Zaffina from Blade & Soul Artwork

Continuing on with the artwork of my characters in the up-coming MMORPG, Blade & Soul (in NA/EU), I have drawn my main character. She was originally from Aion, but has translated surprisingly easily to Blade & Soul with its detailed character creator.

This is the colour version of the image. All of these pieces have colour versions and were filtered using Reticulation in Photoshop CC to get this effect. The warmth the noise brings helps to blend the tones together more coherently, producing a more realistic feel.

Blade & Soul BETA Artwork

So I tried out Blade & Soul, an MMO that has already been out for 3-odd years, but is only now making its way over to the west. The game was great, and I highly recommend it!

With it being in its BETA phase at the moment, I could really mess around with the character creator and not have to worry about buying plastic surgery tickets later on when I decide that my characters look wrong. I made a Force Master, taking on the name of my main avatar in Aion, 'Zaffina', and a Summoner, taking on the name of my Elyos Ranger from Aion, 'Zact'. 

This is my Summoner in-game:

I decided to draw a more realistic version of his character where I tried to bring out the role he plays as a character I originally created in Aion. He is a young man who is too naive for the world of war that he lives in.

Next I plan to do a similar portrait of 'Zaffina', bringing out her character colours. This is her in Blade & Soul:
