littlejohn's fantasy art (Updated 6/12/03)

Thanks everyone; I know I'm lagging. Here are two recent non-fantasy paintings. One is Bullseye and the other I did after watching Resident Evil last night.

Very nice, littlejohn. I love the colours you use.

more?

please?

Sialia: thanks for the wakeup call. I've been kinda busy.

I did manage to submit something for the next issue of Asgard. If you didn't see Issue 6, I have some work in there too.

This time, I did an illustration of a greedy "gold elf." Here's a sneak peek of some sketches and an early silhouette. Hopefully they'll use the finished painting. Either way, I'll post a hi-res version of it after the magazine comes out.

Here's another painting I worked on last week for a competition. I didn't post it because frankly I'm not that fond of it. It's supposed to be a post-apocalyptic gladiator with a familiar; but I just couldn't get into the assignment.

Hopefully I'll get around to finishing that portrait of Nolin I started...

D'oh! You said " I just couldn't get into the assignment," but you must have surely meant "I toned down the energy of my fantasy style in favor of a more dampened effect, in keeping with the setting milleu". Right?



I really think you're getting better with local color. Maybe it's just me, but that post-apoclyptic gladiator is really nice.

I'm looking forward to the gold elf as well, once it goes to press.

Well, at the very least, I've been trying to give you cinematic moments.

 

[littlejohn]

I know. I read but I don't contribute; what a lurker!

I have to work on b&w stuff this week.

 

[littlejohn]

I forgot to put this one up last week; inspired by PirateCat's campaign (as was the last one). Special thanks to the players.

My latest (last?) attempt at a portrait of Nolin, KidCthulhu's character. I must have 10 failed starts at this guy. I'm not sure he's really done, but here he is.

Thanks to (contact) for the Peter Frampton tip; this portrait is loosely based on a photo.

I think Nolin has had lip-enhancement surgery and liposuction. (Musicians are *so vain*)

Looks great! You got skills-- the proof is in the hands.

When are we going to do some life drawing?
