i still haven't started mine. I've done a bunch of sketches to work out the composition though, but no actual painting yet. Not for another week probably, i'm working a lot lately

[Optimus Prime]

I agree:D

[lokiman]

These are both awesome paintings!
In the first one you can see Lady Envy's control over her seguleh, very well done.
In the second one the Seguleh look really really cool, you can almost feel there strength, also very well done! Although I always pictured them in my mind as having smooth masks.

hehe, yeah, we have very different emphasis in our pictures, which is really cool and kinda the point of this little painting-get-together:D

[Merlkir]

smooth masks are how i picture them too. I swear i remember them being described that way in the books, but i can't find any actual quote. I may have imagined it.

'Senu's enamelled face-covering was crowded with dark-stained patterns, such decoration diminished successively in the other two examples. One was only slightly less marked than Senu's, but the third mask bore naught but twin slashes, one on each gleaming white cheek. The eyes that stared out from the slits of this mask were like chips of obsidian'

Doesn't explain if the mask is smooth or not.

well actually

[Aptorian]

Yeah but that doesn't mean the mask can't have an irregular shape. It just means the surface of the mask isn't sandpaper and the marks aren't carved into the surface.
