Curse

Hello all

I started playing Guild Wars last Christmas and have since become rather obsessed, because that's what I do: become obsessed with things. And I am also obsessed with drawing so I just wanna share the crap I've done with people who actually know what I'm talking about! xD

And being the proper and proud dork that I am, they all of course have personalities.

I guess first I'll start off with my first chara, Ulla, who is a warrior and is, in fact, a woman. She's just a tough old broad pushing 50, ok? x) There was some confusion on DA.. lmao. She has a wolf named Mr. Bitey.
at first I was gonna make her albino lol buuut now she's just grey headed like the actual IG person.
in ascalon armor
younger Ulla sewing up her lip. - I made up a backstory for her.. hee liike she got that injury during an attack on her and her husband's house by a raiding group of.. whatevers I haven't decided yet xD. They fought for a while but were eventually overpowered. Ulla was knocked out, but not before seeing a whole blown through her husband's chest by one of the magic weilding types. She chose not to heal that scar so she'd remember.. oohh *dramatize* :O lol. ..Ulla generally isn't very font of casters x). ...Ulla isnt' really fond of a lot of people. lmao

i love the sunspear armor design... except for the back. seriously wtf x)

Then we have Bitte, a 22 year old, 5'1" bossy little paragon. She's totally girly, as long as you don't take into account her love of ugly things. She dosen't think/realize they're ugly, of course.
leik omg teh sparkles
Uhm.. she was a minion master for a bit at first.. because I didn't really "get" the whole strategic build concept lol and I thought the little minions were cool. x)) I also didn't notice that the shambling horrors didn't have heads ok :|.
w/ Koss and Melonni..

with her pets, a mini warthog that hasn't been named yet, and a hyena named Pip.
got elite armor yeyy! 10 minute sketch yeyy x) two reds + orange = same color armor as hair yeyy.

Oh yeah, Ulla and Bitte sort of hate each other.
Melonni and Ulla plan to beat Bitte up :|.

Aaand I have my two newer characters whom I haven't drawn much:

Di, who is a sweet little mesmer. Yes, a sweet. Mesmer. xD She's nice, almost to a fault. She messes w/ bad guys to help her friends or.. well anyone who needs help. What a dork 9_9.
portrait pic

And Donny who thinks he's charming and kind of is, but is also kinna clueless at times. He's a relatively nice guy though. At least for someone who stabs people for a living.

And lastly here are some pics I've done for various stuff on the forums here
Shan
Sanra
Avalon's monk dude who's name I forget because I suck xD
the emik and zagan

---------------

Sooo.. about this commission business.. I was thinking about eventually offering to do those colored busts (like the "portrait pics" of my characters) for people for 45k? Would anyone be interested? :x

Anyway, hope yall enjoy these x).

xD at the character descriptions!

Love your artwork, you did a great job with the expressions of the characters and making the characters feel unique.

And I'm sure you'll get tons of people interesting in commissions. 45k for a picture from you would be a steal! I'd be interested myself if it weren't for the fact I'm totally broke

Foxeye · Jun 20, 2007, 05:02 AM // 05:02

...ok, that's it, I need to start saving up a stash of ingame money so that when folks like you appear, I can afford to commission you. By the time I have any you'll be piled 20-people deep. *grin*

You put so much character and personality into your characters. I'm just in love with Ulla...she's so tough and not-pretty and how I imagine a real woman might end up if she had to pick up the warrior's lifestyle.

Unlucky Slayer · Jun 20, 2007, 05:16 AM // 05:16

If you do decide to start commissions, please make the business end in the commissions central area.

And now that that business is out of the way... Very nice pictures. If I had that kind of cash to spare I would do it.

Keep up the good work.

Same here...sigh...better go farm my a** off now.

BTW nice pics. i like the depth of the personality and that work you did for Shan. It almost felt like an early 1900's ads lol

Perynne · Jun 20, 2007, 05:45 AM // 05:45

Any chance of an art-trade....? :3 I'm not made of money either since I don't farm much and I've been a bit slow at doing commissions recently due to surgery, but I'd love to do an art-trade with you if you'd be interested. Just a portrait-type picture would be great too.

