Haven't done anymore work on my Monk yet...had to quickly finish writing an article for GuildMag and then was working a bunch. I think I'm going to leave it for a bit since the idea of starting those tattoos is a bit daunting o.o

So new WIP, worked on for about an hour so far. Yes, I know, the face looks really weird, I'm working on it

Nice start. I love the hair so far.

And yeah I know what you mean about monk tattoos. that's prolly why I rarely draw my monk lol

Finished it -

Full-sized closeup

But those tattoo designs are so awesomeeeeee.

Like the half-face view on the mesmer here.

Verene · Apr 10, 2011, 02:23 AM // 02:23

She is not actually a Mesmer, though I will admit that part of why I initially liked Mesmers in GW was because I've always had a fascination with masks, both actual, physical masks and the emotional/psychological ones that people hide behind (and I am definitely one of those people who does that). Thanks though

rofl, i'm doing the tattoo designs for Nix in my comic, and I've decided that they would just change with each panel XD

She looks great, I especially like her eye and hair!

Verene · Apr 12, 2011, 07:08 PM // 19:08

Thanks! I had fun painting this

And yeah XD Monk tattoos are awesome, but so complex.

Thistle Xandra · May 09, 2011, 05:30 AM // 05:30

awesome video

makes me excited to play GW2 since I didn't know half the stuff you pointed out! Good luck!

Verene · May 16, 2011, 11:09 PM // 23:09

Thanks

It was fun to make ^^

So I'm working on my sylvari costume because ACen is this weekend, and I kind of need to get it finished already...dress is not ready enough for pictures, but I just finished (mostly) the wig!

Looks kind of bleh from the front right now, since I have the bangs pinned back to dry so that they'll be less in the way...

From the side and back, though, looks better.

It's not what I originally wanted to do, but what I originally wanted wasn't something I'd be able to pull off with this wig. Still looks damn cute, though, I think!

Araiia · May 16, 2011, 11:24 PM // 23:24

Ooooooh I love the wig! Looks very elegant and elfish!

Now I'm curious to see what the outfit will look like all together. Take some picturesss~

Verene · May 17, 2011, 05:50 PM // 17:50

Thanks

Dress is finished; looks kinda meh on a hanger, but on it looks awesome.

I've yet to try on everything all together, but there'll be pictures of me in full costume next week.

Now I need to find my green costume makeup...

Verene · May 29, 2011, 03:52 AM // 03:52

So I am in the process of re-reading The Hero and the Crown for the hundredth time, and I felt the sudden desire to paint the main character, Aerin. Here's ~25 minutes of progress -

It'll make more sense if you've read the book

Verene · May 30, 2011, 02:50 AM // 02:50

Bit more work...

frostkisses · May 30, 2011, 11:18 PM // 23:18

cant say ive read that, but your painting is lookin good!

BlackXI · May 31, 2011, 03:01 PM // 15:01

Oh my Verene, that's a lovely wip, can't wait to see it finished. And I have heard that book is a good read, I should check it out.

Verene · Jun 01, 2011, 05:15 PM // 17:15

Thanks!

And yes, it is a great book - it's been a favorite of mine for about fifteen years now. Aerin herself is one of my favorite fictional characters from a novel ^^

All finished! I was going to do closeups but Photoshop went "ahhh no I don't think so". The PSD for this is 240MB o.o

Ravenhawk · Jun 01, 2011, 05:42 PM // 17:42

Wow Verene, that turned out really great. Your best drawing so far IMO.

Eastern Magik · Jun 01, 2011, 06:20 PM // 18:20

she looks really nice Verene

. Although her cheeks wouldn't mind a bit of softer ( airbrush

) touch...
