Art from Piratecat's story hour

[Piratecat]

Whoah, whoah, whoah! Back up! Erstwhile familiar? What happened to Proty? Did I miss the memo, or is this referring to an event which hasn't come up on the Story Hour yet?

Nope, I'm just misused the word when I was thinking about the flashback of the mini bio. Proty is alive, well, and squirming!

Tao kind of looks like Björk.

Tao kind of looks like Björk.

Well, aside from Bjork being a tiny, tiny person. Tao is a brick house. 5'10" and something like 13 stone. Not fat. Oh no. Think rower, female rugby or volleyball player, and you've got the type. Valkyrie (did I spell that right?).

I never did finish that picture of Tao to my own satisfaction. Perhaps in a few days when my current crisis is over I'll take another shot at it.

Meanwhile, here's one of Rides the Sun, over Eversink:

And Tipic, Kirisandra's willful and drunken familiar.
I'm leaving out the portrait of Kiri that goes with this, 'cause it's a photoshop job on an actual photo. Tipic is wholecloth "art" though, 'cause I drew him all by myself. Except for the bottle. And the frame.

I swiped the building, but I modified it a lot. Points if you can recognize the source--you of all people on this board might.

The gondola is also swiped and modified, but from a different photo.

The rest is all mine.

And Nolin's Ring of Incontinence.

Another Photoshop job for you purists--but you have to appreciate that what I started from was photos of leaves of actual plants: castor leaf, senna, flax, psyllium . . . hey, it's not only magical, it's herbal and all natural!

wow!
those are outstanding!

I am not crazt over the B&W stuff, but that is just because the painted style color pics are so atmospheric, there's nothing wrong with the b&w'd they just aren't as cool imo.
(But still very nice! )

I'm really liking the style there.

So when are you going to publish a setting book then?!
