Keep 'em coming! Wink

Thanks, fellas...much appreciated.

Icarus: Yeah, this one is bigger than most of my others that I do and it's definitely the biggest painting I've tackled thus far. The bugbear painting I posted prior to this sketch was 10"x 13" and this one will be 15"x 20". I do all of my paintings on heavyweight vellum illustration board. I knew I wanted to do a big battle scene, so I went with the bigger board for this one. I just hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew! Laughing

Cebrion: I appreciate the suggestion on the arrow. The measurement from the elf's cheek to where the arrow tip would stick beyond the bow at full draw is right at 3" (on the drawing itself) compared to the measurement of the cock-end of the arrow to where it's touching the breast plate of the gnoll (about 2") is about an inch in length difference.

I figure an elf's longbow using a bone-tipped arrow doesn't have quite the penetrating power when going through a metal breast plate compared to those hunting shows where the hunters are using compound bows with razord-tipped arrows through non-armor wearing deer.

Sun Feb 07, 2010 7:37 am Arrow size

All very, very true about the arrows and whatnot.

But ... Ceb, can you be certain that the arrow hitting the gnoll hasn't just barely hit and is only just penetrating? I know the gnolls already falling, but, it's the artist's rendition, and all.

Also, I am not certain that I see a javelin-sized arrow anywhere? Are you extrapolating from how deep you assume the arrow is in the gnolls chest, or are you accidentally seeing the thng in the man's hand as extending from the bow, and looking like an arrow?

Perception changes Point of View, I suppose. :)

Like so many problems, this can be cleared up with a little inside knowledge. You see, the archer in question is using a bow he picked up among the Wolf Nomads. It is intended for mounted use, however, it was made for a nomad who is especially tall for his race. Thus, the bow is shorter than a longbow but still quite long for a shortbow. The arrows, on the other hand, were "acquired" from a gnoll archer who was killed three encounters prior to the one depicted. That archer was likewise taller than average for his race, and was using arrows specially tailored for his size and strength. Since the gnoll's bow was too large and heavy for our friend in the picture, he opted to keep his own bow. But since he was out of arrows he had no option but to take the oversized missiles he found in the gnoll's quiver. So the archer in the picture is using a bow only slightly too large for him with arrows that don't quite fit. He's suffering from a -2 penalty to his attack rolls and a -1 penalty to damage, since the combination is less than optimally effective. Fortunately, from that range he could hardly miss and scored a perfect heart shot. Well done, my archer friend! Cool

Mon Feb 08, 2010 1:34 pm

Hahaha....I haven't checked back on this thread in a good while and rechecking it, I never could have guessed a simple thing such as "arrow penetration" in one of my doodles would bring up so much discussion.

Hey, if my art invokes ANY kind of talk....I'm happy. Wink

As far as the painting goes, I had full intentions of it being completed by this point. When I first posted the pencil sketch for the painting, it was right before me and the missus' were taking a vacation to Cancun for a week. When I got back I got started on the actual "painting" part and between having a couple big snow falls in our area, one of my major drains that runs under my house getting clogged and almost having my house catch on fire due to faulty wiring going to my hot water heater....it's been nothing short of a miracle getting any work done on the illustration up to this point.

It took two days to get the clog fixed, I just got the faulty wiring re-wired today and so starting tomorrow, I'll tackle the painting full force again. (keeps fingers crossed)

Here's the top of the painting that I've worked on so far to give you a glimpse of where I'm at with it to this point. (The flash of the camera made the biggest dwarf's cloak hood look like it had white fuzz all over it. That's just the paint reflecting off the light. And there's not a whole lot of detail on the smaller dwarf and elf due to them both being about the size of my thumb nail. Smaaaaall. ;)

More soon, fellas.

Tue Feb 09, 2010 12:25 am

Always great to see the method of things. Cool

So, get out your paints people, and remember- Bob Ross says "Happy little trees, and fluffy white clouds!"

wow! nice work, especialy on the dwarf coat. very good texture!

the elf seems a little "stocky", but being the size of a thumbnail, its already a great work!

Tue Feb 09, 2010 5:35 am

First time I've been through here in a while, but have to say I'm Glad ( Laughing

) I did!
It's been years since I drew anything of note, and I have to say these are tremendous works, and - as others have already said - really capture D&D sessions in all their 'glory'!

Although Jeff Dee was always my favourite artist. Wink

Fri Feb 12, 2010 6:54 pm

I really like you work, please keep posting.

Fri Feb 12, 2010 7:15 pm

Thanks for the kind words!

Here's a couple more photos of the painting where she's at to this point. You'll have to forgive the terrible photos. I'm using a dinosaur of a digital camera (1.5 mega pixels if that tells you anything Laughing

) as my good one is with my wife who is out of town. I've still got a ways to go but I hope to be done with it by next week.

I'll tweak the ruins and stonework once everything else is finished but this is the basic layout of them...

I took a close up of the dwarf without the flash turned on because it kept washing out everything, but now it just looks dull. I'll be sure to use my good camera for the final photo once the painting is all done.

