edit: will be opening a shiny and new commission thread soon since I can't seem to change the thread title or modify prefixes without continuously bugging Sierra :P

You're welcome to draw my Assassin (head armour) if the design appeals to you! owo

omens · Oct 26, 2010, 03:03 AM // 03:03

You could try my monk.

Thistle Xandra · Oct 26, 2010, 03:11 AM // 03:11

eeks D: I didn't take my scanner into account! This is what I have so far for you, but the scan didn't come out as well as I hoped

I'll have to see if taking an actual photo will give a better result, but I have to wait for the hubby to come home from his trip until I get my hands on the camera

miriforst · Oct 26, 2010, 08:13 AM // 08:13

hmm, i will screenshot 2 of my characters for you to choose and play around with

will post reference when i am free to do that (busy right now)

EDIT: ops i forgot to post:

That looks really good Thistle! Yeah wish it was bigger

Can't wait to see more from you.

Verene · Oct 26, 2010, 02:20 PM // 14:20

Scanners tend to lighten things a lot, yeah. Save it larger next time though

Hmmm...my Ranger?

Thistle Xandra · Oct 26, 2010, 03:21 PM // 15:21

thanks

I've added miriforest and verene, so I'm closing my call for reference shots until I get through these

Don't worry! I'll post the final versions on deviant. Right now I'm saving my little WiPs on photobucket. I need to figure out how to post thumbnails so the pic doesn't come out so ginormous on here D:

Araiia, still trying to figure out what kind of background for you D: I'm thinking a cherry blossom branch above with petals gently falling around her or Kaineng city background, but that might be too busy... or a Dolyak passed out in the background because of the staff XD

verene, what pet do you use?

Verene · Oct 26, 2010, 05:24 PM // 17:24

I actually had to go check, I don't use pets often XD Verene has a lynx, though.

Thistle Xandra · Oct 26, 2010, 06:51 PM // 18:51

oops, I probably should have asked *what pet would you like me to draw with your ranger*, because your ranger is getting a pet in the sketch

You want a lynx with her?

Verene · Oct 26, 2010, 07:11 PM // 19:11

Yes, lynx is good

(Her old pet before that was a mountain eagle, in case that's easier for you to draw)

This is what I've started for you

I need to finish her armor and figure out a background. I played around with my scanner a bit and I've discovered how to adjust the settings. It's still not great, but better than the other scan at least

I've got an idea for you Verene, basically your ranger finding a baby lynx and cuddling it while your eagle looks on...

Next update in a few days now since RL work is piling up again D:

Tommy's · Oct 27, 2010, 07:01 AM // 07:01

That looks pretty good already ^^

So, what's the downside? Well, I'm not an artist!

By what definition goes 'Artist' to you? Since you are doing it just for fun, so am I! And I guess so is Ravenhawk. And marsh. And all the others!

Thistle Xandra · Oct 27, 2010, 03:33 PM // 15:33

Thanks Tommy

I consider all of you artists because you can offer different art options and already have a sense of what you can do :P you're all growing as artists now! I'm still trying to figure what I can do

I consider myself a doodler trying to grow into an artist :P These are my first attempts at char sketches, so there has been alot of erasing! I'm thinking of getting a tablet for x-mas though

I want to try coloring these, but I feel like I would only have one shot to do it (which is why I'll take a 'finished' scan of the sketches before coloring) while the tablet would give me more freedom to go back and try again.

Btw, I created a new DA account so it matches my handle here and on wordpress. Now I have to go stalk all you Nolani artists and add you to my friends list (only have raven now

)!

Tommy's · Oct 27, 2010, 04:05 PM // 16:05

We all have started there! ^^ I got my tablet almost 1 year ago, my wintersday contest entry was the first time I used my tablet, so it will be a special Wintersday for me :3 If you do so, we are so much alike lol, I only started drawing like a few weeks before that aswell

it could be precicely a year since I draw now

And yeah tablets give alot more ctrl+z ability

cu on dA ^^

sorry for scanner quality!

Still have to a bunch of stuff to do on yours. Do you have any closer shots of that decoration in her hair or the decoration on her armor by chance? No worries if you don't, I'll just create a new character and see if I can figure out the detail on the hair and I can make up the armor decoration.

Ravenhawk · Oct 28, 2010, 01:22 PM // 13:22

Looking good Thistle!

Oooh...I know exactly what pose that is lol. Actually thought of using my ranger for that pose already but we'll see (*has another idea*). Might work on it tonight or tom myself ^^.
