Awww...man, thanks. That was my very first hero product. It is SOOOO rough, my art back then.... it is almost scary to look at. But I'm glad you saw something you like in it.

 

Moving to more up to date illos....

 

First up, another Death Tribble commission. This one is Skin Devil. Bodybrowser from Googlelabs was a huge help on this one. I think this one is really kinda creepy.

 

I think I had a model hit of him.

You're right, he is creepy.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.

I like it too.

She's certainly a great recruiting inducement for the forces of evil.

Unsung Hero Of NU

There is one person that needs a good deal of credit as well.

The project that eventually became Normals Unbound was given the green light by Rob Bell who gave us a lot of good advice and direction. He handed us the ball and we ran with it. I don't think NU would have been half as good without Rob's initial input.

BTW: I think the original title was The NPC Factory which (thankfully) was changed.

This was one of those rare times that I had the write ups of every single character. Stats, description, background, the whole enchilada. All the characters were the work of Brannon Boren and Patrick Bradley (with a few characters created in their respective gaming groups from what i understand). I just doodled the illos.

 

Usually, just so you know, I get a sentence or two for a new character to draw... so everything depends on interperting what is needed. Unfortunately, this is because writing and illustrating a book are going on simutaneously. There isn't a really easy logistic way around that. If you have a manuscript sitting and ready to go and it is then being illustrated, that is time wasted that manuscript could be making money.

The man says "doodled the illos"! Don't make me slap you around Storn!

While Brannon and I had the characters firmly planted in our minds, we still couldn't wait until we saw them brought to life by the masterful pencils and inks of Storm Cook. We were delighted as well as surprised by Storn's work. I still have the originals of Shanna and Matt Armbruster proudly hanging on our wall.
