"Ariana Mac Dougal (Paladin To Pelor)" by James Milligan

Not so pitiful as all that. I think the grass turned out rather well. Great pose, and wonderful work on the costume. The shading we discussed worked out quite nicely She's cute, too.

As I've said before, I do try.

As a fellow 'scenery-challenged' artist, I have to defend yer stuff. It's reminiscent of a Warhammer figurine on a well-done base...

Really? :looks: Are you sure? :looks again: Hrm.. If you say so...

Like I said in the mail a week ago, it looks much better with the extra shading and softening of the clothes. And about your little project: I'm experimenting with how to compose manga pages now. I sent it to you already. If you can't read it (you probably can't due to its size) I'll mail you a bigger one.

I got it just fine, Damon. Looked good. Thanks!

Finally. An update. ^-^ Wery cute girl. She sounds like a cool person. ^-^ I adore her hair and really like her clothes. Especially the parts around her shoulders. Wow. The way she stands with her legs is simply great. I wanna be able to make poses like that.

Copious amounts of pose files help, honestly.

Such a rarity: a paladin who lives up to the name and the ideal, rather than just being a smiter of all things evil.
She looks great too and she is cute in a paladinly sorta way. The clothes are fantastic, especially the scrollwork around the sleeves; and is that a symbol of Pelor on the end of her belt? Nice touch
PS: It's a very nice rock, be proud of it.

Thanks, Stuart. I am proud of the rock, in a strange sort of way... And yes, that is a symbol of Pelor on the end of her belt.

Hey James!!! Long time no see! Oh, right, the drawing . She's groovy, I like the smirky kinda expression on her face, and the way her tunic is kinda falling off of one shoulder, as if it's too big. Oh, and as always, I love the boots (and I know where I can get ones exactly like them this time!). As far as scenery is concerned, you have every right to be proud of the rock. It's a very nice rock. Better than anything I've done. I'm sorry but there's just one thing I have to pick on... Her right leg (the one that's straight) looks kinda weird, almost like she's one of those bendy rubber people, that you can never get their limbs quite straight. But other than that, she rocks! Fabulous job as always. *peace*

Hey, Carrie! Thanks for the heads up on the leg; I'll take a closer look at the original and see if it's fixable... Glad you like the costume! =)

Love this and all youre pics, youre so lucky to be able to draw, I'd give anything to be able to draw my AD&D 3E char.(ok, so I just started work on her last night, but I know exactly what she looks like in my mind lol) Any way, wonderful drawing!

James Milligan replies: "Thank you! :blushes a lot:"

Nice rock! I'm serious... that is an awesome rock... as someone who sucks at rocks... (Hmmm, that sounds wrong) I should know. I love her expression... and yes, her boots. Cortez wasn't working out? Well duh, he sends way too much time wooing the ladies to work out, and besides such a wonderful lover doesn't need to go to the gym. May I send a few more moments at the temple of awesome boots, I won't make much noise just quietly drool in the corner here.

James Milligan replies: "He wasn't working out in the System sense of the term, sadly. RP wise he was great, it was just that the rules were a hindrance to him."

wow....I wish I could draw like that. It totally rocks. ^^ I love the boots (like most people. I want a pair) And the face and the hair and the clothes. And the rock, I cant forget that. This is amazing......*trails off babbling about how great the drawing is*

James Milligan replies: "Thank you, Erika. I'm very proud of the boots, myself. Now, if only I could get the pencil and the paper to communicate with each other, these days. *sigh*"

aww i'm even worse at scenery lol (waa) ;P
