Lorin maybe? contact info on his website? we're a dedicated site, someone has to know how to reach him or has reached him in the past , no?Sorry, haven't gotten an answer yet (as for the Donaldson site linkage, I'm not exactly sure whom to ask)

My guess is on SRD's site itself, you would ask Romeo. I personally would prefer a merchandise site remain linked to the Watch, though. Try to leave SRDs site merchandise free, except for his own books or whatever he creates, should he choose to offer it there.marineguy wrote:Lorin maybe? contact info on his website? we're a dedicated site, someone has to know how to reach him or has reached him in the past , no?Sorry, haven't gotten an answer yet (as for the Donaldson site linkage, I'm not exactly sure whom to ask)

Not sure what I ought to do with her face.
And she needs to be crying.
The bewildered look you have is accurate as well.

Pssht I need to dig out this bloody sketch from the confines of my hard drive and start working on it again. Linden and the First's faces have to be redrawn, not to mention her armor. Linden however shall remain bewildered-looking. XD

Wow! Love this!Zorm wrote:
In relation to selling stuff: I'm guessing that SRD wouldn't probably want merchandise sold from his site. Better a KW thing.
Zorm, I can contact Vain (outside of KW) if you want me to to remind him that he'd talked about setting up an online shop front for you. He's busy off doing another project, but I'm happy to remind him. I for one wouldn't mind a print or two of your artwork.

Wow, wow, and wow Zorm.
Regarding the "study on height differences". FYI, according to the book, Pitchwife stands "no more than an arm's reach taller than Covenant". So, say, 7½ feet. I think this would put a normal Giant at about 10 feet. Other clues in the story indicate that Giant's are about X2 humans, or about 11 feet tall. Then again, Foamfollower was "at least" 12 feet tall. If human males are generally in the 5-6 foot range, perhaps Giants are in the 10-12.

Thanks, everyone.
lucimay: My webhost might be acting up, if the Thomas pic doesn't load. I'll see what's up with that later this week. I also have more drawings scattered around this forum and the Fatal Revenant one (since I don't know whether 3rd chrons art is allowed here), in case you're interested.
Hitherto my guess has been that regular Giants reach 11-13 ft.
Seareach: Vain did setup the shop, but it was left pending in a fashion (I had some questions about it; figured he's busy doing something more important as he's apparently not been online for a while). I'm not in a horrible hurry with this myself (should finish some drawings, build a sub-page on my website dedicated for Covenant work in case of linkage (marineguy's suggestion), etc.). But you can send him a message if you like.
I'm also really, really bad at judging which drawings should be selected as prints, so I'm taking suggestions.

As far as I recall, there's also another passage telling Pitch stands "half again as tall as Linden", so I've put his height to 8-9 ft and proportioned the First's height so that Linden's crown barely reaches her hipbones. Since SRD's descriptions aren't precise, I'm taking some leeway here and there. Also, with his back repaired, my version of Pitch would be taller than she. The crazy artist that I am, I actually attempted walking in such a Quasimodo-ish crouch to see how he'd move about, and I can tell it's bloody difficult without bending your knees considerably, or alternatively using a cane. Since he doesn't employ the latter, his present height excludes any additional centimeters gained from standing with straight legs. I'm getting quite analytical again.wayfriend wrote:FYI, according to the book, Pitchwife stands "no more than an arm's reach taller than Covenant". So, say, 7½ feet.

Since I never seem to get that other picture ready, have another piece of tongue-in-cheek crackshipping...er...Pitchy's awkward lovin'.
Srsly, if it doesn't look too ridiculous, might color it. XD

Thanks.
I cannot draw such a disproportionate couple with an entirely serious face, hence the little line down there. I just showed this to one of my RL friends and her only comment was "You're impossible". We both cracked up.
Ahem.... Anyone here good at pointing out anatomical errors? Pitchy's jaw has begun bothering me; wondering if I should try fixing it before possible colors. Not a particularly easy angle, and at the same time his visage ought to remain asymmetrical and grotesque. Hmmh.

maybe stronger jaw bone along the beard because of the angle. It's not the amount of jaw, it's just the difficulty in conveying the underside correctly. The other alternative is to reduce the jaw, showing less underside and let it curve into the neck more. Maybe the angle of the chin sticking out would bring out the underside more. Just a suggestion buddy.Zorm wrote:Thanks.

Thanks; I'll see what I can do about it.
