Rila attempts to art

[Rila]

Hello Eorzeans. I am I'rila Xanh, a compulsive crafter and fledgling artist that currently resides on Balmung.

My work in the past have generally consisted of mechanical pencil sketches, though I did get a Wacom tablet last week, so you'll also see a couple of awkward-looking color portraits here and there.

 

In addition to showcasing my art, I'm also hoping to gauge the community's level of interest should I decide to open up commissions. Feedback, critical and otherwise, is much appreciated.

 

Thanks, and enjoy!

 

 

A few FFXIV pencil portraits:

The lovely Isilrael Geissfyrwyn:

 

My favorite retainer:

 

Johanna Mason from the Hunger Games, which I used a photo reference for:

 

 

Two full-body sketches of non-FFXIV RP characters. The first one's an outfit design for a character I've had for years and years:

 

 

And the next one is a similar sketch I did for a friend. Please note that I was provided photo references for the armor and did NOT design it myself:

 

 

Finally, here are the awkward looking color portraits I did on my new Wacom tablet, which I'm not entirely comfortable with yet (due in part to being terrible at using color) :

I really like the rough edges on some of the color in the last two and the one with the bow is my fav of the lot. More arts plz.

Would you accept gil for commissions?

[Rila]

Thank you! And yes, I would accept gil.

I think they look pretty awesome. Then again, I think all the art is awesome, because it is.

I would like to be as "terrible" at using colors as you are

Thanks for the input so far everyone!

 

It's been just over twenty-four hours, and while I only got one reply that explicitly mentioned commissions, there was a good handful of positive feedback. So, most likely, I'll repurpose this thread to be a commissions queue at some point in the near future.

 

In the meantime, have an old Puzzle Pirates-inspired drawing from a few years back:
