Thanks Charlie, Morag, and Raven <3

I *finally* finished off my Wintersday story so the link in the first post goes to the whole version (https://thistlexandra.wordpress.com/...-contest-2010/). I didn't really change anything, but I broke the old chapter 8 again into an 8 and 9 (no other changes). Here's the last bit for those that only had the last chapter to read (old chapter 9, current chapter 10) and don't want to go scroll all the way to the bottom of the linked version:

Summer's been busy so haven't had much time to draw or stop by D: Here are two pieces I've been working on though I'm trying to go more towards exaggeration over realism and trying to make up my own poses. I'm having the hardest times with limbs though D:

This is Drelias's mesmer:


This is my little paragon <3

The paragon turned out great! The mesmer came out good as well. I love how you drew the corset. <3

super belated thankies and hugs, Magik and Raven <3 BTW, that hair style is from the wedding costume pack and it's the cutest haircut ever!

Haven't been doing too much drawing lately D: Here's my latest one though:


It's an old commish of Pery's Dervish that I *finally* finished since I had a huge art block on the earlier version D: This means I'm finally done with all the pics I've promised to people Yay!

She's supposed to be sitting on a Wurm she defeated in the Crystal Desert :O Oh, and drawing cloth folds is hard I need to go study clothing...

Thanks all

and woot, IH! I've been trying to figure out how to do anime-ish hair for most of my drawings, and I think I've finally figured it out! Also, I haven't seen Pery in a while, but I sent her a PM, so it should be a fun surprise for her when she stops by again

You are showing amazing progress Thistle, specially in faces and hair, really great job! Pery is on vacation for a week or so, not sure if she left already or will in a few days, so don't go sad when you don't get a response soon

Ah no I hadn't seen the last chapter. But it isn't all there - it just runs out mid word for me - whats wrong.

OH NO D: Do you mean on Wordpress or here? It looks fine to me on both D:

I took out the rough drafts (except for chapter 10) and consolidated them all on wordpress so you should hopefully be able to read the whole thing there (let me know if you can't and I can always email you the pdf or try to attach it in a PM). I should point out that I ended up splitting the last chapter into 3 chapters, so if you didn't read the chapter *right* after the super sad one (which is 7), then you'll need to actually check wordpress for 8 and 9 because the chapter 10 that I posted won't make any sense at all Sorry for the confusion!

wow, you've improved a lot since I last saw your art O.O

love the poses, and how clean and shiny your recent arts are!


Is your 50k female slot still open? o: I'd love to snag that for some art of my upcoming Mesmer, either paying or as a trade (I want to draw again!)

Sorry for the delay, here she is!

Presenting my Mesmer, 3 days old (...or should I say young)

Her gloves should be fingerless with gold trim (Elite Luxon) and dyed white.
Her shoes should also be white (they're silver in the screenshot).
If you want to draw headgear, I would prefer a white 1k Luxon Assassin mask!

Given that this is a trade, is there any other info you need? The size/style etc is up to you.
