A collapsing baton for a player in my campaign.

Here is your ~<<< version Ferret. I think I might take a break from organic designs for now... But you never know...

Thri-kreen Kyorkcha.

I like it, and here it comes. But the shaft with the spikes of isn't wavy or sword like, just the tip, the part of the shaft with spikes on is cylindrical, the spikes need to face out all around the shaft. Sorry, I have little bits of it in my head, and every drawing is geting closer, but I might use this for somethiung aswell.

Oh and its the right -<<<.

I had an idea, you know caltrops(crows feet kind) its like them with the stack up with the points fully imbedded in to the next! I got it!

Ok, that helps quite a bit. I'll see what I can come up with.

Yup, the spikes are "3D"

Death Orchid, inspired by an orchid.

Death Orchid

Ooo, that's nasty. Gives me an unpleasant vision of the weilders it does.

I haven't seen all the work you've posted in this thread, only the very first, and those on page 16. I must say, you do show a lot of improvement between then and now. You are getting better at technical illustration, keep up the good work.

Now for some questions: Have you done any work using regular art paper? Pen and ink, pencil, graphite, bristol board, etc. What about life studies? Landscapes, trees, animals, and so on and so forth. What art background do you have?

Thank you. I think the Death Orchid would be perfect for an Outsider.

Thank you again. As hard as it is for me, I think I agree with you. I have gotten better. I guess practice does make perfect (or at least better). Not to mention it's helped my stress level quite a bit.

I haven't worked in another media since about 1978. I didn't sketch at all for about 15 years. I took it back up once I had a scanner and could share. Something about letting others see my work got me sketching again. Even if not all the comments I get are constructive or even pleasant. (People on USENET can be nasty...)

The last formal training I had was in 1978. My freshman year of High School. Since then it's just been practice and looking where ever I can for inspiration. I have considered taking courses again. I have an desire to improve my sketches and try my hand at ceramics.

I've been trying to branch out into more organic forms. Eventually I want to do full-fledged animals and plant life. Scenery and portraits are beyond me at this point I think. But I can always dream...

My only background has been a creative spirit and a few chances to express it. I was Class Artist in Junior High. I was Class Writer in HS. But now, now I like to sketch weapons. To really push were the forms can go. Or take original angles on existing forms. I think I even succeed sometimes.
