I'll have to take a look at his gallery.
As for Ranzab's stuff, while it's terrific art, it's a little too 'sketchy' for my taste. And by that, I mean the lines are defined enough and they're a little blurry (making coloring difficult, at least for an amateur like me).
In the meantime, I managed to color two of the images I commissioned from Arania this month! Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner, so Iphone pics are the best I can offer.
In the second pic, I attempted to blend colors for the first time (for the transition between flesh and dragonhide). At first, I was a little disappointed, but after a little more practice, the effect started to look a little better.
Also, I discovered a little too late that the special marker paper I bought works a little too well; when I printed the image onto one of these pages, the ink didn't absorb too well, and this allowed it to smudge when brushed by a marker. Fortunately, I think it actually added to the image a bit, since it gives Kore the appearance that her skin is dirty. Given that she's just finished fighting a dragon in a smoke-filled cavern, I think it worked out...this time, at least.
Anyway, here's why I'm asking for B&W art!
