Your ranger is the one where all you see is the arm trying to hang on to the rock at the bottom. Buffalo Wing is coming around the back for a sneak attack.

Messy · May 10, 2007, 11:18 PM // 23:18

Orphan Buffalo

age: 45

Biography:

It's still getting worse after everything I've tried.
What if I found a way to wash it all aside.
What if she touches with those fingertips,
As the words spill out like fire from her lips?

And if she says come inside I'll come inside for her.
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her.
I am justified. I am purified. I am sanctified. Inside you

Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel.
As she walks me through the nicest parts of hell.
I still dream of lips I never should have kissed.
Well she knows exactly what I can't resist

And if she says come inside I'll come inside for her.
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her.
I am justified. I am purified. I am sanctified. Inside you

I'm still caught up in another of her spells.
Well she's turning me into someone else.
Everyday I hope and pray this will end.
But when I can I do it all again

And if she says come inside I'll come inside for her.
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her.
I am justified. I am purified. I am sanctified. Inside you

As surely as the blade's course is run.
Maybe my kingdom's finally come.

Dang... That's one nice drawing you've made there Babaroga

I get more and more obessed with having you draw my warrior when you open up your waiting list again

Mistical miss · May 13, 2007, 09:03 AM // 09:03

Guess u keep with the soft colours eh? I think this one could use some deeper shades aswell ^^ but well, thats mostly just taste I recon.

Babaroga · May 13, 2007, 11:34 AM // 11:34

@mistical miss
Well, the thing is, I rarely (almost never) color things digitaly when I do my work. I am more of traditional guy. Oils, acrylics, and watercolors are my preferable type of medium. Oils especialy. However, medium for them, and themselves are quite expensive to be "wasted" on this type of things. So, yeah, when I DO paint digitaly I try to avoid that realism (pinky skin, dark deep shadows, lightsources that break of the surface etc.), becouse, this is kind of illustrations from a game, and I want to keep that, game feel about it.
And you said it right, it's basicly about taste, who likes what...

ravensong · May 13, 2007, 11:48 AM // 11:48

Nice mesmer there! But that group picture blew me away...

Mistical miss · May 13, 2007, 12:03 PM // 12:03

I do like how u used purple to highlight the picture however ^^. I'm all of the traditional guy :P (don't have a drawing tablet, that limits the possibilities) Never use oils though, so expensive and I like working with acrylics and watercolours better, even coloured pencils ^^. I love deep shades though .. (my guildwars graphics gamma is toned down deeply).

Babaroga · May 13, 2007, 12:29 PM // 12:29

@ ravensong and rainbird
Thanx guys

@mistical miss
hehe... well, 80% of my work I do traditionaly. Im to slow and sloppy with tablet and Painter-Photoshop. Yet they are good to make fast corrections and adjustments to an image.
So the bottom line is, use both, digital and traditional medium, and you'll have nice results.
Oh, and you should definetly try oils. Theres nothing like painting with them, and when water from your brush and oil mix and create some uncontrolable shapes, and color variations and textures...Maaaan....Sweeeet

Babaroga · May 13, 2007, 01:11 PM // 13:11

One more thing. The next Joker I was going to do supposed to be a Warrior card. And, you might noticed that I started to do them in color, with background color matching the color for each proffession, Necro green, Mesmer purple... However, since the warrior color is Yellow, the next image will be b&w, becouse guys who's warrior is, HATES yellow. Well who can blame him. Even if I put orangy yellow as a background its still No for an answer. So, the next joker will be B&W, thou I'm gonna putt some more magic in it, so I can shade it and make B-W-G contrast pop up!

Cheers!

ravensong · May 13, 2007, 02:39 PM // 14:39

Woot,im looking forward to seeing another card!

Ever considered making a card game with those GW characters? ^^
Hmm it would be kinda cool...imagine:
"Im tapping my Heart Reaver,he deals 80dmg to your John Doe, and you have to discard 2 cards from your hand! Woo!"

PS: My dervish loves white/brown! ...Just kidding!

Babaroga · May 13, 2007, 04:23 PM // 16:23

@Revensong

haha dude... If Im gonna to do that, I'll be posting my next picture from a cold prison cell, being someon's bejatch! Ever heard of copyrighted material?! :P

ravensong · May 13, 2007, 04:54 PM // 16:54

I know I know...I was just being random, tough I didn`t mean you would sell it or something

Mistical miss · May 13, 2007, 05:20 PM // 17:20

Well you could come up with trading card game ideas :P and then sell em to wizards of the coast :P

Star Naiad · May 13, 2007, 05:36 PM // 17:36
