Player Portrait by River Rock

June 12th, 2010 7:32 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Paint a fellow player - we'd really prefer that you use their player photo as your model, though. Any medium/style, but let us know what you end up doing with it.

This is a pencil sketch of Dth 2 Goby. The portrait is a combination of two of his own portraits, plus a Viking helmet, because Mistress MeiMei liked the braids and the helmet goes with the braids. The paper is tracing paper, only because I had it on hand for Fortune Not Cookie (which I haven't posted yet). The pencil is mechanical pencil.

After I uploaded the file, I modified the color, which for some reason looked blue even though the paper is white. I decided it would be better in sepia with higher contrast.

- smaller

The pencil is a Papermate with a .5 mm lead.

In retrospect, I wish I had made the helmet more massive. Nevertheless, I don't think it's too bad considering that this was my first time drawing a person in a helmet. I hope Dth 2 Goby likes it.

Thanks. I hardly ever draw any more, so I wasn't sure I could pull it off. I'm glad the task inspired me to give it a shot.

BTW, I have a picture I wanted to add to the collection that your portrait and Spidere's seem to represent. It's not a proper portrait, but it does include a piece of a player.

Even cooler..

...is that the task inspired you to do something you hadn't done in awhile. Neat!

As for the picture you want to add, I'd love love to see it. It cracks me up that Spidere and I have pics that are so similar.. :)
