Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. SK, thank you for taking the time to write such warm words. Really nice to hear. My old website is up, just under the new address. It is the really old website. I've notions of changing it completely, but my progress on that has been slow.. albeit started. The website is StornArt.com But the live journal combined with Photobucket is a nice way to update folks quickly and easily, as opposed to updating the art website itself. Which is not that easy for me. Unfotunately, not only being lame, I've been incredibily sick as well. So all my projects are a bit slow at the moment. Tessa's Kane, the commissions I have coming up, the website, Catspaw... all of it is a bit beyond my ability to finish quickly until healed and rested. Thanks again for writing!

Re: Storn Art From Idea to Full Picture Year 4 I've done this one. He was called Demagogue by the patron. RDU Neil used him in our game and called him Techno Mage. But in any case, I've done it. Doesn't mean I can't come up with another variation...

Re: Storn Art From Idea to Full Picture Year 4 A good friend of mine was a Lrrp. Half carried Ak-47s because when they ambushed the enemy, it would confuse them. The sound of the M-16 and Ak was very different. Sound was very important, because these guys were definitely in the deep jungle doing recon. Sometimes visibility was only 10 feet. The 30 round clip came to the m-16 very, very late in the Viet Nam war. before that it was a 20 round clip. The Ak is a 30 round clip. That accounts for the 10 bullet difference. But the 20 round clip wasn't exactly useless. Marines and Army could hump quite a few more rounds, not only due to the lighter weight of each individual 5.56 compared to the 7.62R round.... but the 20 round clip was *porportionally* lighter than the AK's clip. In a long firefight, those extra clips and rounds can keep save some asses.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. I've joined the Live Journal trend. And while it is not roleplaying art, I'm starting a... "How I work" series... of posts delineating one painting in the various stages and steps I go through. Some of you might find it interesting, c'mon by and take a gander, give me a comment or two. My live journal link is here: http://storn-cook.livejournal.com/

Re: Daily Art Findings I actually liked this pic so much, and the fact that at the end of the last adventure, he becomes the black duke, I colorized it (pencil sketch somewhere above here in this thread). When I pencilled it at the table, I was definitely thinking white and golds for the color scheme. I had to reconsider that if he was to be the black duke. so, here is the colorized Elabrin Tanis, my PC in the Burning Elves game.

Re: Chimpira's Art Dump Hey Chimpira, really like what you are doing. Just me being a nudge... lets see some color happening on these. They are easy to color in photoshop or painter with your clean line!!!! I can so see an anime two/three tone treatment happening on your art. And please, keep posting!!!

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Dreamation Doodles This last weekend, I had the honor to play a couple of games with the authors of two games. And as per course, I doodled as I played. Both games were awesome and let me plug them. First up was Mortal Coil. The author (and amazing nice guy!) is Brennan Taylor and ran a wonderful game. It is a game about defining a world of magic. Well, I took a nap about 2 hours before the game session and had this dream of science fiction meets magic with a definite anime vibe. So I proposed it. And the group accepted it and off we were running. In the end, we traveled to the center of the universe to save the civilized planets from planet eating demons to find the true spell of exorcism. We ended up blowing up the universe! With Love! and hit the reset button. Totally awesome!! My character was the interperter, had spells of illusion and interpertation and clarity. He was in love with 'M.C.', the ship's AI and a player character. Here is Eric... Then here is the ship, the "Mortal Coil".... how could we not name it that? And lastly, here is "MC" the AI herself. And a link to this wonderful game, Mortal Coil, ladies and gentlemen: http://www.indiepressrevolution.com/products.php?publisherLink=galileo Then I got the chance to play With Great Power. Run and written by Michael S. Miller. I've played a lot of superhero games, but this one really modelled the ramping up plans of the villain(s) and the heroes trials and woes and disasters... but then being able to pull out a victory at the last minute... better than any superhero game I've ever played. Lots of player input and control was possible. This was pregen character, The Sheild, in Mutant Academy setting, trademark filed off to protect the guilty. I had so much fun playing the straight man to Thor's Wrath... this was a really fun game. So, here is my version of The Sheild. And the link to another wonderful game, With Great Power come the responsibilty to buy and play this game: http://www.indiepressrevolution.com/products.php?publisherLink=incarnadine

Re: Chimpira's Art Dump Chimpira. You have nothing to fear. Nice stuff. You are right about the posings... but like you said, you are ramping up. Looking forward to seeing more!!!

Re: Daily Art Findings Big fantasy art dump First up, been playing in a Burning Wheel fantasy game, all elves (as in the two PCs are elves). There is a recap link: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=306701 This is Jeff's PC, Prince Airen, heir to the White Citadel and the student to my character. This is my character, Elabrin Tanis, a humble sword-singer, famous in a civil war and know younger race sympathizer. Who gets trapped into politics way beyond his ken. Cham is a Black Rock villager. Cham is the human that Prince Airen tried to teach the Song of Bonding to... Next is Alana, our fiery redheaded ax amazon who almost did in Elabrin Tanis first session. Thought she needed a picture. She kinda disappeared in this session after the fight between the Black Duchess and Prince Airen. However, her experiences at the Black Citadel court... it will be interesting to see how she filters that as she goes back to Ar-Tor to reclaim her small remaining tribe. I'm sure we will see her again. Oops. Missed one. Can only do 4 images in one post. Here is the fifth. And lastly, ah... what can I say. Savana, the Black Duchess herself. Elabrin fell right back in love with her, his swordmistress, teacher and mistress of his heart. And more... but I'll let Judd spin out the tale further before commenting. Such a flawed character, such a catalyst for disaster... she was really the engine that drove this session. I really darkened up her lines in Photoshop to reflect that Black thematic. I think I nailed her personality down in this pic, I'm really happy with this one. Lastly, a character concept commission for a wizard who has been changed and his mutated hedgehog. This was a fun one to do. These works are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Good eyes. I will let Tribble explain that.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Like I mentioned, a plethora of gunbums and bunnies was on the way. Here they be.... This first one is for a Shadowrun campaign: This one is for a zombie campaign. And this one is for Death Tribble, which I believe is for Champions, but a fangtastic firepower weilding vampiress.

Re: Herophile Fantasy art doodles done during play. This is for a playtest for Giants... the game where size does matter... or fe fi fo FUN!!!! Jeff of the Sons of Kryos, is creating this game and I've been in two playtests of it. I'm really excited about it. Here is a thread where jeff is talking about what he is starting. http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=21994.0 As for the art, the guy in the river is Reed... and is my character. His sister, Delphina is the one coming out of the fountain... where she is regarded by her community as the Goddess of the Sea.... whereas I'm the smaller brother upriver and that is my desmense. Delphina was played by Julia, Jeff's wife... and she is an awesome player and was SO big sister to my impetuous little brother. Ton of fun. Literally!
