You've never drawn Steel Guard really. He's appeared in the ST poster but that was a screeny

To RC, or anyone else who I've promised to draw their chars, please send me PM with links to screenies of your characters. Then I have quick reference if the mood strikes me .

Doesn't count :P

screeny and half a drawing makes it a full admission
She's done Steel Guard, get over it! (ooer )

Paragon Inquirer presents the Filthy Tempest:

"Subaiku does Steel Guard! And a bunch of other people! 'Fifty a month isn't that much.'"

"Coile's marriage breaking admission on Nightsparrow: 'I liked to interact with her.'"

"Dustine breaks free from her own cult and succumbs to decadence: 'I can eat a donut if I like!'"

Relevance? Uh, if you Dove fall short on ideas...

Uhm.. What about the streaking, Coile? What about that, eh?

Steel talks about interfacing a lot.

...I had sort of hoped that was 'bygones'.

It's insane what the papers can write without *any* shred of truth! (Better shuddup now. People looking for ideas what to draw and all.)

Got my mail BD with the screenies?

Yep, got the screenies RD

Here's my latest patch of finished pictures:
November Picture #13 - Nadia and Andre
November Picture #14 - Fuchsia enjoying the night
November Picture #15 - Pyranha and Inago kissing
November Picture #16 - Subaiku in shower

The last one is answer to a dare I had a while back, and I'm not posting the link here since there's nakedness but if someone wants to see it, PM me.

I said this already but I really dig the Andre / Nadia pic. It displays the happy side of their lives, as it was once upon a time. I'm in fact strongly considering asking Sword if such a photo could exist and if yes, make the pic an IC photo that Andre could carry with him. It'd be a really nice memento from that period in time.

With Inago you've again gone for the hunk look which is more a mental image than a representation of the IG toon. Nothing wrong with it, mind you, just that the guy looks like twenty, not sweet sixteen.

With Subaiku you got the water WAY better than in an earlier scetch. Frankly, impressed.

With Fuchsia the attention is drawn to thecontrast between the almost plain and very scetch-like background and the more detailed character, which by the way has a great pose. Sometimes your poses can be a little stiff but, tho, not very recently. Which means you're getting better at it all the time.

Go commercial already!

"Fuchsia enjoying the night" rocks. The attitude in this pic is quite something!

Whatever you do Blackdove, don't stop drawing!!

Fantastic as ever, I especially like the Coile/Sword one.

Agreed with Coile that Inago looks somehow older and more studly than I'd imagine him, less teenagery. Even so, I love how it looks with the detail on the jacket and the shape of Pyr's jeans.

P.S. Did you get them screenies?

Re: Blackdove;

However have I missed this thread for so long - sorry, really beautiful and great variation in the characters you are obviously so talented in bringing to life.
Very well done - /em, applaud.

I'm looking for a graphics tablet as working with PS and a mouse is really starting to get to my wrist. What tablet would you recommend? I would preferably like something wireless with a good range so I can set it up as an easel - oh and hopefully I won't have to re-mortgage to buy one

Pressie dear!.
For the record you can pick the smallest ones up for £38+vat. Would thoroughly recommend you get at least A4 if pennies will stretch.
Considering how many hours you will be working on it, it pays as ergonomically you will notice the difference comfort -wise and with Wacom it will last you years.

[edit] Just re-read and noticed you said you wanted to set it up as an easel? - the only one you will be able to do that with aka the 'Cintiq' is a tad expensive and out of the price range of most mortals including me, its also a bit pricey to have perched anywhere but a nice stable desk.
I have tried it at a trade fair and in my opinion its wildly over-rated, So much tactile feedback you take for granted from the pencil/pen on paper is (obviously) missing.
It takes a huge amount of practice to get anywhere near as competant when doing a drawing digitally from scratch.

Awesome work BD, I can't wait to see your next batch!

If Inny looks like that, then RC must be height wise very very tall.

Wow Blackdove those are really great, I absolutely love the one of Pyranha and Inago kissing.
Brilliant stuff mate!!

AF

She just knows that Inny is the manliest of the men. nah.... he isn't really. But I bet that's how Pyr sees him.

Nice bit of advice there ML - that's why you are not only the mother to us all in game but also our mother on these forums

Cheers for the link too, although when I spotted the first couple of entries I thought you were having a laugh

New pictures:

November Picture #17 - Akkarin Pounce
November Picture #18 - Sanguimary
November Picture #19 - Coverboy Coile (filtered screenshot)

Two more of Fuchsia

November Picture #20 - Pencil Sketch of Fuchsia
November Picture #21 - Fuchsia in a Dream

Some sketches this time (I resisted playing with them on photoshop besides adjusting levels. Go me.) Two comissions, Coile and RC. At first I drew the Coile pic with Sword in the middle and Coile cuddling to her, but that didn't really work. And then he suggested using Sword/Nadia, which worked much better.

November Picture #22 - Elisa in Landing
November Picture #23 - Coile and Clones
November Picture #24 - Mad Bad Pyranha
November Picture #25 - Red Commissar, Dino And Hana

Then there's some anime pictures I'm not posting here of five french maids (don't ask), pictures #26 - #30.

November Picture #31 - Bishonen Mage Algernon
November Picture #32 - Gardener Brad (Secretly A Demon)

These are done over the last week or so, just haven't gotten around posting here. Only 18 to post now!

Blackdove

Damn i falling behind now Very very nice stuff Blackdove, Got me ready to start drawing again for another night Along with finishing the rest of my story!

I found the missing pics amusing. :P Don't ask me to pic the best of the lot.

Wow BD, I love it! Thank you!

'Bob, Nyatt!'

Again, pictures of Fuchsia really have great character.

Nearly there BD!