I very, very much love your style. You give so much expression to your characters, and your colouring skills are just amazing! The background stories for your characters just made me inspired to draw more of the oddball characters that I play ingame too. Can't wait to see more of your artwork!

Morag D · Jun 20, 2007, 06:54 AM // 06:54

I'll get in line, *must-get-commission*. I'm such a fan of your stuff, and not only the GW drawings - you actually made me like the Malfoys

so, I suppose this thread will be moved to the commission area, but please remember me when you do, ok? pretty pleeeez

it's so good to see there are some (very few) artists who like to draw paragons. here you go:

Eryn Shadowbane

She's a tough girl, hates to run from a fight and is known to be bitchy to any party member who suggests it. And you don't want to annoy her, because she really can kick ass. But then, she's also my most spoiled and pampered character, so the other girls on my account don't like her too much and she's often lonely.

hlc617 · Jun 20, 2007, 07:29 AM // 07:29

Ahhh thanks guys! xD Glad you like em

!!!

Morag and Slayer- kk I'll be sure to make an official thread in the commish forum for when I start takin names.. YAY I'm excited xD! I'm gonna wait to officially open until I get done with some sketch commissions I'm doing for RL monies so I won't be tempted lol.

Mistical miss · Jun 20, 2007, 07:30 AM // 07:30

those are awesome

Do you draw charicatures? (dunno the real english word, its karikatuur in dutch) It means drawing people exaggerated. (like, when one has a slightly large nose, in the drawing the nose is huuge, same for fat chins, heavy mascara etc...)

Because I think you'd do great at it ^^. Joke-drawings of famous people, like george bush, paris hilton, tony blair, famous soccer players and other people who often hit the news.

I hope you accept some art trades from the people above ^^ it would mean more drawings to watch for me ^^ woohoo

Rainbird · Jun 20, 2007, 03:34 PM // 15:34

Love the portraits.... A shame that I have been going more and more outside of GW lately (which sets me to about 10k ingame gold

)

I Might Avenge U · Jun 20, 2007, 03:51 PM // 15:51

Cool, I like a lot of the portrait pics

You have good humor also

Knightsaber Sith · Jun 20, 2007, 07:28 PM // 19:28

I'll take a portrait when you get around to it.

Yuca Dolitae · Jun 21, 2007, 11:16 AM // 11:16

Wow - your pics made me smile so much, they've got so much character in them, I think its great!

And that one of Koss made me laugh so hard - excellent stuff!

Sjeng · Nov 28, 2007, 11:51 AM // 11:51

Man, that's simply mind-blowing.
Do you draw professionally? I looks like you do. If not: you should.

this one http://www.ligermagic.com/bittenew.jpg reminds me of comic strips (a bit like Asterix). Love it! Love the humor in them all ^^

You also have a little Disney-like feel in your scetches, like the one with Koss and Melonni. Kinda like a storyboard for a cartoon movie. Stunning!

Soku · Nov 29, 2007, 10:43 PM // 22:43

Love your style. I'll never look at Koss the same way.

Faowri · Nov 30, 2007, 12:02 AM // 00:02

Very very awesome <3 I love your style and the characters have so much personality.

Narcissia · Dec 03, 2007, 11:32 AM // 11:32

im jk

im in love with your art, Bitte

I was going to say exactly the sam thing!

They look like Disney storyboards.

Absolutely superb work, I might be interested in a commission sometime

legendary_Ace · Dec 03, 2007, 07:54 PM // 19:54

I would LOVE a portrait, something small. For like an avatar.

If you are going to do commissions PUT ME IN LINE!

Foxeye · Dec 03, 2007, 09:51 PM // 21:51

She actually did start a commission thread many months back:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10174753

She seems to just pick the characters that interest her, not the person next in line, so if she is still doing commissions, I suppose it never hurts to put your name in line.

THese are the ones she's done so far:
