Blue Fire of Athas

[Silverblade The Ench]

Been enjoying doing Dark Sun art for a change to my usual Spelljammer stuff
this is made with Vue, other Dark Sun art, recently, has been done with Mojoworld.

Someone asked me to make a cover pic for a pdf, this is the result.

So does this mean you're taking requests now?

BTW that is one freakin' cool pic.

 

[Blackrat]

OY!!! WOW!!! You wouldn't want to expand that to desktop size, would you???

 

[Silverblade The Ench]

*bows* thanks folks!

Blackrat,
I doubt I will make it desktop size, sorry , the fella asked specifically for A4, so I didn't add terrain elements to the side. i'd need to do a lot of work, and I can never redo that sun, it's painted afterwards in 2d, as well as the heat haze, so I'd need to paste it over top, etc etc.
I may. but no promises, k?
hm, he did want also a panoramic, so I could add side elements then work sun in on top again.
it would be widescreen though, as I use my own pics for my dektops and for his needs of a wide image.

Revielle,
only when it's stuff I'm wanting to do anyway
sorry iirc you wanted whaleship for Spelljammer?...SJ ship's take me a month of hard work to make.
Stress= very bad for my health. even stress of completing something for another person. if it's fun, coincides with my artistic bent for the time, cool, otherwise, no.

Rats... Well I just need to content with black bars on the sides then. . Yeah, that's my new desktop anyways. I think you already know, but you're fast becoming my favourite computer-artist...

Ah, you ninja, you edited, widescreen would be perfect as I have 1440x900 monitor myself.

Blackrat,
well I@ll see. I was thinking of getitng GeoControl2 to make better terrain and the mesas could do with better texturing. It's jus the Sun that bothers me most. as said, custom done ine 2d postwork so could never replicate it. I'd need to be careful on the aspect ratios so it stay same in final work....we'll see

I like blackbars on top/bottom of widescreen pics, lets me put my icons on it neatly without buggering up the pics

And thanks, art n' D&D is about all I can do nowadays. *bows*
Gonna add a Dark Sun section back to me site, since i've got so much DS art. (had a DS section for gaming ages ago)

Whaleship.

I completely understand about stress. I used to be in a bad place with it until I found the center of my universe.

 

[Silverblade The Ench]

got a lot of ships to do afore whaleship, I'm afraid...Scro mantis...Dragonfly, Cuttle COmmand etc...and Spelljammer itself


Glad yer ok at moemnt
I've got M.E. (CFIDS as they call it in US), able to do stuff currently cause of testosterone shots (scarring on the brain typical of ME and tha'ts probably what's knackered my pituitary gland) and avoiding stress like krypotonite
