Great work, Bardess.

I like WeeR's, too. Poor Khalid looks like he is not quite sure who of that two he should be afraid the most.

[Ranya]

Bardess, your Xzar reminds me of a guy a saw at a concert last week - which is slightly scary.
But I adore his facial expression - certainly some kind of 'I won't bite if you don't touch me'-look.
Simply hilarious.

And WeeRLegion, I almost pity Khalid for being caught in between for Jaheira's eyes and wild hair makes her look like
a) a berserker
b) a medusa
and I cannot say which one would be less threatening to have for a wife
Great scene.

Thanks all for the comments. :]


@Ranya
You don't think Jaheira IS something of a berserker? At least a good candidate for education! .p

[Bardess]

Thanks for all the feedback. I lol'd!


WeeRLegion, they look great in cooperation!

[Ranya]

Oh, WeeRLegion, I do not think that Jaheira would make a good berserker - she'd deserve her own class instead...

Perhaps something like 'permanently worried and notoriously nagging druid armed with quarterstaff and ready to bite off heads if necessary'. ?

DEAR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

I have just realized that the challenge is 'They come in Pairs' and not 'They come in PARIS'. Which, BTW, sounded like a very interesting topic...

nice entries Bardess and Legion ;-)

BTW Legion, your pic made me understand that PARIS was *not* involved in the challenge

[WeeRLegion]

Pairs, Paris, Paris, plenty of people seem to have gotten that mixed up. .p




*Edited out a link. .p

...for the terrible crime of making me interpret "come in Paris" in ways better not left to human imagination, I am going to have to do something really unpleasant to you as soon as I stop throwing up.

Thanks a lot.

[WeeRLegion]

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! No kill! No kill! x***P

[vilkacis]

...ugh, fine, you probably aren't worth that many XP anyway.


Actually, we seem to be getting ever so slightly off topic, and should probably return to either A, drawing things or B, talking about things people have drawn.

[darlarosa]

thumbs up to both

[WeeRLegion]

Thankies to all, and now something I missed one night's sleep working on...
I dare say it does look quite good to mine eyes. @_@

Of course, by tomorrow I'll probably start noticing the mistakes. I mean, hell, I was 3/4 asleep during most of the coloring process, but whatever. .p


I do think you might recognize the characters.

UPDATED*3:


BIGGER Version

Old version

*Removed the caption, felt it was kinda spoiling the feel of the pic. .p
*Fixed the fire, I had the color progression upside down. And wrong to boot. Also fixed ground lighting by korgan's boots. xP

I'm no artist (which is why I normally refrain from posting in these threads), but to my "untrained" eye that looks like the best image you have produced WeeR. The level of detail in the full sized image is impressive, and your lighting and shadow effects are superb.

The only criticism I can find with it is this: Korgan's right limbs appear to be significantly thicker than his left. Was this done for perspective? To make it appear as though his right side is closer to the viewer than his left? If so, I think you overdid it just a tad.

[Eleima]

Oh, super coolness!!! A Mazzy n Korgan pairing!!! I really like it, WeeRLegion! I hadn't thought of them, but they're quite the odd but sweet pair.

[Aliya]

Err... WeeR, I know that you hadn't slept, but I think you didn't go with proportions, right... if, you mentally stretch out Korgan's right arm, it's level will be below the knee. It's rather long arms, even for a dwarf.

Spoiler

Freakishly Long... I might add

Anyways, it rather nice picture!

[Silinde Ar-Feiniel]

Hey WeeR! I think it's one of your best works! Korgan's armor is GREAT! i now see what your armor practice was for! The lightening and the fire are also great! I like the way you did Korgan's beard and Mazzy's hair!

[Anaximander]

It's rather long arms, even for a dwarf.

Well, but if you take a look at real people who are affected by dwarfism, you'll see that their arms tend to be disproportionately long compared to their bodies. I'm not sure if that applies to the dwarven race of the Forgotten Realms, but I'll give WeeR the benefit of the doubt on that one.

[WeeRLegion]

Thanks all.
Took a good while making that, so I'm very glad to hear you guys like it.


Yeahh. I'm seeing it better, now... Think the right arm is a little bit overdone.
I intentionally drew it a bit longer than normal human proportions; dwarves in fantasy artwork often do have longish arms, and comparatively heavy build otherwise.
But er, yeahh, it's a slgiht bit overdone.

Hm, guess, I could also have tried figuring out a better texture for the dirt patch there, the lack of detail on it kinda makes Korgan and Mazzy pop out a bit too much.


EDIT: Did a quick fix for the arm. It's a slight bit lighter now.

Fixed

[Lythari]

Wow, WeeRLegion. It's probably your best picture I've seen till now.*_* The shadings and lights, and those details on armour and background. It is amazing for me.

[Bardess]

Aww, cute little things fighting by the fire! I wish Mazzy would just accept him.
