My DA now has an alt costume ref sheet for Savannah, and a ref sheet for my Fire/Fire Tanker.
I need to find a better way to make these. They take too long... -_-

You could always commission someone to do a modelsheet. But really, I think you have too many screenshots there on one reference sheet. You shouldn't need more than four shots of a character; headshot, front, back, and 3 quarter-turn. Hi-rez shots cropped to 150-300 dpi with dimensions of 4x6 (photo ratios) would be perfect, all preferably without an aura. The aura and lighting can cause misleading colors. Auras and such are better off left to the artist to interpret.

Thanks for the tips! Next time I start working on them, I'll start by going back and modifing those three I have up now.
Should I get in-game shots, or should I take the shots from the costume editor?

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Ideally, you want someone else to take the shots for you. If you want, we can set up a time to meet in-game and I'll take the shots for you and clean them up for future use.
you can always have shots with and without auras as well. Not a bad idea if it's integral to the costume, but you still want to provide shots of just the costume itself if the aura covers the costume quite a bit.

I got in the mood to do some headshots, since its something that I haven't really done before. Playing around with some different ways of drawing... I also haven't decided on how I want to finish them up, but right now Larissa and Fire Brandi have completed sketches and Aggelakis is near sketched.
I'll put up some finished pieces soon! Either digital or copic grayscale... might have to flip a coin.
Oh can't wait to see these!
Show us your stuff, Wassy! We wants to seeeeee more! w00t!!

WOW! Looks like you are going to have a great last play day! Have room for a stowaway?

Very pretty Wassy! I love it! *glomp* I like the 3/4 view, it gives it more depth. Just gorgeous
Thanks! Glad you like it.
Fire Brandi will come out sometime today. Think I'll do that one with a little digital inking, though.
Here's Fire Brandi's bust. She was fun to work up, and I hope I captured some of that fiery temperment.
I also sent these lines to Electaswanist (his identity crisis has confused me) to practice his coloring on.
Looks hawt!

Heck no. As soon as a deadline is involved, I can promise that there will not be so much speed =P
