Curse

Moral55 · May 30, 2008, 02:04 AM // 02:04

I like the location your right it does fit and the skull feels bit off to me since it almost looks like it would fall from her hands at any second.
On second look the skull is floating right?

That is the only critique I have though.

Oh man those are SO cool... That mesmer is very VERY hot Saraphim. nice indeed. You can tell you do this for a living ^^

Nemesis Xero · May 31, 2008, 05:56 PM // 17:56

Wow those look awesome, very realistic

Saraphim · Jun 01, 2008, 10:07 PM // 22:07

Thanks.

Okay.. had an eleventh hour request for DS backgrounds this weekend,

and I'm not really in a position to turn work down just now. Self employment sucks when you take holidays and realise no-one's going to pay you while you're off.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback guys. Moral, yes.. I'm thinking the skull is hovering, in an eerie glow so to speak (doesn't come off very well in a line drawing).

Unlucky Slayer, I am halfway through the colour paint on your mes... I would've had a fully painted one today if it hadn't been for these chuffing backgrounds I had to do. Hey ho, money money... s'all good.

I'll post a low-res version as soon as I get a bit more done, I'm such an anal retentive about half finished stuff.

ps. Edited list again... meep.... must draw faster.

No worries, making money > not making money for doing the same thing. =P

Cant wait to see it though. <3

Lyonette · Jun 01, 2008, 11:48 PM // 23:48

fantastic work so far Saraphim

and yes real life must come before all else xD

i'm enjoying seeing your progress on the commissions, that helps me wait for mine ^^

hope you didn't spend all weekend working

Moral55 · Jun 03, 2008, 12:58 AM // 00:58

Is it possible to make the skull itself translucent like a spell effect or would that mess with the overall image?
Oh yes and you warned up at the start, I see no fault over choosing real money over game gold.

Absolutely possible I like that idea.

I don't want anyone to pay me real money though, seriously. I'm having a ball with this, don't want it to be like 'work'.

Okay, update for Unlucky Slayer

http://www.box.net/shared/1k7msl6asg

Haven't put the sword in yet but I'm almost there with the paint. I have a few things niggling me with the lip colour and the odd bit here and there. Got to do her legs and the (her) left side of the coat. Also the water/rain on the floor is just placeholder at the moment for my benefit tonally while I'm painting.

Sorry about my sporadic posting. Getting hectic here, almost got everything sorted for the wedding .. except what I'm wearing...

Unlucky Slayer · Jun 04, 2008, 10:36 PM // 22:36

Oh and if its not too late, Katherine has green eyes. =3 Other than that It's looking great! =3

Saraphim · Jun 04, 2008, 11:15 PM // 23:15

Ah thanks! They looked brown to me..

No not too late.

May have been in the screens, not sure.

I like the green eyes though. <3

Moral55 · Jun 04, 2008, 11:44 PM // 23:44

Did it sound like that? If so sorry I just meant your job took precedence.

Edit: Boy the eyes sure are bright green in game though my necromancers is an unnatural emerald green, In game it looks good but
Something a little more natural might work better in the picture.

Saraphim · Jun 07, 2008, 11:33 AM // 11:33

Sorry, I'm such a dunce at times..

Ok, Unlucky Slayer... got a 'finished' version for you. If all is fine I'll PM you the link to download a zip file with the hi resolution photoshop file, plus a jpeg and png.

Click for embiggenment:
Partial nudity NSFW

So that pushes Racthoh into active, and I'll get a prep sketch done for that one and start painting Moral55's Necro.
I've got four more DS backgrounds to do over the weekend, but I'll get started as soon as is humanely possible.

Tosha · Jun 07, 2008, 12:07 PM // 12:07

*edit for update:
I want to change my commission. I originally asked for just an avatar, but I am quitting GW, so I want something bigger

Need to spend my last cash on SOMETHING :P
SO I would like a full body color with background picture of my ranger.

(just tell me if you need more screenies)
Ow, and I love kittens, but I dont know if you like drawing them

For the background something in a forest, the rest is up to you

My IGN is Tosha Daydreamer

Thanks in advance

Unlucky Slayer · Jun 07, 2008, 07:00 PM // 19:00

Very awesome. =) Would love to have the full rez versions. =) Also if anyone else wants the full they can ask for it too just not the .psd. =3

Saraphim · Jun 07, 2008, 07:13 PM // 19:13

'Tis in the post, so to speak.

Tosha, I'll add you to the list.

Morag D · Jun 09, 2008, 06:58 AM // 06:58

Lyonette · Jun 09, 2008, 10:49 PM // 22:49

i absolutely love the broken sword in pieces in front of her, looks amazing!

ikarop · Jun 10, 2008, 03:28 PM // 15:28

Ops! Sorry I just realized that you have a commission thread, I emailed you bit ago, there are the details, if you are finnally interested I'll post screens here, ty again!

Saraphim · Jun 10, 2008, 05:55 PM // 17:55

Hi ikarop, I got your messages.

Yes that'll be fine. It'll be a while before I can get to it though, I'm away for three weeks starting from the end of next week. But while I'm away I'm going to take all the screenshots with me and get some pencil prep stuff done for as much of the list as possible.
