My Alter Ego and long time Avatar

I'm no good with color. I do not know how to create these drawings on the computer (which most I have seen of others are just AMAZING!). I have a pencil and some paper and am happy to of been inspired after so many long years of not picking up either. Again, thank you Neverwinter team for everything!

This was my first pnp character and my first avatar in my first game in 2k, Everquest and has followed me to every game since. Here she is, recreated for our next adventure, Neverwinter! Hope to see you there!

Her Character info will be up in the database as soon as I finish it.
Thanks!

    Nicely done. I can tell you need a lot of patience and love for a piture with such detail.

    My only doubt is the spiked ball in the holly symbol. If it was me i would end with a lot of bruises! :P

    cheers!

    I also love all the detail on her armor! Her pose has so much personality and charm. :)

    It's wonderful to have a character to bring with you from game to game, its like having an old friend.

    I agree, its so much fun seeing all of the different and original bits of fan art popping up on the forum. So much fun.

    Thanks unah1! I swear when I started it her arm was resting on her knee and the spike ball showed more _in motion_ lines. Maybe you can give me some pointers on colour someday since I am so afraid of it. I plan on doing more characters as I have some ideas for dark elves and half elves rumbling around.

    My very first attempt at color on a computer! I used some old version of Photoshop (no clue which), my mouse and my imagination! A special thanks goes out to the Neverwinter community http://neverwinterartists.deviantart.com/ for the inspiration, to my hubby for support and to Swave18 http://swave18.deviantart.com/ for his VERY helpful Youtube tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-n9jcOrnhI&list=WL1179A09FDF61891C on how to color my own pictures using Photoshop!

    *blush* Oh my, thank you all for the kind words and support! I will keep it up! Even though it took awhile to complete, I'm sure it can only get better from here if I keep at it.
    Thank you again!

    Here is a drawing of my husband's drow great weapons fighter Janes (YanUs) that I inked. I plan on coloring it too if the Drow skin does not drive me crazy. Enjoy!:cool:

    Your pictures come out great in color. Do you have Neverwinter characters online who represent these heroes?
