Dragonsfoot Magazine Adventures--Call Out

An example I made today showing my daughter the difference between how I always used to draw faces (left) focusing on "lines", and instead focusing on the underlying 3D forms and then shading (right). Lines as shadows, not containers.

Funny thing was, when I went to take a picture of it with my phone, it was the left one the facial-recognition software grabbed for focus.

Also, using the "lines" method, eye have no sockets and noses are a PITA (a common stumbling-block I witness in OSR art).
Not so much anymore! ...assuming you think the right-hand one is better.

No joke. Every face I ever tried to draw before ended up looking similar to the one on the left. It's been liberating breaking that mold.

I scribbled in the surfer-necklace and GIMP-fuzzy background because the right-dude was giving me a serious Teen-Angst-Beach-Flick vibe.
(Jerk-face looks like he's pretty full of himself, too. Wouldn't seem so smug if he realized he has no nipples. Put a shirt on, bro!)

A concept sketch for what a Merrow (Aquatic Ogre, MM2) might look like for an upcoming K&KA product.
This is as far as I'm taking it, and the anatomy is weak, but I thought it might be worth a post.
My next iteration (if there is one) will be a slightly altered appearance.

can you get paid to listen to music
 
Man, I love music, but I really wish there was a way I could earn money just by listening to it and without investment. Oh well, I guess there's no real solution out there.
 
I drew this one a few months ago for my campaign book. It was suppose to be a Mirror of Opposition floating near a dead-end in the Maze of the Phase Minotaur....but as Malrex pointed out---it just looks like it's a window in a castle wall---so it's probably going to get redrawn.

Regardless, it was a fun experiment in dynamic lighting range, and I was particularly pleased with the way the dungeon walls came out. (Wish I could remember how I did them!)

On the downside, the dude is not well balance and his stance is boring---I've been focusing on that a bit since then.

To be honest, I've been too busy to keep up with my practice-sketching regiment for over a month now. :(
(Miss it---probably why I'm posting...)

This one was a morning hack...I wasn't terribly careful with the figures and was going to stop after about 5 minutes...but once I started getting the dynamic lighting on the Giant's face---I just couldn't stop shading. I also couldn't resist boosting contrast in GIMP after the photo/scan for a B&W horror movie effect.

FWIW

Poor guy's looking straight at the giant's hammer, and doesn't seem to see the giant's hammer.
 
Just noticed that too! A minor adjustment has been made...for a slightly more vertical glaze.

Honestly, I never decided if this was just your stereo-typical eunuch Stone Golem...

...or a Cloud Giant, who has decided to embrace his inner hippy-nudist (surprises on 5 in 6?).
