Amazing work, although, imo, rotate the mirror 180 degrees

Konig Des Todes · Jan 19, 2009, 02:28 AM // 02:28

I disagree with above, the mirror looks great like that.

I love it!! a GREAT picture, and I think the rest speaks for itself =].

My friend Kiti put an image on ImageShack and I think it's a perfect example of the kinda style I want the image to be.

if it dosen't work:

http://img383.imageshack.

I'm hoping it shows the pic lol. Ok there's ofc a few differences between this example pic and the image I'm picturing in my head. The first and obvious being there is gonna be a background lol. The second thing,also obvious, is that there's 6 or 7 ppl in the shot,not 4 [gah I can't remember ROFLMAO!].
The third difference is that ofc we aren't gonna be using weps.

But apart from those 3 differences this is the perfect example for how I see the picture. I also feel I haven't done enough of a story or discription for each of the characters so I'll sort that out and post back here when done it.

That's awesome, can't shake the feeling there needs to be something reflecting in the mirror though.

Well, it is of me...and I love it. And as long as the customer is happy!

The assassin came out absolutely stunning man

Great Job.

EmJey · Jan 20, 2009, 01:39 PM // 13:39

i modified the assassin picture a bit , it needed more lighting here and there and everything was just a little too much blue i suppose, you can see it at front page.

as for Yasmin, i will continue work on your mesmer this weekend, im pretty crazy with all the work and things going on during working days.

kylanf · Jan 20, 2009, 05:36 PM // 17:36

*faints* The beauty and realism of your art is truly unique. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said you were one of the best artists on this whole site, if not the entire Guild Wars community. I am definately looking forward to what you have in store for me now. But please, take your time. I know you have others to do ahead of mine and I'm not surprised, because your work is so outstanding. Great job!

Mr. Fish · Jan 21, 2009, 09:45 PM // 21:45

EmJey,
I know I have said this before, but you absolutely blow me away. Your new piece of the Assassin is just breath-taking. What I am about to say is 100% true and I hope other artists on this site don't hate me for it... : You are THE single best fan-site artist I have ever seen. Each piece of your artwork expresses a truely genuine mood. For crying out loud : You can create the attitude of a character through a drawing! I feel like I know the characters you have drawn just by looking at your art. Simply amazing. I know you must be at the point of insanity from reading the multiple similar comments I have wrote about your artwork, but I just have to express how amazed I am with every one of your pieces of art. I hope that you share your artwork with as many people as possible, because with talent such as that I have no doubt that there will be hundreds of others who share my awe. Three Thumbs Up!

~ ><> Fish

Kinlo · Jan 25, 2009, 08:13 AM // 08:13

What Mr. Fish said is totally true! You are the best ever fan-site artist. I will post a recommend soon although there is a waiting line

. Well anyway I want to say your art is AMAZING!

sorry im slow, finishing the background.

Absinth actually yes i did go for that theme, i didnt plan to draw her face without a mask at first i sort of used the reference for her face from that drawing coz it kinda looks abit like Ala`s character
i dont work for massive black, im from the wrong country heh.

Rydia Merchan · Jan 26, 2009, 01:39 AM // 01:39

It looks beautiful!!!

On a lighter note, I like Ala without the mask, like my mes, I bet she just wears it sometimes to be a tease!

I'm very happy with the result so far!! I can't thank you enough.

I've finally decided on a char, went around in circles but ended up going back to my main again, should you decide to draw her.

The weapons she uses are http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Image:Katana.jpg and http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Pronged_Fan although feel free to use one, none, or your own choosing

Sue Aside is a very mischievous and adventurous mesmer, sometimes too much for her own good. She worked as a bodyguard of sorts for the Kaineng traders who did not believe in violence as an answer. Instead, she would provide cover by showing the attackers temporary visions of phantoms that were not really there, allowing the traders and herself a quick getaway.

Through her line of duty she met a mysterious male mesmer and they fell in love. He bought her many expensive dresses, and armors before he finally purposed to her. On the day of their wedding, many traders who loved Sue attended to see this blessed day.

That day however proved fatal when her groom revealed himself as Am Fah. The groom and his side of the "family" raised their weapons to the traders, and many if not all were slaughtered that day. The Am Fah proved victorious and ran out of the wedding area to raid the houses of those whom they had killed.

Sue was left crippled and bleeding not only physically, but internally as well from the betrayal of her fiance. Since then, violence became an answer. Her methods became more torturous, especially with Am Fah. Not only would she give them false visions, but she would wear down their energy and cause them to attack themselves helplessly.

While she no longer works with the Kaineng traders, she can still be seen walking along the roads and cities of Cantha, seeking revenge on those who betrayed her.

If you chose mine feel free to dirty up her dress, she doesn't have to stay clean and pristine.

And yes, she is a bit inspired by the bride from Kill Bill.

Kerwyn Nasilan · Feb 22, 2009, 06:55 AM // 06:55

Bumping this up.

cataphract · Feb 26, 2009, 01:09 PM // 13:09

I must say this is by far the best artwork I've seen. I'm really impressed. Many thanks to Kerwyn for bumping this. No idea how I managed to miss this thread.

Rydia Merchan · Mar 04, 2009, 02:29 AM // 02:29

I'm excited to see her all finished and fancy!

Asplode · Mar 04, 2009, 10:57 AM // 10:57

I'm a fan of your work on backgrounds, they really give every piece a great amount of perspective and either contribute to the visual balance, like with the mesmer piece, or create a thematic ambiance, like with the assassin piece, and I really feel that it's an amazing strength to have.

However, if I may offer some constructive critique, it feels like the anatomy in the mesmer piece could use some refinement, like in the upraised shoulder; where the rotator cuff and latissimus dorsi come together at the right edge of the character's torso is a touch wide, and much too smooth of a curve.
Keep in mind that the entire area isn't a single muscle but a grouping of them; even though the character isn't exactly 'ripped', there will be an unevenness there. The next bit would be the upraised arm; anatomically, the visible gap between the upper arm and her head should be smaller as a result of the entire arm being lowered by about a finger's length and brought closer to the body very very slightly.
Proceeding down to the hips, if you'd notice there's a bit of disparity here on the angle of the character, the implied bends in her body, and the curvature of her back as opposed to the hips. This may just be a character thing, but it somewhat feels as though her butt should start just a wee tad bit higher, either that or her torso should be a wee bit shorter (and thus everyone else moves up a touch), at least that's how I'd do it

Pretty awesome start on that piece though, and judging by the linework it seems like you focused most of your time on that beautiful background so far anyway, so I can't wait to see the finished piece! ^_^

I need to visit this section of the forums more often. Let me just say WOW, your art is absolutely fantastic! I'll be keeping a tab on this thread for sure.
