Yeah I agree with Infested here. The cap is showing too much face. Looking at the Dervish you posted you can see that its almost even covering her eye, and she is slightly less bended with her head. That would mean, Dhuum would miss almsost an eye. Ofcourse, that would be a terrible waste of the beautifull skull you painted Placing the middle of the cap a bit more to (our left) so more in the middle of his skull, and removing a bit of the cap on our left, aswell as a bit on the high part.

To explain it a bit better: forgive me using it in photoshop.


Hope that helps :3

I think it's your texturing that makes your work so nice to look at. You get those outlying textures with vine charcoal?

That's stunning! I smudge my art way too much (even if using a clean piece of paper), so I rarely draw in traditional mediums any more. How long did the charcoal piece take, out of curiosity?

Can't do anything but agree with the crowd! This is really amazing! I could never be that good with traditional OR digital art! Nice work!

This is excellent work; I also just looked at the Wintersday painting on guildwars.com and it's so cute. You deserve that everlasting Rudolph tonic!
