Bengalelf Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Is that his name? I thought it was "Captain Beatdown." I am guessing this is my Greyhound. I have yet to recieve him from Storn. I did get Shard back and I know he was working on both.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legatus Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Greyhound? Captain Beatdown? I recognized him as Der Verklopper! He is a German villain, the pirat of the Autobahn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like your portraiture, Storn, but when you incorporate movement you knock it out of the park. I tend NOT to do a lot of foreshortening in my portraits of characters, because SO much of these are showing the character... and that sorta demands head to toe..., so it is very few character concepts that I feel like I can do something extreme, like what I did here.... but with Greyhound here... who cares what his torso looks like... the idea to get across is speed and action. But if I'm doing a superman or green lantern clone... then we probably want to see the torso, whatever chest design the character might have... fantasy characters are even tougher, as they tend to have laden belts with daggers, swords, potions and the like. But I do want to keep pushing the action a bit on these. So, I'll continue to scratch my head and try to come up with poses that are action oriented and still convey the essence of the character.

Storn Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. 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: And if you are interested in some of John's thoughts on this very cool game, here is the link to his design blog: http://wickedthought.livejournal.com...of+the+blooded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storn Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. I got a chance to work on Mutants and Masterminds supplement, Books of Magic, which was a ton of fun for me, as I'm a big Doc Strange fan. Got to work on my inner Ditko! I always forget to post my published work, because it takes months for the work to come free of NDAs. By the time it happens, I've moved onto other things. But I got a nice email from someone who had bought the book and liked my work in it. So here is a sampling of what I did for Books of Magic. Just to plug one of fav clients....Here is a link to the actual product over at Green Ronin: http://greenronin.com/store/grr2518/ Green Ronin owns these images.... nuff said.

Storn Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. I like to keep trying new techniques (for me, they are probably from centuries to decades old). And sometimes it is a good thing to play around before trying it on a job. Ten Ton Studios weekly challenge is a good way to play. I have done watercolor and I have done brush inking before, but I've only tried combining it a couple of times, about 12 years ago. Doing watercolor over black india ink results in a thin discoloration over the black line I do not like. This time I inked it AFTER the watercolor was put down. I wanted to see if it would work for the "right vibe" for an upcoming job. It doesn't. But it is still a fun thing to try and it might work for some other kind of job down the line. This weekly's challenge is Witchblade. Here is the link to the sketch challenge so y'all can see (and vote for your fave) the plethora of scantily clad, phallic wielding, warrior women. Voting begins and ends tomorrow (Thursday). http://www.tentonstudios.com/forum/index.php?topic=5612.msg89001#new And after all that babble, here is my entry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
