I've got lots of rubbish - loads of pictures, ranging from full on paintings to silly little sketches; here;s some of them

First up - HALF DRAGONS. I am pretty much obsessed with half dragons from a design point of view - I love hybrids in general, and half dragons are my absolute favourite.









Next, I'll dig out my demons and tieflings (although I'll spare you my plethora of Valen Shadowbreath fanart - there's already enough of that on my other art thread! )

OMG! They're so awesome! The first one really rocks! So many details!

[Aliya]

I'm absolutely in love with your first half-dragon portrait! Can you do a BG resolution, to import it in-game? Please!

[Mistress Elysia]

Thank you very much! The first portrait is one of the few of my drawings I am actually pleased with on the whole (there are a few things I would change if I could...) - it was a lot of fun to play with all those lovely colours!

As for making her into a portrait - give me a bit and I'll see if I can sort that out (I'm not too good at resizing portraits - it really does take me some time to get it right! |There must be ab easier way to get it done as opposed to my 'trail and error - mainly error' approach).

I can do it for you if you want ;-) or I can give you a few tips on how to do it based upon which programs you use for digital art.

You got some really nice looking artwork going on. The details adds a lot of feeling into your drawings.

[Mistress Elysia]

Thanks!

Okies - demons and their ilk a-comin' (n including Fade or Valen who, I have to admit, make up most of my tiefling drawings )....

[Silinde Ar-Feiniel]

Your linearts are simply great! I wish I could achieve such details!

PS: that devil's hair remind me my own, before I cut them... At least I have no horns....

Dex Devil is my favourite of the new artworks! The picture looks better than the others, the coloring is neater.
BTW which font did you use?

[Aliya]

I love the lady tiefling before dex-devil!

[Mistress Elysia]

Thanks, everyone! Dex Devil is actually quite dear to me - he is inspired by Ronon Dex, a character from Stargate Atlantis, played by the actor Jason Momoa (whom I adore just a teensy bit more than I possibly should....). I met him about 18 months ago and showed him a portrait I drew of him (which I will be posting here at some point, I imagine!), which he signed (for free, he was so chuffed with it). He then insisted that I sent his mother a copy. I was a bit nervous about doing this, so my friend Rachael told her about my artwork via his official website (his mum runs it, bless him...) and so I eventually sent it to her... she then included it in a charity calendar, and asked if I had any more Jason artwork (which I do. Sad, aren't I??). She saw the sketch and loved it, and asked if I would colour it for her, so I did (it has also been included in the calendar - I got 5 pieces in in the end!). So, in a sort of surreal twist of fate, I did this for one of my favourite actor's mum (hence the reason why I took supa-care with regards to the colouring...) - not something everyone gets to do, but heigh ho!

The font I used was from this deviant: http://rl-brushes.deviantart.com/

Very nice stuff! :]
My faves are certainly the traditional medium works, the first half-dragon there is particularly amazing. :]

The 'Trueform Dex Devil' is definitely your best piece of digital artwork, especially with so much detail. I also especially love your lady tiefling/cambion/demonspawn in general. She definitely fits in the Planescape setting. Those boots, though... they look like they'd make a better weapon than shoes.

I love that you make tieflings look like more than just humans with a tail and horns.

That's too sweet you're lucky, if I were you I would have died of heart attack

Good job with these. Great stuff.
