| ShadowDragon I agree on the face thing. I am still learning (thats really why I like doing this art, because I get to draw things I prolly never would have before. Get out of my comfort zone.) and I still have issues with drawing ethnic features without them looking like a caricature. Then things get really rough when I get people asking for me to draw ethnic trolls or other metatypes. It's hard to decide which set of features will win out. Taco pete was just something I made up, I had no idea it was on previous SR artwork. I imagined a surplus copter as having a lived in feel....heh. We do have a place called Taco John's here though (Idaho) |
Heh. Thanks for trying, anyway.
I like it, but she dosen't really look Chinese... She has more of a gaunt, emaciated, bitter old hag look than I was thinking, too....... But I think that's the result of not being rounded of head.
Keep the good work up, mate.
...I'll try to keep this shorter than the last two (which were taken almost directly from the character bios I had written).
Tomoe: (Tomoe Sasaki) Great Granddaughter of the legendary Mariner's closer Kazuhiro Sasaki.
Native Japanese: Human/Mundane (not many metas in the land of the rising sun)
Medium height, Athletic, but not buff.
Shoulder length black hair
Dark eyes
Has the face of a Geisha.
Mid 20s
a "Bio adept" (all Bioware - Synaptic Accelerator II, Muscle Augmentation & Toner. Enhanced Articulation, Orthoskin etc.)
No chrome except for a few retinal mods
Former Baseball player (never made it out of the minors - according to Shadowbeat though there are some women players there is still a fairly strong bias against them)
Wears armoured jacket styled as Mariners warm up jacket & armoured baseball cap (Check mariners.com for logo - still don't know how to post a link here yet).
Melee weapon of choice: Titanium bat
Ranged weapons of choice: Baseballs & grenades (several varieties including white phosphor), though she occasionally uses shiriken.
No firearms or smartlink (a no-no in Japan)
Primary skills include: Athletics (Baseball), Clubs (Baseball Bat), Throwing Weapons, Stealth, (as she refers to it, "Base Stealing"), Unarmed (Ju Jitsu)
Has a strong love for "the Game" and undying respect for its "heroes" (yes she has an extensive baseball card collection). Very honourable and polite, and follows most of Japan's time honoured traditions (save for the way women are treated - hence why she moved to the UCAS).
Take your time with this one if you need to...She was a really fun character to play. Had we not become involved with that GD, she easily could have chalenged KK as my all time favourite.
...and never Never cut a deal with a Dragon - Especially a Great Dragon...

| Questions real quick: Sledges hair, in the description it says it is flowing but cut to a half inch or something like that. I am having a hard time picturing that. But then it has been a long day |
I would say his doo is like a slightly-shaggy mop of hair that always seems to fall just right. Kind of like some overly-pretty Abercrombie model.

| Does Jonathan wield any weaponry? Currently he is just standing there. |
As a rule of thumb, John wields either an HK assault rifle or a nasty LMG (that usually just stays mounted in the van, though).
| QUOTE |
| Other than that anything else you wanna throw my way to change in this early stage would be great superfly. |
Hmmm...
The only things I would see fit to mention are that Sledge's nose has been broken several times (but would be kind of appealing in an Owen Wilson sort of way) ... that John wears a turtle-neck most of the time to hide some hideous throat scarring (also to cover the cyber-replacement chest/arm he was involuntarily implanted with) ... and that Tony always keeps his horns and tusks sanded/polished down to neat knobs (and he always wears expensively tailored suits, he's quite metrosexual).

