11/4/2017: I would like to sincerely apologize for the lack of updates to this thread. When I started this, everything was fine, but shortly after my Father was admitted to the Hospital with double Pneumonia and sepsis. He recovered but suffered 3 strokes while in the Hospital due to low blood pressure (he had a very rare artery disease, and by lowering his blood pressure so much- in order to keep the sepsis from spreading, caused him to not receive enough blood to his brain). My Father was then transferred to hospice shortly after and passed away 3 months ago. I have been recovering from my grief, and through all this, let my promises to have these drawings completed for you all in a timely manner. So, I am editing this to let you know that I'll be working on them again. Thank you for your patience. I look forward to drawing your characters.

 

 

6/13/2017 UPDATE: I have just finished Lihli's drawing. It took a lot longer than I had planned. So, please expect to wait an average of five days when I am working on your drawing. Thanks again! I had a lot of fun drawing Lihli, and am looking forward to the next character.

 

Hi!

 

I am getting back into FFXIV after my charger died on me, and I thought it would be a good idea to capitalize on my excitement by starting a value study.

 

Unfortunately, I feel a bit odd randomly picking people's characters from google or instagram to draw so I thought I would post something here.

 

These will be free, and just a way for me to maintain motivation.

They will all be in grey scale because I need a lot of effort to improve.

 

I'm only going to take 20 individual screenshots right now due to personal matters.

 

If all of this is fine with you then please post a screenshot of your preferred character. I will respond to let you know if and when I begin working on it. I am by no means a professional, and am still in the beginner range so please don't expect a brilliant work of art- just a nice freebie from one ffxiv player to another.

 

For the photos, I would prefer headshots, but if you have an interesting dynamic shot then that's fine too. Screenshots with dramatic lighting would be very helpful as well!

 

 

You can either private message me, add a link to the photo you want me to use, or post directly if that is an option.

 

Thank you for reading this! I greatly appreciate it.

Hi there! I've got something, if you'd be interested!

 

http://imgur.com/a/PUb2c  That's my character, Lihli Nherusa. She's a priestess of Nymeia and all around wonderful leader and healer. If you're interested, def feel free to draw her. She currently has the short hair and wears that outfit linked in there the most.

Hey, I've started the sketch! I read that she had a good personality in the images you sent so I'm trying to show that in the drawing. I'll let you know when it's done. Probably tomorrow or the next day.

I love her eyes! Which haircut would you like me to use? And can you tell me something about her personality that you would like me to try and convey?

Thanks! Maybe the haircut with the bangs that goes to about shoulder length? And this character is actually a songstress. She's very outgoing and friendly. She's charismatic and charming, she's not afraid of being on stage, she's good with large audiences. Here's her wiki if you want some more detailed info: https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Y%27zhara_Zekial. Oh and her name is Y'zhara Zekial but goes by Zhara.

Thanks for this description, it helped a lot. I already have an idea on what to do for her portrait. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Finished Athil Thorne. Will be starting on your character next. Sorry for the delay.

Oh my goodness dear, the last thing you should worry about is anyone being angry with you for taking any sort of time. I read your update and let me just say that I extend my sincerest condolences. I am so sorry that happened to you and all I want from you is for you to take all the time you need to feel better. I don't think anyone would ever hold it against you for needing your space, if it's too much don't you even worry about mine. *Hugs*

I've been peeking at this thread for a while now so I figured I'd like to join in, though reading your update, I have to add; I'm terribly sorry you had to go through watching your father suffer and be in such pain like that, and for your loss. You have my sincerest condolences! Like Siha said, you really don't have to apologize for anything. You take as much time as you need. If somebody gets demanding, that's on them for being greedy and inconsiderate. It has nothing to do with you.

 

 In fact, you don't even have to draw him, but here's an image of my half-Elezen, half-Hyur (offering a reassuring smile; "things are tough right now, but you'll make it through this, I promise!") I hope the lighting is good enough here! Not too blurry, not too blaring!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate what you wrote me. 

 

Well, it took a few days, but I have finished the sketch. It's a very straight forward head shot. I've attached a photo of it. Once it's colored I'll send you an update. I actually had a hard time drawing her because she looks very intelligent, but also the kind of person who is very calm and sweet. So, it was a bit of a struggle to bring out the right qualities. I hope I was able to, and if you see anything off then let me know in a message. I went with a more anime/manga style for her sketch. I think it will turn out well once colored. I hope you like it.

 

also. I'll fix that eye, it's a little smaller than the other, and I just noticed. I'll have that fixed before it's colored.

Thank you for saying that. I'll be sure to keep your advice in mind. I don't feel as pressured now that I've received replies from you and Siha. Also, I'd love to draw him!

Just give me a chance to catch up to you!

It's beautiful! You're doing a wonderful job with her! She can be smart but she's just a big softy at heart and I think you capture that wonderfully! I don't see a thing wrong with it and thank you again for working on her! I already love it so I can only guess it's going to get more beautiful if you're coloring it. Thank you again for drawing my dork. ^^

 

I hope things are going better for you too.
