I am addicted to my photo shop. I draw a lot of my own stuff, but also enjoy manipulating photos and screen shots. Here's one example:

Very nice photoshop work there. Was your necromancer in love with that blonde ritualist? ;-)

Thank you, I'm glad you like it I actually don't have a storyline figured out for the picture yet. I was just putzing with emotes in game when I was struck by inspiration for the piece. The moan emote make her look passed out or dead, and I thought the necromancer would fit nicely in there. I threw the quote in there at the last minute to give it a caption rather than just saying hey, look, a necro holding a half nekkid chick :P :P

I am leaning toward murdered bride on her wedding night....assassinated because of the Necro's jealous ex lover....or maybe the necro's brother had her killed to prevent them from birthing an heir.....the possibilities are endless. But i had fun with this piece.

Some MM's probably do, Ulivious, because Spirits + Minions + Flesh Golem = a wicked support network.

I like them both. One thing though. Look at the hand holding the staff in the first picture, it just doesn't work. Imo you would get a better result if you removed the staff.

Meh, it's alright, but I'd much rather see some unique personal stuff as opposed to the cut/paste + photoshop effects you see in just about everything. Lens flares and color changing's great, but it's also something just everyone who has photoshop is able to do without even thinking. I'd like to see some more original work, things that're more than just cutouts and effects where you can pick out all the changes that were made. These are alright, they just feel pretty fake IMO.

How about some drawings?

Most of my drawings aren't fit for a guild wars board and might get me in trouble if I posted them here. They aren't pornographic, but they are pin up style comic book art. I haven't gotten around to drawing any guild wars stuff because I haven't been playing that long. But I'll work on one The screen shot stuff is just a fun way to pass the time for me.

Ok, so someone asked to see an actual drawing. This isn't my best work. It's something I threw together tonight. Let me know what you think.

It looks like a cross between a teenage girl and the head of a ~30 year old supermodel superimposed on a screenshot fromsomewhere in presearing or kryta/maguuma. creepy.

meh, every artist has their critics. Like it or don't like it. Yours is one opinion and you're 100% entitled to it.

Here's another drawing....I spent a little more time on this one, but I'm still not happy with her eyes. The rest turned out ok though.....

Experimented with textures this time, as you'll see with her clothing. Also tried something new with the hair. Over all I am pleased with the results. Was given a great tutorial on skin shading so will be trying that out soon too. I got the pose from my Poser files. When I'm stumped for poses I use those sometimes.
