Posted on February 8, 2015 by | Comments Off on Character Design Contest ♯106 (TGT- Fantasy) Winner

We finally had a close contest this week, for the first time this year. The top two were within a couple of votes all week (at one point it looked like it could end in a draw). However, our winner eventually managed to sneak ahead and take the win comfortably. And that winner is Linea24 for her A Faeries First Steps into the Sky piece. Congrats Linea and well done to everyone who entered.

Open Critique Day #12

Posted on February 6, 2015 by | Comments Off on Open Critique Day #12

Okay, I'm really sorry that this was late again. I had a busy plate this week.

By the way guys, please don't be afraid to post something. This is something that requires (in fact, it's pretty much all) audience participation.

As for how this goes, you post a work of yours, finished or WIP (aka work in process, for those who are new to abbreviations), and then others give you critiques on your work.  I do not mind if you post the occasional non-HM picture or piece of writing. Just make sure that you only post pictures that are your own design and not any that copyrighted or based off of copyrighted characters. 

Also, again, if you post a work, it is highly recommended that you also give someone else a critique.

Character Of The Week: Candruth- Portrait

Posted on February 6, 2015 by | Comments Off on Character Of The Week: Candruth- Portrait

Yep, another Candruth one. But this time I'm not actually going to talk about it, and not because I've talked at length about Candruth's shading ability multiple times now. But instead Candruth quite nicely did a time-lapse video of the shading process for this picture, which I think everyone should see. Pay close attention kiddies, you're about to learn a few things.
