A re-work of one of my old paintings.

The old one is being used as the background on the fuckyeahmalazans tumblr. When I saw it again a couple of days ago, I thought, "…you suck, loser!" and decided to try the same painting again.

Leaned very heavily on the reference, especially for the face.
Not completely happy with the background, just don't know what to put there.
Just want to say that style of art is definitely not for me. Much too painstaking and fiddly for me. And colouring in between the lines.... urgh...

[Dolmen 2.0]

Dude this is incredible! seriously!

Small things you've done here that really draw attention to the "concept" of Tavore. The Background being super simple is kind of inline with the work you're meant to emulate and I think its simple in all the right ways. It Really doesn't look like your normal work so its a pretty Jarring surprise. well done on the style shift. I'm super impressed.

Agreed, very pretty work. :-D Love the hauberk, especially. I would've imagined Tavore plainer, though, this one's a bit of a proud hottie. ;-D

I agree. I like everything about the image (the pose, the attire, especially all the small details, the hair, etc.), except the face.. She's too.. pretty, I guess. She looks like someone gave her a professional make-up and styling (which is probably due to the referrence you used?). Also, she's supposed to have mouse-grey hair, so maybe you could change the hair colour? And the lips, I think different lips could give her a more Tavore-like feeling? Oh, and I assume you wanted to give her a somewhat tired/plain look, but the stuff around her eyes looks like make-up. You could make it less crassly different from her skin colour and remove some of it above the eyes and leave more towards the inner part of the face than the outer part. Same goes for the shadows beneath the eyes.

Those are details, though, and I really like the overall image. As for the background, you could try a stylized claw-pattern. Or bones.

[Corporal Nobbs]

Have to agree on everything there Puck, except for the hair colour.
Couple of quotes I stole from the wiki, but I think its mentioned elsewhere as well

Quote

...to the streaks of grey in her reddish, short-cropped hair.

Quote

...her reddish hair trimmed shorter than was the style. " -(GotM, US HC p.55, UK mmpb

I had a lot of trouble with the face and it's pretty much a portrait of the stock artist. Faestock.
I'll take another crack and see if I can get her more plain and Tavore-like.

[Corporal Nobbs]

Well, that didn't work.
Ended up just butchering it, so I'll leave it as is.

Downloaded Sculptris, (free sculpting software from same people as Z Brush) for a little muck about.

Why have I not discovered this software before? Can't wait to play around with it.
Nice work on the Jaghut!

If I did that, you'd see all the mess. Plus there's not much more to see in a higher res anyway.

Here's something else. Lilac's (demon Trull befriends in MT(?)) home realm.

[Corporal Nobbs]

Couple of quotes stolen from wikis

Quote

Lilac was a Kenryll'ah demon who was saved by Trull during the Edur invasion of Lether. It had small blue eyes and massive hands and for all its size, moved quietly. It wielded a double-bladed axe.

In its homeworld, Lilac was a caster of nets, or fisher and had a mate and children.

Quote

A demonic race residing in Aral Gamelon. The Kenryll'ah are the common class ruled by the race's aristocrats, the Kenyll'rah. The race is known to war with the seafaring Korvalahrai.

During the Tiste Edur invasion of the Letheri Empire, the Edur summoned and enslaved numerous Kenryll'ah as warriors. The Edur later formally allied with the Kenyll'rah, who sent two princes to fight for the Edur. In return, Rhulad Sengar diverted waters from Aral Gamelon into the Nascent, destroying Korvalahrai naval forces.
