Hmm...Well this is my first time seeing this thread, so...

First of all, Nice work - I, like a few others (I guess b/c im female) am not into each pictures style.

In my opinion there is a difference between sexy and well...what you did with the picture of the two mesmers

I think some of your pictures are the perfect balance of sexy, but not over the top. Like the nightfall ele - She looks very sexy, but not trashy. Plus the background on that is just awesome!

I also like the ritualist that is by herself. Its a nice pose and looks great on the background.

Here's a more complete version of Power Cozmic, my dervish,

The screenie I based this on,

She's wearing the 10k Ancient hood, Vabbian top, 15k elite sunspear gloves, shoes and leggings.

And wielding the icy soulbreaker of enchanting (preorder scythe).

Very nice and sexy work.

Liking your clean style. Some stronger shadowing might be good to bring out their contours more, but it's quite good like this too.

Could you just leave the larger images out of your post, and either only put up thumbnails of them that people can click to see the bigger version, or resize them to something a bit more forum friendlier (800 px max either way, tops; now you have them up to over 1000 pixels, which is a definite no-no for internet unless you're posting a wallpaper)? I know you might lose some very small detail in the resizing process, but viewers usually don't mind since it's nicer to see the whole girl instead of scrolling down and seeing just her legs or her midriff at a time.

And I have to admit I balked at loading the first page, even though I'm not on dialup (ended up skipping here instead, in search of more viewer friendly image sizes). Large images like that will usually scare off half the possible viewers, thereby reducing the comments you get.

I wouldn't be so quick to call her artwork inappropriate in the way of the two characters holding each other- think to yourself real quick, is it because they are both girls instead of the more common guy and girl image? Would you feel so offended if it was a male and female? That uncomfortable feeling could be that of a biased opinion in the way of homophobia.

And honestly, I'm actually even surprised that a forum admin felt it necessary to post on keeping the content "appropriate." I'm sorry, did he miss what the female characters look like in the last 3 campaigns?

A little sex appeal never hurt anyone, and if it did, you should immediately close your eyes right now and keep them so until you die, because sex everywhere, my friends. And it's only getting more frequent. Ads, mags, posters, games (including GW), books, movies, LIFE!

I wish I had the time to draw full-time and do commissions and stuff. But the problem is I have a full time job which has nothing to do with art whatsoever. I just draw and play GW in my spare time. Sorry but I've had to turn down a lot of offers

But yeah I'm glad you guys like what I've done so far

I'm thinking of doing a picture tutorial for drawing with paintshop pro soon. That way I hope I balance out my Karma for not doing commissions

Nice.... But why not Photoshop?

Probably because not everyone is loaded with cash, or able/wants to use bittorrent >_>

Well I do have photoshop, but i've just become used to paintshop pro as I had it earlier

greyf0x_f0x · Dec 16, 2006, 05:23 AM // 05:23

In that case, you've got no excuse, learn to use photoshop instead! >_>

Paintshop is to Photoshop, what Paint is to Paintshop

Yours sincerely, photoshop fanboi.

Seriously though, the learning curve between the two programs isnt too much, and once you get the hang of all the bells and whistles in photoshop, it's hard to ever go back. I know I never want to

Photoshop is soooo easy to use,,, If you can work with paintshop you'll have no problem with photoshop

Tark Alkerk · Dec 16, 2006, 05:13 PM // 17:13

very pretty.

Hey thx a ton

having a look right now

powercozmic · Jan 18, 2007, 06:57 AM // 06:57

Hey all, got photoshop 2 days back ! Thought I'd play around a bit and decided to make a drawing of my mesmer.

This is the screenie I based it on :

Hold on, does this armor combo actually exist ??! Or did I get that screenie when she was changing ?

It does exist :
Obsidian attire & Gloves
15k Primeval hose
1k Ishtan Shoes

Looks cooler with the jester cap on

Here's my version,

I also made a tutorial describing the steps of drawing my mesmer in photoshop. Ever seen anyone make a photoshop tutorial after just 2starting out ? Well here it is

:

Also did some outlines for a paragon and assassin last night,

I'll get them done when I have time.

powercozmic · Jan 23, 2007, 02:53 PM // 14:53

2 more,

Here's my assa slicing through... erm .... tomato juice !

And my paragon who's very mad atm,

Tark Alkerk · Jan 25, 2007, 12:01 AM // 00:01

the assassin is very nice, vabbian being showed off correctly

, i like the white background as well, it goes very nicely with the colour of the armour.

also i like the armour combinations that you use on some pics, its more original than just matching sets.

powercozmic · Jan 27, 2007, 07:34 AM // 07:34

thx

updated some of the previous posts.

The assassin looks great. You have improved, certainly.
