The Historian by emilylorange

Wed, 29 Nov 2006 00:26:51 -0000

A bizzare thing that came out of the sketch-group this week. The idea for him came to me last night. I fear a story on the horizon. Damn. Parts I like, parts I don't... but it really is just a bunch of marker over a sketch Art and character belongs to me.

Asheru 63 Flash by Scott Ruggels

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 05:18:11 -0000

Spent this weekend in a working vacation, learning Flash. In a break from the tutorials, I colored a sketch in Flash and found the program to have some pretty good inking tools. This digital ink and coloring took about 4 hours. This is NOT suitable for animation, but give me an idea of hwo to Draw in it. Animation and simple characters come later, but I feel comfortable with the tools, now.

Teaching navigation in old Fehnnia by stevegallacci

Sun, 19 Nov 2006 00:56:05 -0000

Another Fehnnik image. Much like nautical navigation, being able to travel the trackless deserts needs accurate guidance. That and Fehnniks had an intense interest in astronomy with its connections to astrology and religion. So very elaborate instruments, along with time tables assembled over centuries of observations, could derive location and time/date with great aaccuracy.

Priestest by Chenneoue

One of the special projects I've been trying to work on. And got myself to sit down and finish it. Though I am not 100% satisfied, I think it will work.... the background lighting and the character lighting dont exactly match, but the BG was a last minute thing I threw in there...to have ja know.. a BG!!! omg.

Queen Amber Rust by DimeSpin

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:50:59 -0000

Queen Amber Rust. She's a young Queen of an old established hive. She's a kind, soft spoken lady, but she also has a terrible, cold kind of intelligence. Some people are good because they could not conceive of doing something cruel. Amber Rust is good because she feels benevolence is the best policy 99% of the time. It's the remaining 1% of the time that blindsides people.

Commission for the sweet-as-honey Bjorn Grafeldr. I love bears! Why aren't more of you guys bears? :) I sepia-ized the picture to give more of a feel to the time period, as well as added in details no one will see until you have the high-res version, such as words on the pages of the book. :) What a very fun piece to do! Bjorn sure does have an interesting back story of his character. What is he reading, and why is he studying it so intently? Read his story and find out!
