Storn's Art & Characters thread.

My character, Hope, grew up on Mars and has a passing familiarity with spaceships and various vehicles.  I believe Myrk also has piloting as one of his skills.  Neil, the GM, sent out an email describing our approach to the Spire using the STS-014m, built at the martian shipyards and is a space shuttle and VTOL.  So damn… I had to draw that!

 

My sketch was done at lunch yesterday.. the prelim pencils were so quick, but I gotta love Clip Art Studio’s curve and straight line tools, much simpler than photoshops.  This is not a finished piece of work, just a quick, mostly digital doodle.  But it gets the concept across.  Hope affectionately calls the ship, “The Stork”

I shared a couple of pics from my upcoming Champions game earlier.  I’ve gotten a couple more done and now that is up as a Clip Art portfolio from LPJ Designs for publishers who might need some super hero art.  You can preview all 5 pics before you purchase.  And I have several fantasy and super hero clip art collections that might fit publishers needs in addition to the newest one.

 


 

Here are a couple of the pics that have not been posted yet that are in that collection.

 

We have The Blue, a Lemurian immortal mage, now coming out of seclusion to help rebuild the world.  Played by Geoff.  An extensive multipower of water based magics.

And we have Myrk, a hybrid of two alien races, one of which looks quite huminoid, the Tresselaines.  The published Herculon from Champions Enemies is a Tresselaine (I believe).  He was on Earth during the 10 year Invasion War fighting for Earth.  He is a brick with certain fungus and plant abilities like stretching due to vines and spikes.  Played by Rick.

Wow.  I have done 150 (and counting) commissions for uber patron Death Tribble.  He asked me to do a vehicle of his Avatar logo (for those who haven't seen it, a ball of brown fur with cartoon eyes with an angry furrowed and flaming brow).  I've been planning this one for a long time, knowing I was going to go a bit beyond that.... so Presenting!  The Mighty Multi Morphin Death Tribble Mobile!!!!

For Opale this is the latest one but there is another I can find.

Mr Storn !

 

It might be a silly question, but do you draw any kind of vehicles, bases or such on comission, or just stick with characters ? 

 

Always enjoying your creations anyway ^^

 

Regards

I don't do a ton of vehicles, bases and the like... as I tend to get commissions of *people* (which could mean aliens, mutants, monsters etc).  But I have done them.  Often, if I'm playing in a game I will do a doodle of a space ship or shuttle...  Bases I don't do a lot of, but I have done city scapes for Mutants and Masterminds or Champions in the past.  Both interiors and exteriors.   I just did this one:

STS-014M%20bw%20F72_zpsehhiz9se.jpg

 

I did this one that is in a Expanse like sci fi game, but had to be a submarine to explore the oceans of Europa.  This is a really quick doodle.  Not meant to be anything but the basest of concepts.

I did this one when I was 9.  Proving I was doing vehicles way back when.

Here are more finished pieces:

And if I had the money I would get more commissions. SIGH !

Yeah buddy, I miss doing your wacky ideas!  

 

But my production is a lot less these days as I'm 9-5 doing advertising and marketing.  I work on my lunch hours and some mornings before works, usually a day on the weekend... but I'm not full time freelance.

Well thanks for the answers :)

 

I might contact you to work on some projects like relooking the Istvatha V'han army or galactic champions stuff

This was a full page illustration that got away.  In the sense that it is supposed to be an interior illustration.  But the thumbnails that were more scaled to a interior didn’t suit the client.  He wanted a sense of scale and wanted bad guys and good guys and pretty specific visuals on the good guys.  This turned into full blown cover in its detail.  Took me forever.  I certainly lost money on this one.

 

But sometimes you have to take a bullet for the team.  It is better to have a happy client than to finish something too fast.

I used to partake occasionally in a contest over at Ten Ton Studios. I had a lunch hour free and thought I would do my first Ten Ton Studio challenge in several years. If you are a member of Ten Ton, you get to vote on the winner. This week's challenge is Superboy. The challenge just started and runs to 9am Thursday. Not a lot of time to get stuff in. But it is always fun to see what is produced.

I did my entry in pencil, ink and color pencil.
