Hey Kip, can you do my character?
My first charcater is a wild elf druid with with bladed-hooked staff (a shepard's staff) with a Hawk and a Black Bear for a companion. Long black hair, a little spikey, shoulder length with white streaks on the side/front (think the long hair version of Doctor Strange or Rogue from the new animated show). He would be also carring an over the shoulder bag or shashal (spelling?), long spear and a scimatar. He will be wearing a leather armor in style of wild elves would, similar to native american indians.
My second chartacter is humanoid Owl Inventor, a steampunk dress or steampunk toga (roman republic), mostly wearing victorian gogles. He would arms, 2-3 talon fingers with a thumb. He does have wings. with bag of holding.
Thanks!

Greetings Kip,
I just thought I'd check back in and see how things were going. I see the cluster of pics you posted on page 9 started showing some nice use of ink and contrast - quite professional looking. Brought out the fur texture on a couple of figures really well. How long were those taking to create?
Switching to ink washes also seems to be working out for you. I hope you can find an affordable solution to the wrinkling problem, as the washes give your work a very nice finish - a softness mixed with the crisp line-work. I hope you'll continue to work in that media. With practice, I think it could give your work a competive edge over some of the strictly black & white interior art going around in game books. How long are the washes taking?
I'd pester you about taking a swing at Annida and Boranx (back on page 6) again with your new media, but it would be strictly at your leisure
.
Are you still doing commissions?

Glad you liked the washes. I was flipping through some old planescape books looking at some of the DiTerlizzi pics, and they inspired me to try some washes. I'm pretty happy with they way they are coming along, but I've got a way to go before I'm as good as I want to be with them. It takes me maybe 1/2 an hour to do a single character sketch with a really quick basic wash, all together. But to do a more detailed and complicated pic with washes can take considerably longer, especialy if there is a background involved. And there is more chance of something going horribly wrong with a brush than a pen, though, and tougher to fix a mistake. I did that batch there just to practice that technique. I think they have a little more depth than just the line drawings, but those only take me about 10-15 minutes. For important work, I use bristol illustration board instead of typing paper; it doesnt wrinkle, but its not cheap.
I am still doing commissions, too
wow, i looked through all the pages in this thread and all i have to say is WOW! These are probably the best picks ive seen for pcs. And the whole point that u did full figures instead of just a portfolio makes them even better!!! someday, when i get i a long time on-going game, ill have to look u up and have u make me a pick, ill pay u of course.... WOW, keep drawin man! lol, usually people say u can only get better form experience, but i dont really know what u could improve on, these are great!
Also, kip if you would, could u please make a human picture of this character... he is perfect for my human 2 bladed sword ranger, except he is an elf... Also, he has a brown bear companion that i would like added. if u could, it would be GREATLY appreciated, but i realize im last on the list, so im not in a hurry, i just love ur artwork soo much!

Strange Request: GODS
Hi Kip,
Your stuff is amazingly good! And you are amazingly generous!
I've got a request for you, but it's not for a PC sketch. See, I've got this Pantheon, and it'd be great if it were illustrated. I found a bunch of pictures on the 'Net, but I have no idea if it's legal for me to display them -- and, it's not nearly as good as having real pictures of each God.
However, the current pictures will serve as a guide, if you're interested. There are six Gods, detailed here:
Demon Haunted Earth Pantheon
If I ever get around to publishing the setting, you'll get credit & money, too!

I'm sure you get as much flattery as you could want in this thread...
Have some more. It is -astonishing- that an artist of your calibre gives away works like this. And heartening. Fight the capitalist sytem ! Woo-hoo !
I'd like to submit a character for you to draw, in your inimitable style
Ryhem Damasqar
Male goblyn (which is a tall, lean, human-sized, angular species of high developed-goblin).
29 y/o (which is late thirties in goblin years).
6'2" tall, very lean and gauntly muscled. Hard, angular features, like a cruel-featured elf. Black, almond shaped eyes. Pointed, elf-like ears. Green skin, lower canines are slightly longer and pointed, like an upside-down vampire's fangs (in memory of their orcish ancestors tusks).
Hair and beard looks like Daniel Day-Lewis's in the Crucible (http://us.imdb.com/Gallery?0115988&source=ss), but the hair is shoulder length and the individual strands are thicker, like wool. Has a bedraggled look.
Wears long robe and coat, fairly nondescript and worn. Dual-wields two weapons; a very long, straight bladed longsword (about 4.5' blade), and a dagger with a straight blade and a wide, backwards-curved (ie, back around the hand) crosspiece studded with two small blades on each side, used as a parrying/weapon breaker dagger.
He's a very acomplished air mage, so his coat and surrounding dust and gravel may be whipped by a wind around him.
If you draw him, you'll be my hero, and I'll send you a whole box of Caramel Stuffed Kittens.
