Oh, and that would be a big "YES!" to the offer of the step by step. I would love to see how you do this.

I've always preferred drawing media, so take this with a grain of salt, but . . .

But look for some black and white stuff in the near future.

Your color work would be luscious as a greyscale digital file, and since they seem to be digitally created, it would be a no-brainer to accomplish.

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.

Excellent idea! Even if it was done for just for the portfolio, due to story rights etc., it would be awesome to see.

littlejohn has the right style!

Wow. It's awesome what a Piratecat cross-link does for a thread. Thanks for all the comments. I'm so lucky to participate in a community like this.

(contact): Yeah, I live in Oakland, CA. Most of these were painted in Photoshop after doing a sketch in pencil. The portraits were all painted at 1200x1800. As for the palette, it's pretty intuitive (read: random).

Siala: I don't think I've met anybody on these boards, but who knows? I agree some of these story hours would make interesting novelizations, graphic or otherwise. I also like to imagine them as radio plays.

btw. If you haven't already, check out (contact)'s stuff. The watercolors are fantastically moody. Siala's thread is, of course, required reading.

Now I better do some drawing, eh? I'll take a stab at a how-to when I get a sec. Thanks again; it means a lot.

I like your pics. I think your technique is pretty cool, it gives the portraits a lot of energy even thought they are pretty much standing still.

Great work! I particularly like the Necropede picture.

I like the necropede.

I'm waiting to see what he does with the flames on/around Nolin. Given your Turner-esqe color and brush work, I can't wait to see what you can do with flames.

Please, please, pretty please!

Do you need some source photography for Nolin, David? 'Cuz I can point you in the right direction.

Hey, Kid-C, who is Turner? URL?

 

[littlejohn]

I've always wanted to do a portrait of Nolin. I'm also curious what his hair is going to look like. Any tips on what he looks like would be great.

(contact): You can see some Turner at Yahoo's list of Turner sites.

feeb: Thanks! I've admired your work for a while over at eatpoo.

In the meantime, here's a quickie I did last night of what might be a Trillith. Those story hour posts aren't up anymore are they? Does anybody have a stat block?