| Sorry if they seem a bit cramped, I don't think I've ever drawn this many folks in one picture before. |
No way, man; this looks GREAT! I can't begin to describe how excited I and my group are about this sketch. Your efforts are GREATLY appreciated and well worth the wait. You've got fantastic talents, and your dedication to the Shadowrun community is highly commendable.
I'm sorry for not responding sooner, but the motherboard on my desktop is dead and I've been incognito for the past few weeks. I'll be keeping in touch on my laptop, however.
Thank you so much for the time and effort you're putting into this piece, Squinks!!
EDIT: Oh, and Anne-Marie is an elf -- despite her small stature. Wasn't sure if the round ears on the sketch were and indicator of her race or not.
Dude, could you do Shen Lung? Here's a description.
His hair is shoulder-length and flowing, and he wears a suit that's always flowing with black and white, yin and yang in fractal permutations. It may be magic, it may be color-changing fabric. He's a powerful sorceror. His suit has no Chinese characters or anything on it besides the fractal yin-yang. He is a Chinese elf. When he uses magic, Chinese characters and freaky designs pop up around him.
I'd like the picture to be one of him conjuring a spirit in his mana lodge, if possible. *PLEASE*

| Glad you liked it man! And go ahead and throw those other characters at me, I'm always willing. Ok here is my first version: Knassers Hernandez (joke version) Sorry, I had too. The real one now: Knasser's Hernandez |
LOL! I like the joke version but I like your version better. That is one evil looking aztec. It's really good and there's a real buzz when your character gets drawn. It's sort of like fame!
Can't fault it! You even got Hernandez's hideous level of muscle detail and the casual jacket.
Much thanks, El Squinky!
-Khadim.
I liked my picture so much I coloured it in!
Hernandez Colour
Actually, although it took about 10 minutes to do this in the GIMP, it actually brought out details in your artwork that I'd missed. Like the way Hernandez is actually standing in front of the border around the picture. I hadn't realised how that adds to the impact. I like it more and more.
Thanks again!
-K.

That is SO FREAKIN' AWESOME! Totally bad ass. You did a fantastic job on the tat as well! Man, thanks a bunch for doing this. If it's not too much to ask, I might post up some other characters from that campaign. I'll need to get a go-ahead from the guys that played them, but after they see Doc I'm sure they'll beg me to post them. |

Hey. You click the magic wand tool, you click a bit of the picture. You click a colour. You click the picture. Sometimes things become green that ordinarily wouldn't be green. That happens.
Anyway - looks like I started something. Squinky draws us a groovy picture. We colour it in. Yay!

In 2074, the first reported case of "Partial Goblinization" was documented in a man known as "Hernandez."
Reports that he is now "Hung like a Troll" are unconfirmed.

Okay, because I want to make sure and get the A-team pic right, and because I need a little break from it , heres the revised sketch. At this point I can change many things, and then go ahead with inking at your command Superfly.
The colored images make me want to try with the coloring thing again, something of which I am no pro, heh.

Dude, when do you think I'll see my sketch? I'm not trying to rush you, I was just wondering when. I REALLY wanna see him visualized, and if I had a timeframe accurate to within a week, I would be very happy.

There's a list of those waiting in line (and when they signed up) in the very first post.
Okay, probably February or something. I can wait.

Man, I would love to give that to you, but it's hard for me to say really. I don't have any other art projects now, but when I get them it can really bring this whole gig to a halt.
I'll make sure and send you a pm when I get a sketch going on your character though, if that makes you feel any better
. And I hope to hell it isn't February before I get to him. Anyways:

Linkage to the Color
Went and colored the A-Team Sketch. Took me around 8 hours to do all that and I got a little tired towards the end, but the end was all the small stuff.
I got to say that the Inked images are alot easier to color due to more room for error.
Very nice.
I have to admit, your early work didn't really grab me, but the more I see it, the more the style is growing on me. Four String's is particularly nice.

The shadowtalk is a beautiful touch!
Hmm....i have another character, Vil, who i wouldn't mind seen drawn....so i guess i'll give a sign up, i dont mind waiting.
Let's see, pretty tall, above average build, but not huge. Shoulder-length, thick brown hair(well, black and white pics of course, but habit.) Usually dresses in tanks, jeans, heavy boots, old, worn black military jacket. Looks handsome but a little on the disheviled side, like he sleeps about four hours a night. Small bit of scruff on his chin. Is always seen smoking a ciggarette and more often than not with coffee/alcohol. Weapons specialist that knows how to use almost anything that's been produced thats held in a hand, as well as fix/improve/repair it(or break it ;p) i guess somewhere on him a harness with a heavy pistol somewhere or his combat axe would work. About 30 years old. Prefers to work with small-medium firearms, combat axe, knife, unarmed. No visible chrome; his cybereyes are colored like his natural, gray.

