More pics

Been one of those weeks (or two weeks), so have some more arts.

All pen and watercolours.

Art Alart!

I've been doing some clearing out of my cupboards and shelves, and as such have re-discovered many of my old (and not so old) sketchbooks.

Thus, a giant image dump is in order:

Most of these date back to around 2005-6ish and are related to RPG stuff, but some others are quite recent, such as this one:

Satu Veredesdottir, freelance berserk. Felt tip pen and watercolours.

"I have the fanciest hat, therefore I'm in charge."

Not from anything, just a sketch.

Character designs for Blinded Eyes do See. Drawing them helps to visualise hights (duh) as well as cement clothing and that sort of thing.

Ursula, Soni and Fiju - work outfits

Usrula, Soni and Mauer

Some other character sketches:

Dark Eldar / Corsair:

"Le sigh...."

This is where we get into some serious nerd territory - roleplaying character sketches. Brace yourselves...

This is the cast of a rather epic campaign (ergo why I felt the need to draw them all). And yes, that is a tiny pimp, yoda and a variety of fae creatures there. It was a blend of Exalted, Changeling, Norse mythology, traditional D&D, Dragonball Z, teen angst, romance, betrayal, true love, and a rastafarian turtle.

It was very strange to say the least... pic's in HB pencil.


One of the NPCs (ballpoint pen):

My second character, a hard bitten, cynical, nihilistic elven ranger (HB pencil):

She was quite fun to play, being openly antagonistic to humans, and dismissive and condescending to the other PCs for being stupid enough to think adventuring was a good career choice. At one point she gave a 'stay in school' lecture to one PC and his friends.

She died in a volcano.

(to clarify the errupting volcano was a Kobold stronghold on self-destruct and she stayed behind to provide comfort to a bunch of trapped Ents we couldn't rescue, so it was quasi-heroic).


On the left my first character, Mirjam, and on the far right Cellor, one of the other PCs.

The main story is that Cellor ran away from home to seek out the great sorcerer Yoda as he wasn't learning anything in school. He eventually found Yoda in his Ent-top treehouse, where he met Mirjam (who hated him on sight).

She hated him as she had been cursed to turn into a wolf by an Elf, and was forced to flee her village for obvious reasons, though the villagers killed her father and brother whilst burning down her house. She was found and taken in, serving as Yoda's housekeeper when she wasn't getting blind drunk due to being horribly depressed.

It later transpired Cellor's dad was the one who curse Mirjam (dun dun duuuunnnn! He's the guy giving the death stare in the group shot), as well as a war brewing between the fae demi-gods and the like.

The guy in the middle is Ulrich, who was living in the Fae city with his daughter (who is Fae, and can be seen in the group shot) - he was just crazy enough to try and court Mirjam, and they later got married. Cellor later became an honourary kinsman and the northmen tried to make a man out of him, somewhat unsuccessfully...

I copied and colourised part of the above picture, adding a bit more dynamism to her dress as only the sheet and her hair seemed to be caught in the wind (it's magic wind!).

Mirjam's concept was borne out of my almost always playing the fighter / tank (or smart-arse rogue). She was a character with absolutely zero combat related skills, so was a nice challenge to play from the norm and definately one of my favourites.



Ulrich build her a house (with some help):

I either copied or heavily borrowed the design, and buggered up the scanning a bit.

The third PC, Arabella (a fairy who lived in the Ent), ended up with a castle:

The top pic is a rough diagram done by the GM, and I expanded upon the design.

Ballpoint pen.


A later campaign  was heavily inspired by Chinese mythology:

The three PCs - mine is LiGang on the right (fighter / tank, see?). I can't remember the other two's names, but if you can read the script above them it'll give you a (probably terrible) translation.


Lastly a schematic for probably our most stupidly over-the-top campaign - high tech, high magic space pirates. We had a Lifejammer helm powering the jacuuzi:

Tech drawing in highschool paid off though. Other insanity includes selling a whole planet into slavery (well, it was a moon, and it got towed wholesale), our cargo bay full of angels in jars (and five H-Bombs), my character's equipment list was "Crate o' guns, Chainsaw"...

