Brak's sketches etc...

Well, didn't have time to do anything last night. Edits to the freelance webwork is chappin' my butt.
Quickly sketched the two rogues for Drawmack. I'm going to lay out all those characters and then finish them all it once in an effort to be consistant.
Drawmack - One question: can you give me a little more description on the ferale homebrew race?
Here's the quicky on the rogues. Seem to be sharing some "professional tips"

Brak,
Do you want to focus on characters or anything ?
I'm always looking for artwork to enhance my story hour (it's in French, so no point in checking it out if you don't speak the language, unfortunately...)
Things I can think of :
- The Baron of Llambeth is a pretty major NPC. Tall and fairly regal but dressed in simple good quality clothes. I figure him with light hair and possibly a short beard. He looks stern.
- The Libraries of the Temples of Mezrâ are huge libraries with study alcoves on the sides. Each of them has a huge egg in its center in which are said to be imprisoned the essence of dragons. They look kind'a like veined marble eggs, only about 3 feet tall...
- The Baron of Razem is a cool future villain. He's a short man who looks sickly, a powerful wizard, and happens to be a vampire...
- His "sidekick" is Pedrus, the captain of the Razem townguard. He is sustained in his evil powers by drinking the blood of the Baron. He's a tall, pale man with long black hair and feverish eyes.
BTW, I really love your drawing style. I think you would find much to enjoy in French comics (maybe you already do ?). I like the fact that it's not "heroic" per se.
Great Stuff !

Sammael99 - I look forward to being able to do some of these! Cool ideas. Wish I could read french so I could read your story hour! Hmmm... The Libraries of the Temples of Mezrâ might be interesting to try in Bryce...
As for French comics, I've had very limited exposure, unfortunately. I've read stuff by Moebius, of course, and the odd thing in Metal Hurlant way back when. I'd love to try and get something new, as comics seem to be treated fundamentally different in Europe as a whole. Any suggestions?

The problem with French comics is they're in French, of course... If you're open to non fantasy stuff, I strongly recommend Lewis Trondheim (http://www.fantagraphics.com/artist/trondheim/trondheim.html)
I would also recommend the most humorous French fantasy series called "Dungeon" (guess where that comes from
) : http://www.nbmpub.com/humor/trondheim/dungeon/dungeonhome.htmlAs for the more graphically serious stuff, I have no idea what's available in the US. I'll do some checking up and let you know !
Wheeee!!!

Thanks, Brak, he looks GREAT! As usual, I love your faces. Excellent pose too. I was wondering how you were going to arrange them without either drawing Conaill from the back, or having the warg block the view.
Two details, if you don't mind:
1) Would it be possible to make it a little clearer that he is wearing a breastplate? Some extra shading at his neck and/or a ridge at his right shoulder perhaps?
2) Any way to make it clear that the trajectory of the greatsword goes through the warg? The wound itself looks like it's probably hidden by the warg's neck. Maybe a longer streak of blood trailing the sword, in an arc from the goblin through the warg's neck? Or maybe just changing the angle of the existing streak might do the trick. Would some of those "woosh" lines to indicate movement look too cartoonish?