Until next post....

Thu Feb 18, 2010 10:29 am

Here's the nearly complete Ogre. The final pic with the good camera should reveal a lot more of the details on him (I hope) and I just realized there's a place I forgot to paint on him. Doh! I'll fix it before I post my next pic. Until then...

Thu Feb 18, 2010 1:22 pm

wow!
pure gold, man!
does it have some "protection", or i can use it as a wallpaper? (when finished, of course :D)

Thu Feb 18, 2010 6:46 pm

Feel free to use it as a wallpaper when it's done, rossik....and thanks, buddy.

Fri Feb 19, 2010 8:37 pm

Ogre head go "POP!"

Looking good so far, though the light blue bit between the leaping dwarf's hammer and his head and the wineskin and wall top looks like it should be painted in with background tree foliage.

Tue Mar 02, 2010 12:28 am Great paintings by Glad

Glad ... I have to say ... I am really impressed by your use of colour. I've been illustrating for over 25 years,and I hadn't really ever bothered to do anything other than B&W until last year, and I must say ... you do it well. If there was a little green ::jealous:: smiley face that I could put here, I would! Shocked

It's amazing to see your stuff transform from your sketches to the complete work. I love watching the process.

Keep it up, my man. When we get GLH to get that Gallery up and going, I can't wait to showcase your stuff in it's section and a thread of your very own. ... with your name on it, and everything:!: Happy

Hey fellas...thanks for the kind words. It's been a while since I've been around (and I still haven't finished that stupid painting...but soon!) but I did just get a b&w piece done that I thought you guys might like.

Have a good one!

Tue Jun 08, 2010 9:28 pm

Very nice! You even have a little bug-eyed guy in there crapping himself and the claw marks in the stone. Awesome! Cool

Mon Aug 09, 2010 5:41 am

Thanks, fellas...I appreciate the kind words!

This is interior artwork for a module to be released in the fall by LL. It was written by Tim Lowell and will be titled, "Voyage To Plague Island."

I've got a step-by-step process that I did for the cover that'll get posted a little later.

Mon Aug 09, 2010 7:01 am

I took photos at various stages of the acrylic cover I did for the module, as well. I'm still working on the whole "painting thing," but it's still fun to tackle the ol' acrylics.

The first photo here is of the first rough thumbnail I doodled to get an idea of the layout for the cover. As you'll see, it changes quite a bit and I eventually go for a much closer image instead of this pulled back, wide shot that shows too much of the jungle and detracts from the action going on with the characters...

This is the actual initial pencils that I lay down on the illustration board I painted on...

In this one, I cover the figures with art masking fluid so that I can lay on the background layer in broad strokes without worrying about "dirtying" my characters...

The rest is just my quirky steps to get to the final image...

And the final cover art...

Mon Aug 09, 2010 7:36 am

Glad! You ole' scoundrel! Evil Grin

Missed you, buddy! Happy

Totally AWESOME work -- as usual. Laughing

Keep it up, my friend, I love your work! Cool

I posted a few b&w pieces at the bottom of page 5, as well, but the painted cover carried over and started page 6 in case you missed them.

This last piece is amazing work Glad27. Not to be critical, but I kind of preferred the color palette of the second to last picture over the one used in the final version...

Wish I had your talent! :)

Havard

Tue Aug 10, 2010 3:50 pm

Love the b&w's Glad. Are they being published anyplace other than here? And do you plan on coloring any of them?

Wed Aug 11, 2010 4:28 am

Thanks, Havard!

As far as the color pallette in the final piece, it was tweaked with PS to make the colors brighter so that they would pop off the cover like the old classic D&D modules did. The original holds a slightly more subdued look but is still quite colorful.

And MS, all of the pieces here will be in one module that is supposed to be released in the fall as part of LL's gaming system. The b&w pieces will be staying b&w, but I would like to eventually get around to doing a painting of a troll or two going up against a party.

Right now, I'm staring at two large sheets of Bristol board (14"x 17" apiece) with the beginnings of a massive battle between a good party going up against Orcus and some of his undead minions. When all is said and done, it'll be 28"x 17".

Mercy. Confused

Wed Aug 11, 2010 7:07 am

Excellent! Happy

Looking forward to seeing it, Glad. Cool

Can't believe it took me this long to view your artwork. Yes it feels like 1st edition artwork. Some of it reminds me of the Dungeon and Dragons cartoon artwork. If you and Mort merged we would have the worlds greatest collaboration. I'm Glad to have you on the boards. Pun intended!

I like how clean the lines are in your work as if its on the page just waiting for you to reveal it. If you get a chance you should definitely join the chats on Thursday nights fresh ideas and topics are always appreciated, especially those of us who have not fallen prey to the undead.
Evil Grin

Wed Jan 19, 2011 4:54 pm

I love your artwork, Glad! Really does remind me of some of the old stuff, like the cover of The Lost City.

I am shaking my head at the situations the halfling always finds himself in in your art. Smile

Lastly, I read throught the entire thread up until this point and don't think anyone ever identified the Chasme picture on page one. That's from The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, right?

