Yeah there are a lot of themed elements missing from my digital but I advance very slow because I am a beginner in this digital thingies (its my 3-th time I use tablet, not so much fan of it), and also the resolution dimension don't help me much, this detail is at 100% perhaps I must double the size to get space for more details:

SCWatson, the other one is waleran, making him a rough, weary kind of character, and a bit older.

Don't really have any more time, so I think I'm calling it done.

Laurghita. I think that looks pretty good for 1X size and perhaps done at 72 dots resolution. I like Sabelina's face. Most of the rest of us probably worked up in size. I did mine at about 2000 pixels across the top and sized it down to about 600 for presentation.

As you gain familiarity with the new tools I expect to see some beautiful images from you. Cheers.

Attorney is spot on Laurghita. I was working at about 2200 high and then reduced it down. Once I had the template downloaded, I just bumped up the dpi to 300 in my drawing software to do the work.

I used one called Sketchbook Pro 2010 for this, because it's just really nice to draw quickly in, and isn't overloaded with brushes and tools. Most drawing software will have the facility to enlarge/reduce your image size, as well as expand and contract your canvas.

When it comes to preparing it to send I tend to process it through Photoshop for its reliablility. I only have an old version (version 7) but it can do everything I need it to. If Photoshop is too expensive a step, there are vey capable alternatives on the market for a much kinder price tag though. I have the latest PhotoPlus on my machine too (which you'll be able to grab off Ebay for £20 or £30). Gimp is free come to that.

Apologies if I'm covering ground you are already familiar with. No insult intended. Just trying to be helpful as you said this digital realm was a new world for you.

[bergcrantz]

so this is how far I got.
