Guild Wars Papercraft Available


ArenaNet is releasing a set of Guild Wars papercraft. I made these patterns for fun a little while ago. I'm excited to see if anyone posts ones they have put together.

New patterns will be released over the next few weeks. Check them out here: http://www.guildwars.com/community/projects/wintersday_papercrafts/

Dragon Hunters skin and wash WIP


I'm focusing on the foreground and forgetting about everything else for a while. Worked on the human skin tones a bit, tightened a few details as well. I'm not able to get the paint to go lighter the way I'd like, so ended up doing a dark brown wash over parts of the dragon knight to push the depth. I've been doing very short bursts on this image, maybe 30 min to an hour each time. Most of that is humming and hawing over what to do next. Still a long way to go.

One thing I didn't do for myself was to put together photo reference. If I had some nice photos of lighting and materials I might not be struggling as much.

Dragon Hunters WIP values









Added a white wash over the background to decrease the contrast. I think I went a little overboard with the highlights on the foreground. I'll knock some things back and re pick out my brights later. I'm in a limbo area where I'm really starting to dislike this image, but that is coming from fighting with it and looking too closely for too long. Just have to push past this phase and keep trying.
