So, I've been working on a piece for the past several nights now. Naris has a character portrait, but it's just a headshot. In terms of roleplaying, I didn't know what she actually looked like. Some Googling showed me that the full version of her character portrait is this (rightmost image):![]() While it's a good reference for Naris anatomically, she isn't a Rogue and would never dress that way. Moar Googling brought me to this, the apparent staple image for Dragonborn Sorcerers: ![]() A good picture and more fitting, but far uglier if you ask me. X3 So, given this, I took it upon myself to draw Naris myself so I would really know what she looked like. It took several days of gratuitous tracing (you try drawing a Dragonborn), scrutinizing the above pictures as references, and looots of shading, but I finally came up with this: ![]() I even found the image below, which is a legitimate picture of Shivli, so that's all quite accurate. ![]() So, what do you think? I plan on coloring this as well. Edited by Naris, Mar 1 2012, 05:18 AM.

Updated to add Naris's Beryl of Catastrophe Avoidance. I know it might just seem like I'm posting for the sake of posting, but I'm really just posting for feedback. I don't expect everyone to use Facebook, and I'd want to encourage use of the forums anyway. ![]()

Actually seeing the whole process you went through and all the references you put together to make that final product is really cool. Like I am now just realizing how much you must've went through to make that shizz! Now I'm feeling motivated to try and sketch Marbles, at least in graphite. I can't color worth a damn.... a wormadam

OH U. X3 I would definitely recommend it-drawing Naris may or may not have improved my artistic ability, but it definitely fueled my imagination. I see her more clearly, and as a result my roleplaying is more fluid, more natural. She seems more real to me now, so I can better approximate her movements. |

I really liked how you incorporated your new gear too. It's makes her feel so current and "changing" in a sense. In one pic she has just the staff, then she has that new tiara. She's evolving, like a digimon. It's cool :3 I love all of our little characters and their developments as individuals. Makes me wanna start up on writing maybe a few one-shot fanfics with them. |

Lol! For the time being, I'll see if I can make a Thread for Fanfics under the general RP section, I suppose? |

See, I wanna do something like that for vaDanti... but I'm lazy. Like, I have what she looks like, in my head and all that good stuff, but putting that outside of my head is gonna be a problem... |

I would recommend you just follow what I did-chances are, if you do a little Googling, you can find a full art version if VaDanti's headshot and go from there. |
