Hello I'm new obviously and just wa ...

Hello I'm new obviously and just wanted to share some of my PS like drawings..

The first one is a tiefling/Succubus type chick, lol some people have said she would also fit for a vamp.

The next one is my personal character Ravnos.. He's a tiefling.

I have lots more some I've submitted to the site and others are in my art galleries. A link to one of em..

I like these, I also noticed some of your work on the artists alley. What mediums do you use for your artwork, because i really like it.

Laughing out loud Thank you I really appreciate the comment.
Most of them were done with pencil then finished in either Painter Pro or Open Canvas, using the airbrush and blender tools. The guy in the post above was done with my trial version of Photoshop (omg that is a hard one to work with) but he was done with traditional soft airbrush, blending tools, and then I used the Posterize filter to give him a kinda comic book look.
It's a process but I rather like blending and coloring, it makes things like muscle lines subtle.

I've got a few more
Now this first one is a halfbreed and not my own character, but he's rather a comission work that I am doing for a friend.
Not finished, I'm in this drawing slump and have lost all inspiration for drawing armor.

And this one is half of a cover to my story. It's Ravnos again, hehe can't you tell I love spiky armor. Cool

Laughing out loud Thanks Toujin.

He's my pretty boy tiefling with an attitude, well not as bad as his first son Ixian's but close enough. Lol but Ravvie's got himself an ego that's for sure. Laughing out loud

I've finished a few more and forgot to post them up..

that's Ixian. He's the one with the temper problem.

Here's Ravnos again (I admit my obsession) this is actually the first complete drawing of him I've ever done. He has gotten a bit beefier since this was done but it's him alright. And this one shows best how his eyes glow off of shadow.

Great characters, I like the comic style (Which I greatly prefer above manga). The drawings are nice but I noticed with most of the brushed pictures (like the Balor) that they have soft outlines. Erasing the soft edges or using a darker brush to create some kind of sideshadow outline could make the pictures more finished.
It looks like you're planning to make some sort of a comic about Ravnos, I'm very interested in the results, don't hesitate to share it with us Cool

Thanks for the comment crapcore! And for the help, I've only been coloring for a few months so it really helps when someone gives me some tips to improve.
Laughing out loud

Yep that's what I'm hoping for, right now it's all in story form so I guess it's getting on track. Lol I've got so many different parts of his story in my mind at one time and only two hands to type them out with. I'll surely post what I gather together for everyone.

Thanks again for the help, I really appreciate that. Laughing out loud
