So cute! ^.^

Thanks so much to EVERYBODY who entered ^.^

It was so hard to choose the winners...

hi^^ i really like ut art^^

Thank you!

I have no doubt that you'll win the next contest you join. Your coloring is so good I wouldn't be surprised if in the future you got a job doing work on video games or CGI movies, something like that. I really mean it.

I noticed you worked a .hack// based picture for Xiakeyra. I'd like to know if you could work one for me. I've been playing .hack// and watched .hack//SIGN, plus I did a few .hack//G.U. characters.

Anyways, think you could work my original character Karyana? If I could work her in .hack// style, she'd probably be a mix between a Wavemaster, a Bladesmaster and a Twin Blade (.hack//SIGN) or a mix between a Shadow Warlock and an Adept Rogue (.hack//Roots).

I hope this won't be too hard.

I'm still working on 3 other pics so likely I'll be busy until the middle of next month. We'll see.

Anyway:

What does the weapon look like? Hair?

For a reference for her hairstyle, look here: http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-561394.html

She normally has her hair down to slightly above her hips, and has two small braids, one on each side of her face, plus a much longer and thicker braid the same length as her hair.

As for her weapon, she normally carries a long sword similar to this: http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-422065.html

Her blade, Eclipse, represents the balance of all forces (fire and ice, light and darkness, twilight and daybreak).

Sorry for this extremely late reply, but its only today that your message popped up (stupid board bugs).

I'll see what I can cook up.

sorry one last question out of the free ones which one is the best or download all of them and use them all?

There a saying that goes "the best program is the one you know how to use."

Just try out one, then when once you're learned how to use it but still feel something is lacking, try another.

Let's just say that "the best program is the one you know how to use."

wow thanks!!! So those are all exsept for the Daz one? Well out of the ones you can buy which one is the best? Sorry for all the questions ^.^'

The "best" that can be bought is Maya. However, at $2000 for the basic version and $7000 for the unlimited version, I wouldn't recommend it for someone who isn't making 3D for a living.

Here's a list of other programs:

Really i didnt know there where so many! Well which one do you use? i've been thinking bout trying to get one! ^.^

I use all of them. The problem is that these programs are _extremely_ limited in what they can do, so I end up using all of them to do what I want to do.



If you want to start with a posing and rendering program that's easy to use, try Daz Studio:

Once you're ready to make your own stuff (you can't make new stuff with Daz Studio) you can try the various free modellers out there:
