Have done a couple of shippy art too, but I'm not sure how content of that nature is viewed upon in this community so I won't post unless asked.

awesome pictures thought they do seem cartooney but in an awesome way.

[Sinisdar Toste]

very nice sketches. i like that you've done moby, cuz i don't think we've gotten a very close look at bhok'aral'a in any of our residents artist's pieces. he looks really sweet, but i always pictured, and thought they were described, with round ears, not long, fox-bat like ones.

[alt146]

I like the work, especially Kalam. The only minor nitpicks would be that Cotillion is Dal Honese, so he should have much darker skin and that the bhok'aral'a are described as having apelike features. I'd love to see your take on Quick Ben if you don't know what to draw next

Thank you. I hate to pawn off a well used excuse, but I often have difficulty conveying some things in the style I draw in. Hopefully this doesn't detract from anyone's enjoyment of the art. This is actually one of the reasons why I held off for so long on posting here.

Thanks. I hadn't really recalled any specifics about them aside from them being ape-like, and I have to admit I was channelling Momo a little when I drew this.

Thanks! It took me a while to get the skin colour right, but I'm glad I did the research. I don't recall reading anywhere about Cotillion's origin, so I just went with what I thought felt right. (I double checked both wikis and it doesn't say. Don't want to read any further since I'm only on Deadhouse Gates)

Anyway, here's some things I did today...


Concepts for rhizan. I like them both equally for different reasons...


Fiddler and Moby (now with corrected round ears)


Kalam and Quick Ben in Darujhistan. Not sure where to go next from here, but it was a fun composition practice.


My headcanon Quick Ben. I know in most artworks and official art he is depicted as bald, but nowhere in the books is it mentioned that he is... so this is just my take.

*runs back into a hole*

Very cool. Like your style. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing talent you've got. I love the artwork and your take on various characters and creatures. You have a tremendous sense of motion as well.
If you're at all interested in contributing to the Malazan Card game that we have begun (www.cheekydingo.com) I would love to hear from you.

Ohh I'd love to! I'll send an email later, have to run off to class now.

And just so this isn't a shameless bump...


Oldish colour test I did for Ganoes on my iPad.


Togg finding Toc the Younger in the Chaos warren. It's inevitable, but I always stumble onto spoilers when looking up character descriptions. *sigh*

[worry]

It won't be inevitable if you finish the series already JEEZ LAZY.

[Kruppe's snacky cakes]

Nice! I hereby nominate you to draw the Malazan graphic novel. We'll pay you in rep...or cheeseburgers.

Whoops. Better clean this up.

If only... Dream job tbh.

Well I finished Deadhouse Gates on the weekend, and of course I had to draw some gut wrenching stuff.

Spoiler

[sappers rule]

awesome pictures they look like they should be in either a graphic novel or a cartoon series imagine that malazzan empire the cartoon
the art looks exactly like how you would picture a cartoon series and it would be epic good job

[Toraneko]

Finished with work for today, obvious answer is to draw more!


Kalam in Malaz City being saved by Minala. Deadhouse Gates was pretty much chock full of scenes that were like DRAW ME!!!

[Dolmen 2.0]

I really like the fact that you're so flexible with your style. You'd really make a great graphic novelist.

I'f I could I'd rep this entire thread. Please keep at it.

Thankee, sai. :'D

I'm in Memories of Ice now, and loving every second. Plus I finally got to read about a race I've been dying to draw since I heard about this series, the K'chain Chemalle!

Really busy with school crap now, but managed to doodle two K'ell hunters.

[Nocturnal]

Awww, your Kell hunters look cute, I just want to pet them.

What I think you mean to say is this is Malazan-ish Pokemon art.

Honestly, there must be people that appreciate this sort of thing , but I'm not one of them.

You clearly have talent - I just wish you would expend it in other ways, no offense

[Nocturnal]

But... the cutesy... I'm going to imagine them like this the next time they appear in the book. I couldn't manage a complete vision after reading the description in MoI, so I googled some art and found this. Needles to say, my reading experience had become way too scary.
