I've started drawing a lot of GW-related artwork again, and figured I should probably make a thread to put them in. I used to have a commission thread over two years ago, and since that was mainly for commissions (plus my skills have improved since then), I didn't want to practice my thread necromancy skills. :P This one is going to be mostly to display my own GW drawings, and any commissions I've already undertaken. If you want to see some of my older GW and non-GW art, you can find them on my DeviantArt page at http://shinanai.deviantart.com.

I'm certainly looking fondly to seeing results.
Personal involvement retracted. I'd rather see some other characters.

i'd be more interested in art help, but heres my below average SC's~ the gal is more of a quiet and sensitive gal i think, haven't thought about mr ranger

Perynne · Jun 01, 2010, 01:30 PM // 13:30

Thanks everyone! And ooh, nice screenshots so far!

@mathiastemplar: Yup. Thanks for reminding me... I should put the link in my first post.

It's http://shinanai.deviantart.com You can find some of my older GW drawings there, plus some random other stuff too.

@Benderama: What kind of art help are you interested in?

Ravenhawk · Jun 01, 2010, 02:02 PM // 14:02

*adds Perryne to her watch list*

It would be a great honor to have you draw one of my characters! So I'll give this free sketch a shot

-------

Name: Mina

Description: A skilled mesmer with a temper to match. Mina has always been a mystery to both her opponents and even to her closest friends. She refuses to show her inner feelings and vulnerabilities, thinking that knowing one's weakness is the ultimate weapon against any opponent.

Despite all of this, Mina is very protective of her friends even if it means having to risk her own safety or her own life.

Mintha Syl · Jun 01, 2010, 02:19 PM // 14:19

May I try?

I take something like 1000 screenshots a week (not joking) so I couldn't scrape in there to find one. I simply did some new ones, but I don't know if they're nice. I had some nice ones with my derv but my main's my main!

A ranger's life

And don't try and hit me again!

What a big flower!!

Begging for some rain (and for a drawning

)

This is her background but since i only now noticed it's crazily long (and probably badly written) I think you'll simply skip it completely

Shady and peaced, she likes to live on memories and never wants to part from solid things. She likes living slow.
Not really good for a ranger, but she never pretended she to be agood one. She never even pretended to be a ranger, it's just people see you roaming around with a big cat and a bow and pretends you are. Sometimes people tries to teach her things a ranger should know, to fight efficiently, but she never listens, her head away in some far dream. Luckily Shilva, her feline companion, always learns something at those times so she knows she can cater on him. He's her only friend, the only one she loves and trusts, apart from her faithful bow. They've always been with her and so they are her iron anchor. But she's quite a solitary, she doesn't trust people and rarely wants them around. And when she's between her occasionary travel companions, she truly is by herself inside. The only one who gained her trust is Nicholas, the traveler firstly encountered in early Ascalon. This is due to Yakkington, which she's never fed to meet. With time she learnt how a lone traveler heart can be attuned with hers, even if their personalities are very different.
Her mask always covers half of her face, so that people can't see her expressions and read her soul. And she particularly fears mesmerizers for they are particularly good at doing it.

glad to see you're opening up a WIP thread for yourself. The commission for Tommy is totally cute! ^^

Chicken of the Seas · Jun 02, 2010, 03:34 AM // 03:34

Man I've been a fan of your art for several years now. Glad to see you active around here again. =) I think I have you watched on DA but i'll have to double check. =P

Figured I'd give my necro a go since there are already a few mesmers. =P

And a small backstory

Small backstory
“I did not became an necromancer by choice, I was born one..”

My mother was an Necromancer High Priest of a small cult, which name I cannot say. My father on the other hand was a Priest.. He was an Healer.. I realise that is an odd combination and everyone condemned my father for falling in love with my mother.

When I was little I always spent my times in the Graveyard, Death fascinated me. I remember the first time I raised my first minion, my cat had died and I did not want to lose it..

I knew my mother was able to exploit corpses and make them work for her. This of course my Dad didn’t like. “Let the dead be dead” . So I looked in one of her books and quickly found the spell that would make a minion. I went back to the place where I had buried him and started chanting the spell. I had no idea what I was doing but at that moment it felt all natural. And I succeeded! My first minion, my first Necromancy act. The only downside was that the following day my father had it killed. But I knew what I was destined to do. What I was destined to become…

I was to become a great Necromancer, one that would control an army of minions…

My Secksy Summoner

Drelias Melaku · Jun 03, 2010, 03:16 AM // 03:16

When she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural.

"I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says 'Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'"

Sorry for being greedy, but it can't hurt to try, right?

This is Illharess. She grew up in Ascalon, always marveling over the beauty of the place. She is obsessed with beauty. She started her training as a Necromancer in order to save her lush green home - and part of her was destroyed along with Ascalon. It drove her a little mad. Her preferences have gotten a bit darker these days, with the notion that there is nothing, nothing in this world more beautiful than her homeland - even after the Searing. Of course, that doesn't stop her from looking. She's drifting, withdrawn, and has a hard time interacting with other people. Without the proper focus, every spell consumes just a little of her soul, and with it, more of her sanity.
