I like Nian's idea. I think shells are the way to go.

ooh, I love her face... she looks so realistic! Awesome job using no references :O

Tommy's · Jun 29, 2011, 04:05 PM // 16:05

Thanks for the feedback all! And the compliments

Nian convinced me to go back a bit towards the origin. So mermaid influences gogo. The greenblueish dots are resembling the places I'm going to add scales. Some more transparent then others, so a bit of a skinscale combination. Hope her chest looks a bit better this way, I narrowed it and changed the boobs a bit (mostly because I was going to loose the bikini, so they would fall more).
I tried adjusting the pupil a bit more like DBAA said, but in the progress she has gotten a lazy eye xd So I will need to look into that more

Think I'm going to redo the face a bit anyway to make it more characteristic instead of so softly and smooth looking.
2 more days till exam. bleh can't wait till I have vacation >.>

oooh koi fishes <333

that concept reminds me a lot of Jessica Truscott's Ariel

The palettes on this one look really nice. I love her angelic/innocent look. The subtle freckles is a nice touch.

Charlie Dayman · Jul 01, 2011, 05:16 AM // 05:16

Nice color palette on this one, Toms. The scale design is a good call - more interesting than the shell idea most people tend to use.

Progress on Gattsu's Ram. I figured it would look ugly in the colored pencil sketch style, so I figured I'd make it a quick digital painting. Quite a beastly ram!

Tommy's · Jul 04, 2011, 12:48 PM // 12:48

Found the previous version a bit too monotoned, so I figured I should play some around with the colors. What would suit better, Charr home wastelands or this ghostly scene?

Morag D · Jul 04, 2011, 02:00 PM // 14:00

oh I really love the ghostly blues

it'd be even better if the sky had some of the old reds and browns too around the top edges to balance everything out a bit

Gattsu05 · Jul 04, 2011, 05:46 PM // 17:46

Ya the first one syncs up quite well but the ghostly blues are just epic. I like Morag's idea to use reds around the top. It'd give the whole piece something like a twilight hours feel.

Drelias Melaku · Jul 04, 2011, 05:49 PM // 17:49

Wow, lucky Gattsu! I agree with the blue with reds on top.

Ravenhawk · Jul 11, 2011, 11:42 AM // 11:42

I think Tommy's get a kick out of making us die in anticipation thinking on how these drawings are gonna look finished!

The new one is looking great too. You're right, the blue background made it stand out more.

Tommy's · Jul 11, 2011, 12:51 PM // 12:51

Hahahahahaha, Oh Mina, you make me feel so evil >:]
I've promised myself not to start any new digital works before I finished the old though. Gattsu's Ram is in a stage of approval, currently working on a commission of a cute doggie (don't know if the requester wants his/her name out here). Then its time for Mina to get finished, together with Frost Kisses, going to completely redo frost. Then, I'm finally going to finish my mermaid thingie

Tommy's · Jul 12, 2011, 09:37 AM // 09:37

Finito!

Morag D · Jul 12, 2011, 11:15 AM // 11:15

very cool, I do like the head! I imagined the horns to be much bigger though

Gattsu05 · Jul 12, 2011, 03:28 PM // 15:28

I like the way it came out. The rifle looks amazing. Thanks again.

Verene · Jul 12, 2011, 07:53 PM // 19:53

The way the ears and horns are shaped remind me of a charr

Looks really awesome, good job ^^

Aeronwen · Jul 12, 2011, 10:08 PM // 22:08

I like his face and the rifle is cool. The background is pretty wonderful too

Charlie Dayman · Jul 13, 2011, 04:03 AM // 04:03

I really like the idea with the ghostly background. They remind me of the spirits you see in that Ascalon Dungeon intro. The spirit on the right is really cool, though his stance seems a bit strange. The silhouette could be stronger if you open the stance up, and bring in more negative space in between areas - that way he doesn't just look like one big shape.

The Ram character is very cool too. Definitely like the axe head attached instead of a bayonet. He definitely reminds me more of a Charr - mainly the horns and that his face isn't as elongated as that of a ram's.

Tommy's · Jul 13, 2011, 11:33 AM // 11:33

Thanks all

And yes Charlie, I got the idea from the ghost from the Ascalon Dungeon trailer

But you'll need to explain me the negative space part of your comment, you really lost me there

Some progress on my next commission:

Colors are not 100% spot on, somehow photobucket changes the color of things I upload. Kind of annoying..
