The colour scheme you've picked for the background works really well. I can't wait to see the finished version. Both the purple and the yellow really draw the eye, and it'll be interesting to see which one wins out.

Mensen die vragen, worden...

In my examsweek now so not working on Nians art trade this week, because finishing those hands was a bit hard and I needed to relax. So started on a gift for Alacrity. Her one hand will be holding some hair out of her face, and don't know what to do with the other hand yet. At first I wanted to balance a dagger on the tip of her finger, but someone else already did that for ala So suggestions are welcome Perhabs making a pistol from her hand? A bit playful.

About 2 hours now.

May be a bit busy, but she could be mid-twirl of a dagger.

Probably something like playing with a dagger. Also, realistic face much. ;o

omg thankyou Tommy~!
I'm touched that you remembered ..


I love her smile, just a hint of mischief, perfect :}



Don't worry about repeating what's been done before, with the volume of art featuring Alacrity, there's likely to be overlap somewhere ~
and balancing a dagger would work very nicely here
besides, the angle is different from that other pic.

other ideas to use all that space - casting/having just cast a spell, with a crackle of magic
perhaps her hand stretches towards us (palm up or down~? or facing us, up as if to offer or cast a spell, down as if to say "that's far enough")
- she might be holding something, doesn't have to be a weapon; GW is full of items .. maybe a Tome (or part of one)
or a consumable (examples: a half-full Sugary Blue Drink, or some other readily recogniseable item)

but any cheeky gesture, such as pistol-fingers, is well in character for Ala :}


If that doesn't quite fit in with brushing her hair away, you can still make her raised hand do something else
eg, suppressing a giggle (would need to adjust arm, so that her hand is reaching, not yet covering her mouth - shame to cover up that smile~!)
or a finger over her lips, not so much "shh" (but could be), more like http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&se...20hand#/dt96yh
(most others I can think of, only make sense if she's leaning towards the viewer)

I'm touched your touched

How about instead of a dagger balancing on her finger, a little voodoo doll? Like the effigy thing in Guildwars. Balancing on one leg on the tip of her finger. Or is Ala not so much into the voodoo

Ok little scetch to show what I mean:


Also some adjustments to her face, noticed her nose was a bit long.

Also don't know wether to put Sai's on the middle of the belt, or dragon Kamas on the sides. Any preference?

ha, those Straw Effigy's~?

Ala does actually have one, which she used in a pre-NF assacaster build

so yes, it's part of her GW history .. she had some sort of notoriety for it in AB's, in those early Faction days before the rollface builds



edit: oh, use whichever will go better, but if I had to pick, then Ala would have had Dragon Scythes in those days, and also Korambits if something shinier would suit
