wow. umm..yeah, just wow. You've done it, you have rendered the shadowraven near speechless with your art.
I take that as a huge compliment! I hope to render you speechless again in the future.
i want a Goblin paladin/cavalier in full plate mail
That sounds like such an interesting idea! I haven't drawn a goblin for years.
Why? It would be easier to put in in chains. Chained or in a plate mail, he can't move anyway.
And nice pictures. :-)
Thank you and hehehe. I guess goblins can wear small plate mail like from halflings, heaven knows some of the halflings in our party have stolen armor from gobbos before.
Wow!
Thank you!
dang, you're good.
how about doing "Oback of sands" a copper kobold dragonborn earth druid , and his earth elemental companion.
Thank you and wow, that's a very interesting concept. I do love the idea of quirky characters, especially creatures.
WOW!
Eeeee thank you.
Very creative work! That Monkey Monk is particularly original.
Thanks, I was a little worried that people may think I'd been a little too inspired by the Monkey show, but I guess the idea of Sun Wukong flying on a cloud is a very recurring image in Chinese mythology.
I do personally love adding a little extra something to my role playing game playable characters by way of their appearance. My main playable character in my regular D&D group is a Dragonborn Sorceress named Antigone, despite the physical description of the Dragonborn in 4th ed. I picture her looking a little more human-esque with gold scales and horns. Here is a picture I drew of her last year:
This was done for an artist original trading card and measures 4 x 5 inches.
Here is another 4 x 5 inch card from last year of my Skyrim Dark Elf character. I downloaded some mods to give her adorable pigtails.

After the nod from a few members here I've decided to share some recent-ish concept art pieces. I'm a comic artist by trade but got my start illustrating rpg rulebooks for small publishing companies.
I'd love to do more of the same in the future, and have sent some of my work to Reaper recently.
Sketched this up yesterday, I had an idea for a playful cat-girl Merchant / Rogue-type character based off of the Japanese 'Maneki Neko' or 'Welcome Cat.' I imagine her wielding a large gold or stone club with her greeting carved into it.
At the end of last year I was commissioned by a DnD group to draw a few of their characters. They gave me a couple of ideas about what they looked like, hair, eye colour, etc. etc. but it was up to me to design the outfits and the over-all look of the character.
This was the one I had the most fun with. I've played with a few Paladins, and my wow, they're so... Paladin-ish and goody-goody. I wanted to go over-the-top with the crosses and religious paraphernalia with her.
Next up was a Sword Mage that wielded a rapier and had an albino bat familiar.
This was the last one I did. They had a Monk who wanted his character to be very inspired by Son Goku from the t.v. show Monkey, at the very least having his robes the same colour.
I'd love to hear people's ideas as to what sort of characters they play and what they like to see in a miniature concept design.

I've searched around and haven't seen anyone showing off any concept art stuffs.
I bravely sent some samples to Reaper yesterday, but would love some community feedback as well. If I were to start a topic on the subject, not sure where ti start it. In 'show off' maybe?

I usually have a text document saved onto my desktop with my Reaper wishlist.

Probably the Drider Queen and the rest, because I don't have enough of them painted for use already. You can never have too many dark elves available.
I like to surprise my players by throwing real spiders on them. Never underestimate the value of authentic props to enhance the gaming experience.
You are a cruel, cruel man! -
We have a friend who thinks he can hide the box from his wife, as she doesn't know he did the kickstarter. My response is that if he tried to hide it at our house, I would steal all of his dragons. Seriously. He does have this strange idea that it comes in a small box he can slip inside his cabinet...heheheheheheh.
If my husband tried to hide something like this from me, it would be because I would steal it all for myself.
He should buy his wife the new Bones Silverhorn Unicorn and bribe her with it so he can keep the rest. Unicorn bribes are the best.

Amen to that! Cannot wait to get my Drider ladies, their spider-butts gonna bring all the heroes to the yard.

Loving the orange and the purple, they contrast beautifully.

I saw this mini with the base colours on your blog, it looks so fantastic finished! The muscles on his arms pop really nicely.

Thanks Ursha! I've just re-painted some of the gold details back into her robes:

While waiting for my big stash of Reaper Bones to arrive I thought it might pay to work a little on my painting skills since I've never painted a full mini to competition before. I have the first World of Warcraft board game, and picked out a few of the heroes to paint.
First I primed the mini.
Then I laid down the base colours. I decided on a colour scheme very much like my favourite Priest set in the game, the Vestments of the Avatar.
Some details on the back on her cloak.
The gold bits got covered when I shaded her robes, I'll need to go back over those. Also haven't played around with the face much.

Love the detail on this, particularly her hair. The base if great too, really suits her well.

I must admit, I do fear for the postal workers around the globe in the coming month. Shiz gonna get real.

I've been playing around in Photoshop with my idea for the Cloud Giantess:
I like the cloud stockings.
Also, +1 to the idea of keeping your old paint jobs around for comparison. For a couple of my recent projects I was able to dig up an old crappy one that was similar. These were 80s/90s minis, so it's funny seeing the scale creep, too.
Oh, those are stockings. That actually makes me sad; I thought having cloud patterns on her skin would be really cool. Not to mention she seems to have "sunset" colored clouds on her cheek?
They're supposed to be her skin, but I can play with the design element in other areas of her body to make that more obvious.

Hooray, I'm a statistic!

Seriously, the food is totally just in there behind this one-way cage. Just go in a little ways, you'll see it.
Bwahahaha! Yes, I like the way your mind works.

So am I the only one who plans to host a Mini Painting Party where I invite my friends over, make them delicious food to bribe them to help paint my minis?
I wouldn't trust a single one of my cheeto-fingered neanderthal compadres to do sloppy blacklining, much less actually paint.
Well I'm lucky, I have some great painter friends. One won a Golden Demon award many many years ago, and was nearly poached by Games Workshop.

You guessed it. Most of the time I use a mix of Copic and Prismacolour markers with white paint for the highlights. Occasionally I may also use some pencils and watercolors as well.
