Been a bit since I've posted anything. Lazy. I've had a couple of these done for a bit, but I just finished the one in the dress today. So these are character concepts for a space naval setting, where we have a representative of each faction. One note, I've been working a lot more with a...

I've been working on a game, Other Worlds, off and on for about 8 months. I finished the cover a week and half ago, but was waiting for Mark (Humphreys) to give the go-ahead for posting and some guerrilla marketing synergy, linking up with his threads. Other Worlds is a multi-genre role...

Continuing on with the Space Navies uniform commission, here is Tingwok. I was mistaken, there will be 7 of these, not 6. One of the challenges that I will be facing on this one is that all of the figures will be facing "the camera" as per patron request. Keeping that interesting across 7...

Been awhile since I've posted anything. I just finished a massive cover with a ton of detail. Took weeks. Hopefully I can show it soon. And I'm in the midst of NDA projects, including card art for L5r. So what I can show has been slim. But I got these! First up, it was my mom's 65th...

I've been working on a very large cover for Other Worlds in oil...so that has been eating some time. I've also been working on a fun project, but it is NDA, something kinda different for me. I'll share when I can. I've got some card art coming up and some interiors for publishers... so it's...

Been meaning to put these up for awhile. The book, Totems of the Dead, has been out for a couple of weeks now.... and I really want to give it a plug. It is a really cool sword and sorcery setting using a mythical Americas (North and South). The setting is for Savage Worlds and I've read...

First up, a couple of character concept commissions from long time patron, Death Tribble. (Kinda mouthful sentence there....sheesh.) Anyway, he wanted an evil wonder woman type playing with short, platinum hair against the Amazon princess black locks, skull motifs instead of american flag...

Well, photobucket blocked that illo. I thought the little magic, brass thingees on the nipples would suffice. Guess I was wrong. Let's try this instead:

A trio of private commissions. The Smilodon and the Type 5 demon futurized are both carrying over the technique that I did for the "kitty vs. ogre" just above. That of using pencil to shade on top of a minimal ink line. Then scan, color using mostly Painter, but some Photoshop. It takes a...

Thought I would show a bit of behind-the-scenes on this entry. This is done for the Anonymous challenge over at ArtOrder. You can see other folks entries, as well as a link to the challenge itself here: Anonymous ArtOrder Challenge | The ArtOrder Basically, we had to ape a cross between an...

I went on a mini-honeymoon in the middle of the week. My wife, Millie, managed to trade some hours with other faculty (she is a professor of nursing) and all of a sudden, we had a few days to string together. We had gone to Puerto Rico, but it was mostly to visit family, Millie and I didn't...

This was a bit of an experiment. I have a style/technique I use for interiors off and on, for grayscale printing. It is a combo of watercolor and liquid acrylic. I thought I should try and use it as an underpainting for a digital colored piece. I had this multi-figured private commission to...

Time for the next artorder challenge. I've been working on this in dribs and drabs over the last couple of weeks. Thought I would show the beginning steps before I take it to oils, after which it will have to wait for it to dry before I can scan it. The Artorder breakdown is to pick 1 of 3...

Now, up, something a bit different for me... I got to do 3 brothers, for a modern occult game, and they are Seelie or Elves or something. Wanted the pose/photograph look as this actually happened in the patron's game, the posing for a photograph. Thought that was kinda cool! These works are...

I've been doing a sword and sorcery campaign online of late. Called the Swords of a Dying Empire. The Actual Play report is here: (LoA) Swords of a Dying Empire... and we are about 10 episodes in. Using Legend of Anglerre as the ruleset. Mostly, I'm doing the occasional map sketch that is...

A few folks have asked for some different types of originals and prints to be put up at Fine Art, here: Storn Cook - Fine Art . I've just kinda lost this week and haven't gotten the time together to get those up. I hope to the beginning of next week. So check back there soon! Another Death...

First up, I wanted to talk about something I've been meaning to do for YEARS!!! And that is to offer originals and prints for sale. The website Fine Art America has made this very easy for me to do. So, if you ever wanted an Storn original, on the paper, canvas, board, with real paint, pencil...

A cover done for small press. Digital over pencil. Used mostly Painter 11 and a bit of of photoshop cs2.

Here is another one from the fertile mind of Death Tribble. Maybe we should say "fermented". As I was drawing this, I kept thinking along the lines of: "In disguise, mild-mannered, vegetarian, history professor Archibald Reach teaches at a major metropolitan university. But when the clarion...

Here was a really fun one for me. I was asked for a steampunk horse. Something I've never done before. I think it came out pretty well, but your guys are the real judges. I'm hip deep in a full background, 3 figures, large landscape, lot of detail, commission and it will probably take...
