Just to show that I'm actually working on something (in between the exams that is )

[Deathsangel]

Nice, now if I could get a hold of eKatherina

[Orthodoxia]

No need to hurry. I'm having way too much fun coloring the background

[Orthodoxia]

I'd like to call this one done but it's your call

Actually, eKatherina promised to put them up monday or yester evening, but didn't happen was about to call her... still will, but this is very, very nice. Very different from the rest, very peace inspiring, calm... having difficulty finding the right words here.

A very very small detail if possible. Could you make the inner part of the holy symbol of her belt and necklace green (like the lower right grass patch)... This as the four-leaf clover is going to be green. I am flabbergasted already though... as you may have noticed.

Sure I've edited the post above. And you're right, it actually looks better this way.

[Deathsangel]

did you change the pendant hanging from her belt? Or was that blue shimmering there all along?
I think a little lighter green (if still possible) might be better for the symbol. It is now so dark green it attracts too much attention. Like I said I think a green like the patch of grass above the road in the right corner would be a perfect color to offset it, but not being too much. I mean bright it ought to be, but I don't know. From a short distance it looks great, but closing in I get the feeling it is a bit too much... I am unsure...

I am saving this version already though

How about now? And yes, it was always shimmering . It's magic

[Deathsangel]

I stared at both now for several minutes and in the end decided for the first dark green version. Sorry... In conjuction with the dark blue of the pouch and dark belt, it seems dark green is better.
It now looks a bit too much like a grass stain IMO. I will save this one as well and let others judge as well, so thank you, but for now I will use the first version for the book.
Oh and don't worry about the blue shimmering it is fine, I am just surprised I missed it on my first examination. I have both magic and tech in my world, it is steampunk meet magic after all.
Well done on the holy symbol by the way. It is a pretty good copy of its intricate design.

[Orthodoxia]

Glad you liked it

[Galsic]

Yet another edit. Have at 'im .

That looks nice!!!

What I like:
The nails, a little pointy is cool
Good equipment / weaponry.
The facial expression
Blue for a hair color? Like a nice punk goblin.

Now for some things I find lesser. I know the drawing you made is like some people picture goblins, but I would like to stay a bit closer to the MM.
As with the feet I would like to see a bit bigger eyes and bigger ears, as is within the monster manual picture
Along with that I would like the nose to be more like the MMI picture.
Would it be possible to create a bit longer arms, but for example pushing the elbow back with the pistol arm (that is too good to redraw ) and slightly lengthening the other?

Here this well help, an excerpt from the City Goblins (should have posted that earlier ):

Physical Description: City Goblins look just like their ?wild? cousins. They are small, standing about 3 to 3 ½ feet tall and weighing 40 to 45 pounds. They have flat faces with broad noses, pointed ears, wide mouths and small, sharp fangs. Their foreheads slope back en their eyes are usually dull and glazed, varying in color from red to yellow. Their skin color ranges from yellow through any shade of orange to a deep red. They walk upright, but their arms hang down almost to their knees. They wear clothing of dark leather, tending toward drab, soiled-looking colors. City Goblins reach adulthood at about the age of 9, and they typically live about 40 years. They rarely reach 50 years of age.

I am willing to alter slightly to match better, but not too much.

My last post has been edited. Now that I look at it, I may want to change the chin some, too. Btw, I used a WotC image as reference for the face: link. Does that work for ya?

That is indeed the picture from the MM1. I was talking about. It depends a bit per subspicies though. Bugbears do have a nose, hobgoblins (which for some reason is left out of the normal gallery (your link, but than page 152/3) are in between, Dekanter golbins are just akward, and Forestkith Goblins have very small noses (which is very odd for goblins)
Chin is now indeed a bit too blocky

Same post edited. Personally, I can think of little else to do with him, but, as always, you get the last word .

Haha
No need, he is pretty perfect the way he is now

[wonnimchunha]

I am a bad girl. VERY VERY VERY BAD. I wasnt busy at all either, I just wanted to enjoy my winter break

Not sure if you even want this anymore, but I finally got to coloring that priest dude.



As usual, I have no clue what to do with the background >_< (but hopefully that's ok?)

[Deathsangel]

Oh I surely want it! And I find the background just fine.
I am actually back on my own pc and the system and world is being playtested as of tomorrow. I still hope to receive the other drawings that people were making, would be a shame not to. Still got a Drow Fighter, City Golbin, and a Daeceo standing out from people of the forum... also hopefully eKatherina will finish up some work.
Thanks very much! I hope this will kickstart this topic again with this wonderful drawing and my return!

[Galsic]

I hate to say it, but methinks you'll be waiting on the goblin for a while longer. Up until now, I hadn't really been in the artsy mood all month and I still want to enter something in the art contest. Until that and other things are squared away, the goblin and other drawings I've been meaning to do have been pushed aside for the time being. I still wanna finish him eventually, though.

[Deathsangel]

No worries,
the boards are also a bit more quite. I reckon it is the months of december and january
