Description

Gannayev aka Gann-of-Dreams, the awesome hagspawn, Dreamwalker, Spirit Shaman, etc. etc. from NWN2: MotB. ^^ I must say I'm utterly fascinated by the Spirit Shaman class - what's cooler than a horde of spirits at your side who make you semi-ethereal, resistant to damage and spells and even allow you to resurrect people every now and then? :D
I had to get the fandom craziness out of my system SOMEHOW. ^^

I have to say I'm insanely proud of this - it's the type of picture I zoom out and look at and say 'Bwuh! I did this?'. 'Cause I honestly have no idea how I managed to keep that level of detail consistent throughout the process.... X_X And as much as I enjoyed every brushstroke - even the furs - it'll be a long, long time before I paint anything as detailed as this again. O.O It may have been enjoyable, but I like my still functional eyes the way they are, thank you very much. O.O

I'm hoping this made up for the months of deadness. ^^ I wish you all fun celebrating the New Year! :D
And now, I shall elegantly scamper off to abduct a textile craftsman who could be 'persuaded' to create an outfit like that. ^^

I can see youve put a lot of effort into this, there are a few issues which i will try to fix however.

i feel the left hand is too, boxey? has no real definition of shape, and the wrist/hand looks a little twisted. the arm needs more definition too. The other hand looks okay, but there is something thats off, you know? The wolf and the grey that comes off it looks very amateur in comparison to the drawing itself and feel next time you should work harder on the image as a whole, not just the realism and shadows. That said i like the clothing, i would of liked to see more features, more randomness in the cloth teaxture to get that feeling that the fur was hunted, instead of bought, with thinner fur and thicker, obvious colour differences, i like the shoulder though, i think that and the little shammy staff is pretty neat. The hair looks nice too, though, i like the fuzziness of the hair because it looks like theres static in the hair, which i think is a neat addition.

over all its a nice image (: dont be disheartened, sometimes it seems negative, but honestly i like it, and want you to grow as an artist to keep drawing these kinda things.

Good luck!
