Thistle's Scribbles and Stories

edit: will be opening a shiny and new commission thread soon since I can't seem to change the thread title or modify prefixes without continuously bugging Sierra :P

You're welcome to draw my Assassin (head armour) if the design appeals to you! owo

You could try my monk.

That looks really good Thistle! Yeah wish it was bigger Can't wait to see more from you.

Scanners tend to lighten things a lot, yeah. Save it larger next time though

Hmmm...my Ranger?

thanks I've added miriforest and verene, so I'm closing my call for reference shots until I get through these

Don't worry! I'll post the final versions on deviant. Right now I'm saving my little WiPs on photobucket. I need to figure out how to post thumbnails so the pic doesn't come out so ginormous on here D:

Araiia, still trying to figure out what kind of background for you D: I'm thinking a cherry blossom branch above with petals gently falling around her or Kaineng city background, but that might be too busy... or a Dolyak passed out in the background because of the staff XD

verene, what pet do you use?

I actually had to go check, I don't use pets often XD Verene has a lynx, though.

oops, I probably should have asked *what pet would you like me to draw with your ranger*, because your ranger is getting a pet in the sketch You want a lynx with her?

Yes, lynx is good

(Her old pet before that was a mountain eagle, in case that's easier for you to draw)

Thanks Tommy

I consider all of you artists because you can offer different art options and already have a sense of what you can do :P you're all growing as artists now! I'm still trying to figure what I can do I consider myself a doodler trying to grow into an artist :P These are my first attempts at char sketches, so there has been alot of erasing! I'm thinking of getting a tablet for x-mas though I want to try coloring these, but I feel like I would only have one shot to do it (which is why I'll take a 'finished' scan of the sketches before coloring) while the tablet would give me more freedom to go back and try again.

Btw, I created a new DA account so it matches my handle here and on wordpress. Now I have to go stalk all you Nolani artists and add you to my friends list (only have raven now )!

We all have started there! ^^ I got my tablet almost 1 year ago, my wintersday contest entry was the first time I used my tablet, so it will be a special Wintersday for me :3 If you do so, we are so much alike lol, I only started drawing like a few weeks before that aswell it could be precicely a year since I draw now And yeah tablets give alot more ctrl+z ability

cu on dA ^^

Quote: I've got an idea for you Verene, basically your ranger finding a baby lynx and cuddling it while your eagle looks on... ...cuuuuute <3

Also added you on dA, I'm yanachan there