The drawings look really good. Here's one more, if you wouldn't mind doing it.
Benson is an average height, medium-to-heavy build human. In his combat gear, he wears a rapid-transit type jumpsuit with a slim-line armoured vest over the torso, as well as army boots, a utility belt, gloves, a half-face gas mask, a black kevlar helmet, and goggles kind of like these. He carries a FN HAR with a sling, a side-holstered Ares Viper on the right side of his belt, and a combat knife strapped to his thigh. He also carries a back pack, and several hand grenades are strapped to the left side of his belt.
Okay that seems about all. Cheers!

The only other suggestion i can make is that maybe Yembo could have some booze and a magical fireball (or something) in hand. Just to display that he's the magic behind the team?
Other than that, feel free to proceed as necessary, my friend.
...Oh, and a lot of #S-Runners are requesting an Anne-Marie solo pic for kicks.
I want an Anne solo pic too
I did up a picture of Anne-Marie today, and even spent a good couple hours coloring it. I always save a lot, and I managed to save right as a power surge hit my computer. Now Photoshop won't let me open it up.....
Anyways, I'm sure I'll get it up here soon, I just don't currently have the patience to go through that again, and I have in-laws to visit regardless.
Happy Holidays.

Wow! Now in Living Colour. Nice Very Nice.
I've no complaints about the style or the look.

...Dark Blue eyes
...Fair complexion (no freckles)
Maybe as the lovely (yet still girlish) performer all dolled up in a long black concert dress. .

Thanks man!
I am skipping about a bit I know.....The A-team picture just doesn't seem to be what I am in the mood for. It's halfway inked though, so soonish. Sorry.
Anyways:
Kyoto Kid's Violet
I think she may have ended up looking to old, but I tried man.
...yeah, she looks older than she actually is, however the basic look is great. You captured her "Lemony Snicketts" style perfectly down to the fishnet sleeves.
I actually have the entire 13 book Unfortunate Events set titled The Complete Wreck Wonderful stories. I actually wrote the character's backstory in the Snicketts style.
Suggestions if I may,
Maybe a more softer, narrower chin giving her a more heart shaped face. Also prominent smile and cheekbone lines can often make a subject appear older. In the picture of Anne Marie, there are no lines in her face and it makes her look a lot younger.
Check out the old DC comic Death The lead character has that delicate noir style face.
Admittedly, I seem to have the opposite issue, all the women I draw tend look like 15-17 year old girls. It took me four tries to get my NPC Lady Grande to look like she's 53.

Nothing to see here.
Kyoto, thanks again for the Critique. I guess we all have our weak points and it's good to get feedback on them. I still would love to see some of your work, if you can ever get them scanned.
Currently I have half the characters inked in the long running A-team picture. I also started up a picture with all three of LoreChaser's Characters together, and have that mostly inked. For some reason I feel intimidated by the big A-team picture and hop over to others to give myself a break....Dosen't really make sense I know, but it's how I roll.
Anyways expect some more soonish.

Too awesome. They look great!
Hoodoo in particular is excellent. He looks quite sufficiently psycho and annoyed at the world. And Dragon certainly is human looking. If he weren't, say, 3 feet taller than his friends, you'd never know he was a troll.
Thanks Squinky!
Now I gotta break out PS and start colorin'....

...just picked up a scanner for free (need to find a driver though)
The only thing with my work is that it is all in pencil (which doesn't reproduce very well). With my stiff shaky hands inking is no longer an option.
BTW Love "Lorechasers" Nice group pic.
I know you have a lot of work still in the queue so this would be a far flung project.
Would be kind of neat to see the a Groznek/Grande family portrait, circa 2070
