Storn Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread I finished Kalhandrha here. She has been done for a bit, but oil can take a while to dry and then I was just waiting for a day that I could gang up a lot scans all at once. Yesterday was that day. Now, I'm posting her.

Storn Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread A trio of fantasy warriors. Although #1 and #2 are the same character. I thought I would amuse you all with my mistake. I had done a quick read through of the character and totally missed a couple of things, it wasn't normal fantasy... it was Exalted, which is more over-the-top. And he had big, stompy boots and gauntlets. So I redid him. But I still like the first image, just not for Exalted. The last one is a cleric of Tempus.

Storn Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread Here are three more... "Putsch" means coup detat in german according to the patron.

Markdoc Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread And here's everybody's favourite character in our game ... well, he's my favourite character, anyway performing one of his signature moves - running in among enemies and tricking them into hitting each other. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, it would be background, but it's mostly black, so I really don't see much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdoc Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread That's the problem with having your characters do all their combat in caves, or at night! To me, it looks OK on any one of three monitors, but they're all LCDs. Dunno if that makes a difference. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teh bunneh Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread The first one is very dark. It's a little hard to distinguish between the ogre on the right and the background. The last one is much better, on my monitor at least.

lemming Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread Not as dark as on my monitor, but I still think the last one is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DusterBoy Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread The last one is best, IMO and I like the way blondie is leaning on the club to leap over it. Tres cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narf the Mouse Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread I like the middle one best. The last one is too bright. OTOH, I got my desktop computer set up now - With LCD. Also, I'm not entirely sure what's happening in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread I'm guessing it's because MarkDoc is an Apple dude... I don't know if it's so these days, but Apple and PC monitor gamma used to be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdoc Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread OK, guys, thanks - I'll kick the brightness up by +60 in future. As for why it seems too dark, I dunno. I don't think it's a difference between Apple and PC monitors, because the original looks fine on the HP monitor hooked up the PC at work. As for what's happening, this is my PC from our D20 game (we're playing this afternoon: yay!). The guy with the flaming sword has recently acquired the feat elusive target which means when he is flanked by two (or more foes) he can designate one of them as a "target". If his target attacks him, the first attack automatically misses and the "target" has to roll that against one of the other flankers instead. It's a groovy feat! The picture shows the first time he ever used it - with him springing nimbly over the club of one ogre so that it whacks the other ogre behind him. Although the DM has approved all my build in advance, she forgot about that feat and the look on her face as her NPCs started hitting each other! Priceless! The character himself was a design challenge - to see if I could build (in D20) a tough "light fighter" who doesn't rely on heavy armour, but can still take the sort of punishment and dish out the sort of damage needed to be a front line combatant. I think I have succeeded with this guy: He's mostly Paladin, but with a few levels of monk and sword-sage rolled in. And he's a blast to play - optimized for high mobility, he dashes in among our enemies, hacking away - but also tripping people, getting them to hit each other, jumping over their heads or tumbling between their legs: he basically disrupts any battle line. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread The first one looks fine to me - I can see all the details, thought it is a bit dark. The difference between Apple and Windows gamma is that Apple Gamma is set for brighter images. Windows Gamma is actually defaulted to far far too low to begin with.

Storn Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Re: Fantasy Art Thread I thought folks might like to see a rejected piece. Not because it was bad...well, the client said they liked it. I like it. But just because it wasn't a "standing" figure. I was going for something dynamic, but it just didn't fit what the client needed to use it for. Hey, it happens occasionally. Still, I like it. If anyone has a use for it, I could color it... let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
