Alrighty, before I color it, I wanted to get your take on the inks:
If you want to see it bigger I can upload it on my DA account and link that here; but for now I'm just using photobucket.
My thoughts on this:
Pretty decent overall, but the arms/hands need length/size matching, more mass and the sword could stand to sit on her shoulder, not free-float. :smallsmile:
I like it! Dunno what the star-things are, but that's about it.
Also, would you be able to add some sort of flower to the cloth, or perhaps add a talberd with one? Either a rose or a dawnflower, symbols of two of her gods.
Glad you like it Eldest <^_^> those stars are elbow guards (and joints between the plates at the elbows) - if you could see her knees, there'd be one on each knee as well. I can most definitely add flowers!
@Domochevsky - Very very useful, thank you. I'm going to rework some of the underlying sketch and re-ink things I think. My anatomy drives me crazy* - so it helps a great deal having it laid out where things aren't coming out right and how to fix them. Big big thank you!

I'm going to be gone Friday, Saturday and Sunday btw, so sadly this piece probably won't get done till early next week <;_;> (really wish I had a laptop to draw on while out and about, but I don't so >.< Will probably do some traditonal media sketches while I"m out though to keep practicing.)
*Believe it or not I used a reference for this. <x.x>
Alrighty, I reworked the underlying sketch and then re-inked it, and added the requested flowers <^.^> Let me know what you think - if you like then I'll color it!
Very nice. :smallbiggrin: Though it looks like the... Banner-thing... is being blown forward but her hair isn't? Not sure if that's just an artifact of the fact it's not colored yet, much less shaded, or my eyes being weird, though.
Also, if you're still taking requests, I think I might have one, or even two if you're feeling generous? :smallsmile:
Hehe, yes, I still owe Asteron a piece after I finish Eldest's <^.^> But if you don't mind waiting I'm more than happy to do one for you too C'nor! I'm a bit slow I'm afraid <~_~> so I can't promise speed, but I'll definitely do my best!
Not at all <^.^> Though I'm not experienced in doing multiple people in one piece... but that's all the more reason to tackle it! <^_^>/
Thank you very much, then!
Spoilered for being really, really, long:
SpoilerPerson #1 is Nycca, a rather small bat-fey; she's mostly humanoid, with longish silvery hair, and a large (comparatively, at least) pair of bat wings, who usually wears a pair of tinted goggles due to her eyes being extremely light-sensitive.
Person #2 is Talina, a large (about 6'0") human mage; she's got brown hair, cut short, and often somewhat messy, dark purple eyes, and generally carries a battered leather messenger bag.
Both are fairly pale, and would probably be wearing dark clothing; jeans and a t-shirt for Nycca, with either a black and purple mage's robe or something similar to Nycca's clothes for Talina.
Also, for expressions and such, the two are girlfriends, and quite close at that.
If possible, I'd prefer Nycca to be in Talina's lap on a couch; if it helps with the scenery, they're living in an abandoned motel that they've cleaned up and gotten water and such going in again, and their furniture is likely scavenged.
If you feel like it, I'd like to see Huoshan when you finish these lot. :smallsmile:
I'm certainly willing to give that a shot as well <^.^>/
At that I'm going to have to officially close requests <@-@> juuuuuust in case. I art quite slowly, and since I prefer to always color my pieces, this is going to be a fair bit of work. Worthwhile work that I'll greatly enjoy mind you <^_^>m But I don't want to get overloaded either.
Nah, no worries C'nor <^-^> I can do it! I've almost got the flats for Eldest's piece done too, soon I'll be moving on to shades, yay~ <^-^>
A heads up, I may-or-may-not be offline for the rest of the weekend and change. It's all up in the air. So yeah. No rush on the art or anything, take the time, but if it gets posted and I don't comment for a day or three don't freak out?
I appreciate the heads up <^.^>; I get antsy whenever I post work <~_~>; without that warning I admit, I would probably be sad >_>; so uhm, thank you!
With luck I'll have it done by tomorrow night. <^.^>/
Just an update - it's still not done; but I can't finish it today like I'd hoped. Maybe tomorrow. That said I'm really liking how it's turning out so I wanted to share the WIP with you all <^-^> It's taking longer because I've discovered a better way of using the airbrush. I'm still a long way from where I want to be but, well, I think the improvement is visible!
Ooo, looks nice. I can't wait to see how you color the hair, it was my favorite part of doing portraits with Illustrator because I got to try to model the nuances of color with a very challanging toolset and I could approach it from solid blocks or blending/mesh and...
*realizes he is rambling, stops*
But yes, looks nice.
Glad you like it so far <^,^> Jumping back into it now~
Sorry this took so blasted long to finish, I've been out with a headache the last several days and finally just gritted my teeth and finished today regardless.
Hope you like it!
If you want a larger version, the one I'm going to upload to DA will be larger. < . .>b
*blinks*
I coulda swore I had responded.
Anyway, I do like it. Seems like sort of the pose she'd get when she was tired or distracted or otherwise letting the mask drop a bit. I'll bug you for the second portrait later, when I figure out what she looks like in succubus form. Thanks!
I'm glad you like it <^_^>
Just a quickie sketch today.
Was trying to draw a magical girl for an upcoming campaign, but she's 'off model' of what I had in my head, so I'll have to try again. I liked how the sketch was coming though so I wanted to post it anyway.
@Asteron - I'm still waiting for what specifically you want for your request so I can get started on it <^-^> No rush or anything, but if you need more time to think I could maybe take care of C'nor's first? I don't want to keep folks waiting any longer than I have to of course.
I don't really have a specific idea, maybe something with kittens?:smalltongue:
I'm in no hurry.
Well, I had an idea <o.o> So I'm going to put the inks up and you let me know if you like and want me to color it or want something else.
Decided to draw a catboy; I haven't done male characters very often, but I felt like this was a good time to give it a shot.
<o.o> Just the first thing that came to mind.
