GET YOUR FFXIV CHARACTER DRAWN

[Rinoa]

Could i have some help?
I was trying to sketch Neko_Yanagi and i painted myself into a corner.

OK,so I cheated and taped a piece of paper to my monitor, I couldn't find any colored pencils so i tried to use just a regular pencil. I just can't make the nose right. Is it possible to make it nicely with a regular pencil, or should i find my colored pencils?

He got eaten by a bear while camping... Or now he is self conscious about his art with NVR and Redhare posting stuff.

I hope not. =/ I wanted to get people to not only have and share drawings of their characters, but also tie in something about the story they imagined for them. I always liked hearing that sorta stuff, especially with a picture in tow. For me, drawing your character was more about having an opportunity to share your unique creative story that you writ while playing and actually sharing it with others in a convenient way. I mean I don't like actually role-playing, but I'm continually fascinated by the imagination of MMORPG gamers.

Most the time. lol

Not bad, Rinoa~ lol tracing off the monitor... I still have a line of lead on my old Asus monitor XD But I'd actually stick with black and white and only color her pupils once it's nearly finished. The Miqotes faces are very round, so pretend it's a sphere with a nose! Find something round in your house and see how light bounces off it if you feel like being brave and experimenting with light and shadow. G'luck and have fun.

More work incoming~

Thanks RedHare.
I have an idea of how the shadows should look, just couldn't get it right with my pencil.I think what I'll do is draw the lines then use Gimp to do shading.

I hope not... although; I am sure Redhare is doing all the intimidating.

Wow RedHare, that's pretty amazing work. Here's mine if you have the time.

Thanks for giving it a go!

Fantastic, I love that you care about the story behind a picture/character! For me it's a really simple story. I came from ffxi with no friends, and the few i made in ffxiv quickly vanished. I was co-leader of a empty ls, and it was a very sad gaming experience. But I didn't give up, and I gathered a fantastic group of like-minded players that I now proudly call my ls family. With so much sadness, trials, and hard work, I now can exist in this game with a smile on my face

Plus I'm a massive flirt, hence wanting the wink lol ^.~

Whether I get a drawing of my character of not, it's fantastic that you put so much thought and heart into your art. Bravo!

awww what a pity, I really wanted to see it.

I love chilling out on tree tops but the game just doesn't let me D:

I was browsing the thread asking myself "what's the point of sketching CG characters" until i stumbled on Yanagi's picture. Just had to draw that.
Unfortunately i'm on vacation so i don't have big software installed on this laptop, but here's a good ol' cleaned pencil sketch: neko

I wanted to do it without tracing the picture, but it's trickier than i thought.
