^^^^
agreed. It was looking totally awesome D:

Though, Hailfalls is looking pretty impressive as well I must say. I don't know why but I'm just sucked into the scar/paint in the eye... like someone hypnotized me o.0

i just love looking at your wips--this has been helping me a lot with my own work in a way, learning from just hese pictures. i love your realism and the wonderful choice of colours. Hailfails is looking amazing with the mood, and the assassin's skin is looking so real--lovely

also back on that flipped image discussion i left you hanging in, when my images get too large, i resize it just for the sake of flipping. that helps

@Hailfall. thnx Will be a while before its finished though
@IH. No worries I'm still going to finish it. It's just that I need to relax and I relax best on faces and bellies ;p So I'm doing those and once my exams are over I'm going to finish Nians > Ala > Haillfall > another commission I havent started on yet.
@DBAA: Thanks <3 again, I will finish it And I'm glad the scar works hypnotizing, hope the eye will do so aswell, once I've put it in there

@Lady, thanks, glad they are of help. Though my order or working is terrible, I really should learn to put everything down and then start detailing instead of just randomly start somewhere I tend to keep bad habbits. Though its working for me so far, so not that much of a big deal, just sometimes annoying if I decide to go for a diferent light/shade. And flipping is going good now, GO iMAC!

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?
thats really nice tommy...... amazing improvement since u started. you'll go far just keep at it . you have a very good eye.

ps: Hailfall likes it rough.

ooh i love it! i know i already said it, but this may be my favourite piece of yours in terms of experimenting with colour theory/schemes. the red just makes it so murky and mysterious...and for some reason, i really love how you draw mouths.

Alacrity looks really good - definitely improving throughout your works. Hail's commission is coming along nicely as well.

Thanks

The weather today was too sunny to sit inside, so I undusted my pencil again. Geeh, was a long time ago I drew traditionally. Anyway, here is what the day brought.
Note 1. the reference for the female was wearing a dress aswell, but I wanted to practice bodylines, not dresses so left that out. Thus the highheels. So no, my reference was not from a pornmagazine or something along those lines
Note 2. They were drawn on simple white paper, I just put this texture behind it to make it a bit easier on the eyes. The bright white is sometimes killing my eyes.

figured I'd but if behind a NSFW spoiler, though its not really nsfw

soo luvely!!

just something...and this MAY just be me, but i've noticed when viewing a person from the side, their eyes look much less like a oval and more like "< )" shape, if you know what i mean, especially on realism, it really helps with the anatomy imo. but it's only a suggestion... : )

I agree with Lady K's suggestion. I tend to overlook that fact as well.

And lovely work Tommy. I love how detailed the ear looks

Quick scetch of Farai & Frost.


@ Verene, Would I have your permission to give her a samurai inspired dervish armor? Instead of the vabbian I scetched now.

I will be away to Russia next week, so no work from me then.

Ooooooooooh.

And yes, play around with whatever armor design you want! I'm actually using Monument (which is quite samurai-inspired) at the moment XD I believe there's a picture of it in the Art Wanted thread.

Have fun in Russia! That sounds like fun ^^

Cool poses on that action scene. I think the left arm holding the scythe has a bit of an awkward hand placement - as if it should be placed at a farther distance from the other hand.

And it's a bit hard to tell right now, but does that hand have an overhand or underhand grip? Right now, it looks like she has an underhand grip which doesn't make sense if she's wielding a two-handed polearm.

P.S. Have fun in Russia, where car drives you!
