Ohhhhh, looks very awesome!

Woodelf Archer · Jan 01, 2011, 04:42 PM // 16:42

agreed, that's incredible

Thistle Xandra · Jan 01, 2011, 05:56 PM // 17:56

Wow, very nice!

Drelias Melaku · Jan 01, 2011, 09:16 PM // 21:16

Oo, so dark and gloomy. <3 Thank you! It looks like she's been doing a bit of blood magic...

Very pretty - I especially love all the details on the armor. Blood Magic is actually what got me into playing Necromancers. I made several different classes and deleted each one... And then I made a Necromancer and discovered Life Siphon. I mostly use Curses now, but there is still quite a lot of nostalgia with those blood spells.

I looove any life/blood leech in RPGs. <3 Thank you very much!

Now to catch you online to give you that 200k. =P

thanks all, I'm glad everyone like it, i haven't really expected to because of all the blood XD

lol, Drelias I'm glad you like it, but i don't remember this being a commission

you don't have to pay me anything, save it when i start doing commissions ;P

will post later today some traditional sketches (if i don't forget) that I've done after 9-10 years of break XD

oh, next one will probably be Kimi or Bebex's monk, i already have sketches for monk

That looks creepie Magik D: Very well done.

Bad luck you've got glasses now

I was afraid I was needing them too, but they where just stiff because I had been behind the computer at the same distance of too many hours and too many days. Perhabs you should give them some rest, not use the glasses too much. I heard then when you use glasses too much, it only gets worse.

GeminiJuSa · Jan 02, 2011, 02:08 PM // 14:08

It's rather the opposite with glasses; if you use them more when they are rightly adjusted the eyes and brain won't have to strain as much and the vision will, well, not improve but not go worse as fast, or at all.

Fierce · Jan 02, 2011, 04:09 PM // 16:09

Pretty!!!!! :/

Eastern Magik · Jan 02, 2011, 04:49 PM // 16:49

@Tommy well, it's supposed to be creepy :P

anyway, i got protective glasses, because my vision is perfectly fine (Thank God). I'm feeling a lot better now, and most importantly i don't have any headache anymore

and here is one fail

like i mentioned before, i haven't drew anything traditionally for the past 9 years or so. This picture took me 20 minutes, maybe half an hour, and i got to say how much i appreciate digital media and admire traditional artists, you have to make everything out of first try flawlessly >_<. Lol, it would be nice to have free transfer/liquify tools to correct all of the mistakes, so far everywhere i look i see something i would like to change XD

Yup yup, this. How bad your eyes are going to go is set more by your genetics than anything else; wearing glasses often will not speed it up. However, wearing them often will indeed often slow down the rate at which they get worse, and at the very least will make sure you can see what you're doing and you're not having to strain your eyes to do so.

I've worn glasses since I was 7, so for nearly 18 years, and while I'm currently so near-sighted that I cannot see more than three inches in front of my face clearly without them and I've developed astigmatism (thanks, mom!), my prescription has basically leveled itself out and I've only had to get new glasses twice in the past six years, and that was really just me wanting new glasses - my eyesight actually had hardly changed (other than suddenly needing prisms in my lenses...sigh). Previous to that I had to get new ones every year.

Anyway!

Drelias's necromancer looks amazing! The blood is actually a nice touch. Not so much that it's over the top, either. And the pencil sketch is also very nice, and honestly, I'll always prefer traditional media. There's always little quirks that you can't simply easily fix that help make up the artist's style.

@Magik: I had offered 200k in my first post.

But I'll get that 200k to you somehow, whether it's for this picture or by commissioning you later for my circus-y mesmer. >:| Though I usually have terrible timing when it comes to commission threads. xD

On the topic of glasses, I've worn them since I was 5 or 6 and I've needed a stronger prescription every year since. I haven't had the money in the past two years, though, so I get headaches a LOT because my eyes strain so much. I'll probably have to wait another year to get them - my fiance and I are getting married in November, and I'll be able to get on his insurance then. Unless I can find a job that offers eye care insurance, but those are scarce these days.

The traditional sketch is lovely. I prefer traditional myself because it's a bit more hands-on and I can do it anywhere. Plus it just seems so much easier to me to see the lines coming out of my pencil rather than a cursor on the computer. The tools and layers in digital are pretty nice, though.

Eastern Magik · Jan 03, 2011, 11:43 AM // 11:43

Thanks Verene, im glad you like it

As for the sketch, will definitely color it digitally just to see the comparison of the two

@Drelias tbh, i don't think waiting list for my commissions will be too long (if any) XD so you probably don't have to worry about that :P

Sorry to hear about your headaches

Ravenhawk · Jan 03, 2011, 01:47 PM // 13:47

Eastern - The necro pic looks awesome! Wait, you're accepting commissions again?

Eastern Magik · Jan 03, 2011, 04:58 PM // 16:58

Thanks Mina

Yes, after im done with Divas series, i'll change this topic into the commission one.

Anyway, since i already have sketch for monk, i decided to finish her before i change my mind and start everything from scratch

Also, started sketching Kimi ^^
