I must say; your art, dear Tzu, always pleases my eyes. Who needs earthly joys when there's fine art!

Tzu · Nov 26, 2010, 02:59 PM // 14:59

Thanks for the kind feedback.

I just feel a bit frustrated because I experienced a peak a month or so ago during which I felt like I was making progress technically. But now it feels like I havent learned anything new at all. XD I'm going to play around some more to solve this fluke and try to get back on track.

I toyed around with rosemary's portrait some more yesterday:

Now I'm going to switch character again and maybe try full body something. :/

@ Perynne: You mustn't feel like you owe me anything ^^' but of course I would love for you to sketch one of my characters if you have the time!

Sec, I will find some reference pictures for you to look at.

EDIT: Tzu, Sandford, Nyx, Thyme or Fimbulvetr?

Only if you find any of them inspiring of course.

That looks absolutely beautiful! I'd love to return the favor if you do draw my mesmer but as long as you don't mind the timeline on the when and stuff..and my tendency to experiment which doesn't always yield to a better result than my previous ones ^^"

Tzu · Nov 26, 2010, 03:12 PM // 15:12

Oh sure, I don't mind delays at all, I totally understand. Good thing you caught me right away, I'll give your mesmer a try.

Looking great as always

Rosemary has something really real over her, its something about the lightning I think, can't really put my finger on it, but looks great!

Ravenhawk · Nov 26, 2010, 03:22 PM // 15:22

Cool! I'll add you to my trades *dances happily*. Also added your DA account in my "What's Coming" section so I wouldn't forget:
http://roguemina.deviantart.com/

Is there a place where I can pull your character info. I save all my art trade character profiles for reference cos I never know when the inspiration is gonna hit me. ^_^

Perynne · Nov 26, 2010, 03:47 PM // 15:47

Oooh, thank you so much! She looks soooo pretty. :3 I absolutely love how you did her eye, very close to what I imagined it looks like. Thank you so so so much. <3

Well, I'm in a bit of a slump today too, so I think drawing something quick will do me good too.

I'll definitely draw one of your girls, either today or on the weekend.

GeminiJuSa · Nov 26, 2010, 04:07 PM // 16:07

Wow! The latest pic was just... Smashingly stunning! Although it looks a bit like you got all "meh" on the shoulders. I really really like the hair and the little "fold" by the nose!

Drelias Melaku · Nov 26, 2010, 04:41 PM // 16:41

So realistic! Another beautiful picture, Tzu.

The background, though undefined, adds so much to it, too. It's almost like a photograph. The glow of her eye is especially interesting. I was wondering how that eye would look finished. Stunning.

InfestedHydralisk · Nov 26, 2010, 06:11 PM // 18:11

Lol I wish I could draw to do something in return aswell. D:

Perynne · Nov 26, 2010, 06:45 PM // 18:45

Didn't want to hijack your thread, so I posted the drawing of your ele in my thread. :3

Thank you again!

Tzu · Nov 26, 2010, 08:13 PM // 20:13

@ GeminiJuSa: dohoho, you noticed the shoulder XD I didnt realise before after I posted it, but yeah Ive been a little careless >.<''

@ Perynne: Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it. I was afraid I might've overdone it a bit, I've been watching too much sci-fi lately >.>' Thanks for the drawing of Freyja! First time she's ever been illustrated by anyone, including myself! ^^ I really like your style, and the colour palette is spot on. She's so pretty 8D

@ Ravenhawk: I've never really had such a place, but perhaps I should. I'll add an entry with the info to my blog tonight, I'll post a link here when I'm done.

@ Tommy: thanks. It's closer to where I want to be than what I previously did (and what i did today ^^') wohoo, back to the drawing board yet again.

@ InfestedHydralisk: Don't worry about that, I'm not going to make this thread based on art trades. I'll just doodle whatever inspires me at the moment and what I have time for.

humm, I tried something else for Mina cus I really wanted to make her look maleficent, but I think it detracted a great deal from the realism aspect. Nonetheless, here's what I had time for today, hope I don't disappoint you too much Raven.

InfestedHydralisk · Nov 26, 2010, 08:16 PM // 20:16

O wow that looks great!

1 thing though. Her right boob looks a little weird. Left from our view.

Drelias Melaku · Nov 26, 2010, 08:26 PM // 20:26

Oo, more realism! <3 Again, beautiful! She looks very cool with that light source. Something about the side of the face (her right, our left) looks a little off. Maybe the angle at which it goes up by the eyebrow? I'm not sure (terrible at realism myself), but that's really just a minor nit-pick.

GeminiJuSa · Nov 26, 2010, 08:30 PM // 20:30

@Tzu: Well, as long as you don't become like me; always forget to fix one thing in every drawing. :P

Tzu · Nov 26, 2010, 09:13 PM // 21:13

omg, I just noticed the boob thing too -_-''''''''''''''''''''''''''

man, I really need to focus more @.@ I'll do better next time, hopefully >.>'

InfestedHydralisk · Nov 26, 2010, 09:21 PM // 21:21

Don't get too frustrated, it will only make it worse (I think).
I still like it alot even with that error.

GeminiJuSa · Nov 26, 2010, 09:23 PM // 21:23

It's good we're only looking at the things that were made nicely ^^

Ravenhawk · Nov 26, 2010, 09:23 PM // 21:23

Oh wow! I am truly speechless lol. I lovelovelove it Tzu! Her hair is black but her GW version has really dark brown hair but damn! I love it!!!

The aura you gave her in your drawing is really really awesome. It suits her character so well.

Thank you again. Yes please, I'll need your characters info whenever you get the chance (no rush though as I am in the middle of something atm anyhow). Hope I won't disappoint lol. I am currently practicing on a little realism myself. <3

Oh would you upload this to your DA account? ^_________^

Aeronwen · Nov 26, 2010, 10:10 PM // 22:10

oh they are lovely Tzu.

I like Rosemary's ahir and what you did with the eye.

Mina is beautiful
