(Above) The full piece.
I've been incredibly, INCREDIBLY busy over the last few months (okay, last few years, but I digress), and I noticed I hadn't done art in a really, really long time. So, rather than QQ about it, I decided to cut into my "productive" morning hours and whip something up as a surprise for my boyfriend for our anniversary featuring our two in-game characters from World of Warcraft (I'm the NE Druid, he's the NE Death Knight).
I actually did a couple sketches before I found a layout I enjoyed (go go pre-planning!), and from there I did ink line art over the original sketch. I was really proud of myself for not rushing into inking until I had EVERYTHING else nailed down, including the concept for the background.
After that I scanned the line art (since I HAVE been known to entirely screw up the coloring process and enjoy having a backup "just in case"), and then went on to finish the piece in Copic Marker. While I DID use professional quality marker paper, for some reason it scans sort of weird and it killed all the neat little plays of color throughout the piece. Oh well.
It's a little under 8 1/2 by 11.
In any case, enjoy.
My second piece of (polished) WoW Fan-Art ever, yay!

Thanks again for the compliments! Looking back on pieces like this it definitely reminds me that I need to poke around with my markers more. There's not enough time in the day for all I want to do!
Maybe I should start explore the prismacolors I imported from U.S.
At the moment, I only use the grey ones, for quick-shadow coloring.
But you are a living proof of a marker master
I really do enjoy using them, even if I don't do it often enough!
Now I'm bringing out my box of 200 prismacolors for the weekend! I MUST become this good!
