Maelstroms nemesis crown artwork

Post by _maelstrom_ »

Hi,

well as some of the barren hills players know i'll be working on some artwork for the campaign in my spare time, I thought i would set up a seperate thread to add it to. Anyhow heres my first piece still slightly WIP and i need to do the shading:

Its a picture of Fingol23's character Rakieth the exiled, the leader of the druchii attack on Tor Thana. The picture was inspired by his fluff.

let me know what you think

cheers,

I like it although it would look better if you drew in some reigns

P.S what happened to the picture of the meeting?

thanks, i'm going to put the reigns in soon.

the picture of the meeting i am going to start again, i brought a sketch book yesterday just for nemesis crown stuff, it shouldn't take me to long as i know roughly who goes where, just a case of fitting all the characters in.

cheers,

Hi, thought i would give this thread a quick update, most of the artwork is still WIP but i did manage to make a rough sort of idea for the sort of artwork for the pages in the compilation that Lord Kaihlik is working on here it is:

Example page

after talking to Kaihlik about it, there wont be art work on every page but at the start of sections etc, though i may put in the od piece on pages here and there. the rune is the rune for fellblade that Tillmann suggested,

let me know what you think

cheers

Hi all another update here, its a piece of art work for the WIP Tor Thana compilation, its Rackieth addressing the gathered troops on the plains this will use up a full page and im also working on a smaller version from the troops perspective that will go on the actually page conatining the relevant fluff.

Rackieth

drawn and shaded by hand, may yet do clouds using photoshop does need rotating slightly because its off 2 an angle. text is a quote from the section this drawing corresponds to that was written by Tillmann:

Very good though the arms look a little on the chunky side for an elf.
Moding a group of Druchii.net players is much like directing the musical 'Cats' using actual cats. Frustrating, difficult, chaotic but ultimatley satisfying and a great deal of fun.

Thanks, the arms look big because i have made the glooves baggy, the fold lines haven't come out well though.

on a side note today i brought the following 2nd hand models from a shop in wolverhampton:

couldron of blood
shadowblade
1 harpy (to complete a unit)
1 manflayer( to make into a character)
blackguard musician ( also to make into a chracter)
12 crossbowmen
1 executioner (also to convert)

all for £17.60, saved me alot of money :D
