Aion Soul Healers are really eerie and call strong feeling if you pay attention to them. I drew this SH guy's hair came out from under his hood, it is wrong in relation to original design of Soul Healers, but with the hood tightly enclosing this face he scared me.

I hope to finish this piece sometime, because I like it, but the need to paint all gold parts and patterns makes me out of any wish to paint.
Also, here is finished pencil base for Sanctum landscape. I don't like to keep many pictures unfinished and lay sketches aside, but don't know when I will be able to return to this picture again. Now I'm busy with some other work, so I don't promise to finish and show any pictures during next month.

I finally solved my Intuos4+SAI trouble, thanks to the cold and boredom those forced me to digg in SAI files.
SAI has amazing file called [misc.ini] that allows to make some user tweaks for application. My problem was rooted in old SAI verison (1.0.1), that didn't have advanced options in its [misc.ini]. New SAI (Ver.1.1.0) allowed me to solve my trouble through [misc.ini] in seconds.
In addition, using SAI files, I made some other tweaks and share them, the small guide is about following things:
1. How to solve troubles with tablet pen speed.
2. How to rearrange palettes. Examples: 1, 2, 3
3. How to add custom canvas presets for new file.

Sorry for lack of updates. I fell in love with Aion, and it occupied all my thoughts and free time. Never experienced such feelings since my first Ragnarok Online days 5 or 6 years ago.
I have just one impression - it is great game. It reminds Ragnarok Online very much, and as far as I know, many RO players changed the game to Aion.
Ragnarok Online is awesome MMORPG - beautiful, interesting, deep, fun, but it is old. The one thing RO needs to extend its life is upgrading of graphics and adding some modern features. New mechanics and job classes are useless without present-day look. So, Gravity just ruined the game by its own hands, no one from new players wants to play in outdated game, and old players don't need new mechanics instead new people and new graphics. Well, goodbye, my beloved RO, you was the best MMORPG in your time, and Aion is your successor.
I tried to draw a farewell RO fan art, but it turned out that I lost the RO atmosphere behind new impressions. And I failed. I think, I'll draw some Aion fan art, but some time later, after squeals in delight quiet down a bit.
Also, I'll try to finish my Photoshop guide before New Year.

Happy upcoming holidays!
