this is all going brilliantly. looking forward to more

(800th reply...heavy)

Trogo's sketch is nice, but not quite right to me (a bit too square on the chin and a bit too straight on the hair). Squinky knows how I feel though.

It's still great art.

Okay, here is the an attempt at revising Cadmus's character closer to his vision:

Cadmus Sketch #2

Awaiting approval.


I'll try and get another shot up at Trogo here soonish.

looks good man

I'm still here, just having life get in my way on this. I have plans made to hit art after work every night this week, so hopefully I'll get this rolling better soon.

Squinky we've said it before and I am sure we'll say it again take your time do your thing and thanks for all your hard free work.

Thanks man, I guess I am just the apologetic type

Cadmuses picture finished

..sweet. I like the two different weapons ('course I am always partial to revolvers). He looks confident if not even a bit "relaxed".

Thanks Kyoto.

Here is a revised version of Trogo's sketch:

Trogo Revision

...I love the Jacket and tie. Gives him that "Falling Down" look (excellent film).

Jumped ahead here:

BishopMcQ's Carter sketch

Edit:

Also:

Satyr's Zion Sketch

Edit again:

Waregears Chrono and Silver sketch

Very nice. I like the coin flip and the straight coat. He seems to be weighing outcomes and the coat conceals as much as it projects.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the final piece.

Heh, I don't know why it isn't showing to you, but I uploaded it elsewhere for ya:



Trogo Revised Reuploaded

Hopefully that does it.

...what a trifecta. Been a busy weekend I see.

Carter:

As BishopMcQ mentioned, the coin flip really helps make the character. Often it is the small nuances which can really bring a personality to life.

Zion:

Very nice action pose. A bit stocky & muscular compared to a typical elf, but then who says shadowrunners are at all "typical"? Heck I always like to say a little Bone Lacing and Muscle Augmentation can do a body good.

Chrono and Silver:

Excellent duo pic. I like the tats on Chronos' arms (read the full description of the characters) looks like he's ready for a bit of fisticuffs (after which he'll probably buy you a pint at the pub). Would like to see him wearing his hard hat. Silver, ahh I can see it would be hard to say "no" to her during a deal. Again, I like the background story, particularly her being a burnout adept gone chrome & bio.

All in all some really sweet work, I can't wait to se the finished versions.

BTW, given any thought to the Skate/KK swimsuit pic? Looks like the original thread was pulled down by the undertow, so it may be better to post it here. Pity, I have finished the final draft of the Leela Swimsuit sketch. Looks like I'll have to go to Kinkos or some place like that to get it scanned since I am unable to get the scanner I have to boot up. Ah what can I say, it was free anyway.

BTW 2, I also see you've added Da Brat to the list. Nice.

Thanks Kyoto, I recieved and reviewed your reply Pm and will get something going soonish. Next I plan on reworking BishopMcQ's carter or Trogo, which ever comes first.


Here is Zion all done:

Saytr's Zion

I like the broken wall and the idea it is cutting off certian words

...wow, now with the ink & toning that is really nice.

Holy WOW. I can't WAIT to see Skate + KK...


Speaking of not waiting, I'll toss another one onto the pile, for shits and giggles.


Bubba the Love Troll.


Yes, that's right. I went there. The running gag of dumpshock, lurker of every possible prison cell the player's male elf could get thrown into, from a Lone Star drunk tank to Hollywood to a Tir (Na nOg) quintiple-black max slam.


I'll give no specifications on this one, other than the name. Have fun with it.

...uhh, didn't I see him in the last thread I was on. Boy, he sure gets around don't he?

Yeah, that character ought to be a treat

Heres a shot at redoing Carter:


Carter redone sketch

...wow., The "camera angle" lends a nice dynamic. Since it is the prelim and fairly light, I am wondering, is that a little spy drone hovering behind him?

Yeah, it is. I think I will rework it though, it looks a little clunky. I am hoping to have it be a light source for a more interesting effect.

Here is a pic I just did for myself . Been a good while since I got to do something like that:

Squinky's Nameless Ork Chick

I inked with a paintbrush pen, all except for the face, playing around with different media.

I was going to post it in the swimsuit thread....but its gone...

Squinky--I love the rework! All the small details and nuances are really coming out this time, which I didn't see a lot of on the previous piece.

I noticed that the sketch was light, but when I darkened it in photoshop, the details with the sign and drone behind Carter started to come out. This time through the coat has a lot more detail and the character seems more alive than before. (The difference between a candid shot and one framed for photography, if you know what I mean.)

Out of curiousity, what is the item on the back of his hand? It looks similar to a Link from Babylon 5.

PS--The swimsuit thread is here. It just slid down because there hasn't been a new post since June 11.

Squinky Zion looks great i couldnt have imagined a better drawing of him in a action shot with his two Ares slivers, plus all the details like his COM and belt utilities and his wares are all great.

...Ahh, The Spirit, Excellent title. I have a number of issues in my collection.

...well it would result in some serious thread necromancy beyond CPR or even an HOG.

I believe it's lifeless waterlogged corpse has fallen back to at least p. 10 on the SR4 forum by now.

Well, its not necromancy if you have something of value to add to it

Go to the swimsuit thread here

Link courtesy of BishopMcQ of course.


Here is Trogo all inked up as well:



Trogo the Tagger inked up


Thanks all.

...Trogo: Very nice indeed. Now that is my type of "management technique" (hmmm may have to use it to keep those salespeople in line )

Devilrats! now you are forcing me to go and get a scan done and find someone with good touch up software.

...guess it's kind of fitting that she will be the first piece in my DeviantArt gallery.

I was going to try and paint this image, but it didn't work out well

So I decided to mess around with my markers, hope its still cool:

Carter, Infiltration level 3

If this picture picture sticks, I will prolly be on hiatus from this thread for a week, I have some other art I have to put priority on. Unless I missed it, I am still waiting for approval from Waregear also.

Very, very awesome.

Though that drone does look very Crimson Skies. Not that that's a bad thing.

Very sweet! Thanks Squinky for all the hard work on this one. It projects the feeling of Carter very well. The drone and the details in the coat and gloves are great.

Thanks again!!

...wo... excellent work. Glad you kept the drone.

Glad it is well recieved, but I am now really wondering what "Crimson Skies" is.....

...it was another game put out by FASA several years ago. Kind a of period 1930's Hollywood styled Aieral Adventure setting - Think Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

Microsquish has since taken the property over and turned it into a PC/Console game.

The PC game, to be fair, is by far one of my more favorite flight games, beating (with a stick) Jane's Attack Squadron.

Ah, thanks again for the info.

Hey Squinky I saw the art for the swimsuit but you didn'y post the namesless ork chic for that I think you need to add her to the swimsuit stuff too.

Ok so I just got access to Emergence and I didn't even make it a page before I find out Squinky has been a bad boy high jacking a Gridcab in Seattle bad Squinky

Yeah, I about crapped my self with happyness when I found out . Pretty awesome.
