Storn's art for swipin'!

[Storn]

Okay, first up, a private commission for a Forgotten Realms character.

Next, it is Ten Ton Studio Contest Time. I did win last week, so I decided to nominate this week's challenge as one of my personal fav artists: Mark Schultz and his Cadillac and Dinosaurs for the subject matter.

Here is the link to thread to check out the other artist's versions...

I've been busy putting together 3 Warlord cards for their anniversary set. Doing oil paints is very time consuming. But they are done and I can get back to the large pile of commissions waiting for me.

Here is the first:

Here is a pretty stripped down martial artist type for Death Tribble. Nothing really fancy on this one.

But sometimes, that's okay.

A bit of a change of pace from the usual elves, wizards and superheroes... This is Dorothy (from Oz), but the client requested that she was older and that she have silver boots from the books...not ruby from the movies.

I had fun with this one.

Hope y'all like:

I think this is an un-typical fantasy duo. The patron had really neat visual ideas, even down to the poses. It is the first time she has commissioned anything from me... but I was impressed by these two's descriptions.

I am in the process of working on interiors for John Wick's (7th Sea, Legend of the 5 Rings game designer) House of the Blooded. Which I also had the opportunity to be part of the playtest of the rules and setting. It is a great game.

Playing a game you are to illustrate, makes it a ton of fun. Working with someone like John, is even more fun on top of it. I'm to do 13 illustrations for each of the 13 chapters. Because we did NOT want to show DIRECTLY what the ven look like (the culture that HotB is about), we are doing it as a series of archaeologist sketches and notes. Show indirectly through a cameo and a wall painting, what the ven are... and hopefully, leaving a lot to the imagination of each table that plays the game.

Coming up with the notes is a hoot. Because we can be so academic... and because we are purposively jumping to wrong conclusions.. which you can discover when you play the game.

John has given me permission to post some of my art as I go along on this assignment. So I'm sharing a bit of current passion. I hope it intrigues... and oh yeah, one more note... the runes are an alphabet I made up. The key will be in the book.

Here is John's blog on his game, check it out, its fun and informative:

Continuing on with some more art from John Wick's upcoming Houses of the Blooded, here are two more pics.

The first one is for the chapter on Risk:

The second one is the chapter on revenge:
