Awesome work as always. =) Would very much be interested in some work. (maybe, maybe not gw related)

-has mesmer references at the ready-

About the headaches - Verene may have sent me a solution to that, so I'll be looking into that very soon.

Hopefully sooner than later.

Can't wait to see the diva series finished! It's been great seeing each piece, and I'm excited about seeing the monk surrounded by butterflies.

That necro will give me a sleepless night!

Awesome as always

*blush* it seems I don't know obby armour when i see it, then again most of the obby is horrible (rangers have the nicest :P)

@IH yeeeeeees, something like that :P

@Mina haha, im glad you like them so much that you want more

anyway, just make sure to reserve one spot since im not very good at remembering stuff XD

@Unlucky Slayer ty, glad you like it. And ofc, i can do non gw art too (with or without screens provided, doesn't really matter, as long as you provide some description of your char looks/personality).

@Drelias im doing a little background too, when i think of monks the first thing that comes to my mind is nature, so a little nature surroundings will make picture more alive i think

@Aero sorry if i scared you, it was my intention ;P

i thought that of obsidian armors too, once. But now i kinda like it, its the only armor for paragons made of metal and not leather/cloth. Obsidian for warriors is nice too...

Awesome, I'll have to decide between two of my D&D characters to get a piece done. =)

InfestedHydralisk · Jan 04, 2011, 06:18 PM // 18:18

I don't like any Obsidian armors. And they are definitly not worth the money.

Unlucky Slayer · Jan 04, 2011, 06:24 PM // 18:24

Only Obsidian armor I like would be the female Mesmer.

Ah yeah, that's the only good one.

I absolutely love the Obsidian boots for Paragon. Best boots in the game, I think.

I'm not terribly fond of most other Obsidian armors, though. I do agree that rangers have a lovely set.

I have the full set of Obsidian for my necro, but that was pretty much only because I needed it for HoM, and I already had the leggings for my mix. Can't be bothered to look up the rest of the Obsidian armors right now. =P

Monks in pretty nature scenes sound really nice. <3 I briefly considered getting a commission of my monk in the Vanguard fields awhile ago (before I remembered how little I like my monk), so I can definitely see where you're coming from with that idea. :3

Eastern Magik · Jan 05, 2011, 04:01 PM // 16:01

@Unlucky Slayer sure thing

@Drelias yeah, and i blame Dwayna for that XD

Anyway, started with some green mountain behind her, and idk somehow i ended up with.....

..../fail -_- need to polish my speed painting skills more >_> but the good thing monk is gonna cover up most part of this picture so...

off to watch Daniel Conway "Skin Deep" epicness and learn some useful stuff ;P

Drelias Melaku · Jan 05, 2011, 05:26 PM // 17:26

O my. That is so NOT a fail.

It's a very beautiful scene - I could totally see that on a load screen.

InfestedHydralisk · Jan 05, 2011, 06:28 PM // 18:28

Not bad at all in my oppinion, it has a very GW-ish style to it aswell.

Thistle Xandra · Jan 05, 2011, 07:06 PM // 19:06

That's a gorgeous scene, Eastern! Drelias totally took the words out of my mouth: That is so NOT fail! (although I would add more "o's" so it's "soooooooooooo NOT fail")

Ravenhawk · Jan 05, 2011, 07:48 PM // 19:48

Looks like Gwguru has produced another concept artist waiting to be hired by ANet! *points at Eastern*

Aeronwen · Jan 06, 2011, 08:27 AM // 08:27

Thats lovely, Magik. I really like what you have done with the water.

And I totally needed a scene like that to recover from the necro!

Eastern Magik · Jan 06, 2011, 04:18 PM // 16:18

thanks guys, i really appreciate your support *huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug*

but i still need to practice a lot, i actually spent the last 2 hours in search for the tutorials. Found lots of useful stuff (and a bunch of video tuts yaaaay), and one thing in-particular, you can actually put downloaded brushes in ps brushes folder and then just load them in ps from sets, like in painter :OOOOOO can't believe i never tried this before, instead i had like 500+ brushes loaded every time *embarrassed* anyway, i'll make a little break from painting for the day or two, (after all it's Christmas tomorrow ^^) and i wanna give my eyes a little rest

Charlie Dayman · Jan 06, 2011, 05:32 PM // 17:32

Cool landscape. Kind of looks like something out of NF.

Eastern Magik · Jan 08, 2011, 04:31 PM // 16:31

thanks Charlie :3

anyway, heres another landscape painting, Kurzick lands. Its better that Battle Isles, but im still not satisfied. Need more practice!!!!!

monk is almost done, just need to add tattoos and textures... And background >_> <_< >_<

InfestedHydralisk · Jan 08, 2011, 04:41 PM // 16:41

I think the tree in the back needs the same bottom as the trees in the front. And the wall+gate doesn't really look straight. Those are the only issues I believe. Other then that it looks really great.

Tommy's · Jan 08, 2011, 06:56 PM // 18:56

Palettes you use on the sceneries are really brilliant. The colors are great. The sun + water in the previous one were great, and now this one. Very lovely. You gave me an idea for something I'm doing myself with this last one
