I have been drawing this character for 3 days. Greyscale due to practicing values. While aplying colors I figure this was a total disaster and artwork need lots of tweaking. Practice makes perfect I guess.

**nfwar used "*roll picture*"**
**nfwar rolled image**Design or shape was not a disaster. Point of this drawing was to practice values, levels of black and white. Trying to color this drawing would make it weird (material definition for example).

Artists don't seek to be better than just the 90% tho

Still **** her, though.

Tell me more. Yes, I edited her sketch just for you

Don't be weird, dude. I just want those hyper-realistic eyes staring up at me while that hyper-realistic mou--never mind.

**mobilebull rolled image** I like the body but i ******* hate the face, sorry op, and no i cant do it better myself

**nfwar used "*roll picture*"**
**nfwar rolled image**I cans disagree with you. After this picture was coming along just fine, I realised that her face is.. meh. Some of my friends told me "Eyes are too round and big". I was about to change her face compleatly so somehting else that I already made, but one of my friends just stop me. Blame him tbh c:
User avatar #20 to #18 - mobilebull (09/25/2015) [-]
but I still love the drawing

*raises hand awkwardly*

...Apologies. I just thought it looked charming. I liked the plant-like hair and whatnot. Feel free to fire away any obscenities my way!
User avatar #42 - rebornpotato (09/26/2015) [-]
Love the sketch and the idea of the character, only complain would be it seems the head is a bit longish.
Also as someone who is learning 3d modeling i'd love to try to make this character, with your permission of course, once i get better at organic modeling.

**nfwar rolled image**Do it! (I hope to roll Shia Labeouf)

**rebornpotato used "*roll picture*"****rebornpotato rolled image** Here is Shia for you, and that's awesome thanks! i'll have to definitely work on my abilities for that, and i will of course message you with results when i can do it.

Love your style. Should do character art commissions.
#6 to #5 - nfwar [OP](09/25/2015) [-]
I have never done any comissions, yet was thinking about it. Anxious. I need to get better.
User avatar #11 to #6 - rollmeanddie (09/25/2015) [-]
I'm broke as **** atm, but when it evens out I'd be willing to give it a shot. Your style looks like it'd be really good for World of Warcraft or Warhammer 40k characters, or maybe Pathfinder. You've got that 'high detail, but just cartoonish enough to avoid the uncanny valley' look going on.

This is freaking awesome.

people are better at drawing than i am

I visited your profile and the sun welcomed me with warm words. I had some gigles.
User avatar #70 to #68 - danmegaflakes (09/26/2015) [-]
why'd you visit my profile?
User avatar #73 to #70 - nfwar [OP](09/26/2015) [-]
To check if you have art there. Curiosity.
User avatar #74 to #73 - danmegaflakes (09/26/2015) [-]
well i just stated that i can't do art for ****

but that's ok
at least you tried
#62 - shadowbndg (09/26/2015) [-]
Honestly I was gonna make a smart combination of Halfling and Tiefling...but the two are already.

I drew this yesterday. I was messing around with the colors to try and figure out how to do proper shadows and highlights so a lot of the colors are really off.

It's an original character I've been working on for several months. He even appears in a short film I directed in, starring me as this character. Shameless self promotion there lol Trial of the Lyrebird | Teaser Trailer #1
User avatar #41 to #40 - ScottP (09/26/2015) [-]
I don't look as awesome in costume as this drawing though haha
User avatar #43 to #40 - nfwar [OP](09/26/2015) [-]
Too dark. Try to draw on a darker background so you will have to brighten him up. Shading is not easy, simple objects can be shaded with no problem, but humans with lots of cloth, ow boy. A Challange.
User avatar #75 to #43 - ScottP (09/26/2015) [-]
True. That's kinda where I became confused as to how to accentuate his outlines since I didn't have a dark background to really differentiate him from
#67 to #40 - anon (09/26/2015) [-]
For what's it worth I think the brightness is alright. It's a bit hard to see him at first (I guess that fits the character) but in 100% zoom it's easy enough to discern some details.

