FanArt: My contest enteries!

[Jared_T]

Well I haven't posted any artwork here in awhile so I guess I'll start with this one.

This one was a concept sketch so I could have an idea of what my character looked like with a modified Gojgoj Tunic (http://www.pso-world.com/items/psu/8/282/gojgoj_tunic) for my other picture. The child version of my character was just to amuse myself http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif then I spent about an hour or two coloring an 10min to slap a screen cap background an done.

Far more effort went into this one.

After the concept sketch I went with a pose that you would normally see a Techer use when casting which turned out to be a bit more complex than I first anticipated. But I think turned out very well. The background was also taken from a screen cap found on the forums and then meticulously recolored due to the low quality of the source an the distortion when stretched to the rez I wanted, and also I wanted to get rid of the HUD. This one took about 12 hours for the figure an 20 for the BG.

Looks great.

I don't really feel entitled to give you any serious feedback, but I (as a moderate drawer) think it looks great. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

one minor thing, is that the character and the background don't match (the style) I always got the same problem when it comes to drawing some serious background.

other than that the line art is great! really like it! Did you use an screenshot for the pose/anatomy?

omg no way i voted for you lol i loved your drawings i voted for the before and after on with the child and then the adult the background and detail was awesome

[Jared_T]

Yeah the background for the first picture I didn't even try to get it to match. The second picture I did try to get as close as I could but ran out of time.
As for the pose I took many screen shots as reference material to get an idea for the pose. Not sure what you mean for the anatomy? Shalan is a freakishly tall an well endowed Newerl. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
