Artwork Contributions Thread

Suggestion: Every artist who wants to draw Hordling or Night Hag characters can look in the according new threads for individual characters, and post their artwork here.
Of course, it's left to the writer to decide whether the artwork fits his imagination of the character, but I'm pretty sure no cool picture will be left unused

I wish I didn't suck at art. Oh, and will the final art be black & white? You know... as in Grayscale?

Oh I have many hordling designs sketch in my folio. I'll take the time to do them properly and post em up as soon as someone tell me how to post images.

Drawing hordlings is the best fun! Its like you just jazz a bit this or that, spikes, teeth or claws and then add a terrifying looking face and creepy think body or a huge muscular one or a grotesquely fat one and it all looks totally creepy. Everyone whos seen em so far thinks they look great.
I'm no artist but I try to do a good job.

What if there would be female Hordlings?

Well If someone can tell me how to post things on the net I'd be much appreciated. And I'd be able to show you some of my creations. As soon as i redo some of them to be on a solitary page.

Cool that'll help a lot I imagine. I've also started on a few female hordling designs. But they're in their verry early stages. Hangover + 5 hours sleep + worlds shittest performance class = - creativity

*lol*

There's pretty sure some hordlings like THAT, too.

Everybody, I'm a bit out of time right now, but keep going with your discussion - I'll go through all of it as soon as there's a bit less to do...

That style works delightfully well for the gray sisters. I absolutely love the look--especially the second one. I imagine this style would be perfect for hordlings, too.

@Tiefling: Thanks.

Yes, that is the idea: to put litle pics of hags (in hag chapter) and hordelings (in hordling chapter) and incoporate with page numbers. Truth is: those gems in D&D books start to bore me so why don we have something more original.

In coloring I mix several tehniques: I use primarly water colors and wooden pencils in color, sometimes I even use colored markers and water colors in pencils. As of black ink: I use either black marker + ink or just black marker.
But here is litle trick wich Duster showed me: when editing picture in photoshop: first he turn the picture grayscale, than it turn it back in b/w and finaly it turns it in autocontrast. (I think that is procedure but I will ask him for details).

And (dark) humor and whackynes was, is, and allways will be part of Planescape, so that was my primary inspirtion for that one: take clasic iconic moment from Wizard of Oz (Falling house on Wicked Wich of East) and turn it Planescape style.

"What´s night hag´s two greatest fears: falling houses and buckets of water" -Planar joke that few understand.

EDIT: Scans are in res 300.

Here are some more crones by Ibn Squaff, I mean they are hags:

Philip, I mean Squaff (oops) started drawing and painting a bit too big pictures for my scanner lately.

So I have a bit of a problem while merging the pictures, because the lightning is always different(so I have to align the color) and I gotta rotate pics to get a perfect angle (by 0.1 degree at a time).

For that I'm sorry, because it comes out a bit different and the uploading is delayed.

Arstist comment:
It took me long time but Greae (wich means gray sisters) are finaly finished. Originaly joyblood wanted hag that was driving larve with whip and eating pixie sandwich, but since Tony Diterlizzi already did something simmilar I decided to split that idea in three segmets and use them with Greae sisters from greek mythology: One sister (with eye) drives larve with staff, other sister (one with toth) eats pixie sandwich, and the third is in the middle, blind and hungry but enjoying with the rest of her sisters.

Now that I think of it, this was pretty simple picture but the most fun part (and difficult) was designing faces of hags and larve.
