I love the painterly quality of this, this story looks like it's going to be really good.

verrrrrrrry niceee!!......my only critique would be the lack of your incredible line work that was lost in the painting process......I think the piece where you had the character faces in the last post...where it was a combination of painting and line work..is much stronger...since the characters look more expressive!!..Nevertheless.....incredible piece...now lets see some of that comic work for class..LOL!!!

Thanks so much Actually there's no lineart in this, I just painted it straight...I'm trying to get away from my dependence on it But for the real book illustrations I'll probably be doing flat color and linework, since it takes less time.

I wasn't sure if I was allowed to upload the classwork? I might show off my beefy old man...

I always love your illustrations and stories, but the concepts you described in regards to Thorns are simply too awesome to not squeal about. :3

Thank you! There was a serious lack of normal-bodied heroines in fantasy.. as a short, squat person, I felt my people were being underrepresented.

Have you read the Dresden Files? The main character's partner is a short and squat female individual. Go Murph!
