Here is the finished version of that night elf I teased a while ago with the sketch. Coloring this one was pretty challenging but it worked out in the end. I did a process thing for this one because its a good example of how much good lighting can improve a scene, so take a look here (for some reason DA has been stupid with direct links lately, using some token system, so Im linking the stash page instead and you can zoom in/download it from there... I hope they fix it soon and put it back the way it was).

Ive actually been having a hard time coloring stuff lately, or rather... I want to make things more colorful, with a bigger variety of colors, but its hard to do that without ruining the mood or without making the background distracting. Of course it depends a lot on the character, some are very easy to work with and others not so much (ironically my au ra is one of the hardest), so its just something Im gonna have to figure out slowly over time.

Magic?! It's DEFINITELY magic regardless ..or voodoo A timelapse would definitely be something I watch. Not sure if you could live stream the process somewhere without ToS biting you in the rear but could be something too. I'll go on sites and just watch people and their trades, don't have to be vocal or anything

Well the point of those is exactly to help people understand how it goes from sketch to finished so it doesnt look like magic or something Ideally youd want a timelapse video of the whole coloring process of course but Ive never done anything like that so Id have to learn how to video edit and all that... Maybe one day

man, this is awesome. the development photos blow my mind lol. how the hell do you go from *this* to *THAT* :0!

Gorgeous hottie ! :) I'm very glad you made the DH nelf to your taste ; i'm not very fan of the super long ears and eyebrows too. I rather love how you made them here ; longer than usual humanoid, but not too much. Love a lot that sexy pose and the light play on her x3 Very lovely !

Those are the initials of her lover, which you will see in a future couple scene :o

I was a little suprise with the bright green eyes on a purple theme but it's look really great like this. what does N and O on her collar mean ?

Usually the last pic is basically the part where Ive "finished" the actual drawing process and I just start tweaking it in photoshop... colors, contrast, adding the depth of field to the background and so on It makes a huge difference because it gives the drawing this "polished" look its missing before that

Yeah its a demon hunter, with the tail and horns adding giving her almost a succubus look which I really like What you said about the ears applies especially to the eyebrows, and thats the thing I was worried about since I really dislike the super long eyebrows they have in game, but I didnt just want to make them "normal" sized since its an integral part of a night elf Thats the kind of thing that makes it so challenging to draw characters Im not used to, figuring out how to convert things to my style, while also keeping the essence of the original Its both exciting and scary at the same time

Looks amazing, turned out really well. Looks like a Demon Hunter night elf (probably whats its supposed to be?) and that tail adds to the whole feeling of that. The lighting and shading indeed gave it a lot more life. Always nice to see the process of it being coloured and finished. I also like how you made the ears smaller than ingame, makes the elf look a lot better imo.

I said it before when you did Ann, but I really like seeing your process pics. The second last image could almost pretty much be considered done, but then you add the final highlights and shadows and it just makes everything pop, and the colors become extra juicy.
