Very neat sketch!   You do a great job with these.

[Tommy's]

Thanks Overlord

Quick environment painting.

[Tommy's]

Another landscape, inspired by Thomas Scholes. Initially I wanted to put Daniel Frozenwind in there, but he just looked like a misshaped human, so he had to leave the scene again. Sorry!

[Doctor Overlord]

Lovely landscape pieces!  Out of curiosity, do you have a background on Daniel Frozenwind?   Are these pics part of a story with him?

Daniel is a character who started in Guild Wars, and gotten more renown over the Wintersday editions. I don't know much about the character myself I must say, but the painting above started out as a wintery setting. Which he undoubtfully fits

I know you said Charr probably won't make it any sketches, but would you be willing to try? I have a pretty strange looking Charr that might be interesting to draw.

Just gonna leave that there if you wanna try.

You sure have an interesting Charr. Who knows



Here is a quick explorational sketch for a setting I got in mind for Aiyana Kes, the sylvari posted by Invertation on page 3. Not really happy with the colors yet, it needs more warm colors.

[Tommy's]

Some more progress. I'm happy with the composition and the colors now. Time for the hard part. Details...

[Tommy's]

Probably as finished as it ever will be. The whole composition and palet started to bore me, wasn't going anywhere.

[Invertation]

It's the concept we like anyways.

[Vixelocapra]

:'D My character is so neat here. Your art is so amazing!!

[Zav]

Love your landscapes

[Tommy's]

Ah, so it was yours Vixelocapra Glad you like it.

Thanks! Glad to see you around again, done any cool animations lately?

[Tommy's]

Another landscape practice, didn't want to go into detail, more time for setting moods.

[Silverbleed]

You make exactly what I wish to do someday. Absolutely stunning. Your environmental pieces are my favorite. They look unique and... your last one is truly amazing. ~ Teach me o-o

The sentiment is much appreciated Tommy!

Don't give up on him, I have a very special event coming up that is going to change the face of Guild Wars 2 / Guru and I would LOVE to use any art even the slightest bit related to him, even to the point of that landscape if you would allow it.

I love what you do and everyone here does.

One is in progress

About your last landscape, for example, how many brushes? I tried this speed way of drawing, but I always wonder if I need this particular brush for building, this other one for water, etc.

I'd be glad to help out if you ever need advice on things. Just send me a pm

Breathe Daniel, breathe goddammit! Stay with me, I'm not giving up on you!

Can't wait to see it.
As regarding the brushes, think I used about 5 in this one. Almost everything is painted with 2 types of brushes, to lay down the base. Then I went on splattering texture on it with 3 other brushes, just creating some dirt and randomness. Then back to the 2 brushes, continue working on it, painting over the texture so it becomes a bit more random and you don't recognize the brushes in there
I'm making a selection of my brushes soon for someone, I'll hit you with the link as well.

[Silverbleed]

I totally will send you a PM in a bit o 3o
Funny tho, to see you're Dutch! (saw on your DA, and your last name was pretty obvious). I'm a Dutchie myself x3

[Doctor Overlord]

Really wonderful new pics Tommy!   I like the traveler one, it reminds me of a current version of Nicholas

[Tommy's]

Thanks Overlord


Another random thing, doodling around with colors.

[Silverbleed]

I'm really loving the colors you picked.

I'm going to stay with my opinion that I should not be drawing Charr.
Anywhoooo, here is my attempt.

OH MY GOD IT'S BEAUTIFUL. Thank you very much, this is gonna be my new desktop background. And I really love the 2 scary charr in the background, very very nice.

Aren't charr annoying?     They have such weird proportions, part feline, part bull, part dinosaur.   That is a neat pic, I like the others lurking in the background.

Here is a work featuring Daniel Frozenwind



I quite like the colors, think it can be a lot stronger if I add some more details and give him a stronger pose. So perhaps I'll come back to it.

[Zav]

Love the atmosphere
