Art for games

[Mailanka]

I finally got permission for a player of mine to post her art. Drawing's been a hobby of hers for year, and I push her to show off more of what she can do, but she's shy.

She does everything in pencil, and then colors in marker.

It's a very nice, very cute, anime style. She's very good.

Let her know from me her work is nice and does the job. Especially liked the tiny wingless dragon; very neat idea, and much like old illustrations of things like the Lambton Wyrm.

She has nothing to be shy about when it comes to her drawings.

I used to draw characters, but I've graduated to photo manipulation over the last few years. Here's an example.

Interesting and amusing!

Been busy, summer sucks at work.

On the other hand, here's a battle for inspiration for my CthulhuTech and Bliss Stage game idea.

Unfortunately, I'm not much of an artist at all. The links below lead to a few of my favorite works of art from various books, games, and etc.

@ Mailanka - I like the artwork

@ Giger - That's actually pretty cool. What program do you use?

Adobe Photoshop CS3, currently.

Actually right now, we have a large flat-screen TV/computer monitor where we play, and I'm doing a lot of quickie photo-manipulations as illustrations for the game, via PowerPoint—scenes, settings, characters, races, etc. I pull images off the web for these purposes, or take screenshots from DVDs or games I have available. (I'm loving Lord of the Rings Online right now, for those purposes—lots of good screen shots on the web.)
