Thank you for commenting. I guess I went a little nuts with the colors on those. XD

It's the latter. :P

Huzzah! And beautiful commission of the mesmer, I love her face and pose. <3

Mistical miss · Mar 13, 2007, 08:37 PM // 20:37

Yeah sweet one again,

Some comments on your last:

The legs aren't right, if you draw the upper legs over the clothes you will see it won't fit unless the body moves in into an odd position, to fix this I suppose you could draw the upper leg of the left leg somewhat more upwards.

Her lower legs are thin, really thin, just add some more flesh. And I think it would look better if you have the left leg go somewhat more to the back (instead of making it parallel to her right leg).

Other than that, nothing springs to my mind at the moment ^^

Another good drawing

keep it up!

Foxeye · Mar 13, 2007, 08:52 PM // 20:52

Gawd, I'm having a colorgasm! <3 <3

EtherealByte · Mar 13, 2007, 09:56 PM // 21:56

Whoa... beautiful.

Can we get the higher resolution version if we pm you for our commission? or is that the resolution your working with it on?

AW Lore · Mar 14, 2007, 02:45 AM // 02:45

beautiful drawing, check your PM

Sectus · Mar 14, 2007, 03:00 AM // 03:00

Very nice drawing!

Nian · Mar 14, 2007, 07:33 PM // 19:33

Curses! Me and Noanoa(We are actually roommates) are being made to move to another apartment this very weekend on a very short notice. It's going to be hell with all this stuff and beds and sofas and I doubt I will be able to draw anything for a while either. So my status is also on hiatus for now. I will seeyou guys soon and sorry about the wait but can't help it. As Noanoa said in her thread..grrr student housing, they just don't care about us enough and they are almost about to make me cry. ._.

Edit: Oh and to EtherealByte, the pics are about 10 times the final size when I work on them so yes 'course you can have a higher resolution one. Just make sure to tell me to keep it before I go deleting my .psd files for more disk space. :s How high res would you want it to be at max?

Lilith St Cyr · Mar 14, 2007, 08:46 PM // 20:46

Please put me on the waiting list, & PM me when you're ready

EtherealByte · Mar 16, 2007, 04:39 AM // 04:39

Hmm... what is a good rez... let me think... i dont really know what resolution the final version will end up in but something around 3000x3000 (yah i know it wont be a square, but just an idea.) wud be cool... something like 5 times teh size of the frst commission. Hope i'm not asking too much of you. One more question. Do you do group pictures? 2-3 characters in one picture. And how much would that cost if you were to do it?

Yeah sure I can draw more than one character at a time. It's more interesting that way anyway. I don't really know about the pricing though. 'Course it'll take much longer to finish and the time spent on it is really the base for my pricing dunno. XD Sorry not a good answer yet. Moving this sunday have to get everything packed tomorrow and it's a mess, eep. :x

Nkah Sennyt · Mar 16, 2007, 09:58 PM // 21:58

Ooh, I'd like the .psd file for mine as well [once it's finished, no rush of course] - original size, if possible. <3

UnknownWonder · Mar 17, 2007, 01:08 AM // 01:08

Hmm... ok now it's my time for some questions:
EtherealByte, Nkah Sennyt: Why are you looking for such high res pictures and what are you planning to do with them?

I'm completelly fine if you want to make wallpapers or even print it on your wall but I hope everyone realizes my rights in regards to these pictures even if they are fanart? :z

Here they are: Other than what the original creator has done it is against copyright law to sell them for profit or alter the pictures in any way. This includes resizing, cropping, changing of colors, editing text on them etc. It's all illegal. While I'm not going to bite off anyones tail for it I just hope everyone respects my rights and the pictures as they are. That's all I'm asking yesh.

P.S. Sorry if I sounded like a stuck up artist. That was not my intention but you get the picture right? XD As for the sizes I work on they are usually 1500+ x 3000+ pixels. It's a different story if I'm intending to get it printed but normally it's like this.
*back to packing yarr*

Nkah Sennyt · Mar 17, 2007, 02:13 PM // 14:13

I hope I'm trustworthy enough. I'm a collector, and yes, I'll most likely make a wallpaper. I rarely recieve the hi-res version of anything I commission [other than Shadowlight @ GWO], so it's nice to get it sometimes. Would cropping for use as an avatar [see current] be against the rules?

The internet makes me sad sometimes. An artist shouldn't have to fear that they'll seem stuck up because they don't want their artwork misused.

It's like confronting someone breaking into your house and saying "I hope you don't think I'm greedy, but I would prefer you didn't take my stereo and grandmother's heirloom jewelry". (Not that I think anyone was going to do that here, it's just that I know why Nian put the disclaimer in. Because I've seen artists that *have* been flamed for defending their rights.)

Engelszorn · Mar 17, 2007, 06:05 PM // 18:05

Well, you're one of very few to understand that. Usually artists or just people who draw for fun get flamed for those words. I've been called a *insert really nice word*, arrogant and stupid for not wanting free advertizing for my works. I simply can't understand what's so difficult to understand when I say: please don't post my stuff elsewhere. The reasons are my own.

Sorry for OT, I just felt I should speak my mind. ^^;

Very nice mesmer fanart

(Ha! Now I get the gored enginge blabla xD)

EtherealByte · Mar 17, 2007, 06:10 PM // 18:10

Well, i am not planning on making wallpapers off it. The real reason i want the higher resolution version is simply because of my current resolution (1920x1200) and the fact that i simply prefer higher resolutions for the details. All it'll do is sit in a GuildWars fanart folder in its original form. I do respect your rights though and if you're uncomfortable with giving away a higher resolution version i totally understand it but i'd still like a multi character sketch, pm'ed you the info :P.

Orseis · Mar 18, 2007, 04:28 PM // 16:28

She's beautiful, she looks so fresh and fragile... and thank you for reminding artists rights exist

Nian · Mar 18, 2007, 09:24 PM // 21:24

Just got my stuff somewhat organized after the moving. Wow that's got to be the fastest moving to a new place I have ever done too and I'm so relieved. XD

Yes I know you're a collector and I like your collection too. I feel it's alright now just got a bit curious of what you guys were aiming it for but now I know so it's ok. XD
And no I don't mind stuff like making wallpapers or avatars/sigs out of them or other similiar stuff for that matter. I like doing it to other peoples art myself so it would be hypocritical of me to say not to do it (hello internet) hehe and besides I'll be making it especially for you to enjoy afterall. :P

Thanks for those words. I really really really dislike it when artist related flames happen and just don't want to have to be taking part in that so I figure it's best to try to sound nice about it.

Hehe it's ok and I'm sorry you've been the target of that flaming. Guess it can't be helped with your level of stuff eh. ;D

Wow! And here I thought my 21" lcd wide was pretty nifty haha. Nice resolution you've got. I actually understand exactly what you mean. I love huge resolution scans and artwork myself and looking at detail. I guess I was a bit uncomfy but for the love of hi-res pictures I'm ok with it. Thanks for the pm.
