Posted my intro post. Yuhuh. Now, the attention-whoring! biggrin Oldest to newest, here's a bunch of pictures. Apologies for the large image sizes and stuff. sweatdrop  Quitch! A character of mine from #Vagrant. Kobolds! I love these little D&D critters. They're the weediest monsters out there, but make up for it with raw attitude. This is a shameless Frank Frazetta style-hack. xd  Pariah, tiefling bard. Character portrait for Icewind Dale II. Street punks. Commissioned illustration for the Pretender RPG. Louche. Playing around with watercolours. Current work-in-progress. Tengu-like critter, inspired by far too many hours spent playing Final Fantasy VII. sweatdrop I have other artwork on devArt, Elfwood and yerf. WOO.

Aye, Zahir, you have a good grasp on your medium, and a fairly good eye for anatomy as well. In a few of your images, particularly the street punks one, and the Tengu-like creature one, your legs/arms seem to fall a little short, and the fingers one one of the fellows in the street punks image are a bit on the chunky/sausagefinger side...
But you're really good! And I love the design of the character you show first. XD

But you're really good! And I love the design of the character you show first. XD Thank you. whee The street punks picture was a short-notice commission thing, and probably one of the more involved pictures I've done as far as number of figures and composition are involved - mostly I do single figures and character portraits and stuff. I really need to practice scenery and buildings and perspective and stuff. ninja

Your style is really sweet though... heart eek I love the hard line work combined with the hot computer coloring techniques. biggrin

Very stylish stuff. I really like your character ideas and attention to detail in those pics. The perspective could use some work though; especially apparent in the streetpunks pic..

Wow. Love the digital works, very nice soft edges all around.
Proportions are a bit off here and there, but looks like you're trying to work that into a style, more than not knowing it.

Very nice work! In additon to your style and character design I also really like the fact you have enough patience for good backgrounds (I suck at that). I won't repeat the crits that have already been stated. Aside from those I really don't see any propblems. Indeed, I'll be keeping an eye open for more. 3nodding

12th Wow. Love the digital works, very nice soft edges all around. Proportions are a bit off here and there, but looks like you're trying to work that into a style, more than not knowing it. I tend to sway back-and-forth between cartoony/anime sort of styles and somewhat more realistic sort of stuff. Basically, whatever kind of thing I've been looking at recently and have decided is a style that I like, I try to imitate and assimilate the bits I like into my own work. Hence the Frank Frazetta stylings for the kobolds picture, or the somewhat moody lighting for the Pariah piece (which started out like the character portraits for Icewind Dale II, but got a bit more detailed as I worked on it). 3nodding As for the proportions, recently a lot of the stuff I've been drawing has been of the cartoon/anime variety, so my proportion-sense is a bit skewed still. sweatdrop

Shooners the water colours are making me slightly hot and bothered, I'm in love with that one. crying Watercolours, eh? Let's see what else I can find in my directories...  Chatty dragon. One of my first proper watercolour attempts, once I'd spent a while splatting pigment on paper to remind myself how paints are different from pixels. Tailchaser dragon. A sort of follow-up to the chatty dragon. Ow, the cute. eek The following were done while I was on vacation last Easter, away from my precious precious Wacom tablet. Spearman. After spending a few months away from the watercolours I flubbed an attempt to use all sorts of colours, so decided to start with the basics - sepia tones, light and dark, very limited palette. Watchman. Watercolour and sepia pencil. The sepia pencil was horrible and smudgy and crumbly and not terribly easy to work with. I really need to get some sepia ink or something. Torro. Minotaur thingy. Fairly self-explanatory. Dark Tower. Just a wee bit influenced by the Lord of the Rings movies. ninja These two were painted when I was on a pirate kick. Yarr. One-eyed Jack, the pirate chief,
was a terrible, fearsome ocean thief.
He wore a peg upon one leg,
he wore a hook and a dirty look!
One-eyed Jack, the pirate chief
a terrible, fearsome ocean thief!Not all pirates can afford a full-fledged parrot when they're just starting out on a life of buccaneering and bootlegging. whee

He's another #Vagrant character, though one I've not actually got round to playing. I'm quite pleased with the sort of mingling of Eastern Orthodox ikon and soviet propaganda poster imagery in the background. 3nodding

That picture is ._.
Wow.
I usually find images that use anthropomorphic characters boring, but no, no, you did a damn fine job.
