Gah! First it's the drow eyes and now it's avariel wings. I must be quite the ignorant lout :P . I COULD change it, I suppose, but I's in no mood to go back to some old sketch. Needs to move on, that I do :D .

Xav: Maybe it's just me, but I think all those little broken-up highlights in the hair kind of take away from the effect of it...well...being hair. It looks as if you had some more subtle patches and highlights and shadows underneath, though. Perhaps those along with some darker strands here and there might have sufficed...meh, it's a suggestion; I'm an ignorant lout, remember ^_^ ? Everything else looks pretty good, though!

i think it looks better. hair can be a real pain the butt to shade or color.
Steel is my body, fire is my blood.
I've created over a thousand blades
Unknown to death.
Nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as i pray, "Unlimited Blade Works."--Archer from Fate/Stay Night

I don't think I'll have the time to draw a new picture of Aerie before this challenge is over, so I'm sharing some older pictures.

If you don't know who's style I'm (lovingly) ripping off...well then, I'll have to hit you with something. Or just give you the link.
OOTS

In any case, somehow I ended up with this:
Aerie.jpg

Behold my Stick Figure skills!

*Edit- Some trouble getting the picture to actually show up.

That... really does look a lot like an "official" OotS Aerie. :new_thumbs:

So does that mean you're volunteering to write an OOTS BG?

Tempting...at the very least, I'll probably keep making them for this forum.

Here's Aerie that doesn't look like Aerie at all <_< Ah well, there's enough fine art in this challenge to make up for this.

I'd totally dig a Order of the Stick BG-Style. I can already imagine the board starring everyone's favorite captain, Saemon Havarian.

Did two drawings today while gaming with family. Will post the results when BF is done with the scanner, in a day or so.

I'd need a decent picture of him to base it off of though...if anyone finds one though, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

Actually that goes for any pictures. OOTS-ifying people is fun.

Definitely pretty.
It's not exactly Aerie in shape, but it has some of the same feeling to it. :coolthumb:

All of the entries were splendid (wonderful work, guys!), but I liked Orthodoxia's the most. There is *something* in that drawing that makes you believe she is real; not really posed, not really detailed, it has nothing of artificiality in it. In my eyes, this girl could have really existed and enchanted some artist who made a quick sketch of her... Great work, Orthodoxia!

Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surpr-... I'll come in again.

This is the second of two drawings I did while gaming over the weekend. The first is better, but it isn't scanned yet.
