I like the wall-climbing scene. It's cool to see some scenes/action sequences, in addition to the pin-ups. (Your pin-up work is great.)

[Khuxan]

Your art is excellent, especially the wall-scaling mercenaries. I appreciate that fact that you release your work under a CC license so others can use it.

Could you please clarify: most of the works on the front page don't have the accompanying text identifying them as CC - is this intentional?

Also, a lot of the commissions and doodles on your webpage haven't been featured on this thread... and thus aren't CC. Would it be possible to add a tag to the bottom of those two pages, along the lines of: "Each work on this page is released under an A-NC-SA CC licence"?

Finally, apart from 12round's art, has any other artist on this forum released their work under a CC licence?

Thank you very much.

Part of it is that I found out about CC after this thread was started. And sometimes I forget to put it on. However, there are some pieces that I don't own the rights to. I don't put them up often, stuff I do for publishers, but they are scattered here and there. So. If it don't have the CC after, ask.

I haven't done any character concepts in a bit. But I'm gearing up to do several. A couple of sketches from my own games are here too.

First up, some victorian Rune Punk characters...




Now. Crimson, from a new SotC "noir" game that my friend Judd is running... My assassin turned to good guy. On the run from Fu Manchu and the Crimson Knives... (oh yeah, when stealing, steal from the best... thanks Moench and Gulacy!!!)


And another character, Sebastian Deitrich, from Jeff's super/future sci-fi game based on his original abberant universe. Sebastian is bred and born to serve his Princess Arabella (another player's PC). She is a precog. He is a teleporter. He is so totally in love with her, its funny...

Here is one character concept, a husky, viking bard




... and 2 quickie starship sketches for Jeff's Aberrant/ Sci-Fi game. The big horseshoe thing is a stargate builder...which we teleported onto by accident. The thing is bigger than manhattan. Fun stuff.



And there is a really rough, elegant top of the tech, and my rough attempt to get at that basic idea of sophisticated elegance, yet still starship-y.

The beat goes one. A wrap up of the 3 more "victorianpunk" pics. And one WWII character for Death Tribble. Not quite sure of her backstory. But he wanted an anti-vixen for the pic. No skin. No SS buxom domnatrixes. Just an iron cross around the neck.

Here is an Eberron character-- sorta a psychic rogue



And here is Crimson colored. He is from the most recent Spirit of the Century pulp noir game I'm in.



And if you want to see the writeup/ stats of the character, I put it up on my google documents here:

This was commissioned by me. The character is Nox, a changeling rogue/psychic warrior. I love the art! It's exactly as a described with some detailing that , while not implicitly stated, was spot on. Thanks Storn!

Glad you like! Glad for the commission!

Here are some pics from Jeff's excellent scifi Aberrant game.

First up is Princess Arabella played by Nikki, precog, telepath, my PC's principal and, well, love of his life.



Then we have Pan. Pirate captain, brilliant hacker with cyberkinesis. Played by Keikei



Next up is Bertrum, played by Kevin. Bertrum was really hard to draw, as he is a shapeshifter. He can turn into anything, a chair, another person, or animal. So what image could encompass that? In frustration, I doodle this for a laugh...



And here we have two NPCs. Angus and Star General Jin Tao. Jin Tao is one of Arabella's suitors and a genetic engineered GRIN warrior. Angus was a rejected gene-GRIN warrior who started to follow Pan around when she went to a merc bar to get scuttlebutt on the downlow. I came up with Angus on the fly, even though I wasn't the GM. Hitting on Pan in a loud, booming (badly, horrible) scottish accent. I had the table laughing pretty hard. It was fun.

Here is a villainess for B's Champions game. Kinda like the slinkyness of this one.



And here is a milestone. This is Death Tribbles FIFTIETH commission. It is an odd one, I'll paste the description I got here so y'all can see how fun and strange this one is.... the speedster part really threw me. <g>

from D.T. >>A transparent male human shape run like a Q ship with little figures on the inside manning a gun where the nose should be and others throughout the body. The little figures should not be distinct.
No missile pods, just guns like battleships of yore.
One hand should have two of the fingers, probably the two after the thumb, as these guns. This hand will be on the horizontal. The other hand can be pointing down and you could keep obscure this one so people cannot see it.
Other guns would be above the naval about rib base on one side and below the naval and above the groin on the other. I am not thinking that guns in the groin area or down the legs would be a good idea.
No guns pointing out of the back if the back is visible.
The little figures should appear to be human. The body can look like a base with fuel storage and lifts.
No hair. Neuter the figure for decency sake.
Figure should be in motion either going left to right or coming out at the reader like Speester. But let's talk about this when you get to it.
No radar or radio attenna outside the human shape.<<<

And this is whatjaget after comes through my noodle.

Something a bit new for me today. My friend Aaron has been after me for months to do this weekly challenge over at Ten Ton Studios, a comic book forum (link here: http://www.tentonstudios.com/forum/i...p?topic=4816.0)

Well. Nexus is one of the cooler outfits in my opinion and it got me off my duff to participate. I've also been meaning to return to doing some acrylics. So, I killed two birds with one stone today.

And here is Nexus...

This watercolor and gouache on watercolor paper about 10.5 x 15.25. The Master of Kung Fu goes up versus The Hand. Kung fu vs. ninjitsu. If Bruce Lee was the definitive model for Shang Chi in the 70s, I pushed towards an older guy (he is a master, after all) based more on a combo of Donnie Yen and Jet Li. I had the idea for doing a bit of sequential fight choreography the day after I put up the challenge. I knew I had to slap it down.

[Storn]

A couple of battlin' babes. First up is Lioness for Death Tribble. Next is a flying, brick, type super with a police background.

This is an oil painting commission I've been working off and on during the last couple of weeks. A Forgotten Realms Drow. Finally dry enuff to slap on the ol' scanner.

I'm quite pleased with how it came out. I owe Alan Pollack huge props for letting me come over to his house and watch him paint for a few hours. I took several of his techniques and materials when doing this painting and it was the most fun I've had painting since art school. So much easier that my usual struggles.

I think this would make a nice cover. It has not been published. So, if anyone has a need for a drow on a cover, let me know. It will be a lot cheaper than commissioning a new cover.

If you want to post the cover illo you did for E.N. Publishing, by all means go for it.

Thanks Ryan!

I will.

Meanwhile, a trio of images for Death Tribble. First up, Bast, a catburglar who needed to depart from Catwoman and still have a bit of an egyptian motif.



Then, with Scott Bennie's approval, Red King from his Gestalt book (an amazing campaign book for Champions, btw, Stornbob sez: check it out), who never got the full head to toe treatment. And from what I understand, the Bone White Queen was mentioned, but never got a stat write up or an illo in the book. D.T. wanted to see my version of her, so, viola, I combined the two of them with the magic of photoshop.

[Lalato]

Awesome, as always.

This was done for En World Publishing, like Ryan a few posts up there mentioned. For an upcoming module in the War of Burning Sky campaign setting... Link below...and the title name of the module is "Sleep, ye Cursed Child" by Wolfgang Baur.

I love this piece. By he way, Storn, we're "E.N. Publishing," not EN World Publishing.

[Reveille]

Whoa!

That certainly knocks my sock off.
