No D:

It's actually an olive-brown color. The lighting and other colors around it can make it seem that way though.... :/

But no, its a fair brown mix with dark olive. It actually looks like the skin color of the character.

You already said it When you paint, the colors you pick should not be based on only the value of the color, but also on the rest of the colors. Ambient light casts different colors on the skin (or whatever you are drawing really, except a black hole perhaps ). So if you want an olive brown skin, in a really red environment, the color you choose should be a lot more red as well. It's all about warm and cold colors.

Perhaps you find this useful Check the Color Relativity part.

This is true. And I was considering changes it around a bit. But overall I prefer the color it's tinted. Weird as that sounds. :3

Its not cause im lazy, just personal preference

Hey all! Sorry I haven't been on much. Holidays = insanity XD

Mmk, here's the waiting list. It's rather long.

For those who want a commission, speak now or forever hold your peace (for a while anways). After this last batch I'm gonna take a break and do some artwork for myself. :]

AND HERE'S THE LIST:

1: Konig
2: Thistle
3: Fowlero
4: The Holy Dragons (maybe)
5: Alathin
6: AlexaCocopuffs (pm request)

------------------------------------

So there's the list guys. Unless someone else asks for one by 2am pst, I'm editing the thread to closed. I'll then finish the remaining commissions and take my break :3

And because I've seen other commissioners do it, I'll go ahead and post the payments of all my wonderful commissioners! :]

Note that some of these are based on memory. So if I'm not 100% accurate, I apologize in advance (most I remember tho). The ones I don't remember will have subtitles.

Lolana Darkeyes (Mesmer) - 100k + 20e
Cheap Arie (Monk) - 50 Obsidian Shards
EtherealByte (Assassin) - 75k (ish... Don't quite remember XD)
EsmeQ (Elementalist) - 100k+ (was 100k plus a tip. Don't remember what tho)
Zephy (Warrior) - 146k
Messy (Chibi Ranger) - 1 Armbrace, 56 Obsidian Shards
Lolana Darkeyes (Warrior) - 100k + 20e + 20 Obsidian Shards
Thistle (Assassin, incomplete) - 50k, 1 stack of granite, 3 stacks of iron? (I think... She paid in advance :])
Here's to Life (Dervish) - 200k
Jonte (Ranger Sig) - 85k (ish? It was in ectos and not quite enough for 100k :])
Dead Soul (Necromancer) - 50e
Nuclear (Ranger) - 1 stack of eggnog, 1 stack of spiked eggnog, 1 stack of fruitcake, and a few other things I can't remember :]
Dead Soul (Ranger and Panda) - 50e


----------------------------------------------

I'd like to say thank you all so much!!! You guys'n'gals have been great!! This is pretty much my only source of ingame income (apart from running places for tips), so thank you all so much for helping me so much!!

I still need a total of about 2750k to finish rank 3 zaishen, sweet tooth, and drunkard (They're so expensive :<). That will finish all the money-costing aspects of my Hall of Monuments!!
I'm at 42/50!! Going for 50/50.

And thank you all in advance for whatever you guys will give me! It's all very much appreciated!! ^^

----------------------------------------------

And last bit that you guys haven't seen. Dead Soul's Panda commissions. Here ya go
