    Ack if thats the case it really needs to change! I was going to transfer four characters to Union and I was actually looking forward to using the discount.

    Made some time this afternoon, needed a break from some coding work that was making my eyes burn.

    Still tweaking the skin... not sold entirely on the texture yet so I might swap it around some and try other stuff. I cheated a bit on the eyes and used a previous photo manip I'd done of a photograph I took.

    As I looked ad Tiwali's version of GQ, I noticed the bone headband (or what ever it is doesn't actually go into her hair. So I think the grey area should become hair instead
    Also worked on the lips.

    Here's a little gif animation of what we've managed to do sofar


    (obviously the colours are a bit off..but that's what you get with gifs )

    Hope you like it!

    Very nice! I'll take a look at recoloring that hair section and combine your work with what I have so far. I didn't get much time unfortunately last night but hopefully tonight I can knock out a bit more.

    Some of the pencils I've posted had detailed hairpathing drawn or suggested already
    so I just drew in the outlining shapes for this one and I'll leave it to the collaborators how they want to approach it.

    Looks like you are headed in the right direction.
    Thanks, hoping I get some time tonight to unwind and work on it a bit more. as far as the hair goes I was more concerned I may have colored part of the crown piece as hair.

    I decided to do this one because it looked like it would lend itself to some good practice doing shadows and highlights. Which I'm still struggling with.

    Because he probably ships fast and charges low? Most people probably don't even realize that he's stealing, though its fairly obvious he is.

    Had some free time tonight so I figured I would give coloring the goblin queen piece by CR a try. Still working on this but its bed time so figured I'd share where I am so far.

    I feel like I messed up some of the hair bits so CR lemmie know if I did >_< Also decided to give Bobby's hair tutorial a try, not bad, definitely need to work on it more though I was a bit haphazard with it.

    Yes sorry poor wording on my part. But I think you know what I mean, the fang bearing "Rawr" kinda look, like this (gory picture).
  17. ransim
    I love the pose, but I feel like she needs fangs to go with the claws and the horns. Its very "Rawr".

    Anyone who wants guaranteed art of my normal style is going to have to commission me!
    I will still be doing the occasional doodle for those who inspire me.
    Everyone else will be...

    CHIBIFIED!
    I put in for a full commission, but the chibis are super cute it makes me want one of those too! >_<

    I still <3 those pictures because they detail a fun story arc we did in game years ago. There are some pictures on Ava's VV let me know if you want to draw her and need more refs I haven't really used her story wise in ages (she's retired).

    Otherwise I know I have an actual reference up for Azure Tracer and tons of pictures up for Cherry 9.

    I'm not one to ever ever say no to art. >_<

    So I think I figured this out, looks like you have to select the lines you want:

    Edit > select/deselect

    then work through selecting the lines you want to transform, then ctrl + t.

    I poke in on your blog a bit, was always a lurker on your DA page, at least ever since I got the piece done for Ava Adore ages and ages ago. Well one full piece and some cool sketches.

    You're stuff is looking great though its amazing how much its changed/developed since then.
  23. ransim
    Well just ancedotal but I figured I would try running a trial or two with my fire/kin troller.

    Mind you this troller was not even alpha slotted so I had that working against me.

    First run - Rare table
    Second run - common table (spent a lot of time dead because we went for Keep Em Separated with the towers up)

    Compared to my SS/Nrg Brute who has gotten commons and uncommons.

    And yes I was assisting with leading this time as I was doing on my brute.

    I'd love it if you could! I'm still learning a lot of the tools though I've got most of the editing hot keys down. Having fun poking around at what this can do.
  25. ransim
    I can only hope this isn't true and I just have absolutely horrible luck. Because if it is and the reason I've only ever seen the common and uncommon table on my SS/Nrg brute is because I tend to be the league leader and don't have a lot of AoE powers I will be miffed.

    I've actually all but given up on T4, I've never seen a rare or a very rare table and the crafting cost is prohibitively expensive or requires a lot of effort on empyrean merits.

    Now I want to try burning through these on my fire/kin/earth troller or my earth/fire/fire dom and see if my drop rates/luck is different.
