wow, you've been productive pb

I really like the canoloth and the barbazu, but my favorite is the facial expression of the lemure great job!

and I like the design of the clothing, you should check if there are pictures of armor and stuff needed for the PSCS

ps: I'm watching your deviantart from now

sweet thank you! i tried to convey a total lack of hope and sadness for the lemure...expressions other than a smug smile are lacking as far as I'm concerned, so I'm glad you like that one :D

And Clueless, do you need any illustrations for specific planar armor/items? I'd love to have a go at those

p.s. I have a bunch more Rilmani and 'loths, but they're not at the scanning stage yet...I should get on that and i have to sketch out all the modrons too *gack*

I agree. I love looking at people's sketches. If you check out my deviantart, i think i have some things like that, but now i know someone likes them, i might just post some more or like a "making of" series where it goes from pencil to finished product

But for why that one stood out - it honestly felt like a slightly different style for your work - like it was somethign you were experiementing with. I honestly didn't realize that was the prelim of what your work becomes, considering the solidity of the linework in what you normally produce. It's close to a style that I've been trying to develop myself for awhile now, that felt lighter and more ephemeral. It reminded me of some of the penwork of TonyD, just from the delicacy of line.

While sketching all of the Rilmani, I worked directly off of Di's drawings. I've never really liked any DnD artists as much as I've liked him. I appreciate Lockwod and that other guy who does alot of the work for 3.5, but Di just has this amazing feel that he gave planescape...and if I've captured any of that, then my job is done! *claps hands* but that picture you linked me to was incredible! He's a fantastic artist. I totally strive to have the completeness of character that he shows. Eveything he draws just looks complete as it is, while I'm always feeling that I should do more, but I'm ranting

The lines you used for that one still manaaged to convey the weight you're aiming for (they trail off at the ends where I think you would normally use a thinner line, and are nice and solid where you'd have an extra thick line) - they just feel frailer and it seems to work for the way my eyes and head like it.

That's what I try for the most, I think I just get caught up in having nice think lines I think it's the graphic/comic book artist in me that like to have everything filled in. Like if you used the "fill" feature on my art, everything would be one solid piece I should work on trying to keep my stuff sketchy though, like Yoshitaka Amano (another of my absolute faves )
If you haven't seen his stuff, I'd definately check it out. He did an amazing Sandman novel that's way to expensive for me to even think about getting now...but someday!!

I really like drawings from the head shot on downwards. The colors suit the characters well so I have little more to add to that.

I tried my best on the Fire Genasi....For the record, I abhor red, orange and yellow...so she was a little hard on the senses

I believe they have their place and all, I just despise them
