@Neith: thx



I just did a few quick characters and a creature nothing special, just some junk. I'll get back to serious ideas later. Peace out.

I did quite a few color value drawings, while listening to a lot of music. I think the music helped me to keep going. I listened to Rob Dougan, Miles Davis, The Doves, and Kaori Kobayashi. Very great artists, but I digress.The first one is another clothing color value.



The idea behind this was quite simple. I love clothes :3. However, this time I learned a new technique which involved the noise filter, if done correctly it can produce stunning details and this is seen in the shirt and boots I drew. I focused heavily on detail on the shirt. Zooming in and out were really beneficial. The skirt was real simple. But, the hardest part was finding the light direction, which made me give up partially. The boots were pretty difficult to do. But as I said earlier, the noise filter was awesome!

The next drawing was the most challenging and most fun.





It was based on a Venetian cathedral. I felt that I should try my hand at architecture, which I rarely ever do. First, I tried to start without lines but that did not go so well. Therefore, I cheated , but it was still difficult to do with lines. And by the end I wanted to destroy all of the little statues that paraded the cathedral, lol.



The one above was just random. I did an aircraft in 15 minutes, which I think I should redo, and a film scene from one of my favorite movies. That picture is still a work in progress. Wow, I think this is my longest post ever. I was wondering... is there anyone who wanted me to draw them a non-Guild Wars character, I can only do one before I leave.....


I forgot to mention that this is the last time I'll be posting Guru. I know I didn't stay too long or didn't say much but I felt like this was a nice little home. From Aeronwen to Charlie, Morag, HigherMinion, Tommy and the countless others who gave me critiques or showed interest I wanted to say thank you for your support and encouragement. I will miss you all hope to see you in GW2. Peace.

@ Marshmallow: XD I love the pics. Oh my goodness she's so tiny but cute! Sure I can draw her.
@Aeronwen: Lol, I forgot all about Team 11. Did I remove the pics again.. hmm... I'll still leave some pictures here on the thread.

Nope I'm not posting in Whispers either. I don't have the time anymore. However, I will still be lurking here and there in the back drops. I really enjoyed it here though. I liked reading all of the stories produced by many individuals, like Konig's Rise of a Lich and Doctor Overlord's weekly comics . And I liked the effort put into some you guys characters like you Aeronwen, Hailfall, Morag, and IH. This is a very creative forum with so much talent. I'm happy I was part of it, even if it was for a little time.
