Thanks guys! For over all character design and back story Elyndiel is by far one of my favorite toons and I'm totally in love with this image of her right now.. I'm very tempted to continue working on new pics of her after I get the last two Hero Dawn SG characters colored and posted (which I'm hoping to have ready by this weekend). Maybe a desktop wallpaper or a vs. picture?
Great work as usual!
I'll say this again TS but that one looks awesome.

I've wanted to approach digital painting for a while but just haven't made the time to really get into it. Recently I've been dabbling in a more painted style using old pencil work as a base to work from. So far most of the stuff I've done is absolutely terrible and at this point I think it's time to search for Photoshop tutorials to learn the techniques I'm missing. Here is one of my paint projects as an example where I'm at.. The character sketch is based on my old Katana/Regen Scrapper, Kazuhiro.
Behold, my absolute lack of painting skill!!!
Thanks guys. That "rough" look is definitely something I was going for, kinda like the more current Street Fighter art. I use that stuff as inspiration and a basis of comparison in skill. Kazuhiro is really early work in this style so with more practice I should be able to post something better soon. /em thumbsup
No worries Twiz all pencil artists crossing over to digital are n00bs at first (I certainly was no exception ).
It's a completely new medium that can be very counter-intuitive until you learn to wrap your head the
concepts involved but stick with it (and resist the urge to smash your tablet/mouse ) and the improvement will come.
You're off to a great start.
Haahah.. thanks CR. Digital work is very different from any other medium I've worked in and there's a lot of things that you can get away with that almost feel like cheating when you think of more traditional methods.
Here's a peek at a new project I'm working on. This is the first run of character art for a comic page style poster based on a fan fiction I wrote. The short story is about my character Cecilia Drake called, A Dark Beginning (which I might post after I get this project done). This is still pretty early work as there's additional characters, paneling, and background art that needs to go in but I figured I'd share what I have so far.
A Dark Beginning W.I.P.

exactly as it was with no erasing lines or smudges always feels like cheating to me.
Here's a look at stage 2 of my comic page WIP, A Dark Beginning.
Now that I have all the characters drawn I can start coloring, woot! I'm still undecided on how to detail the background for the bar scene though... Drawing a background pub isn't exactly exciting but has to get done. I was thinking of using an in-game screen shot for the main scene and might take the easy road and do the same for the bar. =/
A shot of Pocket D perhaps? The underground lounge? Or there's that new nightclub in Praetoria too.
Some kool stuff happening in your thread, Twiz!! Your WIP, A Dark Beginning, looks great! I am totally looking forward to seeing how you colorize it!!

Thanks Vex!
A Dark Beginning W.I.P. now with flats. To save time I decided to cheat and use in-game screen shots for the background.
With the bulk of the work done it shouldn't take much longer to work on shadows, highlights, and finishing touches to have this ready to post along with the short story that inspired it.
I sorta got side tracked on my comic page for Darkavia and have been practicing my digital painting. I found some great online tutorials that have helped massively and made the whole experience a lot more rewarding. So, here's yet another WIP for my lil'dark Defender! It still has a LONG way to go yet before I'm done. But looking back on my work with Kazuhiro, even at this stage I think it shows quite a bit of improvement.
.. Oh and I still plan on getting back to my comic page!
Darkavia Painting W.I.P.
Looks great. Hell, even the in game reference is very cool