SirXaris

Fri Jan 21, 2011 6:06 am

Fri Jan 21, 2011 10:28 am Excellent

Glad - totally digging your artwork as well, being a huge fan of anyone with some artistic ability and using it for illustrative purposes. Laughing

pdx - I would report that to Amazon if you could. There are times like that I just walk away from a shady deal and get on ebay and do price comparisons and see which is best for my best options are. Good luck!

A group of Morlocks and their pet albino ape going up against a party...

Fri Mar 04, 2011 6:28 am

Very nice, Glad27!

I'm especially impressede with the detail on the elf. He looks great. I'm also pleased to see the the halfling avoid a humiliating pose in this picture, though the dwarf doesn't seem to be happy about taking his place. Laughing

SirXaris

Fri Mar 04, 2011 8:36 am

Good to "see" you "back" where you belong. Great work, as always. We're thinking of any "Interesting Ladies of Greyhawk" type calender. Up for the job? Laughing

I like the style you have. It is very reminiscent of early D&D art. I also like that it has a bit of a cartoony flair to it.

Fri Mar 25, 2011 5:07 am

Unless there is a specific instruction from the client demanding their inclusion that I am aware of, I must express my disapproval of the goblin mother and child in the picture.

It makes the whole scene appear reversed - that the adventuring party is the evil raiders slaughtering a family, even a village, of peaceful goblins, the father valiantly giving his life to protect his wife and children. The Dwarf even looks like he's planning to chase down the fleeing mother and child! Confused

That's not the image I have of D&D. Sad

Sorry if I'm reading it all wrong, but that's what's bothering me about the picture. Nothing wrong with the style or quality, though. Wink

SirXaris

Fri Mar 25, 2011 5:59 am

@SirXaris....that's exactly what the client wanted. Laughing

The module that this particular illustration was done for is a change from the normal sorts where it's a "good party" going after the "bad humanoids." Instead, the gaming group's players ARE the goblinoids and they're going up against an evil group of adventurers.

This particular scene is not meant to represent the actual gamers' characters but an innocent group of goblins/orcs getting attacked by the nemesis of the module.

So, your reaction is actually spot on with what my client wanted the illustration to convey.

Fri Mar 25, 2011 7:24 am

Excellent work, Glad! I love the attention to detail - especially the Bugbear's draconic shoulderpads. Happy

SirXaris

Sat Apr 16, 2011 5:04 pm

Awesone piece!

My guesses are, from left to right (sitting): Worg, Bugbear, Goblin (?), Orc King, Hobgoblin, Orc and Drow (?); (standing) Ogre (?) and I don't know what this guy is but he's missing his left ear. :D

SirXaris

Sun Apr 17, 2011 12:44 pm

Sun Apr 17, 2011 3:15 pm

Newhon Ghouls are not really undead, but a humanoid race that is mostly transparent. You can see their bones. Otherwise their skin, vascular, and other organ systems are almost completely transparent and barely noticeable, such that at not too great a distance they appear to be animated skeletons.

This art is very nice. War council or something similar. Nice subject matter to be sure, and not often seen.

I mistakenly clicked on the thread title to check on the thread, and went to page 1. Rather than move straight to the last page, I went through each page one at a time, as this thread really is sort of a retrospective of your work. I invite everyone else to look back at the whole thread too, paying attention to which are the oldest works and which are the newer. In what is really short amount of time, you have vastly improved your line work, shading, rendering of scenery, and your composition- a total improvement.

While your artistic influences are obvious(Holloway), you do have your own style, and I've seen another artist(sculptor Juan Diaz) developmentally go from being somewhat of a mimic of another artist(sculptor Chris Fitzpatrick) to becoming one of the top artists in his field; with an exceptional style all of his own(Juan really is a badarse sculptor now). I think you are well on your way to doing the very same thing. This is just great stuff, and at this rate you could end up becoming one of the iconic illustrators of the RPG industry. Seriously. I look forward to whatever comes next. Cool

Well, now. We have some interesting stuff going on here. I initially assumed that the treants and the trolls were all offended at the fire and about to attack the PCs (those trolls don't appear to be frightened by such a small fire). Then, I caught the upper troll's arm wrapped up in one of the treant's branches as if the treant were protecting the adventurers from the troll's attack.

I like the different beards possessed by each treant and the cloudy eye of the one on the right.

Thanks everyone for the kind words...it's what keeps me trying to get better at this whole art thang. And thanks for the words of confidence on my art, Cebrion. I'm always trying to improve, so your words of encouragement might mean I'm on the right track.

Thanks again everyone! Happy

Glad, it's awesome to see you getting so much work. When I see your art attached to a product now it's cool to know I saw your stuff here first. Good luck in the coming year!

Never mess with an evil necromancer when he has an undead stone giant at his disposal.

Damn, I thought we called no giants on this one!

The guy with the mace looks like he knows it's the end, or that the mace will not be enough. Great stuff as always I look forward to seeing your next work. Feel free to share more at anytime.

Later
