Nicholas Kole – AKA Homarusrex – works in a quirky style I enjoy. I especially like his use of color. Enjoy.
No post yesterday – I was tracking a big property auction here in Nevada – so I’m making up for it today with a few posts. We start with Deviant Friday, this one highlighting Hito76. When I was in junior high (Go Cannon Cardinals!), it came down that we were going to have to read Cyrano de Bergerac (and watch the movie) in English class. At the time, I was very into AD&D – heck, a friend who sat in front of me in class would prop open his briefcase (yes, every geek stereotype in the book) and work on dungeons) – but I was not into the whole feathered hats and thin swords thing. Not at all. And then, thankfully, I delved into the play, watched the movie, and discovered an immense love for feathered hats, thin swords, poetry and swagger deep inside me. Had I seen the art of Hito, I wouldn’t have waited so long. Enjoy – and a couple are probably NSFW, so beware!
Julie Collins, AKA HeadFullofIvy, is another one of those quirky artists I’d like to see illustrate a RPG book – you know, hand them a copy of Swords and Wizardry and just say – intrepret this thing for me in 10 illustrations. Anyhow – enjoy the artwork …
Way too much fun at the golf tournament yesterday. Enjoy some art from Harvey Tolibao …
I am an unabashed fan of Gureiduson – love the sense of fun and wonder in this style and the attention to detail. When I eventually write hex crawls set in Hybresail, his images will be at the forefront of my mind. Enjoy.
First a warning. If pseudo manga-inspired drawing causes you some manner of existential pain, look away, my friend, look away.
Sanford Greene – Greenestreet on DeviantArt – helps me overcome my own recent lack of interest in all things manga/anime. Honestly, much of the work I see in that style strikes me as formulaic, but I think with the best of the artists that work in that style, craft overcomes style. I like Greene’s craft – dynamic, bright and fun. Enjoy!
Enjoy some pieces by Lizzy John – GraySapphire! A few of these beasties possess a decidedly Lovecraftian creepiness – excellent fodder for monster stats!
Grantgoboom is your one stop shop for geek nostalgia, as well as items for the modern geek. Though mostly movie tie-in material, he also has a neat project called “The Wolves of Odin”. Check it out!
Gingashi calls himself nomad on DA, so I have to assume he is a deep space probe that was modified by alien technology and is now out to destroy the Enterprise. I have to assume this because I’m a geek. Gingashi has a nice, clean style – great lines, nothing overdone. Enjoy …