Good fun!

Baby Got Razorbacks

I like small tanks and I cannot lie,
You other brothers can't deny,
That when a girl walks in with an Battlefoam Case,
And a Razor list in your face,
You get sprung!

Wanna pull out? Tough!
'Cause you notice that 'back was stuffed,
Assault meltas and a Priest it’s bearing,
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring.
Oh baby, I wanna play you,
And something so new,
My clubmates tried to warn me,
But that ‘back you got makes m-m-m-me so horny

Ooh, she’s Raz-o'-back-in,
You say you wanna Pitch Deploy?
Well, Flank Refuse me, Refuse me,
'Cause you ain't that average groupie.
I've seen them glancin’,
To hell with lancin’,
She's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a Melta 'Vet.

I'm tired of magazines,
Sayin' fluff-bunnies are the thing,
Take the average blog man and ask him that -
She gotta pack Razorbacks!

So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the ‘back? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to spam it! (Spam it!) Spam it! (Spam it!)
Spam that MSU ‘back!
Baby got ‘backs!


(Demon paint on an ‘ard Boyz booty)
Baby got ‘backs!


I like 'em small, and on wheels,
And when I'm clubbing a seal,
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal:
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout Comp Score,
'Cause playin’ nice is such a bore,

I want lists tuned, tricked-out and nasty,
So bring that Leaf Blower,
Mix-a-Lot'll knock it over,
Gunnin’ for a place at that top table.
So I'm lookin' at bat-rep videos
Fluff-bunny carebares playin’ like schmoes,
You can have them newbies,
I'll keep my opponents like Kirby,

A word to the WAAC soul players, I wanna get with ya
I won't cuss or hit ya,
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *win* -
It’s the way I was born.
‘backs got it goin' on,
A lot of wimps won't like this song,
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it,
And I'd rather stay and play,
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong,
And I'm down to get the RazorSpam on!

So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna roll trip Land Raiders? {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even Jervis has to shout
Baby got ‘backs!


Baby got ‘backs!
Yeah, baby ... when it comes to army lists, White Dwarf ain't got nothin',
to do with my selection. Vanilla Captain? Ha ha, only if he’s on a bike.


So your girlfriend rolls a Rhino, lovin’ to not move and fire fro',
But Rhinos sitting still are just time bombs,
My army list don't want none,
Unless you've got guns, hun,
You can do Storm Ravens or Dreadnoughts,
But please don't lose that ‘back.
Some brothers wanna play that "comp" role,
And tell you that the ‘back ain't gold,
So they toss it and leave it,
And I pull up quick to retrieve it.

So BoLS says Sisters 're back,
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause the ‘dex is small and Faith is stinkin’
But I'm still thinkin' bout switchin’,

To the metal dames in that magazine:
You ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me plastic, I can't resist it,
Lead and FineCast just miss it!
Some knucklehead tried to dis,
'Cause melta-spam girls are on my list,
He had game but he chose to nerf 'em,
And I roll up quick and table 'im.

So ladies, if the ‘back is around,
And you want a win at all costs throw down,
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT,
And bring them nasty thoughts,

Baby got 'BACKS!


I posted this in the comments on BoLS for some reason, so decided to share it with you all.

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite blog on the Citadel

So it appears I forgot to post pics of these guys finished:

Commander Shep Shepard, paragon Earthborn Soldier.

Base model is an Infinity Pan-Oceanea Orc Troop w shotgun. Pity about the shotgun as I mostly use an assault rifle in ME, but no biggy.

 

Dr. Liara T'Soni

Infinity Alpeh Sophotects with her assault rifle cut down and a bit of greenstuffing to add some more accurate straps and torso armour.

 

Tali'Zorah vaas Normandy

Infinity Haqqisslam Odalisques, with a rather large amount of modification.
