@Lili: the scene looks nice. I think I saw one or two of your comics on DA, and they were pretty funny. Looking forward to how this one will come out.

lol no problem tommy

Hello, I'm new to Nolani, though I've often browsed and admired the creative works in the screenshot and fanart subforums.
I am a beginner at digital art, having only just aquired my graphics tablet last month.

The Canthan theme of this contest really inspired me – Factions was always a special expansion for me (released shortly after I started playing), and I have fond memories of being burnt alive in the open beta weekend.

The prizes are also enticing!

So here is my entry:


[large]

Artist Name: Silverfire
Artworks Name: Sleeping Sea

Created in Photoshop CS3 with Intuos4 Wacom tablet.

As this is also a workshop and people appear to be posting their works in progress, here are a few earlier stages:

WIP [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Wow you only learned that in a month?
It really has a nice feeling in the painting.
I also like the name you gave it.

anyways, i might change my idea now o: since this isnt what i originally wanted to dooo @_____@

i really think you should keep goin with that one marsh! its cute

Woah, very nice Silverfire. First digital piece, and that pretty, you've done quite some traditional stuff before it?
And please frostkisses, don't motivate her to go on with that. I heard her other idea, and whatever the above scene will become, her other idea is way cooler D:

Finaly served my ban, so any PM's gotten about the Canthan Workshop to the people I've send, have not been received, so please send them again :3

Will start editing first post soon with new content and a list of entry's so far

ooo, very nice entry silverfire welcome to nolani btw ;-)

lol sorry tommy, but i dont know what the other idea is. but this one is cute..she should finish it anyway even if she goes with the other idea

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome

Tommy, I've previously experimented with watercolour paints a bit, but nothing serious. Digital is a refreshing change (especially as you can paint quite opaque compared to the translucence of watercolours).

they are quite strict over there in ventari to keep the trading forums from going into uber chaos. people get banned daily for even little mistakes ;-) keeps it clean though.

official proof that I am working on something
[not to be confused with official guarantee that it will be finished in time ,) ]

@Silverfire: Welcome to the boards. The work looks nice, I like the colors.

@Morag: Cool work as usual, yo'. Wondering what you'll be doing for your final piece.

Yeah I openend a WTB thread and later I wanted to close it doing so with a new post not aware that that post is within 24 hours of my last. So humm.. Tight and clean.

Really nice Morag. Love those dragons, and the flowers on that dress. Can't wait to see it finished. FINISH D: In time!

Godd stuff guys

Very elegant Morag, can't wait to see more

Lovely piece Silverfire, nice colours and interesting pose.
