Planescape sketches & impressions

planescape stays one of my favorite subjects to draw, so I decides to share some of it on planewalker.com. Instead of overloading Artist Alley I thought of starting a threat here with some of my stuff. Meaby getting some feedback before I collor or exhance them and putting some on artist alley. Hope you like them.


Kylie the tout from a second series of Planescape portaits that I never finished


Archeron rocks


The Gith are meaby one of the coolest races to draw


Abysm


The tower Arcane, meaby it should be bigger, but who cares


Crappy digital version

Hmmm, Crapcore? How are you at the drizzly rain effect? Cause I think you could do a wonderful picture of sigil, looking at that random street.

:shock: Wow, these are really good, I like the one of Yetsira alot.... and the one of a random street of Naratyr..... These are really good, alot better than my crappy shad... and these would in no way bog down the artists alley crapcore, they would just make it full of good pictures, even more than they already have there.

Very nice, especially the Sigil pair and the Gehenna Tower.

You might remember that a few months ago you agreed to illustrate some PS monsters for the Creature Codex when you had more time? Well, in case you're stil interested, here's the board link ...and the project link.

Hope to see you there Smiling

Yes I remember, but I forgot to check my PM's (just read the one you sent months ago about the denizens of the transitive planes... oops :oops:) This time I will try to check my PM's more frequently, so I can draw some critters from the elemental planes


Limbo can have it's quiet times...

These are really good. Laughing out loud

Can't be more constructive, but you seem to have a nack for the Planescape mood.

Amazing. Please keep it up. I love all of these.

The Limbo sketch just shot to my favorite. Please show us more.

You've managed to capture the Planescape feel (in a subtle way that I can't even seem to identify) without sacrificing your creativity to illustrate scenes that we haven't seen before. Scene before?

Glory be to the Wacom. The Wacom rules all.

Those look georgous - have you been claimed and leashed to the Planewalker artist slave train yet? Eye-wink

I really like your Sigilian scenes. I think that hazy black and white look (in the lower ward picture) really adds to the feel. Great job with those.

Oh, and the Limbo one cracks me up. That's awesome. It's like they're bored from a recent lack of chaos.

These sketches are excellent. They contain the whimsy of DiTerlizzi, yet still present the characters and backdrops as living, breathing entities.

Hi,

First; nice pictures, I like the way you manage to represent the Planescape'esque feeling in a realistic way. The Limbo picture is my favourite, for now.

Then something I've wondered about from the moment I saw your "Rhys, Estavan and Rule of Three" picture. What is the font you're using in both that and the above picture? I like it, but I'm leaning towards "It's something you cooked up yourself" instead of "It's font xxxxx".

Greets, Kris!

Thanx all for your comments! I don't really have new doodles 'cause of the illustrations for the core rule book & creature codex taking much of my drawing time (you can check them at the PSCS Writers Forum)

@ Da'hak: the font is called Math Donuts, but I can't recall where I got it, must be one of those free font sites like www.dafont.com

Thank you. It's definitely a nice font to play around with. Especially for this setting.

These are the best images of scenery I've ever seen! Amazing work, makes me feel bad that I didn't look here earlier. Cause I really missed some good stuff, can't wait to see more.

And good thing your doing illustrations for the book, you catch the elements of the other planes so well.
