The gravel crusher looks awesome, but it doesn't look like a sandstorm. More like snow, I think. Like it's tearing through the mountains somewhere.Fightgarr said:Here's the finished version of the drawing I posted earlier. I added the sandstorm itself, some more cloudiness and balanced colours a little more. Hope you guys like it.
EDIT: I had a productive day and also decided to finish up this piece:
As for the tower on the edge of the world, I still think it looks like the cliff is overhanging the town. Less so now that there's atmospheric effects in front of it, but still a little bit. It does look very cool, though--I'm especially impressed with the level of detail, like the individual stairs and the docks.
Your work is always good, I must say.
I understand what you mean about the snow. I tend to have low levels of saturation in my digital paintings, and that leads to ambiguity in situations like this. I may need to go back and adjust certain colour levels to get the desired effect. As for the town, I know what you mean there too. I think a lot of it has to do just with the way I angled the top of the cliff, I think I'm okay with it overhanging the town, though. So it goes. Thank you very much for the kind words, it really means a lot to me.Zemalac said:

I gotta say though the overhanging cliff, it's a pretty snazzy effect.
Nice to have you back, dude.
I totally forgot to respond to this. Sorry Archemetis.Archemetis said:
Thank you very much for the kind words. I was very busy in my absence. Part of the reason I quit the 'Pist was to re-evaluate the way I spend my time. I ended up with a lot more time to do digital paintings and thus produced a much larger body of work than I otherwise would have.
It's nice to be back, though.
I've been designing weird little creatures.
This one I'm calling the Levitationist, Basically, these creatures developed a mechanical way to enhance the potentially limitless energy found in a mineral which is very un-creatively named Ether.
These guys specialise in finding and working with the Ether, because direct contact with it is harmful.
The Botanist, simply as the name implies they specialise in plant life, the studying and maintaining of plant-life is their passion in life, using the Ether from their gauntlet they can induce small doses of life revitalising energy as well use the gauntlet to register energy readings from the plants themselves.
The Warrior, they're not typically a battle-ready race, their only forces are made in necessity really, for protection, they get a dual gauntlet set-up which allows them to project ether weaponry and armour.
Usually in the forms of swords and shields.
I got bored and did some basic colour on the warrior.

It's a cool little creature. It has a lot of potential for development. What you have here is a good start. What you want to watch out for visually is pose. Your poses here are a little awkward and unnatural-looking. Particularly for the botanist, where one leg has about half as much thigh as calf. In pictures like the warrior, you just need to lengthen his right leg (our left) and it'll be fine. Actually almost all the problems stem from one leg out of two being a little bit off, so you're pretty much there. After that, develop, develop, develop and this could become an awesome race which I may or may not be interested in using in a D&D campaign at some point if that would be alright with you.Archemetis said:
If you wanna use them in D&D then go ahead, I'd be honoured if someone wanted to roleplay one of these little guys. and yeah the leg's need work, I'll make sure to work on them when I do the fleshing out designs.Fightgarr said:
They're quite well-done. They're rather cute, and the coloration on the Warrior works quite well. I'm impressed.Archemetis said:

Why is I not in that picture? Am I not talkative enough on Twitter to be put into your artwork?RavingPenguin said:I finished a small cartoon thingy of a bunch of my twitter freinds.
*goes to cry*
I'm kidding. It's rather good, really. I especially like how you made Maxi a tiny little monster, with Sky about to hug him. Of course, SharPhoe would cower in fear, regardless of Maxi's size.
'tis my comic character. A comic which I've not even started.

World war three
It strikes again
And the world hires
Its young men
World war three is up and ready
Men stood in a line - their rifles steady
World war three, the men stood tall
World war three would be our fall
World war three, the men step forth
World war three is at your porch
World war three, join if you dare
Because in world war three, humanity doesn't care
World war three, don't you dare
Bullets fly fast through the air
World war three, I'll meet you there
World war three will bring dispair
The guns set off
the heads ducked low
the fingers on the triggers
All ready to go
The men stand up tall once again
recovered from the broken spirit of them
The bullets fly
The men will fall
All in all, All in all.
All will go missing
from the crack of a gun
Someones father
Someones son
It isn't much fun.
Atleast I can say I havn't lied
But can I say I havn't tried?
Frozen, scared. No where to hide.
The bullets fly
The men are slain
Bombs fly high
and end their pain
The guns set off
The shells are fired
One man lost
For one man hired
The men board on
to that devilish train
just to start off
this cycle again

Here's a current work in progress. It's a bear creature I'm calling an Ursadon (uncreative, I know). Anyway, those purple things on it's back are plates made of bone and cartilage, but are embedded with a type of valuable stone from the rocks in the caves it hibernates in. They are hunted extensively (as will be made clear later in the image when it should become more clear that it's running from and or at hunters).
I guess I'll throw these up too. More appropriate for this site anyhoo.

Hey, these guys are neat. They look like they'd be in one of those highly-stylized sort of comics, all black and white and slight variations thereof. I'm getting an image of a city of them with all kinds of archways and towers and stuff, but that might just be me.Archemetis said:
You are astonishingly good at drawing characters.
It may be actually called an Ursadon, but I'm thinking everyone who sees it will call it a rock bear.Fightgarr said:Here's a current work in progress.
