Cover Art and Computer Graphics

[Radthorne]

I'm going on vacation soon, so I have to get all my artwork in...

[Radthorne]

And, here's another one, that's in the style of artist Michael Parkes.

[Radthorne]

I'm having fun with my new horse models!

[Radthorne]

This one is called "Hanging Out at the Airlock"

[Radthorne]

But wait, there's more!

[KatG]

Okay, the airlock one is brilliant -- do that one at conferences. The second one, she's less anime looking than he is, so it seems off-balance to me. Maybe it's his face that's doing it.

Oooh, brilliant! I like that.

Yep, I agree. Also, his skin is much darker than hers, exacerbated by the lighting.

Fix underway...

[Radthorne]

Ok, I made a partial fix to it (replacing the existing picture above). It's still not quite right, but - I've run out of time and have to pack for Madison and WFC! So, I'll touch it up some more when I get back.

[Radthorne]

This one is called "The Warrior"

[Radthorne]

Busy, busy, busy... This one is called "Green Dragon."

[KatG]

Interesting -- the warrior one has a very realistic face, with a more graphic background, and the green dragon has a photo-realistic background with a more graphic figure.

[Radthorne]

Well, that keeps things all nicely balanced then, doesn't it?

Here's another one, which I call, "Third Son." I'm practicing with shadows...

[JRMurdock]

Dang I forgot to keep up with this thread. Guess I have to post in here to keep up, eh?

Now that I've gone through everything here and at your site, I have to ask...

Have you given serious thought to doing a web based comic? If you did say two pages a week and put those out, you'd have a huge following. You may even want to talk to Liam and see about doing it. Very nice stuff. It's awesome to see the evolution since you started this thread. You've been practicing, that's for sure.

Keep it coming.

Thank you, sir!

I haven't thought about a web comic, to be honest. Intriguing idea, though. I think you're right about being able to build up a readship - at Foolscap I was on a panel with Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade, and it's pretty amazing how they developed a pretty serious following for their stuff. It would be a bit of a commitment, though, which right now I'm kind of funneling toward the novels. The art is my evening relaxtion... Although I do have a professional project or two lurking in the wings...
