So I decided to close down my deviant art account years ago, but this seems to be an art appreciating community, so I figured I'd upload at least some of my musings, particularly CD inspired work, or other D&D related stuff.
I'm totally open to honest critiques, but keep in mind, I sketch like a few times a month when I get some time between. Work, school, or personal computer programming projects. Suggestions like 'try this expensive art tool', or 'practice more' aren't bad, but I don't have the time or money to act on them right now
Left: random lady dancing, right: Thira Ravenplume my ranger/weaponmaster char. I'll probably finish her in color pencil.

Another sketch I did partially last week and finished (as much as anything I do these days is finished)
I kind of ended up with a 'medieval tapestry painting' style for this. I'm really bad at combat pespective!

Going to try a lineart version for illustration. Never done color before but I've been watching a few tutorials, and seeing some of the color work of my fellow players here makes me want to give it a shot.

Image isn't showing up for me.
Looks like you're using Dropbox. You'll need to move the image into your Public folder, and from there copy the public link and use that to link images to forums.

Nope. Copying the URL directly takes me to a 403 page.
Public URLs are shorter, like so: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28518364/Aida.jpg
To get them you have to move the image into your Dropbox > Public folder, then right-click and choose "Get Public URL", then use that to link the image.

Yeah I don't know why Dropbox stopped having a Public folder, it was a default arrangement when I signed up for them and seems to have been changed away since.
Imgur works for linking to other sites, which is why I'd recommend it over Google Drive. GD's better for storing things but not necessarily for sharing/cross-posting.

All that said... LOVE the picture! Definitely looking forward to seeing more of it when it's done =D

I love the pose dynamics of the picture and the armor designs. It has some great dimensions and does not look flat at all. I am jealous how much you rock at hands.

Thank you! What I've found as far as hands go, is that I rarely actually notice where individual fingers go unless there really spread out, so you can often blend fingers together and let the viewer sort it out in perception. I also hide them :-D

I love it. It reminds me of an adventuring troop / class photo where everyone would have a copy and would reminiscence about the good ole days - before someone took an arrow to the knee.

Wow, that is a challenging angle to attempt. It looks like there is a story here and I definitely wonder her situation. Really like the straps and the attention to detail in her attire.

Quick update. I've been playing a lot of Xcom: Enemy Within lately, and I think I'm developing PTSD from watching all my Xcom soldiers die ;_; Seriously, who came up with the goddamn Chrysalids?!

You're playing the Long War or vanilla XCOM?
Also, Tar-21 rifle lookalike is appreciated!

I'm playing vanilla Xcom because the long war is absolutely unfair in every possible way 
Also, yes the rifle is based on the IWI Tavor or TAR-21. Admittedly I want one sooooo bad...

You can make it fair, the release version is quite adjustable, and makes the game much more thrilling.
You are not the only one who wants it! Semi auto versions are rare in the US and almost impossible to find in Europe though.

Neat, shame that getting any Kel-Tec firearm in Europe is virtually impossible.
I am currently looking for AUG-Z, as I am quitely familiar with select-fire variant. It's a neat rifle, only drawback are its mag. I wonder why they haven't made STANAG feeded version for so many years.

I recently purchased a surface pro 2, and have been empowered by WACOM technology! the following are all drawn digitally using OneNote and some editing via Krita.
