L5R - Scorn the Weak

Another illustration I did for the Legend of the Five Rings set "Shadow's Embrace", I still like this one a lot, I've done a few better now though.

Here's the card, maybe someone can tell me if it's a good one.

L5R - Serenity in Air

Time for some L5R cards again, my gallery is filled with L5R work, I think I'll need a page just for this card game.

Seeing these illustrations again I see that I was going through a phase were everything was supposed to have texture and show the brushstroke, I really don't know what I was thinking, oh well, they came up good anyway, even if I'd do some things differently now.

Here's the card, I'd really like to know if any of these cards are good.

June 25 Tonal Practice

New tonal practice, this time I drew Brian Johnson, lead singer of ACDC, I think this one was a good improvement on the other two, I used the color of the paper as halftone, which I guess is the whole point.

Pitt pencils and charcoal on toned paper.

June 22 Tonal Practice

Another tonal practica, I really like making these ones.

Pacquiao is one of my favorite boxers, and it's a good way to practice anatomy too.

Frontlines Illustration

This is a recent cover I made for a client. I did made some changes to it after finishing it because I had a different idea in mind from what the client asked for, so I ended up with two versions.

I seldom get to create scenes with a wider angle, I think Easy Paint Tool SAI is better for that kind of work than ArtRage, so I switched programs this time.

It's also the first time I work with a perspective grid, it was very useful to create the building and everything in the scene correctly, I'll try to use it more from now on.
