It’s been quite some time, but I finally finished drawing the other character that goes in the WoW-inspired scenario you can see posted below. Now to color them both and insert them in it.

I’m really caught behind with my work on commissions, but I’ll be trying to get through it all from here until next week. So expect a lot of stuff to get posted here during these next few days.
This image is the uncolored version of one of the two characters that is supposed to be walking through the scenario you saw in an ealier post (two posts down, I believe).
After the coloring (which can sometimes be a real pain in the ass) and the fog effects and all that, here’s the finished version of the scenery I’ve been working on:
So… I’m happy about it. Yeah. But I still have to make the characters which are… like… you know… you main part of the whole commission. So I’m sitting here with a huge grin on my face because I just finished this thing and the client’s probably just looking at it and saying “yeah… but where are the characters?”
Nevertheless, I’m satisfied. Now… back to work!
Yup, like I said before, I love drawing images from World of Warcraft. The commissioned image was originally for a couple of characters with background, so I suppose I’d have to admit that I’ve gone a bit overboard with this piece of scenery – but heck, I just love drawing these things!
After it’s done, I’ll produce both the characters walking down the path and insert them into the image. For now, here’s the finished pencil.
After that, we start coloring, and the first step is to color in with flat colors so we can separate the basic parts of the image, in this case: vegetation, wood, rock, ground and sky.
I’ll show more as more gets done.
I’m working on a commission of some WoW characters, and this is the scenery they’re walking through.
I do so love working on WoW-based images….
There was something in the bard’s position in relation to the chair that just wasn’t convincing me entirely, so I gave it another go.
This is actually the final image, so I just took a picture of the drawing table, cropped it and then editted it a bit in Photoshop so the lines would be a lot more defined. The paper itself looks a lot dirtier than it actually is.
So I’m working on several things at the same time here, and this particular thing is a half-elf psionic bard playing a lute, sitting in a chair. He’s evil, but he also seems to be the kind of evil that’s… well… enchanting. So I tried to make him look as relaxed and cool as was possible – which is also why I decided to have him sit in the chair sideways.
We’ll see what the client has to say.
So, I’ve decided to open a Lulu account, so I can sell comic prints and posters and such – and I thought it’d be really cool to start it all off with a CNZ poster.
I’ve got several ideas running around in my head, so I did some rough sketches to see which one works better. I might still have another couple before I make my mind, but I’m willing to listen to people’s opinions (you’ll be the ones buying them, after all).
So, whaddya think? Which one works better (if they work at all)?
Work continues on the “Dragon breakfast” image. It’s practically done now, all that’s missing is the images that would appear on the cereal box, the boxes on top of the fridge and the newspaper. After that, all that’s left to be done is adjust the colors. Oh, and whatever I decide to put outside the open window.
Ok, ok… so I’ll openly admit that this here blog has been kept, well… unkept for quite some time. But after changing the update schedule for the comic and all the other stuff that has been going on I finally managed to get stuff back in working order in my life, sit down and get some work done.
So I started off by removing all the old posts, updating the blog system and finally, posting a couple of images from what I’m currently working on. This commission is long overdue, but hopefully, if I actually managed to (sort of) organize myself properly, I should engage a rather productive working rhythm now.
So first, the finished pencil of “Dragon Breakfast”:
And then, the image cleaned up and ready to get colored (and even clored, a bit):
Of course, I keep this images small because only the person that commissioned them should have the large version. Nevertheless, you’ll get to see a larger version when it’s done.
Oh, and I’ll be making the blog a little bit less plain – visually – as soon as I can.
