Here is something that I just did for a RPG rulebook.

You guys saw it here first....(lucky sonofaguns).

Hope you guys like it.

Ooo, nice. I particularly like the first one, though they're both very dynamic.

Excellent. I love futuristic stuff.

I role-play in Fantasy, but I like drawing Tech better.

Not bad at all...

...I like the 1st one better than the 2nd one.

What is it with RPG anthros having wings?

I have to admit, they're damn kickin', though.

I wish I had wings.

I love the detail on that lineart... are you allowed to tell us which book the art is for.

edit: It makes me think of GURPS somehow...

I think thats just more of a demon than an anthro, but of course wings make everything better, so long as you remember the theory of diminishing wing returns.

It actually makes me think of rifts but thats partially because of the 2nd one and the style of their B&W rulebook art isn't too disimilar.

And it is indeed quite awesome. Great axe in the first one.

...get it? Great Axe? Greataxe? Oh god I'm so horrible....

EDIT: just so we don't keep guessing can you tell us who you're doing the work for?

Why yes, I do like it!
I like the costume on the second guy, but both are insane

Wah!

I love the inking! What pen did you use to ink it?

Komiyan · Post by **Komiyan** » Sun May 15, 2005 7:17 am

I thought it might have been digital inking.. Tell us!

Wow! Evil Jamie! It's been a while.

Sniff...everyone's coming back to the forums. ^_^

Thanks guys.

All I can say at this time is that it is for a super-hero RPG. Sorry.

Will tell you guys more when I can.

As for the inking, it is not digital.

I used to use a brush, but now I use some steadler felt tip pen. It is faster and gives me more control.

And 99% of the time people cannot tell the diference.

Then I tweaked it using photoshop.

Hm... super heroes with edged weapons are scary.

That looks very, very good. I actually preferred the last one, but that might just be because I have a thing with robot suits.

Rkolter · Post by **Rkolter** » Mon May 16, 2005 6:23 am

Very rifts-like, I concur.

And really well done!

Yeeeah, I've kinda taken to lurking lately. Still here though.

Very good!

Nice tone work on the Mech Suit/Robot!
It's very Paladium Books-ish!

Did you use the old Zip tones or a Photoshop screen pattern?

KathleenJ · Post by **KathleenJ** » Mon May 16, 2005 8:53 am

Here's me, jumping late on the bandwagon to say that these are very nice and dynamic. The inking is great.

Thanks guys.

I applied a dark grey with photshop, then I played around with the opacity until I got the grey I wanted.

Very nice. Are you making anymore for this RPG?
