Well,

Here's a piece I did for a contest over on Blizzard. This is pretty much my first attempt at toning a pencilled image on the computer.

C&C welcome.

Hey good job! I checked out your website too, I actually like this piece the most from you, nice action and linework. The only comment I have is that the skull area on the skeleton warrior is a lot clearer on the original, I couldn't really tell what was going on there in the finish piece, maybe its just me. When will we see the color?

pff what barb uses an axe. Its all about the dual grandfathers. Or doombringers.
Also he should clearly be using a staff class weapon if hes fighting undead. 150% damage! Its very good though.

Well I like it, though his left arm (our right) doesn't look quite right.

In truth, it looks far better than most of the blizzard concept art =)

Hey Jer

love the toned version! Instantly looks much more dramatic than the lineart. Really like the way you've used the light and shadow in the image. Go for colour now!

Hey everybody,

Thanks for the great comments! I appreciate all your observations. It's so very entertaining to hear what people think because art is so relative to the viewer.

I've got a couple more pieces that are coming along and I'll post them up soon. In the meantime, I do have a piece up over on the Thunderdome thread.

Thanks again!

I think I like your penciled image better. The scratchy background looks great. I'm also a fan of the darkened edge thing, and you've done a great job at it.

So, is that the Spire of Lazarus being dropped?

Actually, I think it looks more like the Phallic Club of Righteousness.

oo very nice. If i knew there was a diablo contest i might have entered.

the diablo2 1.10 patch just came out for all who don't know.
It's harder, funner and neatter.

*runs to play*

Ugh.

I looked through several anatomy books I have and I get the "sense" that your right. I couldn't find a real clear view but, I think your right. I wish I woulda noticed sooner!

Oh well. Let's just call it "Artistic Lisence" for now. Heh.

Thanks for the comment! That won't happen again.
