My First Post

[Lake]

oh man I LOVE the concept of the bridge troll. I just wish it were more finished, you know?

[Piecemaker]

thanks for the comment LAKE

yeah i know:-) sometimes i have a desire to draw some idea and when i think
the idea is visualized clear enuff i loose my interest in the painting.

[Piecemaker]

hey im back
here is another concept for holmgang. the Amorphus
a creature from Hel. crits plz

[Lake]

Looks prett-t-ty good! his leg and shadow are rather unfinished though, even though his head is detailed liek woa. Consistency!

[Piecemaker]

ok ill work a bit more on shadow and leg then. thanks dude

[Piecemaker]

some quick illustrations for a pen&paper roleplaying campaign im in. i once made a bunch of tombstone brushes for fun:-) frst time i used em.

[Piecemaker]

hey there
here is my next Art Crusade entry: Dark Abominations ; battle at the horrors.
as often very rough because in the end i got no time left

[Lotet]

not to shabby, really dark stuff, me like the updates, keep it up.

[Piecemaker]

thx lotet. i will
i love your vector works and you too got a nice dark undertone in your drawings.

[Piecemaker]

some mech idea i just scribbled down. the head 'disk' with the glowing dots is always rotating to give him a weird look.

[Piecemaker]

here is a new viking char for Holmgang. some tank char using shield and sword. what cha think? ill add in a face and colors late

[Piecemaker]

art crusade battle 5 poll is up. i need ya votes guys

btw can someone tell me how i can get such a lil preview icon for my sketchbook?
cheers guys

[pepps]

hey, nice new stuff! uhm...what do you mean you don't like the colros in the end? you don't like the base color choises, or the way the coloring looks? (if it's the first case, some color thumbs might do the trick). i think they have a very nice impact, and quite characteristic hehe but that's me =)
if i can throw a critic to the last guy..well it's not really a critic, but the help for me it's not really fitting with the rest of the armor...looks more like a phat loot piece..it's of way better facture that the rest...and uhm...it's also quite characteristic for me...also cause it's in the head, so grabs my attention first, giving me an idea of the character..but then the rest of the armor is not really following that feeling and feels a bit strange...if you know what i mean. i'm not saying it's wrong, it's just the feeling i get =)
cheers!

edit: for the img, i think you need to put an attachment in the first post...not sure though..

[Piecemaker]

Hoi Pepps
thx for ya view. i have the same feeling with the viking char. he doesnt look too consistent. initially i had the task to make a concept for a heavy armored tank viking. then i had the idea to form a dragon into a viking helmet. after i painted the silhouette and the helmet i said to myself: hmm he must look more like a viking so i added all the hard leather armor plates and the fur stuff. so i ended up with steel plate elements, leather armor, chainmail, fur and cothes-->maybe a bit 2 much. the high amount of detail (in conjunction with a unique silhouette and characteristic colors) is necessary to distinguish player characters from npcs. for the colors, well.. to me they always feel to strong and 'dreamy'. unfortunately adjusting saturation or levels doesnt help to much:-(.
cheers dude

[raptory]

Hoi
does anyone know whether i can still add a thumbnail for my sketchbook? and if so how i can do that?
thx guys

[Psy]

Het bro, great stuff as usual,

Yeah I figured it out after a while, I think you paste a picture into the very first post . (So at the top of page 1- Edit post, then add picture and save the changes.
It should come up after that.(I think)

Take care,
drop by sometime, Id love to hear what critiques you could give.

[Piecemaker]

hey psy how is it going?

this thumbnail thing isnt workin for me. i tried via attachement manager and photobucket. do i need a special resolution for the preview image? thanks anyway and ill drop by in a minute:-)

[Piecemaker]

now its working. thanks a lot psy

[Piecemaker]

here is a quick one for the DSG

[TLL]

I really like the Graveyard painting you did for your pen and paper rpg. I think it shows the dark atmosphere very well.

By the way, I'm just interested in which rpg you play. D&D, Schwarzes Auge, or something else.

[Piecemaker]

Hey TLL
nice of you for dropping by.
right now im leading 2 D&D 3.5 campaigns. one is set in a self made world and the other one in the planescape universe. I played quite a few RPGs in the last 14 years .
back in the days i started with DSA (das schwarze Auge). after that i played shadowrun(a lot), saga, earthdawn, vampire tm, kindred of the east, Call of Cthulhu(a lot) and a warhammer40k rpg conversion. 50% gamemaster 50% gamer id say.
How about u?

im pretty happy how the graveyard turned out. actually it was a speedie that surprisingly worked well after i think 2 hours or so

take care

[TLL]

I started with DSA and now I'm playing D&D. But I'm going to be the leader of two DSA campaigns in a few months.

The warhammer40k rpg conversion sounds interessant to me. Which game was the base of this conversion?

[Surion]

very nice sketchbook, subscribed!
