that's just the problem. If you look at the avatars in-game and the creatures thus far...there is not a lot of detail in them. I usualy draw with TO much detail. And seeing DiKra's art, clean and yet deep, made me realize that. So i was trying to go simple...wrong direction hu?

wow, i'm off for a weekend and the level of competition triple's just with Dikra alone! note: i'm not considering myself comptetition annyway...didnt turn up somthing conclusive for the competition. I'm more focusing on finding a style that wil bring a positive inpact on the game rather then...wel, screwing it up. Dikra dsnt seem to have a problem with that last time I saw Glor was this enthousiastic i remember him hiring the persone. wel, here's some quicky's. The hammerdude was made looking at avatars in game .

Its been a busy day for me, spending all my time on one drawing. If an avatar is what u'd like to present your caracter in game. The couple is mine. But its nothing near the style of the game, spend to much time i gues. I started of trying to keep it simple, rough, and wild like the example's. But i'm shure i failed. It turned out nothing near simple and all... best one i could manage today was the wind lady, wich is almost a straigh rip-off from Glor's last so now its back to the drawing board, simplifying this. wish i was out of story mode, i'd find more example's.

wel if u'd like a challenge to prove u'r worth to Glor. I'm trying somthing with a couple in a loose hug. But the woman pictured as death (not with a scythe and skul, but just clearly representing death) The trick here is that both the woman and man need the same schading, but cant blend to much when shown as a small avatar. not to mention they have to seem as a whole and have there own detail Nail this one and i dont think anyone would dare to say u have not mastered proportions and contrast If u need some reference material or somthing just give me a yel, i'l send u som HD pictures i took.

all this for the contest...easy for you to say, you have your own contest going on I never took art class. I could not name u 3 modern artists or even styles. I know little of art. However, for some reason i always see the "mesage" behind the art. Unles its political. I always joke about being born with a pen. Never realy quit drawing. Whenever i notice i'm not able to draw somthing...i get insane, my eye's widen and i dont sleep til i learned to draw it. Believe it or not, drawing human's is my worst skill I work on a helpdesk job now, and wel...it leaves little to do, i drive on auto pilot all day. Focussing on drawing. Afther 1jear of drawing from pictures (good friend google) i managed to form a decent boddy. I went on the street in my vacation and started drawing people walking by. Got myself some frends that way who are willing to pose. Got a name at the local modelbureau, and suddenly all kind of moddels where on my doorstep. but i never drew for a purpose, as a goal. I just...did. That's why i'm making such a big deal out of this, its the first time i kan actualy see a meaning or emotion for it. A purpose to pick up my pencils. and i LOVE it

another day at work, 8hours of doing...nothing. So here is another couple of wana be avatar's! I try'd to follow the rules now, full boddy's, head and feet. Style of the game (wel i try) Maybe this is more what they are looking for. They both took about 2hours. Scetching en looking for somthing more original inc. i noticed the previous ones where to light, so i shaded darker this time...learning as i go. bdw...if the contest is on now, dous that mean there is no more recruiting trough this topic? couse i'm not realy working for the contest yet...

wups, I'v been posting a lot of stuf on the guild page already. Are we limmited to only 5 entry's for the win? Or are we allowed to send u enough drawings to reach the 150 credit max :lol: uhm...where not suposed to keep our drawings secret are we? Oh, and wil it be posible for people to "reserve" an avatar for themselves?

hey, what a coincidence! good timing. Il' leave the rest to you then DexteR. This is what i made thus far...if someone likes the look...i can always change it to your style. I never had this much drawing since i quit school, uhm 5 jears ago. Come to think of it, this is the first time my drawings went pupblik with a reason! wel...1 hour later, and i made more small ones. just edit this thing and see what that dous EDIT : I deleted the man leaning on the stick, Just found out the background has a similar kind of drawing looking a lot better (main page) And i would not like the word going around i'm stealing idea's.

The sound of it alone is beautiful, i'd be a pleasure to draw somthing like that. (need somting for the contest anyway) I just need to know some details. what are pastille and venous? and no schade...is that in the picture? Or his schade is like a tree? Or did you mean he has three schade's? Lemme know, i'v already began scetching

That's why i used chains. The picture started with me just trying cat pupils in a human eye. And i blew it. So i tought "why not draw a paper around it, make it look like i dit a purpose mistake But then all kind of parts started to pop up the same way. And it realy started to look creepy! So i figured "lets go DARK here :lol: " I admit, i had a lot of room that day on the train. anyways, i had to work today. So i had plenty of time to do nothing. And came up with this. Its the first one on 3x5 and full figure made as avatar. Let me know what u think people.

Alright! seems to work! Shade seems to handle ok to. Detail bit les then i expected. I noticed there is a demand for pencil drawing. I dont like to erase my mistakes but rather live or glorify them. So i'm more of a pen artist. Tought me to go for it...fast. :lol: (i draw on trainstations, bus, benches, and have little time to capture what i see) I try'd this one on the bus (realy crowded, someone asked me if i was gay...) , took me 20 min. When i arived home i noticed the falanx by glordamar and wel...stoped. No need for 2x the seem figure right? Besides, I like that one better...more swing to it.

ok...now dont shoot me for this. I just made a drawing while waiting for the train 1.3 hours with a lot of detail to see how this paper to pixel thing works. Its not the style needed for the avatars, and has so manny mistakes i would not even have it used. Ok so its to big...i'm going to try and downsize this...if i knew how. Just took a screenshot of this picture and renamed it to .jpeg I'm not shure this is how its suposed to be done. But tel me i u see it pls :lol: please try and reduce resolution for images when posting them - chewett

Ok, so i noticed there is a lack of avatars? I dont mind drawing a few but its te first time i'm going to digitalize my drawings. -How big should i draw them to start with? My normal size drawings are 'bout a fist big. That ok? -got myself a scanner (needed it anyway) what resolution would be best? -anny preferences of filetype? (jpeg, gif, bitmap, pdf,...) Ofcourse everyone following this post knows who is dominating at this point with skill. Its gonna be hard to compete, but if people like it, why not right? ...i'l just need some time to figure out how this works...
