World of Warcraft, I could never hate you.
Especially not when you let me be a Tauren who kicks things to death and loves his brew. (The temptation to be Panda everything is strong, but Tauren is stronger.)
Another fun doodle. I found what I believe to be a slightly better camera? Let me know if it's troublesome in any way. Still trying to find a solution for these larger-than-average drawings.
Moving on back into digital after this one, doing a few portraits to keep myself motivated.
(I apologize for the lighter-than-average thumbnail. I can't seem to get it to darken? It's like the opposite problem I used to have, where things would be too dark!)
I believe I got the shading fairly accurate, as best I could between my eyes and my monitor colors. But the original is a lot more crisp, it feels, which I don't believe I know how to fix (if it's at all possible, as I haven't heard of something like that) -- if I had a scanner that could fit this, that might help? I'm a bit ignorant to all that sort of stuff, though.
Thank you! <3
You're very welcome! grins
Being a traditional artist, I struggle hard with getting my stuff to scan as best as possible...scanners aren't too favoritable towards art (unless it is just inked lines, B&W scan well!) that is pencils or colors I've seen. chuckle
When I was working on my roommate's scanner, I usually had to set the scan to something nuts like 300 DPI, and then shrink it back down to keep the image crisp, if I recall correctly. It was never perfect, but it seemed to help. That might be an option? I don't know how many scanners offer that, though -- I know the one I now work with is from, like, the early 2000's or something. Isn't an option for me anymore. It could use an upgrade. So many things to save up for.
I can't lie, pencils are sort of therapeutic for me. I made a note to go buy a new set (I only have HB, B, and 8B to work with, so my values are somewhat limited!), and to try and work more traditional into my practice. But something about pencil-work is just sort of calming. I really like it.
Thank you~
Wow this looks absolutely fantastic! being a tauren myself I approve of this image. xD sadly didn't make him a monk :3 shaman all the way.
I started as a Troll Priest in Vanilla. Once the Cataclysm let me be a Tauren Priest, I never looked back. My monk is going to be my PvPer and attempt at doing the Loremaster achievement (the one thing I'd like to do more than anything else in the game).
Thank you! I'm glad you like it. <3 Taurens 4 life.

WOW. I mean totally WOOOOOOOOOOW...the shading on this is impressive to the max! And the muscle detail is fabulous! I can only imagine how much better this looks in real life, since I know scanners and cameras generally never do traditional art justice!
