Description This is my entry for the Fantasy Earth Zero contest, and if you can't tell I went with the Sorcerer idea.

I love the idea of spell casting, but I hate that 98% of mages all have staves and ROBES. Agh. So I went with a bit of a different look.

She has two ritual daggers on her thighs, light equipment so she can move easily and be free to wave her arms around without catching her sleeves on fire!
I hope you like!

Edit: 6/9/2010

I came back and added some more work to this, not a lot, just some touch ups on the water, the background, a bit of the lighting. I changed the reflections a bit so there isn't that illusion of a vertical line anymore.

Thank you so much, I put a lot of work into this one! :C Didn't make it into the final 25 for the contest, but it was still a great learning experience and I'm trying to put more work into backgrounds and environments after this piece.

You're very welcome. I can tell! Your hard work shows through this. Aw, really? I don't see how you didn't make it, but yeah that's always good. Heh I always like never add backgrounds, so kudos to you for making them!

P.S. I added you to my friend's list on GW, haven't seen you online lately. -Just wondering, so that we could talk about farming etc.

amazing I realy love this infact I was going to eneter this contest but i haven't got a clue when it come sto manga and anime so I don't think I will be entering

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

JNetRocks In reply to HazBoy999 [2010-06-06 22:58:52 +0000 UTC]

Bah, I don't think you should do manga/anime if you don't want to. I had the same doubt at first but then I figure... if they like your work they should like it for your style and unique way of looking at things, not for just doing it their way. Otherwise, why have a contest, you know?

You should definitely enter if you have a concept in mind! It's a great opportunity to stretch your creative muscles and who knows, you may have that unique view that just shocks and amazes everyone!

JNetRocks In reply to Twilight-Killer [2010-06-05 03:10:40 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Claws on a sorcerer huh? I guess that would suit like a druidic or shape shifter type of spell caster. There are so many types it's hard to classify just as "sorcerer" hehe.

Thank you for the comment.

Thank you so much! I think we generally tend to be proudest of our newest works and there are still some things I want to polish before the deadline, but overall I think this is one of my best pieces as far as composition goes.

The whole scene and texture of this work with the colours work nicely together. Original character without employing a gimmick (like a tail or demon horns).

JNetRocks In reply to FastTadpole [2010-05-29 23:21:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. I don't mind horns and tails, when appropriate, but I didn't think she needed anything like that. Thank you for the comment!
