Grell

I tried to clean it up as best as possible, lol...Finially got my sketch done, without anymore help from my 2yr old...

This is a very rough draft of the grell we encountered in my husbands campaign..Tonan and his trusty companion Thor are fighting for their lives until the rest of us can come to his aid.....

Hope I have an easier time painting it on PSP, than I did drawing with pencil....At least the "undo" button works better than a cheap pencil eraser, lol....

Tempermental Yahoo...

Sorry if some of my pictures occasionally don't show up.

Several of my posts are hosted on Yahoo! photos, which sometimes has an attitude problem. I just went through every one of my posts and verified that all of the URL's are good. So, if you want to see a picture on this thread that for some reason is unavailable, please check back later. It'll probably "magically" reappear. If you're impatient, click here to see all of the pictures in my Yahoo! gallery.

*NOTE: Not all of the art in the Yahoo! gallery is mine. There are quite a few pictures that my husband downloaded as visual aids for our RttToEE campaign. That fact is fairly obvious once you see what's there, but I just didn't want to seem like I was claiming any undue credit.

Oops, see below....sorry.

Grell, Tonan and Thor

Ok, my sketch has color, background, light source AND an action, am I missing anything? How am I doing?

That's a pretty cool pic..that elf looks like he's in trouble!

 

[Malessa]

Thanks Kip!
Yeah Tonan and his companion Thor were having a hard way to go, it being a small area and the rest of us trying to climb narrow stairs to aid them. Most, not all, of my sketches go along with my husbands campaign RtToEE, you can read what he has written thus far, in the Story Hour. Although, I jumped the gun on the pic of the grell, he is a few chapters behind. With work, school, our children and things, we stay quite busy.....

The colored version came out really good.

Nicely done!

 

[Malessa]

Thank you....

Thanks for the support and interest, everybody. I finally got my hubby to put all my pics up on my own gallery. This accomplishes two things... it gets all my art work on one page, AND, it eliminates the problem with the tempermental Yahoo links. Come check it out!

Some Old Art

Stumbled across some old art of mine from years ago (won't say how many). I think it was a doodle, it's not very good, but thought I'd share anyway.....

Ah, looseleaf notebook paper. Those were the days.

Your work is coming along nicely Malessa.

BTW some of my fondest memories are of me drawing with my mother in those years before I started grade school. I'd address and envelope myself and send some of the pictures to my grandmother who'd write back glowing words of encouragement. Eventually we moved to the town my grandmother lived in and she taught me piano lessons; I was about twelve. When I was in high school my mother and I took pottery and watercolor classes together, over the summer, at the community college.

I can't say exactly how but I believe I am a better person because of the interest that these two fine women took in encouraging my creativity. Today I am neither an artist or a pianist but I have imagination.
