I am in total agreement with Inconsequenti-Al. Sounds like a Gary Gygax thing to do. Deliberately plotting to kill off a character seems very harsh and cruel. In D&D, characters become so tied to the players and it becomes difficult for many people to not take things personal. Let the game...

Great again Storn: As I and others have said numerous times already, great artwork! Are you working on any commissioned projects right now for any game companies? I have enjoyed seeing your work with Hero Games and would be interested in any recent work or upcoming projects you have...

Artist Brett Booth Khan: I just recently got back to looking through this messageboard and was enjoying the posts you have made of the artwork by Brett Booth. Very very good, obviously. When I first saw it, I thought it might be Todd McFarlane or David Finch. Keep the posts coming! Collin

Redman is right After reading Rich Redman's article and the responses in this discussion group, I can only conclude that he is 100% correct. You say adventure modules published today are no good? So you create your own. Well then, there is the vicious circle right there. But don't you...

Hexes vs. Squares It depends on much you use miniatures in your game. WotC seems to be trying to steer everyone towards that end (maybe because they have a new line of miniatures coming out soon?), but I know lots of gamers, including myself, who didn't use mats or miniatures and got along...

Actually it is Green Arrow, not Green Lantern. LOVED the new artwork - Silk. As we used to say back in the day, "AWESOME!" -Collin

Re: Re: VERY nice work My friend is Ande Parks. We went to high school together and did a comic book fanzine back in the early 80's during that time that was just a local thing. He stuck it out and is now actually a professional. His main job right now is inking Green Arrow, with Phil...

VERY nice work Storn: I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your work. I have been collecting comics for over 30 years and have a friend who is a professional inker with DC - this is some VERY nice work. I especially liked the guy wielding the two kukris. They make wonderful...

Drakmar: This is great! I can't wait to see your finished products! I agree with some of the folks that I see elves using more "soft" styles of martial arts, e.g., aikido, hap ki-do, jujitsu, etc., whereas I see half-orcs and dwarves using more "hard" styles, like karate, tae kwon-do, and...

Andrew: I agree with Darius. You're off to a good start. It looks like you have your color schemes well picked out. I also know what you mean about blending. I'm still struggling with that. I have only been painting regularly now for less than 2 years. I highly recommend the following...

Kip: Another great round of pics! You are certainly growing in your craft. I see some difference between the first set of drawings you did and these new ones. The ink wash does give them a different look. I would appreciate it if you could do a drawing of one or both of the following...

I still use inks, but I am not as proficient with them as I'd like to be. One additional problem to the control issue is knowing how much to thin them. I agree with your technique about using a dry brush to soak up any excess wash or wash that gets into places you don't want it. I seem to do...

Benham: Go to the following website and you will find a horde of websites related to painting miniatures. http://miniature-painting.net/links_painting.html Word of caution - not all of these sites still exist at the weblinks that are on this page, but most do and offer some good tips, some...

I prefer to use less washes rather than more, simply because the control you have with ink washes is less than with painting or drybrushing. Even with using Future floor wax or dishwashing liquid, it's still too fluid and can go where you don't want it to go. I do check on the Reaper website...

Toe: Thanks again for the tips. I have been investigating some of the websites devoted to miniature figure painting. Clearly there are personal preferences out there - as many as there are painters! I just picked up some gray primer spray today, so I plan to give that a try sometime soon. I...

Thanks Toe, Darius: Thanks for the tips and info. I have checked out the websites you mentioned. 1 quick question: do you normally prime in black or in white? I tend to use black more, but I do use white for certain figures, for instance skeletons, most wizards, and animals like horses and...

Toe: Thanks for your reply and tips. I took a painting class last Fall for beginngers at my local game/hobby store as well, and it helped me immediately to grow by leaps and bounds. What I need now is an intermediate or possibly advanced course to make the next leap. I appreciate anything you...

Toe: Great painting! I thank you so much for sharing your craft and finished product with those of us novices on the messageboard. I am still relatively new to this hobby, but I love it! It's a creative outlet for me and relaxes me. I just wish I had a better place in my house that I could...

Convinced I must admit I was not enthused about the new format, but having gotten used to it over the past several days, I'd say it's fine. I haven't really missed the bulleted items like I thought I would. Keep up the great work, Collin
