I believe by Annatar777.

Yeah, those babes are mine. Don't remember the artist but I guess it was Artgerm. Only these girls looked Exalted-ish to me, though, from his collection at the time.

^_^

Great memory annatar! It is from artgerm, while the the sidereal/night (undecided yet I presume) is from shilin

@danelsan
about the picture below

 

why don't you use this :
http://shilin.deviantart.com/art/DAMN-IT-40462468

she is the same character with better brightness, is it the sword she holding make her less night/serenity?

I will soon crate a Personal DeviantArt Page to stock everything that can be useful to this thread and its Art-Loving Forumites!
While I'm busy organizing all the Directories and Folders of Arts of my Computers (I've got an External Memory Backup of 500 Giga ONLY for storing safely Graphic Art taken from the Web and Years of Scanning) I would ask a graphic counsil to Danelsan, Asura and the other "Great Exaltifiers" who not only add Caste Marks and Moonsilvers Tattoos to yet excellent art, but also try to convene Aura Blazes of Essence Totemic Flare.
For my upcoming Alchemical Exalted designs what kind of Photoshop Filters (or any other kind of Graphic Effects) you will put to any specific Caste Effect ? 
If you are not familiar with these Chosen Of Autochton I can extrapolate descriptions from my 1Edition Manuals.

     I'm not sure if someone has exaltified this picture already, but if not... could someone turn this into a Night caste solar with orichalcum short daiklaves and brown hair? Feel free to add any other artistic touches to it too, like anima flare. I'm finding more and more that what I have in mind for a character kind of pales in comparison to the awesomeness of what you guys make. o_o I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. <_<
    Edit: If anyone decides to do this, can they make a pic without the caste mark too? Like, before and after anima flare? Thanks. x.x

Kinda looks like Armattan if he got better armor.

I don't own 1st Ed Autochtonians, so I'd need a description before giving advice on how to portray their Anima banners through photoshop

@Asura: man, you really have a prejudice against bright stuff, don't you ^_^ ? While it is true that a caste mark would be more visible in the picture you suggested, you are missing a good part of the reason I decided to do something with that picture I posted in the first place. You see, the water pool, the flowers, the character expression, the very soft shading and the intense light, all adds together to create a certain "mood" for the picture, which is what makes it ultimately so pleasing, at least to me.

Anyway, I decided to go for sidereal in that one, and I liked the idea of a Secrets, but since many people suggested Serenity, I did both. I may try again this one...just couldn't get a good color X luminosity balance, so i had to do the Marks kinda floating, adding a drop shadow to separate Mark and luminosity :-(



Also decided to make Mai Shiranui (or, as the character I'm using her for, Dancer on the Shadows Beyond the Grave, or ShadowDancer for short, in a little homage to an old D&D character that had a "prestige class" by that name )  a Day caste, as she does more ninja stuff than socialite stuff


The pirate remains unfinished, but this Night Caste with two short daiklaves is done in 3 version: Normal, Caste Mark, and Caste Mark + Anima

Wow, you got that done so quickly Danelsan. It looks very good! I'll definitely use these pictures. However, I'm not sure if it's just an issue on my end of the line here, but the third picture won't come up when I click the thumbnail. Is imagevenue just being screwy?

PS: You made Mai a day caste! Awesome!

The Gypsie King:

Working normally for me...But I'll repost it:

and just to be sure, just the link
NIGHT CASTE SHORT BLADES C

Damn, I need to get all my pictures together to make that compilation post...I must get more organized with my stuff!

Still not working Danelsan, and this time I got two of my friends to try going to the link and they said it wasn't working either. Maybe you can just email it to me at falsestigmata@hotmail.com x.x

didn't work for me when I tried to add it to my collection as well

Ok, I Re-Uploaded, new thumb:

 

I have also sent it to the e-mail provided, but since it would be troublesome to send it to everybody, I hope this new link works!

Link works! Thank you very much Danelsan!

@Danelsan
It's literally hurts my right eyes in to see something too bright/ too white. I can see it with my left eyes, but if you don't tell me, I'll never noticed that she is floating above a pool. When I saw the first original art I just see 50% of the picture covered in white. As it hurt my eyes I closed the browser.
 

@Annatar 
In the morning I sometimes have difficulty too look at the sky as long it's sunny, as I describe it "too bright." I told myself that I'm probably just what most of you guys called basement dweller. Do you think I have eye condition? 

Umm...if it is just your right eye that hurts, not the left, then yeah, you might have some sort of condition, but I'm not a doctor of any sort. I used to have a similar problem, though mine turned out to be the beginnings of astigmatism, and apparently a weak optic nerve in one eye.

I see...is there a cure for astigmatism? And is it serious? I know that my right eyes sometimes can be quite blurry when it comes to reading. But for a moment I think I can drive fine....

@Asura: Man, I'll be honest with you, lol, as I intend to take surgery or orthopaedics as my specialization, I don't really like ophthalmology that much...(I'm also in charge of pneumology and hematology patients this month, so my brain is heading another direction entirely, lol)

But your case does ring me a bell, it reminds me of photofobia. A light or moderate case of photofobia.

1) How old are you?
2) Do you feel any headaches? How often? If yes, where in the head is located this pain?
3) Do you have any previous eye condition? Do you wear glasses?
4) Do you have any kind of disease or health condition (diabetes, hypertension, etc...)?
5) When do you feel light irritates your sight (hour of the day)? What is the duration of the episode? How often do you feel this (per day)?
6) Do you wear contact lenses?
7) Does this condition prevents you from doing certain activites, like reading, watching TV or driving? If yes, which exact activities?

I guess these brief questions can help me understand your case better, my friend.

^_^

P.S. I have no problem at all with Danel's pics. I can perfectly see she is in a pond of water.
