Ooo, I knew it would be Frostkisses, and it looks just beautiful! I love the way you draw faces so much. <3 Congratulations, Frost! Okay, now to try to look away long enough to get some refs of Latrial.

Latrial Nimvanna: x x
Her favorite armor is what is pictured - Elite Druid gloves, Krytan vest, Elite Studded skirt and Embroidered boots. She has a tiger, Darius, though she loves all that nature has to offer. Most often runs Prepared Shot, Barrage, Enraged Lunge or Heal as One. Loves taking her pets (Darius and her miniature Yeti) everywhere she goes, though she does leave Darius home if she's going somewhere particularly dangerous. Grew up in Shing Jea, loves everything to be as natural as possible. If she were ever to wear a full set of armor, it would be Rawhide/Ascalon or Krytan, though she much prefers to mix her armor as seen in the pictures.

Have you ever played as a water ele, Thistle? I've probably logged more hours in RA as a Water ele than anything else. It's really fun.
It probably helps that so many things in Water Magic are hexes and I'm a necromancer at heart... =P

The only fire build I can play anymore is Mind Blast. D: I can't stand any other ones. I haven't tried ER prot yet, though.

And yep. Did Sylva ever track you down in-game to give you your tokens?

@Mina

@Perynne it was a tough choice to make :X i know i would like to draw all of them, but unfortunately i don't have that much time *cries*

@Arduin thanks, glad you like it ^^

@Aero thanks

and thanks for the advice, i will most definitely watch my back lol j/k

@drelias thanks :333333

@bebe thank you *hugs*

@frost

@xandra ty

i first tried those custom brushes, but that was a waste of time >_< then i used my standard painting method: zoom really close on one window and add little brush strokes (also enabling scattering on the hard brush gives really nice details) and zoom out on second window so i see right away the result without zooming out and wasting precious time . Like this:




anyway, i won't start with ranger yet, still have some unfinished things to do. And i hope you guys won't mind if i take your rangers and give them something else to wear (it'll still be armor from gw ). Also, i will probably join wintersday workshop, if and only IF i come up with some good idea. I'll try to make something this weekend, and see if it looks ok, if not, returning to gw divas and ranger

It's a treat to see any art from you. Also, totally wouldn't mind if Latrial posed in something else for a picture.

Wow, your art is wonderful. I love what you've done with those chars, especially the ele. I particularly like the way her piercing blue eyes stand out.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

@Guy Incognito thanks, glad you like it :3



wintersday idea: apparently its not so easy to come up with some good and original idea for wintersday... it's all about either Dwayna or Grenth, polar bear or grentchies or something like that :S I was thinking a little about Desmina, but she is more Halloween then Wintersday girl O_o

also, this is nice O_O

That is nice. <3 I love finding pictures like that in-game. Though I can't tell if that's concept art or one of their pretty in-game paintings or stained glass things...

They've got those ingame, as parts of broken-down murals after the Searing. I believe it was around Pockmark Flats that the Dwayna one was... but some of the gods were also in the Dragon's Gullet.

I love that art too, always felt like it should be used more visibly in the game.

@Tzu nice armor combination O______O



They are using concept art for in-game murals. The hidden door in Cathedral of flames leads to halls with several murals of GW gods (one of them is concept art of Abbadon). This one is from The Catacombs of Pre-Searing Ascalon. It got my attention more that the other ca of Dwayna, because of the wings, which i'll use for my wintersday entry
