blog with a boring new picture of my wig, updates for updates' sake, and a short tut for making a Duct Tape Dummy! So those interested in that, as always; click me!

That is really creative Tzu! I would never have thought of that but it's such a great idea!

Oooh deatgs, looks great - don't worry about the blurriness. That automatically happens if you take macro shots, and actually looks really good if the important bits are in focus (which they are ) keep it up!

GO TZU!! I lovelove the wig, it's perfect! you're going to make an amazing dwayna

Hey TZU, costume is looking amazing!

For the party I have got hold of enough tonics for everyone, and a bunch of fire works to!


Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
