Description Whew, got that done! I really like the working-from-grayscale technique, I think it turned out really well!

One more, and then I'm sending my portfolio out to see if I can get any work! Wish me luck!

Damn, that's a lucky roll! Haha, our group has a house rule that two 20s in a row is a max-damage critical, three 20s is an instakill. In twelve years of playing, we've only seen the latter twice. Once was by me on a nearly-dead lizardman. What a waste!

Our DnD group once fought one of these suckers! Great colorwork!

Nice! One time our crew accidentally got in the middle of a fight between one of these suckers and a remorhaz. It did not end well for our cleric, who tried to ride his shield down a snow-covered mountain, and ended up under the remorhaz right before its death throes went off.

Hell yeah. Not too long later we met our bard who had been getting high in a shack he built over a methane vent. He later got eaten by our half-orc fighter for trying to steal our airship.

I usually detest absurdly huge swords in fantasy, but this one is done so well that I actually really like it. It's also a fabulous composition, very dynamic.

Ekuneshiel In reply to line-melte [2011-08-26 12:41:34 +0000 UTC]

Thanks man! Yeah, I usually dislike needlessly big swords, but he's actually the character I'm playing in Pathfinder. I use a feat that lets me use an oversized greatsword.

The composition came to me in a really vivid burst of inspiration while walking home from work. I started on this literally as soon as I got home!

BuuWho In reply to Ekuneshiel [2011-08-24 00:27:01 +0000 UTC]

hmm...that'd have to be the composition.
I really struggle with placement as far as making objects or figures look like they are definitively in the foreground or the background, and I think that you've handled that beautifully here!
I also love the detail that you put into your outfits, and I think you chose great colors.

Good luck with the portfolio!

Ekuneshiel In reply to BuuWho [2011-08-24 02:05:00 +0000 UTC]

Aw, yay! That's actually what I'm most pleased with here. I got the idea for the composition on the way home from work one day.

Thanks! Hopefully I'll be paying the bills with my skills soon.

oh wow! looks adventurous!
it looks nice in color! -and love all the little details. >w<
I also like the worm design too.

I like the gray-scale technique also! ...though I don't think I pull it off right. xD;;; Is there a nice tutorial on youtube somewhere?

Ekuneshiel In reply to bezzalair [2011-08-20 01:24:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Caylee! Making the worm all scaly and knobby was super fun.

I'm really glad this method worked out; I was kinda apprehensive at first. I don't know of any tutorials, really. I just kinda winged it. I used a couple color/soft light layers for each figure in this, and then the details layer over top.

Excellent work!

I like how you have your own character archetypes going on. Is that Duncan with the sword?

Purple worms make anything a challenge. Thanks buddy!

Yeah, having recurring characters is fun... and I don't have to make up a whole slew of armor/weapons each time I use them.
