Good work, Sammi! I love the shading.

"Desperately" needs a cup of coffee, I'd say :D

Be my guest - it might as well be like that. Seriously, I don't find the "who's who" part the most important one xD

Wow, your random party guy is pretty nice :) When he grimaced hearing about heads and kidneys i thought it was Minsc, but that last comment doesn't fit him.


He's a really, really random guy. I just wanted to draw a male there, seriously. But now that I think of it I don't think his behavior actually suits any of the in-game males. Oh, dear me... xD

So yes, I just found these forums (quick, seeing that I've been lurking around for around three years (or maybe six, I'm not best with time-feel). I have one BG fanart I've made some time ago so I thought I might just as well paste it here for some criticism or whatnot. I know some imperfections already, but I've been trying the new style on it and I've noticed them only later when I could throw some fresh eye on them, if I could say that. Well :rolleyes:

Hope someone likes it :unsure:



Wow, she's great. I admire your skills in naturalistic, computer shading. I myself was never patient enough xD

Now I'll try to say something to help you improve her: the first thing that hit me (apart from the coolness) was the darkness of her face. I might be mistaken, but with all the almost-white highlights on her legs & arms you should propably try to lighten the face a little bit. Next: her hair. Hair is quite nasty to draw, and blurring it is difficult, I know. But you're really quite skilled with all of this, so I find her flame-looking hair quite unsatisfactory. Going on: her ear is far too light comparing to her face (improving the shadows on the face might change it though). The fang (is it a fang?): too light. Too long. Too... how to say, not 3-D-ish enough, if you undarstand my meaning? It looks like painted on her lip.
Her right leg seems to be too long. And I get the impression, that you cut off her feet. Don't do that! Anatomical/shadowing mistakes are easier to forget that cutting off feet. Characters need feet!

I feel guilty for pointing out so many "mistakes". I am sorry for that one - but, trust me, I wouldn't bother if I didn't like your piece. I just think it can be improved! (plus, you did ask for critisism.)
And, being an artist-wanna-be I always found the critisising comments more valuable. ^^"

Hope that helps (and does not bring your spirits down. it's a really, really good work. really)
