Back again!
Okay, here's the first sketch for a request by Xanamiar. See what you think.

It's good to see you back. Looking good. Your artwork is always awesome. Look forward to seeing Xamaniar request completed.

-LC :-D

Xanamiar

She does look AWESOME... But as I said in the thread.. her hair would be straight.. it's the only flaw I see in it for the character... but she is very sweet looking... I look forward to seeing her done too...

Mercy

Bugger.
I'll post what I've done in colour anyway and start again. I may even finish this one some time.
Sorry about the hair, I thought 'bangs' were curls - I'm so not a girly-girl... Rather than try and salvage it I might just draw up another one and see what happens.
Stay tuned!

Lord Crumb

She looks great and there is a certain deadly cuteness to her. I haven't read Xanamiar's request but what is the circular device she is holding. It reminds me of "Xena: Warrior Princess".

-LC :-)

Look out for the coffee beans. Ha Ha Ha

Xanamiar

Wow.. she does look awesome...

It's a Light Ring Lord Crumb... kinda like the Xena thing :) ...

Xanamiar

I reread my thread, and where as I meant to put in that her hair is straight, I guess I left that part out. Sorry for the mix up.

Mercy

Sweet as. I've tried drawing her up again a few times but I'm not really happy with the results so I'm gonna have a go at doing her hair again on the original. I'll post what I've got when I'm a bit further along.
Sorry it's taking so long...

Xanamiar

Not a problem at all Mercy... TAke as much time as you need to, till you are happy with her :)

Lord Crumb

Mercy, My wife and I both like the one with curls but its Xanamiar's request. So, its' what he wants. Looking great though. Love the detail work on the face.

-LC :-)

Xanamiar

I love it .. I love it .. I love it.. I love it...

I like the curls as well.. but my character has straight hair LC :) ... But I LOVE the new one... AWESOME Mercy...

Mercy

Yeah, I like the curls too but them's the brakes, eh?
I'm having a bit of a quick play with another sketch at the moment, which I'll post when I'm done with it. Otherwise, I'll add it to the gallery.
Glad you like it Xanamiar!

Mercy

Um, I got carried away and got it finished in, like, a couple of hours.
So, see what you think and I'll just post the both of them to gallery if you like them.

Yeah. Tunnel vision is a strange phenomenon sometimes...

Lord Crumb

Xanamiar, I knew you wanted her to have straight hair. I'm sorry if I didn't make my post clearer on that but Mercy you have done an awesome job on this one. Thumbs up mate.

-LC :-)

Xanamiar

One more thing Mercy... you forgot to sign the second colored one, the one with straight hair... Please do sign it :)

And LC.. I took nothing negative from your post.. was just agreeing with you that the curly haired one is sweet :)

Lord Crumb

Gotcha! :-)
Mercy's artwork is amazing and the woman in question has that look like she can be cruel yet sweet at the same time. It would be hard to resist torture from her. Ha Ha.

-LC :-)

Xanamiar

LOL... well.. the way her story is going... she won't be torturing anyone, no point... might as well just kill them :) ..

But you are right...she has that look... A woman who you wouldn't mind meeting in a dark alley, until it was too late.

Mercy

Neat! I'm so glad she's become a talking point, at least. And I'm glad you all like her. Don't worry - I've done a signed version of the one with the blue background. That's the one I'll be adding to gallery.
Which I will do now...

Mercy

Okay! Here's the first sketch for the light character, Crystal Roshia, who later turns to the dark side and becomes Alexis Kiara.

I'm not sure this is the one I want to go with in the long run. She kinda looks like a hippie. I'll work on it...

Xanamiar

hehe... I agree... she does look like a hippie... She's a bit more of a serious Jedi. And thank you Mercy for doing this for me :)

Xanamiar

Yes, it is a lot more like her... I like it Mercy... Her saber hilt is twice the length though, if you don't mind :) It is a single bladed saber though... Thank You

Mercy

Yeah, I ran out of paper - that's the only reason the saber hilt isn't longer...

I'll colour it up and post again in a bit.
Glad you like it!

Mercy

Hey guys.
1st colour pic up. Real basic so far, I just wanted to get the thumbs up on the colours used, and that the saber hilt was the right size. I've used the one you sent me, Xanamiar, I'll only alter it slightly so it's in keeping with the rest of the picture.
Sweet?

Xanamiar

Very SWEET... love the saber.. And I'm fine with your coloring... I told you the outfit was all up to you :)

Go for it :)

Mercy

Right!
I've uploaded the one with shading, and also the completed one with the mist and the signature. I wanted to load the first one up for you in case you thought we lost too much of the detail in the second one...
Thoughts?

Xanamiar

Like the one with the shading... LOVE the one with the mist...

Very nice... Thank you very much Mercy.
