I like the way you draw your klyros.

And thank you, for that spot-on portrait of Xxaallya.

I love it. :love:

(Evirea's is cool, too!)

the klyros is a really cool concept to work with, although i get lazy with the wings. i like that they are for the most part androgynous. i'm happy that out of the requests i've gotten so far, there's a nice variety of race/gender/age. i'm missing a kran, nolthrir, ynnwn, and lemur though! (I'll do a diaboli too if you all promise not to tell the boss)

i've got a couple with armor, weapons, and magic in their descriptions, so i'm excited to play around with all of that. i'm also having fun playing around with poses and background, so if you wish for your character to be engaging in an activity or in a certain setting, please include that too! when I knew Evirea, she was something of a detective, so it was easy for me to imagine her on someone's trail, poking around in the dirt, looking for clues.

I think the wings look just fine :)
I think the klyros are probably one of my favorite races, if not my favorite race.

EDIT: I think part of what appeals to me with your images here is the softness... Kind of like when I look at things without corrective lenses.

Klyros! Klyros everywhere!  ;D
Very expressive paintings!
I use my tablet with Linux and I've found that MyPaint (http://mypaint.intilinux.com/) is a very good opensource project, with a nice rendition of crayons, charcoal, watercolours... There's also a windows version 32/64bit.

Thanks peeps! I'm happy you like them thus far. Still getting the hang of it, but I'm able to move quicker which is good. I'm just hoping that by the end of this I'll have developed any semblance of a consistent style or method.

I've got some other projects that need my attention for now but I'll pick these back up next week.
all blessings to the assembled devotees.

You're not missing Nolthrir!  Unless you forgot me :P

I liked reading the title of your post on the forum, reading it once, and then coming back to see what it actually was and it was edited. Hilarious :p
