(contact): Yeah, that Joan was done from memory.

Here's a teaser (a detail from a work in progress):

Issue #7 of Asgard Magazine is out. There's a ton of cool stuff in there. Check it out.

As promised, here's a link to a full-sized version of the Gold Elves illustration I did:

I'm just finishing up a piece for issue #3 of the Backara Herald (it's late

). More later.

WOW! Boy I tell you what, between you, Kip, the Doc, and some of the others who's names I can't spell off hand. You guys really impress the heck outa me! I'll just keep practicing and plucking along, lol.......Someday, maybe I'll impress a few. Until then, I 'm surely having fun trying, and enjoy checking out y'alls art!

Keep them coming!

Incidently, I skipped around the room doing a happy dance and cackling when I first saw the Gold Elf. It's much more stylish, nasty-looking and definitely cooler than what I've been carrying around in my head and trying to explain for the past few years, and it's definately coming out next time I introduce the race to a new group of players.

Many, many thanks

arwink: Are you Peter? I'm glad you liked it. I realized when I turned it in that it might be a little different than what you had in mind. I can rationalize it by saying that I was trying to add a little something, but really these drawings tend to take on a life of their own. Nice article.

Thanks for the link--I hadn't checked out Asgard before. I really, really enjoyed it! The article that went with the Gold Elves illustration was every bit as good as the picture. And that's saying something.

Yep, that's me.

As a side note, I originally figured the article was going to appear without illustration. I'm not entirely sure why. I remember scraping in as close as possible to the deadline RW set for submissions, then no-one seemed all that keen on it when the call for art went up on the main boards. Needless to say, finding your illustration there when I opened Asgard pretty much made my day.

Very, very cool.

LJ, I do like your style. Most impressionistic. Have you any formal training?

You are free to try your hand at one of my basilisks, BTW>

Sorry I've been AWOL. I've been polishing up my portfolio and web site to send to a few publishers. Wish me luck(?)!

Anyways, I'm not sure it's done yet, but I made a painting inspired by Mara from Piratecat's campaign. I may work some more on it at some point.

If anybody has feedback on my portfolio, please feel free to send me some mail.

mythusmage: I have a degree in architecture, I keep up with my life drawing and I take classes at the local community collge. But no art school...yet.
