For those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

Artist's Comments
Started as a doodle in Photoshop. I was experimenting a lot with texture & lighting & custom brushes here. Started drawing in PS on top of a great texture from
 ~pareeerica, and used a bunch of custom brushes (and principles) cribbed from  `blackeri, whose tutorials in ImagineFX have really opened up my head. I probably should have used reference for the figure...oh well.As usual, critiques, comments, & suggestions welcome & greatly appreciated.  Comments
 oh that is wicked
-- CRAAAAZY...toys in the attic, I am CRAAAAAZY Wow, that looks awesome, wonderful work. Thx for the link & for showing me your creation
 Another great picture from you.
I like the velvet like structure of the skirt on her hip and the warm magic glow from her right hand. The whole picture has a nice soft blurry impression. Only her right arm is a bit too edgy for my taste.  The lighting on the flaming hand is excellent. The background suits your style. The image feels more complete too. Can definitely see this published in a book somewhere. Your work has improved, great stuff!
-- Official Website & Blog: www.mike-nash.com forgot to say "thank you" for the texture link - great resource!
 Thanks!
Thanks! The glow was a happy accident from messing around with blending styles in PS.
Man, thanks for the kind words, Mike. I've been working hard to digest some new working methods, and it's great to know that some improvement is apparent (it can be hard to see my own stuff clearly sometimes!) Cheers! And you keep up that great stuff you've been doing: I'm really psyched about your WotC work.
