Stareyes's picture of Tranquil's Jade and Glory
" Departure"
" I was particularly moved by the attack on Jade's home by orcs in Tranquil's manga. Awesome fights and decent writing. Jade, a young adult seedling (plant person), lost both her mother and possibly her fiance and was left with her half-sister Glory (part dragon -- explains the wings) and Glory's pet Chee the fire-squirrel (which wasn't in this picture because I can't draw animals walking.) So, I drew Jade and Glory walking away from the remains of their old life.This is the first nighttime picture where I didn't use overlays to darken the characters." Stareyes's website

Zahn's picture of Sonia's Cerulean
"Fianlly here! I hope you like this picture, Sonia, I have tried a few new ligthing techniques, such as the blue glow form the thingy ont he characters face. Having only a B&W pic to work with sure lends you some creativity, and I decided that his outfit looked akin to a Roman type warriors, so I did it in red and silver primarily." Zahn's website

Bunny H's picture of Tozuku's Tozuku
" Sweet meat on a Saturday I'm early!"
" Most of the descript is on the dev art page. Lately i've been doin' a lot of stuff with Poser (it's not as depressing as just plain drawing...and I need to practice with 3d anyway) and decided to render up Tozuku. It was meantioned that she is more than she seems so I made it kind of trippy like she's sitting on a light table and did some heavy lighting. Don't you just love those freakish eyes? They're blue like she's supposed to be...but with something.....off. Hope you like" Bunny H's website

Lani Matsen's picture of Meg's Jupiter and Ulanda
"Best Friends"
"Alright, so I snuck in TWO characters for this round. I just couldn\'t NOT put them together...the illustration simply begged to be drawn. I must admit though, that drawing horses is always a good thing by me. The very first thing I learned to draw well were horses. ^_^ It\'s sort of like coming home when I draw one again. ...I really ought to draw them more often. " Lani Matsen's website

L-MJ must make a picture for Eliza
