Moja stands in defiance of tyranny.
Amazing... \\o//
Thanks, talented Aramara :)
All your portraits are pretty full of expressiveness, but in this case I've also to say that that's her: that's a Moja, definetly :thumbup:

Some of these characters look like they would be tremendously fun to RP with.

Thank you for your hard work, Ara! As everyone's mentioned before, you bring them to life, not just still-life.

Great job on this one and all the others Aramara! I love how you're using different styles for different characters; it really adds another layer of expressiveness and uniqueness to each piece.

Hey ! I would like one too =D

Jilerel - Curious Nolthrir, wearing a formal suit. He has blue eyes.
He's kind, and always willing to solve mysteries. Jilerel is Overlord in the Empire, and has a lot of paperwork to do along with solving problems. He's also good in azure magic and with sabres.
One of main habit is to raise his finger at the height of his head when he think he has found something interesting.

Thanks !

Re: Character Portrait Requests — Derorund

That's a very interesting representation of a gemmation beginning, Ara.  I had just presumed that it happened internally.  I think it should be accepted :sorcerer: as part of the PlaneShift settings (if it hasn't already)!

it's supposed to be internal. you described Derorund as being translucent, so I tried to rendered Kra's belly as 'glowing with inner life' as it were. Iunno, just kind of what I imagined.

Or are you referring to the other crystals around kra? those are just there for decoration, or maybe some magical rite performed to ensure a healthy gemmation? I don't know!

Yeah, a pregnant kran seated cross-legged on the floor is hard to draw! sorry if it doesn't read well.  :sweatdrop:

Yes, kra was translucent (but not any more :'( ), you were right; and yes, I was referring to the crystals.  I do think they are a neat idea, even if you were only trying to decorate the scene.  There's one for the Blue Way, one for the Red, one for the Dark, and one for the, um, Green. ;)
And it “reads” well.  Your portraits always have an emotive, stylistic air, so maybe you should try to be more stuck-up about your work, like the avant garde.  Then make a tunafish sandwich.  Juggle it. :-*

It's fun to see so many new paintings from you Ara, now that you have a drawing tablet. Even though they're quick studies, and I guess they have to be to even try and keep up with all requests of your talents, at this painting stage it makes it easier to guess some of your thoughts and process toward building each composition. Or in other words... getting a glimpse inside your head... scary stuff, I know!  :D

Out of curiosity, what painting app are you using?

mostly corel painter essentials 4 (it came bundled with the tablet) and using photoshop for help with lighting, color balance, etc.

the first few were done primarily in photoshop, until I got more comfortable with the brushes in corel painter.

it's great to get feedback from you dannae, i'm happy the summoning spell worked :)

and the inside of my head isn't THAT scary!
