spider_jerusalem: Thanks! I think Valendo came out a little differently than I imagined him too. But once I started painting that's what happened. ;) He's such a great character concept.

darklance: I don't know if Piratecat has seen these yet. Maybe he'll wander over here sometime. *shrug* [edit: oops... there he is! wow.]

carnifex: I'll definitely check out your thread. I don't know where I'd come up with ideas if it weren't for the story hours.

Nothing to post today, though. But look for some black and white stuff in the near future. I have to beef up that side of my portfolio... and some action shots... and some architecture... and more monsters...

Thanks again for the kind words.

*wibbles happily at the mere thought of someone doing art of this quality for his story hour*

[Spider curses himself for not having the gall to ask that in his first post]

It's a pleasure to see people like Aleax and Morningstar brought to life exactly as I imagined them when I was reading - I now wish I hadn't given up painting when I started university. Ack.

Great stuff!

Velendo looks a little more gaunt than I always imagined him, but he has gotten older since Arcade was a lad, and the pressures of putting up with proxy-hood and the Defenders have been considerable. The long-suffering feel is perfect.

The necropede and Ghouleax are wonderful as well. Can't wait for more!
 

Very Awesome......Love your technique.
Nice to see all this talent on this site, really gives me ambition and drive to do better.
 

Wow!

I'm impressed!

Nice work

I did a few illustrations inspired by another famous story hour (Wulf), but the few who saw them know I'm on a totaly different (ie, lower) skill level... :p

Hey, Littlejohn! I'm blown away- those paintings are wonderful. You really know how to make your brushwork interesting, and I admire your color sense.

A few questions--

1. What is the 'museum card' info for these pieces? What size and media are they?

2. How do you transfer them to digital media, and what digital program are you using? Photoshop? How much are you working them digitally?

3. How do you determine your pallate?

Thanks for sharing, by the way. These are outstanding. Piratecat was so stoked he emailed me to have me come look. We share some aesthetic sensabilities. Check it out: www.spfpost.com/rekatorium.

You're in the Bay?

I'm also totally in awe. These are very, very beautiful.

Forgive me for being completely blunt, but who ARE you? Have we met?

I know you have met the players, or seen their photos, yes? Tell me you didn't imagine the look on Velendo's face from whole cloth.

It is too perfect.

(Bandeeto, remember that Velendo has lost some considerable CON --or was it STR?-- since we played in Boston. I remember that something happened to him, although I can't recall quite what. Perhaps it was the conversion to 3rd Ed?)

And the Necropede is . . . is . . . words utterly fail me.

I have fantasized for months that somewhere out there, there is an artist with the ability and interest to convert some of the Storyhour to a graphic novel format.

My fantasy has just gotten a whole lot more elaborate.

More, more, more, please.
