)

Very nice work, cant wait to see the finished product of the new one you're doing.

Morag D · Jun 23, 2007, 06:10 PM // 18:10

here's the finished version - yet another coloring technique tried out

I think it turned out quite nice

Mistical miss · Jun 24, 2007, 01:46 PM // 13:46

Oh you have no idea...

Awesome sketch and I love the finished version too!

By the way... how long does it take you to prep your sketches with transparency etc for the forums, if you don't mind my asking? I just think it's a cool effect.

Morag D · Jun 25, 2007, 11:51 AM // 11:51

well, about 2 seconds or so

it's a trick I actually kinda 'borrowed' from Nian (

sorry, great idea though

)

the sketch was done in photoshop on one layer, and then I just put another layer beneath it which has exactly the same color than the forum background - so actually it's just a special background color instead of white or yellow - no transparency at all

ok, now Nian's gonna kill me for babbling her secret (I only found out by browsing her pictures on other forums

)

hahaha, I should have noticed that when I saw it was a jpeg, whoops

Morag D · Jun 28, 2007, 10:02 AM // 10:02

a really rough sketch of Vilaptca's minion master

Vilaptca · Jun 28, 2007, 11:08 AM // 11:08

And would you be able to shade this armor ok? I have pics of my other set (same set) which is dyed white so you can see the detail better for when you are drawing it out.

BTW I know of your commission thread I just wanted to ask you about it here before I get in line for a commission.

Bowman Artemis · Jun 28, 2007, 12:28 PM // 12:28

Wow, your art style has changed since I got mine done, Morag. I'm gonna have to get in line again - once I get money.

Morag D · Jun 29, 2007, 02:02 PM // 14:02

hi everyone, here's the lineart without shading for vilaptca!

I'm sorry I dispensed with the two additional minions in the background, but they are horribly detail-heavy. If you'd really really like to have them, I'm afraid I'd have to charge a little extra, because they take up as much time as the character itself

@jrk247:
as long as I don't close the thread (and I don't think I will in the near future

), you can sign up there when there's a free spot. a B&W shaded drawing is (out of nature of materials used) more black / grey than the one I posted. the sepia effect was added later, it's something I like personally. but you can have what you want, as you pay for it

jrk247 · Jun 29, 2007, 11:42 PM // 23:42

Ok thanks for the info, and keep up the good work.

Morag D · Jul 03, 2007, 07:12 PM // 19:12

and finally (yes, I know I took long) the final version of Vilaptca's minion master boy

enjoy

Perynne · Jul 03, 2007, 07:41 PM // 19:41

Ooh, very lovely shading. I really like the contrast between black and white. His pose is very strong and you've done a wonderful job on the detail in his armor. Also, the minion is very cute.

I like peeking into your gallery every now and then, always wonderful to see something new from you.

Morag D · Jul 03, 2007, 09:35 PM // 21:35

thank you so much

Morag D · Jul 04, 2007, 04:08 PM // 16:08

some silly art for in-between

doodled some o' my characters at work:

Morag Deathspell, my ele and oldest character on my account. she likes explosions. burn something and call it a day.

Kara Skhan, my necromancer. she pretty isn't concerned with anything at all - as long as it lives. likes working together with Morag because of all the nice barbecue

Lil Bit Dangerous - well, she's all about looking daggers at people. literally.

Lizzy Sees U Thru, my monk. went into retirement after anet disabled Shiro'ken farming. and pretty much all kinds of farming. presently gathering a lot of dust

have fun

Edit by Unlucky Slayer: I know the picture size is kinda lax in Nolani, but that one was a bit excessive.

- yes, thank you, I realized it was way too big but didn't have time to change it anymore

StarrTheInsane · Jul 05, 2007, 10:51 PM // 22:51

I hope you can open the list again in August. You do some really vivid artwork. Maybe when college starts back again for me, I'll take a break from commissions for a while and hope you have room on your list for me.

Keep up the awesome art and don't work too hard!
