Storn Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. AND HE IS BACK! No, I'm not talking about myself. But the THIRD rendition of Hurricane. ... and the last one I do. If this doesn't do it... I throw my hands up in the air and just say that I just can't get this character down on paper. Dunno why this one has been so hard, but it has. I went more towards a Capt. Britain type helmet, but I was really thinking about the goggles of Kubert's Enemy Ace quite a bit, so the lenses of the mask are much more like that than Cap Britain's. I went for more "delta" shapes in the pattern, paying homage to the shape of a wing. I also brighten up both the green and tan/browns to make it a bit more superhero-y.

Enforcer84 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Wow Storn, That totally sucks. (pause for comedic effect) Kidding, all three are wonderful, indeed I suddenly have the idea to create a heroic legacy around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Just don't use the abbreviation RAF in Italy as it stands for Red Army Faction what the Baader Meinhoff gang became Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbywolfe Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. I kind of want to use all three of those as a Legacy Hero passing down the mantle and heroic identity over the generations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveZilla Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Or it could be the same character (he's immortal after all) updating his costume every 20-30 years -- they can wear out, y'know. I like the first and third the best.

The Nexus Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. I realize the commission-er (hehe get it?) wanted the RAF symbol prominent, but I think it would have looked better if it was used as shoulder pads. I really like it, and think you did capture the feeling of Captain Britain without just changing his costume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storn Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Another challenge at ArtOrder. This one was to include a female knight fighting a beholder in a forest clearing. But here is the rub. While maintaining a "fantasy" vibe, it had to target a demographic that we don't usually work for. So, the target audiences was broken down into these categories: Under 2 (infant) 2-4 (pre-school) 5-7 (early elementary) 8-12 (tween) 13-17 (teen) 18-24 (young adult) 25-34 35-44 45+ Now, usually I work between young adult and 35-44... the rpg market. So in order to go beyond my usual demographic targets, I had to go either to tween and younger or older. Well, my first instinct was to go younger. But then the thread over at the ArtBlog showed me that everyone was doing that. So I went older, for the 45+ market. The retired folks. And that made me think of AARP. Then I knew I had a more editorial, political commentary idea to talk about. I never get even think of doing something political, so I was kinda excited to do something along these lines. So here is my entry. By the way, I'm the only one who did 45+. I have some small sense of pride about that! Here is the original link to the challenge: http://theartorder.com/2011/02/23/segmentation-and-art/ Here is the link to the 32 submissions, mind included: http://theartorder.com/2011/03/21/segmentation-line-up/comment-page-1/#comment-3195 And for those who don't want to click through all those submissions, here is my artwork: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Arc Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Before beholding the beholder, I thought from your description it would've been a beholder with glasses and a hearing aid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DusterBoy Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. She looks a little young to be a pensioner, Storn, but I like the beholder representing all the obstacles the AARP has to deal with. Ace pic, as always.

Markdoc Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Ok, that made me laugh: nice pic! You should see if the AARP is interested in the rights! cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodstone Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.

Storn Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Another commission for RDUNeil. This is Killenger, a Viper nest leader, but in recent years, somewhat of a sometimes ally to various superteams, including the Mavericks. And another commission for Death Tribble, his idea was to combine a Bulette from D&D with a bullet train ala japanese rail.
