Nian's sketchbook

New thread, new tricks. This time more in the form of a personal GW(and non) related sketchbook for myself. When I started drawing here I was really out of practise but now I think I'm getting more and more tuned in because of all the commissions and contests and I could really use the practise.

COMMISSION
Currently not taking commissions/having a rest/blocked

Mini contest at a later date
Thanks for all the comments everyone. I'm now confirmed to start a mini screenshot contest at a later date. I will bump the thread up when it's time but probably not for a few weeks now(just guessing) as I still have some commitments before that. Contest will be about taking an inspiring screenshot of your character that will be judged and winners will receive a drawing of said character as a prize. I have yet to decide how many prizes there are and who will be the judges to help me. Currently I have Noanoa as my first judge as she has promised to help. Judges cannot participate ofcourse. More info will come when I get this organized better.

A contest would be cool. Nice to have a contest for the fans instead of one for the artists.

Some really good art ya got there. ^^ Cant wait to see more!

Gorgeous pictures!

I would definitely participate in the contest, though I'm guessing there'd be so many people entering it'd be crazy-fierce competition.

I think I'll post Lore's mesmer here instead so as to not clog up the first post with pictures.

Here's Lore's mesmerizing mesmer again~


Pencil sketch

Thanks for the comments Slayer and Foxeye.

I was thinking more of a smaller contest with just a few days(five?) to do the 'assingment' so nothing that big. It would almost be like a freebie lottery without being a lottery. I would have to get a few other people here from the forums to help do the judging though. If it seems people are interested. x)

Woa Nian, I'm definitely one of your big fan.
Why not a contest. You said just one screenshot has to be presented to participate ?

Sweet

I'll try to enter that contest

Dear god, your art is... orgasmical!!!

It is fabulous, for now id indeed suggest taking a break and coming back freshened up.

And i like the idea of a screenshot contest!!!

A contest sounds cool. Great stuff you have there.

I PMed ZenRgy on another forum to let him know his commission was complete. I'd be down with a contest - a chance to have more Nian art is far too awesome to pass up. <3

Wow. Just wow. I'm loving your style, Nian.

What's that first one you have up there, watercolor? Something a bit freaky going on with that arm, but otherwise nice job. The detail in the mesmer's costum is great especially the fabric of her dress. Your use of colors there is pro. That really all color pencil? You definitely make me want to break out the Prisma Colors again, that's for sure.

Maybe we could do an artists trade on the side, eh? I'd love to have some of your work.

*is still amazed over the 3 character commi*

Nian, Zenrgy is currently banned from GWG, his ban should be over in the next few days though...He's in my alliance so I'll pass him the message to talk to you

EDIT: Oh, I see Nkah got to it first

Thanks for all the comments everyone. Really made my day.

I haven't thought the contest up too far yet. I'll update the first page when it's up. Yes I was thinking of one screenshot/per participant.

Unlike you I'm a total loser with natural mediums. There was a time when I was really excited about color markers and I still have tons of copic ciao etc. markers in a dusty corner somewhere but I can't use them to save my life. XD
I mean...where's the undo button in markers lol ? *noob*

I would love to do an art trade with you sometime! I need to have mooore delicious art myself hehe. I'll get back to harrassing you when I have finished the pending commissions and stuff I have!

I do have a suggestion. Don't go to GWO. They sux. >.>

Wow O.o

I'll definitely enter the contest when its ready ^_^

awesome job on the drawings, and again, amazing job on my mesmer, thank you

In your upcoming contest, would it be allowed to secretly kidnap every participant so that they wouldn't be available to get the prize and the prize would go to me.. erm, I mean, to the next in line?
