Here is a portion to a larger piece I just got back for my illustration class. I thought I'd post it because it's vaguely illithidesque. The assignment was to combine human, animal and plant references all into one. This is Rudolph Valentino, an octopus, and some vines. We had to do it up like it was for a book cover, but really it was more of an excercise in creativity than anything. Oh yeah, this is painted in acrylic.

oni,

your free-ranging nearly manic lines and the way you so deftly convey the weight of fabrics is inspiring to me. and i love oyur use of sepia for faux aging.

i would love to have a few books full of oyur stuff.

Many thanks alsih2o for the kind words.

I sincerely hope that your wish is one day a possibility, nothing would make me happier than to be in a position to be able to produce an art book.

Just a bump to keep from losing my thread until I get my current internet situation ironed out.

Still not back on regular internect connection, but I've hijacked a friends terminal to breath some life back into this thread. Just posting a couple of pics from my sketchbook. The first is not really high fantasy, but could fit into call of cthulhu maybe (or at least a pulpy horror game). Inspiration came from the old EC comic covers.

Just hoping to stay afloat 'til I get back on a regular internet connection.

These are a couple of sketches for a project I'm doing for one of my illustration classes. We had to do an illustration for a fairy tale and I picked The Brave Little Tailor.

This first one is just after the tailor threw fooled the giant into thinking the bird he threw was a rock.

And this one is after the giants believe they had killed the poor little tailor (should have looked for a body) and he suddenly shows up, so they naturally assume that he's going to beat them to a bloody pulp.

Just a little something to keep my thread afloat until I have regular internet access again (just a few more weeks, I'm positively giddy).

This is a 15 min. doodle I did in acrylic when I was bored of working on my assignment in my illustration class.

Thought I needed to add a little something else since the last update was a little meh...

Anyway this is a character idea that's been rolling around in my head for a while, not really a dnd character but rather from a story idea. He's a sort of sorcerer (not in the dnd sense) who was an undead hunter. Anyway long story short his sister got turned into a vampire and he couldn't kill her and their on the run. The leather glove/bracer thingies are to cover up and bind the bites from feeding her. He's getting sicker from her continued feeding. Anyway I haven't decided if it's a lame idea yet, but I did up a picture of him just for the heck of it, because I was working with some materials I haven't really used much.

The background is just a wash of tea, then the linework is in deluted sepia ink with a dip pen. and I coloured it with watercolour, gouche, and coloured pencil. Kind of a boring pose, but I'm just trying to come up with a costume for him.
