Loremaster, your work is absolutely on par with ANY Elder Scrolls renderings I'VE seen!!! wonderful, just wonderful.

you should get a job designing RPG characters!!! come to Silicon Valley!! i hear they pay very very well!!!!!

I was going to work as a concept artist in the movie industry and was due to begin with one film company some years back. I turned against drawing seven years ago and havent drawn since.

But thankyou very much for your nice comments.

I don't mean to keep posting these, but Avatar said I should move these here. Anyway, here's my "masterpiece," as my wife calls it. It's a scene from the movie "Fellowship of the Rings," where Frodo is looking at Rivendell for the first time. I never liked the orange color grading done in post production for the movie, so I've reproduced this with a fuller spectrum of color. This painting is quite large, so please endulge me posting multiple close-ups. The first picture is the whole thing, in the frame I built. Following after that are close-ups. (And yes, I know I should remove that annoying date from my digital pictures. Maybe I'll take some new ones and repost.)












This "painting" was actually done with oil pastels, a medium I prefer to oil paints, because I can sit on my couch, relax, have a beer, and listen to music while I "paint" (I refuse to call it coloring, even though oil pastels look like big Crayons). The 4'X2.5' painting is actually 8 separate pieces that I glued to a plywood backing, then built the frame out of trim you'd use for a door, and then had a piece of plexiglass cut to fit (oil pastels never dry, they collect dust if you don't cover them).

As you can clearly see though, this is the thread for them. And they're in fine company.

Malik23 is good. Damn good. I'm awed, to be honest.

[Spring]

I agree. Awesome painting, Mailk.

EDIT: And Loremasters are superb.

crappy art. was that a movement? *snort*

is "Crooked Lake" real?

these are cool. and stop with all the false modesty. it doesn't become you. great work. do you have entire "Draftsman" stories or just concept renderings?

Architect of Doom. heh. it's good.

[dANdeLION]

Heh, there are no illustrated D-man stories, no Pizza-deliveryman stories, no Team Impala stories, just those 3 pics, and a thousand other things in my chest at home. I have a lot of Tom's stuff, too, because I like to steal his stuff....mebbe I'll post some of that later.

[Lorelei]

I love the one of Draftsman.....maybe one day I can commision one for my own superhero alter-ego....I have to find a good name for her first....

Whee! I found the art thread! This is so neat.

Great quality, all of it! You guys should all be very proud of your work.

[lucimay]

Crappyism? Did that come before or after Cubism?

Yes, I like dAN's Draftsman, too. I'm just not sure what one could do with him story-wise. I can picture more open-ended possibilities for Pizza Delivery Man.

No. I'm no writer, and even if I were, I couldn't force a story to save my life. D-Man was intended solely as a single picture, and a single picture it shall remain. I, on the other hand, do not wish to remain single, and am willing to accept any applications from single lady watchers who might be interested in un-singling me.
