Longtime didn't used my pens... sloppy argh... try to ignore the mistakes and errors and just enjoy!

It's inked and all so pointing errors will make me cry but please do so, point out the things I should watch for in my future drawings. Be nice. or not..

Anyways this is an old concept that I reworked, I'll try to find some old pics of it to compare. Including the color wip kimchi did! I'd love to see her highpoly and animated like the characs in that WoW trailer... haha

Unchanged and fiddled version enclosed. Tell me which u prefer, the texture I made from scratch doesn't give me a gud vibe.

Cheers

Looks good but why is this supposed to be an inquisitor?

Good question. I had a whole thing written up for this back then and nobody usually questions my concept or its background or bother reading the large ammounts of text I put.

Belonging to the highest cast among blood elves, the inquisitors are a secretive task force working in the shadows of the blood elf society. Their duty is to interrogate criminals and war prisoners thoroughly and extract all useful information out of them before disposing of them. They’re also used for unearthing treacherous conspiracies among blood elves and eliminating moles or traitors. Inquisitors are never deployed in battle but are very proficient at killing or capturing single targets. They wield an intriguing two-piece weapon called Justice and Truth composed of a mace-like part (Truth) and a scythe (Justice). Their mace component possesses a magical orb infused with demonic magic that exposes the subject’s darkest thoughts and all the content of his soul and mind. The inquisitor can then freely navigate through her target’s memory. The scythe is then used to give the target its proper judgement.

Inquisitors are trained in secrecy and are selected from only a few privileged noble families thus making them rather haughty and overconfident persons. Their comfortable social and monetary status gives them all the time to ponder on their immortal existence and reflect on existential questions amongst themselves when not needed for a task. They often wander the land studying the mortal races’ behaviour in the hopes to find a greater truth that will answer their questions.




Btw the pic here is the first version of the inquisitor a long time ago which Kimchi started coloring but abandoned... :S lol.

I like the newer one much more, especially the head reaks of progress.

So... about the thing with the lace...

Bloodelves are too angsty about their addiction to magic and revenge over the sunwell to be wearing so much lace & frilly shit.

Seriously though... this version looks like she woke up and forgot to take off her saucy sleepwear before putting on her armor.

The clash between the frills/lace and the sharp lines of the armor makes me a sad panda.

Very nice work, maybe one of your bests to date.

The thighs seem to long, and its a bit to anime-ish, but really well done none the less.

I'm with icbm, the lace really doesn't work, blood elves in lace is bad enough, but armored blood elves in lace is just silly.

Drawing itself is very nice however, and the colouring is going in the right direction. I've never been a huge fan of the anime style, but this is a better example of it.

The lace is what makes it so awesome. Bloodelves are the perfect cocky emo fuckers to wear lace, they can handle it.

First lay down the base colors of the entire picture Candie, and then start shading, highlighting, and some color variation in reflections and crap like that. But make sure you work on the whole picture at the same time, and not onhe bit at a time like you did now. (detail the face before even giving some base color to most of the image)
