Looks awesome, no criticism from me. He is a bit mexican bandito atm, but as you say thatll go once the colour goes on!

Thanks, I'll get in contact re payment when I've got my new comp and can actually load GW up. (hopefully tomorrow or thursday)

Nemesis Xero · Oct 01, 2008, 12:33 PM // 12:33

Those look very nice, and I just love that siege turtle in the background of Yakuza's pic

(Oh yes and I changed my initial post a bit, I put some better pictures in it because the previous ones were kinda small)

Tosha · Oct 01, 2008, 01:42 PM // 13:42

NIIICCE
It is my turn yet?

Saraphim · Oct 01, 2008, 05:45 PM // 17:45

Not yet

Got your pics, Nemesis. Thanks.

I'm going to change the way I'm working slightly, in as much as from now on I'll PM the initial sketch to the person concerned for approval before I move on to painting it, and not post it in the thread. If I don't hear from that person within a couple of days I'll move on to the next in the list and prep the first sketch for that. Reason for that being, if anyone is away for a while I can still move on, and if they've given up and moved on elsewhere I won't spend time on something that's not going to go anywhere.

I'l still keep the list updated, and any work that's in the sketch stage will be moved into active. Hope this is ok, I'm trying to work out a system that's fair to everyone and still gives me time to sleep.

Don't worry about me, I'm still very active and stalking this thread

I'm still interested in having my warrior drawn by you so I can turn him into an avatar, and perhaps a wallpaper if the original is large enough.

Hailfall · Oct 01, 2008, 07:36 PM // 19:36

I'm still interested too.. can't wait =)

Primusq · Oct 01, 2008, 09:28 PM // 21:28

Wide awake here. Looking cool so far.

Saraphim · Oct 01, 2008, 09:30 PM // 21:30

Cool

I think it'll be better this way, as it gives people a chance to tell me if they think anything's wrong before I go and slap it in the thread.

asb · Oct 02, 2008, 04:31 AM // 04:31

I'd like to be added to your commission queue list for a Colour Full Body, with background image, if possible.

Saraphim · Oct 05, 2008, 07:10 PM // 19:10

Hi asb, I've put a hold on adding anymore names for the moment as I was getting a bit scared about it taking too long to get to people. But I'll probably open it up again when I've cleared it down a bit.

Okay, colour WIP for Primusq. I had hoped to finish this today but I had a website to squirt out in one day yesterday so I didn't get to do any painting at all till this morning.

Obviously, still a lot to do.

distilledwill, I'm about to PM you with yours.

Primusq · Oct 05, 2008, 07:50 PM // 19:50

I really like the way this is developing. Very beautiful work with the face, but I should mention something dosnt looks right with the neck and right arm.

Saraphim · Oct 06, 2008, 10:10 PM // 22:10

Her right arm? Yeh, it needed more work definitely. Foreshortening is always a bitch, I'm about half way through now and it looks a lot better. Is the neck too short? I tend to reduce them a bit on the girls as GW toons seem to be cross-bred with giraffes...

Got a bit swamped over the weekend and today, I only just finished work a little while ago. I think you'll find the adjustments I've been making to her collarbone / armour and upper arms should get rid of it.

Ok, also. Edited original post to move distilledwill to 'done' and omens to 'active'.

Onwards and Sideways!

Saraphim · Oct 19, 2008, 11:11 PM // 23:11

Ok, I am still alive!

I've been communicating with people via PM but will be posting some images soon. It's a little after midnight here but if I can I'll do it before I go off.

Hailfall, I've moved you to active now. Will PM you with the linework as soon as it's done.

Things have been pretty mad recently, doing 2 or 3 pitches for clients at the same time and the pitch phase is the one I get hammered the most in.

Tender Wolf · Oct 20, 2008, 01:53 AM // 01:53

*faints at the gorgeousness of the pictures* Beautiful, simply beautiful. Is that a dead siege turtle in Yakuza's pic?

*brings it back to life and keeps it as a pet* Next to wolves, turtles are my fave animals.

lol Anyway, very outstanding work, I love seeing the WIP's. And after seeing that ranger with the tiger in elite druid armor, I'm looking forward to my own more than ever. *cheers*

Saraphim · Oct 20, 2008, 02:29 AM // 02:29

Yup, dead as they come

I can't believe I'm still awake. I was going to go to bed three hours ago but I got a bee in my bonnet and decided to try and finish my accounts tonight.. 3.30 am and still going

Husband went off in a huff hours ago.

Here's the images I promised.

omens' paragon, a WIP. Just the linework so far:

Primusq's ranger (finished):

Nemesis Zero's ranger (provisonally finished, did some tweaks tonight):

If I spelt anyone's name wrong, apologies. My eyes are turning to dust in my head.

Morag D · Oct 20, 2008, 08:05 AM // 08:05

holy mother of god

love your work!

Nemesis Xero · Oct 20, 2008, 01:02 PM // 13:02

I absolutely love the picture of my ranger, looks totally awesome

And Primusq's ranger & tiger look stunning as well

very very nice

powercozmic · Oct 20, 2008, 01:20 PM // 13:20

Love the female ranger sara. The blood looks very realistic too. I gotta learn how to draw bloodstains now

got any tips ?

Hailfall · Oct 20, 2008, 04:10 PM // 16:10

wow they look amazing Saraphim!

Can't wait for mine =)

Thanks, though props to Primusq for that for getting me to concentrate on that more

I just batted the pen at the tablet with various levels of force to get a varied blob, and then smeared it about. I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination. To tell the truth Painter is probably the easiest app to use for stuff like that as it has a spatter airbrush, but I've never been able to get on with it for some reason. Most of the ranger was done in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and finetuned in Photoshop, and the blood was shifted about with a combination of a soft eraser and the smudge tool.

Actually I can say that I guess, never underestimate the eraser tool, I often use that to chip away at stuff till I'm happy with it.

Hailfall, looking forward to doing your necro, B&W has a whole set of unique challenges.
