Elspeth and Babs

[Moth]

My wife and I are playing two sisters in a friend's D&D campaign. I am playing Elspeth, the taller woman in a leather jacket. My wife is playing Parabola, "Babs", the blonde. This is a cartoon portrait of the two. Let me know what you think. This is my first attempt at a Manga styled piece. It is fairly large at 240 K so be forewarned.

Excellent textures in the clothing. You also managed to capture the characters quite well - one brooding, the other bubbly. The eyes are perhaps not as well defined/striking for "manga" type pieces and the styling of the hair might not strictly conform to the more uni-color/duo-tone more prevalent in manga, but overall a very good effort.

Some nice reference material to be found here:

Wow! Thanks Doodad! That is an excellent tutorial site. Looks like I'm going to be busy for a while.

Moth, please share anything you come up with in the Campfire area - I've set up a Manga thread there. Already some groovy grunge manga shaping up by ronmatt.
