Thank you so much, I feel honoured

great work! i feel like i just surprised her

Thank you!
Oh yes, you should retreat now very slowly with raised hands. And pray.


Ok, guys, its's official: I'm obsessed...

Some jaghut-pinup-fanservice for you
I wanted some action and here it goes.
Changed the tusks too, my roommate liked the bigger ones better. I gave it a try and: I like them too

I took some artistic liberties: I changed the leather skirt into a loincloth and left away the dagger sheaths. I thought these things would obscure the view *wink wink*

Your back in the nipple competition

But to be honest, the surprised pose is still my favorite.

Still this one has some things too and I don't even mean the obvious two things [img]http://forum.malazanempire.com/public/style_emoticons/default/:).gif[/img]

gosh that face is just... perfect, captures the bestial essence and then some

I wonder if he's going to make any comments on their body structure?

Except for the faces these Jaghut look distinctly human. I wonder if perhaps there was any difference in the way their bodies looked. We know for example that their ... thumbs? Are multi jointed.

Yay for nipples!

To be honest myself, I like the surprised one better, too. The colours are warmer and somehow more natural, it's not so comic-like.
As I said, the charging huntress is more fanservice-pinup and for fun, mostly for my fun .
But I'm still very happy with her, I can see with every pic that I get faster and better producing digital art. I got my tablet for christmas and now I'm unstopable, harr harr! XD

Aww, thanks!!! <3 I'm so glad that you like it!
I'm very happy that I gave the bigger tusks a chance. Plus I really wanted to get it right. That some of the other artists kind of hid the face under the hair gave me the extra motivation to come up with a beautiful bestial jaghut face.
(you can't imagine how often I draw and deleted and redraw the mouth )

Oh, um, I missed this thumb-thing somehow... Do you know where this is said? I'm at the Bonehunters.

But I'd LOOOOOOOOVE to get a comment on the body structure!!! Any comment!

[Dolmen 2.0]

Wow. Totally overlooked the finger thing. But then again so did the artist that did raest so i think we are all safe on this one lol.

@mimo. Nice work on the action pose. I think just as an aside u seem to
have taken out the fetishes i saw in your 1st version. Personaly i love
that little extra u gave the character

Thanks, Dolmen!

Mmh, I took out the fetishes to minimalise the artistic liberties (oh yes, I admit, I wanted to please SE with accuracy )
But I could update now that the entries are out and away.

btw: I think we concentrated too hard on the huntress-quote. Perhaps this finger-thing would have come to our minds if we had made a random jaghut-pic. But if it's just said once, there is a chance that SE himself has forgotten about it XD.

[Malaclypse]

Deepest apologies for not dealing with this sooner. Spent a week with SE and have had other things on my mind.

First, Steve wants it to be clear that he has judged based on 'closeness of vision' rather than artistic merit, ie., closeness in terms of how he views the character and species.

On this basis, Spindrift's submission is the closest in terms of physique and Corporal Nobbs conveys the sense of menace best, so we have joint winners! He also noted that the skin colour of both of the winning entries could be darker if either of our winners care to refine their efforts further.

As time was short, I had SE sign the books using your forum names, hope this is acceptable

Once again, thanks very much to all who participated in this contest and keep up the good work!

@Spindrift: could you PM your address details to Hetan so we can send you your book.

[bubba]

Rigged!!! Rigged I say!!!!!

[Gothos]

The Anorectics of Wu?
Pity, but hey, grats to the winners!

[Dolmen 2.0]

congrats corp and spin, well done

[MiMo]

congrats to the winners!

I'd really like to know which of spindrifts versions was considered to be closest in terms of physique. Since there where quite some mix and match-pics, it would be great to get closer to "the real thing" for my own work.

Mmh, I guess it would be too much to ask for EVERY SINGLE COMMENT Steven Erikson made about EVERY SINGLE PICTURE. *hops around in hysterics*
But it would be great anyways. *hophop*

[Spindrift]

cool. congrats nobbs.
I'm glad I managed to finish this in time, since soon after I became way too busy to do any more of this kind of art Will hopefully get time to do more next month maybe.

[Corporal Nobbs]

YES YES YES!!!!
Now before I launch into a raucous and off-key version of 'We are the champions' I'd like to thank Steve and Mal
and congratulate Spin and everyone else who entered.

...We are the champions, Weeee ARRRREEE TH CHAAAAMMMMPPPPIIIIOOOONNNNNNNNNSSSS.....

[Hetan]

I will send you two a pm when I've gotten round to posting the books. Hopefully I'll get them off in the next couple of days.

[Knight of the Night]

Does anyone make a Jaghut porn?

[Sinisdar Toste]

emmmm.... well there's some tasteful nudity in this thread but as far as i know thats as lewd as it's gotten
