Recently I've been making requests for the folks here in SHS, and I decided to put them on display as well. I guess this thread is for my "non-portrait and non-Oblivion and non-Fanart Challenge and non-Fanart100" stuff.

A Red Wizard for Dark-Mage!

A gold elf noble warrior for cmorgan!

A gold elf rogue for Sir Kalthorine!

A creepy cleric for Tempest!

This thief I made for myself.

And this is a swashbuckler that I'm trying to develop.

This one I actually made in April already, but I rather like it, so I'll throw it in as well.

Definitely awesome!

Especially like the creepy cleric and the thief, i think their faces are the smoothest...

And the last one, the colors are great... And detail and shape too of course, wonderful hair, yes. :coolthumb:

Ehh, so how'd you do that lightning there? I'm not so good at coloring lightning so of course i'm curious... :wub:

All so pretty. I've never seen that last one, but she reminds me of that Dark Sorceress(or something like that) from your gallery. I almost made a character just to use that picture...

And these ones are just as good!

Thee! Thanks you so much for the kind words. Oh, almost forgot. I had to find some tutorials on the lightning - let me see if I can find it for you. Yep, this one atleast uses the technique I used in this one.

Here's one more, a druid for Kellen.

And that druid of mine is so perfect!

I'm starting to cool down a little so I won't make a scene here too, Ilmater.

Gorgeous! I think the rogue and the thief are my favourites.

I'm getting such a Vetinari vibe from the cleric :lol:

I absolutely love your concepts. They're full of life and really jump off the page. I feel like I could spout a whole load of backstory for any of them just by looking at their pictures.

Thank you so much Rumple! You know, you're not the first one to say the cleric resembles Vetinari... :lol:

It wasn't my intention, though.

This I made for Bluenose. She's half aquatic elf, and I was supposed to "think of coral reefs" when coloring the outfit.

EDIT: Hmm, the quality of the picture sucks. I'll fix it when I get home.

Your art is so very beautiful Ilmatar. I truly wonder from where do you get all the patience to color like that :Bow:

..the last one from the first post is IMO the most beautiful of all your works... Just: wow. Maybe not the best from the technical point of view, but it is so.. spirited. You can feel the climate, you really can.

Hawt!

Actually, that kinda reminds of the lead vocalist from epica, Simone something, kinda like her looks too.

I mean, there's a certain similarity aside the red hair color too, really. :ph34r:

Had to google up Epica - never even heard of the band, nor seen the vocalist! You might be right though. Thanks for the comment!

Humm, I have a *big* commission project here (believe me, the folks here in SHS will get their share of it too), but if it's nothing too big and complicated, I could do it.

What do you have in mind?

This girl has me all addicted on drawing her. Omg tattoos and piercings and laced boots. A seriously quick one, this. Threw some patterns on the background - they don't look too good though.

Er...oops! What I meant to say was that I think your art is absolutely awesome Ilmatar - you have a a real knack for bringing a character concept to life. :Bow:

Just try to talk her into a swimsuit picture and go for blackguard, Sir K.

Though that picture might give certain members of the party minor cardiac incidents (specifically thinking Tanek here

).
