Another Immortals Handbook thread

[Wolv0rine]

Funny this came up, actually. I had seriously considered contacting you about this very issue, but haven't because my frelling scanner's broken. So I can't pick up any illustration work until I can get a new one.

On the other hand, when I do get a new scanner, I may still contact you.

Hey Wolv0rine dude!

I think that bottom link in you sig is defunct, also some of the gallery links don't work either, though I did manage to see some of your (I assume) pencil studies. Your figure drawing is pretty good, do you have people posing for any of those? Do you ever work in other mediums?

Hey, I can draw too (planning to go to an art academy in the future, anyway) XP

I think I've got my site linked in my profile.. but those are all quite old drawings (I haven't bothered updating my site that much, and I don't draw as much as I used to). If you want, I could show you some more (newer) stuff o_o

Though, I'm probably just as bad with putting a date on getting something finished as you, Craig XO

Still need to make a tattoo for a classmate of mine, and I also need to make something for math class (some Nietsche-like thing), but I guess I could make a few if you wanted me to (reading the descriptions of some of those beasties made me feel like drawing, anyway) :B

Hiya Kavon matey!

Good luck with that!

I'd be interested in seeing some of your new stuff, certainly.

I really liked the line art for Gorand:

You can get away with it when you are the boss, not the hired help though!

Well I have probably got Volume One of the Bestiary all but sewn up with the exception of the cover. I have been running ideas for the cover over and over again - what monster or monsters do people thing are the iconic volume #1 creatures I wonder? What would people like to see on the cover? Like I said, I have ideas of my own (probably too many) but I am not sure what to do for the best.

For the cover you need something that really demonstrates massive epicness. This means you need somthing BIG and POWERFUL, perhaps even a unique entity. What about something like Nimrod dueling with a higher echalon angel, like a Cherub, with the tower of Babel in the background, and various dieties looking down from the clouds, perhaps frightened?

 

[Kavon]

Yes, yes! Big and powerful

An angel vs. something big and nasty is certainly a nice thing to have on the cover *nods*


As for the more recent artsy stuff (like, from within a year's time), I'll email some links and stuff later :3

You know, you're right. I'd completely forgotten about that link still being in my sig. I'll have to remove it. (The domain name got yoinked out from under the Brood *just* as it expired)

Egads, I have broken links?! G'aahhh! I know a fair number of the thumbnails don't lead to a larger version (So many HD crashes, so much lost art scanned. The originals are... err.. packed somewhere from the last move).

As for models, I maintain a rather extensive collection of pics (yeah, sure 3/5ths of it's porn, but it's models darnit!) but sadly have yet to have a live model. Those sorts tend to want to be paid and whatnot. They're as bad as I am, I swear.

Mediums... I'm primarily a pencil monkey, although I do work in ink at times. But if you mean colored mediums; not yet, although I've been meaning to teach myself watercolors when I can manage to afford a set and take the time to.

Hi Fieari mate!

I'll see what I can do, I like the idea of having an angel on the cover (since its one of the iconic dimensional beings of that volume), maybe a Seraphim would stand out most.

I think the two things you need to address then is the scale of the piece and probably some sort of adversary...mmmm...I may do a Seraphim versus a Primal Elementar (the two main dimensional forces of Volume #1 if it ever gets to a print version will be the Angels and the Elementars*) over a mortal battlefield (to give it scale).

*I'll add Elementars (and about another 10 monsters) into the print version of Volume 1. Although the Akishra and Cogent, both Pseudonaturals, would be moved to Volume #3, although you are still getting a net gain of +15 monsters.

I also like the idea of two covers (or front and back illustrations), one with a Seraphim over-looking an angelic throng, the other an Elementar over-looking an assemblage of evil.

Pay Pal

Greetings,


I don't want to start a flame war or anything, but when I typed in Pay Pal on Google, the main site came up and at least 3 or more anti-Pay Pal sites. After reading through them it has me on pause.

I was ready to send money for the Beastiery Preview but, my only card is used to pay for most of my bills. I am definitely not a half-empty glass thinker, but I can't afford to have those type of problems with my account.

With that being said, have you looked into a merchant account like the one on the anti-paypal site so we could deal with you directly?

http://www.paypalsucks.com/


Or how about some special arrangement with RPG now or even this site. I have dealt with both and would feel much better supporting you through them.

Thanks for your time

Well, I can only speak from my limited experience with paypal, so far I have had no trouble at all with them. I wonder if anyone who has sent me money via paypal has experienced any problems?

Once I have the art completed I expect to have the Bestiary on rpg.now and similar places. So its probably worth your while waiting for that if you have any doubts at all.