Champ, how would you like to draw for money? I will have to ask how much you charge for what but....please go easy on my wallet.
User avatar #14 to #13 - nfwar [OP](09/25/2015) [-]
I uh, dont know. Never done comissions, but I am planing to start at some point soon. It all depends on what I am drawing and how you want me to do it (sketchy or rendered, background complexity).
User avatar #15 to #14 - daxtercelebi (09/25/2015) [-]
Dont worry, even if its your first commission i doubt either of us will be disappointed, what can you add to the drawings and what are your limits to draw?
User avatar #17 to #15 - nfwar [OP](09/25/2015) [-]
I do not know my reach, so I surely dont know my limits. I am sure I can do more than just humanoid characters.
User avatar #19 to #17 - daxtercelebi (09/25/2015) [-]
Humanoid is what i am after, would you mind to take this conversation to a bit more private side? No point in spamming it up
User avatar #32 to #19 - titsfortots (09/25/2015) [-]
That sounded kinda sexual to me. I hope it was. If so, please send me the juicy sexting you two shared. xoxo
User avatar #36 to #32 - daxtercelebi (09/25/2015) [-]
It would blow your mind
User avatar #37 to #36 - titsfortots (09/25/2015) [-]
I was hoping it would help me blow something else, but mind works too.

Damn nice drawning. wish i could draw this well. I want to draw out my D&D characters >.>

weird non-eyebrow brows always irritate me
Not sure why but they're like a beacon of raw ugliness to me

Looking good, coult use some shading.
User avatar #65 to #64 - alyssaloca (09/26/2015) [-]
Yeah, I made it too sutle
User avatar #60 - putinlover (09/26/2015) [-]
im dumshet at drawing, but if this is a disaster, what the **** am i supposed to say?
User avatar #63 to #60 - nfwar [OP](09/26/2015) [-]
Design is good, values are a disaster. I will get it next time.
User avatar #77 to #63 - putinlover (09/26/2015) [-]
If you say so.
User avatar #53 - sptnfouroneseven (09/26/2015) [-]
Race? Looks like a Teifling/Halfling mix.
User avatar #55 to #53 - nfwar [OP](09/26/2015) [-]
Half done I realised it is like Asura and Sylvari from Guild Wars 2.
User avatar #56 to #55 - sptnfouroneseven (09/26/2015) [-]
That's uh... Halfling and tree people right? I'm not big into Guild Wars, only Know Char.
#69 to #56 - anon (09/26/2015) [-]
Wouldn't call Asura "halflings". They're little... Imp-goblins. Nerdy imp-goblins. Like so.
User avatar #57 to #56 - nfwar [OP](09/26/2015) [-]
Aye.
User avatar #58 to #57 - sptnfouroneseven (09/26/2015) [-]
Ah alright, neat. As I said reminds me of a Halfling/Teifling mix.
User avatar #51 - sirdood (09/26/2015) [-]
well, here's my two cents

Main problem here is body proportions, like a lot of people here are already saying.
Limbs in general are way too thick - it makes the character look really short. The head is really ******* huge. It's like 3 times the size it should be (on a human at least). Arms go down way too far. The fingertips shouldn't be so close to the knees, or else it gives the feeling that the character is, once again, really short. Female chest is fine, although the breasts could be a bit higher up, especially since it looks to be a tight-fitting shirt. Legs should be longer on females (although if you make them less thick like I said above, then this can be mostly ignored). The face also looks really strange, mostly because the eyes are too big and the mouth is too small.

The stuff I've said above is based on my own understanding of human anatomy though, so take it as you will. Elves (your tag) should give off a feeling of being taller than regular humans though. Unless you mean the Lucky Charms kind of elves. Otherwise, really good stuff.
#52 to #51 - nfwar [OP](09/26/2015) [-]
**nfwar used "*roll picture*"**
**nfwar rolled image**Agree, proportions are not right for human or an elf. I was aiming for more of cartoony proportions. I also forgot one tag "cartoony". I really should have done it.
User avatar #59 to #52 - sirdood (09/26/2015) [-]
Looks a bit too serious to be cartoony to me. Too much greyscale plus it's really well detailed really nice job on that by the way , which puts it straight into uncanny valley because of the proportions.
My suggestion for practicing a cartoony style is to draw it as well as possible without erasing anything. That doesn't necessarily mean quick, though. Also, avoid accentuating the neck so much with such a large head - it makes her look like a giraffe.
sorry i feel like im being super critical, but i really like what you got
#71 to #51 - anon (09/26/2015) [-]
I'm pretty sure all of that stuff about the proportions is intentional. She's not supposed to be human-sized. Much smaller than that. Also, as far as I'm aware this is also supposed to be a "cartoony" style drawing. I know the artist and he also does much more realistic art.
