Fan Art by Nith47

some of my guild wars fan art. All of these were originally posted over at GWR.

Arc Light (R/*)


Broken Leaves (A/*)


Halloween '06 (E/* + Smeedly the Troll)


Koss


Lt. Murunda


Lonely Magna (N/Me)


Vin Fang (Me/*)


All of 'em were sketched to some degree then painted in photoshop with a tablet. Anyways, let me know whatcha think.

i've seen your art on DA doing Guild wars as my search.. great job on the mesmer makes them look deadly and.. intimidating

Oooh, very nice. I like the strong, painted look of the colours. You've also done a very good job of drawing the armors.

Very nice! Proportions arent right but i guess thats your style.
I especially like the Koss one! : )

I love the Koss one as well. Lots of emotion there.

you take commisions?

Wooooooooooooooogling it~

I take it the mesmer's using blackout?

They're all very good. Strong poses. Koss, Lonely Magna and Vin Fang are just fabulous! Oh my, Koss... *runs away and hides*

I would pay that no problem, I love your art. All i need now is to get my 15k armour and I'll deffinantly ask you. I'll even pay 100k if you would put me on a reserve list if you start taking commisions.

mmmh so if you take commisions i would like to get one full color draw of my monk...

this is the screenshot of her:


Images 1 and 2, just for reference and detail of armor and weapons.

If its posible, i want a draw in a similar position of image 3, but with the left hand extended like the image 4.

And actualy the sword looks like a normal sword in image 3 (without waves), if you could draw it like Image 2.

Ill whisper you to get info.


PD: whats the resolution of the final draw?

I love your style. Its sort of cartoony, and sort of more darker, realistic, I can't really explain it, but I think it's really good.

You got an award/honourable mention for the Hallowe'en one in the GW.com contest didn't you?

I also really like the backgrounds on the Necromancer and especially the Koss ones, it adds so much to the image.

Out of Curiosity, how long have you been doing digital paintings, and do you have any tips for a newcomer?

As for tips, here's a few tricks i use;

There's two buttons on your tablet pen, under your tablet properties, reset them to keys you use frequently.
ex. I changed mine to the [ and ], which are the default keys in photoshop that make your brush bigger or smaller. A buddy of mine set his to Alt, allowing him to quickly switch over to the eye dropper when he's using the brush tool.

Under the Brushes tab in photoshop, click on Other Dynamics and change the opacity and flow jitter to Pen Pressure. I find doing this makes playing in photoshop a bit more like real painting.

When i first got into photoshop i found these tutorial's very helpful: Steel Dolphin

The best advice i can offer though is to constantly find other digital art you like and try to do it yourself, mimic their style or color scheme, figure out how you can duplicate whatever it is you find cool in their work - its a great way to evolve as an artist and pickup new tricks

www.conceptart.org is a great place for inspiration

Eh, its all fun though, i'm still learning =D

Quote: Under the Brushes tab in photoshop, click on Other Dynamics and change the opacity and flow jitter to Pen Pressure Just wanted to say, that I've been using a tablet and pen to paint with for a few years now, and I'd never thought to set the flow jitter to pen pressure in photoshop. I just tried it, and it reduces the pen lag by a ton, and gives a much greater "smooth" feel to it. Brilliant tip!

I really love your style! I would like to give you some comissions, just a sketch of my monk

Fantastic! Great light and colour along with sort of, surreal proportioning. I would ask for a comission, but im very, very poor.
