Storn

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.
 
Back to superheroes... back to the 70s!!! The client wanted the cheesy kung fu heroine decked out... his name is Golden Phoenix, but I kept thinking Lotus Jones...with a whole lotta waaa waaa peddle; "Her daddy was left behind in korea, her momma was all kinds of chinese kung fu take out... now, she fights crime!!!".Anyway, golden phoenix everyone....
 

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.
 
I think I have one commission before Death Tribbles... got to go back and check...
 
I've been a bit under the weather, but finally finished this one.
 
Continuing with my blue palette period... a Dire Wolf

And another one from Speedball

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.
 
Here are some commissions that I've been working on for the last couple weeks.
 
Flame and Alu Demon are for Death Tribble. And I think someone mentioned not enuff T&A? Well, this is pretty "R" rated, but more T&A than I usually do. . But it fits the character concept.
 
Nighthawk is for DWebb
 
And a "Female version of Ash" is for BC Holmes.

Exactumundo!
 
This is not a new technique. This is in every Leonardo, Michelangelo, Titian, Carravagio you can think of. Xray technology can actually sift out the underpaintings of those masters. Usually they were in a Burnt Sieanna... but any monochromatic color can be used. I happened to use black, because I wanted that overbearing gothic feel and texture for teh Wachter.
 
I just use digital as a new wrinkle (and I'm not the only one, an artist friend of mine pointed out that she thought she read that Lockwood uses a very similar technique.)

Another Speedball commission:

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.
 

 
For a moment, he was in pastels.. but I deepened the blue because it just didn't sit on the pencils the way I wanted.
 
A commission piece from one of my own players for his own character. She is a dragon who takes elven form and is a weather witch... that is a lot of concepts to jam into one image... but I think I might have worked it out okay.
 
Oil. 11x18

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.
 
Sooo, they aih't supers. I wanted to show them off anyhow.
 
A couple of fantasy pics. First is a private commission for mr. potatohed's brother... a fantasy paladin with serious overatures to Roman centurion trappings. I particularly liked the idea that the clients had come up with of the "phantom" sword, The idea of it being broken in the character's history, but then taking on an eldritch life of its own (and hence, still useable) is just kinda cool.
 

 
Then, a doodle for my own campaign, the Realms. This is Toris Bel. A character of R.'s, but hasn't been used for a long time, getting dusted off and off to have adventures in Waterdeep. Since it is a drug indictment story are, we are jokingly calling it Waterdeep Vice.

Since I'm running Mutants and Masterminds, but in a predominant Champions universe, I thought I would share some of my doodles as I get them done for my game. I'll post stuff here occasionally.
 
this particular beastie is being written up in MM, but was already featured as a Champions critter. Neil has the file on this one (as do I, but it is so buried in my mac, and it is a creation workshop file and won't be read by my mac) I'm hoping y'all can convince him to post it here.
 
Anyways the art is below. Have fun.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.
 
Continuing on with some commissions from within my own gaming group, here are two characters from our UNITE in RDU.
 
E's Coal, the mexican inheritor of an ancient mantle of Earth Protector.
 
and M's Maser. The bastard son of Neutron, hailing from Tunisia and budding internat'l lawyer. Neutron in our game actually turned a corner and died heroically, saving Mars colony from annihilation. Maser is on a quest to make up for his father's sins at the same time trying to learn more about the man.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.
 
I know that this should be in the Fantasy Hero section... but I just can never find my thread over there.
 
I loves ta do da fantasy stuffs.
 
Here is a character of a good friend of mine. This is M's Pc in my Realms game. The character is one who knows a lot of people, positioned close to the throne of the Emporer of the South and has a knack at being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
 
The visual was slightly based on a Reaper minature.
 
Here is Alterion
 

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.
 
Wow. I seem to be really stuck in this green color schemes area.
 
But this is Tachyon. A character in the RDU who's been around almost from its beginning. Albeit, spottingly played by M. And he's been a green color scheme for decade plus.
 
But Tachyon has been dusted off again and in actual play, got a new costume of crystaltech enhancment. Any similarity to my own PC's outfit (Vector) is absolutely on purpose. Crystaltech is a lynchpin of RDU... and Vector's TK can transform C-tech. Tachyon and Vector rebuilt the suit after a "future' mechanon's cyber-infection.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.
 
I was thinking the dragon was not clutching another moon, but rather a jewel or egg and just kept it really vague... the shape isn't important... but a dragon bigger than the moon is kinda interesting idea... and idea with its own gravity well.
 
The dam has broke. The multi-genre cover was actually done for a few days. And I've had my more usual commissions penciled but not finished. AFter putting the final touches on an oil commission (still drying, I'll post when its dry), I've had time to get back to finishing up the pile of private commissions.
 
UP first is SAdhana, the contest idea accepted by Death Tribble.. and I'm blanking on who actually submitted.
 

 
And then continuing with Global Guardians, The Fool, a member of the Tarot.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.
 
Here is a private commission that I did like a novel cover. Lots of space for title. It is a Fading Suns commission for BC Holmes.
 
The alien planet description allowed me the opportunity to play with an audacious color scheme. Fun stuff to try.
