My wife's character art

[mythusmage]

I have to ask, Jeremy, does Leslie channel Arthur Rackham?

Overall, I like. I do have a pair of quibbles with Bocata however.

1. He needs a deeper jawline. His lower jaw looks a tad too thin.

2. The tail could lose a bit of weight. Looks like something you'd find on a lizard man three times his size.

Other than that, good pieces of work.

BTW, hope you can raise the money needed for art school soon. Check around to see if you can get a grant or scholarship somewhere.

One more thing. Have you checked out the art courses at your local community college?

Heh. That's cause he's not a lizard man. He's a larcetan. Custom Ersadian race that one of our players made up. They are leapers, using tail and legs to get airborn, then attacking with tail and feat. Their arms and mouths are generally less pronounced then their lower body, and certainly less than the very upper body claw/claw/bite oriented lizardmen.

Not that you could have known of course.

Grants and scholarships we managed to net two for her, she filled out some essays for some others but we didn't find any submission art entries. Well, save for the L Ron Hubbard one, but that one wanted extremely detailed black and white line art such as you'd find in a paperback and that's not her favorite medium.

Community college didn't offer enough night courses and being as there is the kid to raise and work to be done, night is the only available time for education. At the rate of 1 or 2 classes a semester it would have been 7 years or so before she would have her degree.

She has started with a graphic design major at the Art Institute of Dallas and we're hoping we'll be able to keep her there. Wish us luck!

Well, as AT&T Broadband became Comcast and saw fit to delete my website without notice, I lost all the wonderful pictures we had setup. I'll try to get another site up now that Leslie has doubled up as a web designer too.

Meanwhile, there are a pair of new pics over in my new story hour at this link.

We hope to get a few pictures taken of the minis she has painted for the game as well.

I'm so sorry that I didn't have a chance to view this thread before all the pictures fell out of it. I reallly liked the ones in your storyhour.

Have you thought about setting up an ENWorld art gallery? It'd be a great place to display her stuff. I know there are artists who have posted in this forum and over there who have found paying gigs. There are a lot of publishers who hang out around here. Also, if you reposted them over there, I'd get to see them.

I really hope you mean you lost your display site and not the actual files . . .

Ooo oo! Good idea! *runs home to post*

yay!

don't forget--you have to log in to ENWorld seperately from logging in to the messageboards before you can post to a new gallery!

Cookies must already be set on your machine--your gallery looks beautiful.

Thanks so much for putting these up. I love them!

Time to get cracking on fixing all those broken links...

And adding the link to your sig, with maybe something that indicates she's a professional looking for work . . . can't hurt to advertise!

I can easily imagine her work on/in products.
