Description If you haven't yet watched this game trailer (created by the excellent Blur Studios) for upcoming MMO Wildstar, I'd highly recommend it: [link]

After watching that I couldn't resist trying my hand at the Aurin Esper character. (Aurin being the race and Esper the class)

Interestingly, as is often the case with these pre-rendered movies (Dead Island comes to mind) the actual game doesn't quite look like the trailer. I hope Blur Studios are eventually able to get into making full-length movies, they've done similarly excellent work with trailers like Fable III, Arkham City, Bioshock Infinite, and Mass Effect 2

[EDIT: I found this pic has been added on a Hungarian Wildstar website, they seemed to be quite annoyed that I hadn't described how it was drawn. Basically my method is to draw everything digitally using the mouse, so there is no pre-sketching done.]

I tried making mine an exact replica of Liara since she was the hottest and cuttest fictional character I had ever seen , however Most of her options , breast size , hair style , eye color etc were not avaliable ingame

Aw man, sorry I missed this when it went up. I've tried to be thorough about finding anything new to put up into the #WildStarSettlers group. (Which you are more than welcome to join!)

I actually played Arkham City in Cape Town while I was over last week (finished it too lol), awesome game, I might get the PC version.

This pic looks very different from your usual style, I'm liking it alot. Specially those eyes dude nice!

If you've got Arkham Asylum you can get 20% off the PC pre-purchase version on Steam

Hmm, s'pose I did take quite a different approach with the facial features to match that trailer, otherwise wouldn't have thought this looked different to my other pics (glad to hear it looks good though). You don't think I made the eyes too big? Which aspects of this pic should I try and keep working at as part of my usual style?

The face is mainly what caught my eye. You added subtle details such as lips and a nicely drawn nose, eye lashes, freckles etc. I think that's what made it look really good man

It's always like that, that's why I appreciate pre-rendered movies and all... but I really like in game videos.

Heh yeah in this particular case I feel like that pre-render should be turned into a full movie rather than being followed by an MMO game

MMO games graphics usually suck.
