Draw your Character

This was before I fantasia'd to an au ra->

If there are any artists out there who are familiar with drawing special effects, I request your help! I've been drawing a little chat blocker to spice up my stream with, but I am having trouble visualizing the Royal Road effect:

In a nutshell: That cards needs to burn! In a more subtle way; it doesn't have to represent the hellfires from the Bowl of the Embers. But I have no idea how to draw fire and with the attempts I did, it looked very out of place. If anyone has any tips or examples, or simply draw over the image and I'll try to copy it in my own style, I'd be very grateful.

Edit: Actually, playing with fire* for three hours straight got me a somewhat acceptable result. But I'm still open for suggestions!

* digital fire, mind you

GabbyGoodArts drew my cat for caturday yesterday.

Specifically, she drew her spacing out while balancing a dagger on her finger.

And I love it.

Drew my char while waiting for maintenance to finish :P

Drew this awhile ago.

Just gotta say, I've been away from the forums for months and I'm incredibly happy to see that this thread is still going. FFXIV can and should inspire art, in no small part thanks to the artists behind the scenes.

Here's a bit of a quickie:

(I almost never actually play as Scholar but Eos tends to show up anyway whenever I hit the sauce...)

I know these aren't really drawings, but they are a form of art so I figured this was the best thread to put these in. c:

I recently made some signature/forum avatar combos as gifts for my top followers on tumblr. They came out really pretty and I wanted to share them on the forums as well. :D Because I am literally so in love with them and I've been posting them everywhere.

*I'd also like to point out that the background images were taken off Google (most of them are from stock websites, except for just the sun? I think there might be another thing, but I don't remember ^.^") and the shapes came from my version of photostop*

Prepare for a dump of three things I put together recently.

I felt like I wanted to draw something ridiculously florid while testing out more ways to colour, three hours well spent because I think I finally found out my preferred way! With Evan, I use a lot of flower imagery so I think it felt right.

And now let's go back ten years in Evan's life when he's like what... twelve? Thirteen?

And some doodle when I tried working with the curly hair but I wasn't feeling it:

Here's a speedpaint I did of my character a while back, although I have long since changed her hairstyle :D Changed the limbal ring color to red too.

This is absolutely insane! :O

Ehhhh, I tried. My reaction is pretty much my character's face. Kinda feel like drawing her ore now though. XD

WOW, so much amazing art here.

I guess its time fire up my Gimp and start drawing again. Well, this is a commission for my FC pal I m actually work on. At the moment, its just a quick drawing without any details and clear lines. To be honest, I ve done the lineart of his commission months before, but I wasnt satisfied. So, I decided to draw it from scratch again.

Its already very nice. Even without colors.

I always wanted my au ra get mohawk. I draw him

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! teach meeee!! D:

I like to draw scenes from little scenario ideas I have between two characters of mine. A Father and Son. This scene depicts a moment where the father; a Elezen/Hyur halfbreed, snaps on his son. D:

http://i.imgur.com/6aQ3C7P.png

These two don't get along, even on the best of days. :D But such is the life of a single widower Highlander/Wildwood half-breed having to deal with his lousy, pathetic quarter-breed of a son!

A speedpaint I did of Evan from yesterday.

Wooo back to this coloring style I go.

Since a lot of people are talking about the unlock of gender lock in equipments.. My girlfriend told me ''I did a drawing of your 2nd character!'' and this is the result.
I love it xD

Also, because it's relevant, here are the character's tattoos:

Oh no, the topic dropped to the fourth page!
Anyway, something I drew on stream the other day. Thought I'd share. I'm really bad at weapons. :)

I'll probably never finish this. It's been gathering dust in my folder for over six months. My characters Haprilona & Étoileaux.
