Yo yo! I've been working on my entry for the ArtWar comp on cubebrush. Figured I'd post it here. I'll follow up with a model sheet for this character soon. Loving everyone's stuff

@Daven coming along nicely! Not sure what your timeline is, but I'm curious if you're taking the fire (tail and head) any further? Just a thought, the color/value relationships in the rest of the image are working great, but the fire bits feel weird in comparison. It's a big value jump from center of the flame to the edge. Maybe too white in the center? Anyway, I know you're not asking for crit. I'm just vomiting words.

I've been playing with the Werble app on breaks. Fun stuff!

The GIFs end up around 9mb, I've added a few to the Sketchbook.

Eepox · Jan 2018

She looks sweet @danipanteez ! Are you going to finish it? I also like your smooth lineart mermaid on the previous page

@th1355en I like the light and shadows in the environment piece, and the feel of large space.
Lovely silhouette thumbnails @ErikNilsson ! The power of contrast works well with the design ideas

A one-evening piece based on a story

Inspired by Ashenvale zone and its music in WoW, and a little story snippet of my own

Some weapon concepts I made for training my hand-painted prop skills again.

anthandy · Jan 2018

Hey Everyone! New to the forums here, but was inspired to join the community because of all the amazing artists and artwork. Happy to join the forums.

I wanted to share my character I recently finished, a salty seasoned pilot astronaut suited up for a final space exploration mission. Spent a lot of time on it to practice painting. Learned a ton! Looking forward to sharing more with you all.

There's a ton of great DnD related art in here lately. It's awesome!

This is a DnD character commission piece I just finished up for a friend.

Lyno · Jan 2018

Hi anthandy , welcome to the forum

! I would maybe make his feet a bit bigger and his lower arm a bit thicker (the foreshortened one). Nice work!
Here is something I was working on. I started with a 3d base for the spaceship concept. Simple shapes with a greeble modifier on it:

THis is absolutely beautiful, reeking with skill and atmosphere. I'd legitimately hang it up on my walls.
