Here’s our pal Lucy from #Fallout . These are costume illustrations for how her Vault Suit ages through various plot points in her adventure. Not sure if she was ever swallowed and regurgitated by some slimy critter, but it was a possibility here. #FalloutOnPrime

Some more costume and character design for #Fallout . Thankfully they gave his ghoul version lips. In the design process, we needed to reinforce the sparkling smile link to his human state…so I just took his lips off. It looks like he’s smiling, right? #FalloutOnPrime

A couple of Maximus looks from #Fallout . You might notice some differences. I know one is that Maximus was initially going to be quite slim and scrappy. Not quite so athletic. He looks a bit more built on screen. #FalloutOnPrime

ARTISTS: I’d like a bit of help, please. I’m a pretty slow painter. Eventually the image comes out looking OK, but 60-80 hours each!?! What sort of digital painting workflows/techniques have you come across that has improved your images AND SPED UP your work time?

@MechaBarbarian I always loved the “short” sleeved jacket. It was likely tailored to fit, but almost looks like the Doctor bought/stole a 58regular at a shop to fit the shoulders/chest/back. The sleeves would easily fit a husky human, but not a titanic monster.

@WhittersRichard That’s exactly the background I gave my half orc “Hogk” ! I thought it seemed orc -ish enough without being vile. For my taste I kept them almost more like ape-folk. Maybe the more full orcs are similar but with heavier exaggerated features, teeth, ears, etc.

Illustrating for DnD is a fun challenge. I’m glad they are putting FAQs like this out. It’s kind of general, but it sort of has to be. I’m making art for them right now and they have definitely taken steps (under NDA so I can’t discuss) to weed out generative artificial slop.

Old old @FFGames project for their #LOTR card game. We needed to use just the descriptive passages from the book, and nothing from the films as inspiration. I liked painting this take on a very grounded #orc with his shady helmet. #fantasyart

@Andantonius HE was not paid that much, his studio was. He had several apprentices and assistants that would have been a part of the the process. All of these works would have been a collaborative studio effort. The pay would have also gone towards the hand crafted pigments and equipment.

@Master_eh I think in Icelandic folklore and adjacent regions, there were Dwarves that were secretive metal workers and magical craftsmen. Some more like trouble making elves/fairies, others almost like Demi-gods…..and generally concept art tends to be derivative and un-creative..oh well.

@Sunfwer_JiHu This rough two value study might help. But as an illustrator you don’t always have to obey natural light logic. Sometimes the drama and story dictate light and shadow placement. I adjusted eye direction too. Hope this seems helpful.

@Valansei Yeah, it’s not like I want to rush it, but if I’m comparing the dollar rates being offered, to the time I’m spending…sometimes it ends up being less than minimum wage. And no knock against making minimum, but it’d be great to get out to exercise and play with my kid too.

@DenmanRooke Sounds like a really cool idea! Thank you for putting this out there. The first (below) is an image I did for Fantasy Flight. It’s brief was just “a nightmare”, but I designed it to be like a version of “the hanged man”. Others are style/skill samples.

@EricDiaz_RPG This was a stick-with-me-for-years kind of image. Saw it and eventually found the book. The interior art is really fun too, but Brom…hooked me.

@FrothyFriar Walking through areas like this as a kid, I would always pretend like I was in a Star Wars/Trek scene.

@jdebbiel I haven’t been offered any Magic cards yet, but I’ve recently been doing more work for DnD. Initially back in 2008ish I sent work to their old art drop email. I actually was offered some work soon after that. One of the samples I made included a mindflayer. (cont’d)

The heat…not as bad as it could be but oof. •Image from awhile back for @fantasyflightgames and their #arkhamhorror expansion The Scarlet Keys. Pushing towards surreal is always something I try for with these sets. #horrorart #hplovecraft #cosmichorror #fantasyart #magic

This portrait was part of an assignment for the Governor’s Ball (a post Oscars event) back in 2016. A group of us were to illustrate celebrity portraits in the style of Al Hirschfeld. Harryhausen was one of mine. I enjoyed celebrating his magic. Forever a huge inspiration to me.

Ray Harryhausen passed away on this day eleven years ago. Let’s take a moment to remember this great man, and reflect on the incredible legacy that he left behind. #RayHarryhausen

@JameelaWahlgren Having a review (ages ago) from a wizards AD letting me know how they enjoyed the moods and figures in my work, while I still needed to work on composition and creating textural variety was sooooo helpful in getting my practice sessions focused.

This is why I’m not a big swimmer. I drew this for #dungeonsanddragons and #phandelverandbelow awhile back with AD Bree Heiss. #ttrpg #fantasyart #dnd5e #monsters #purpleworm #wotc

@Rwaluchow @MadameDM_DND Neat! I didn’t know this critter was a thing when I drew this ages ago. Good to know there are other weirdos out there.

@CaraidArt Thank you! Confirming that sort of pacing and pricing for fantasy work helps a ton. I constantly think that I’m moving too slow, or just not good enough. This info will really help my students too.

Done awhile back for @FFGames and their #ArkhamHorrorLCG expansion The Scarlet Keys. It was fun getting this painting to suit the card framing and further the narrative of a safe little soul being eyed for something’s cosmic lunch. #horror #hplovecraft #cosmichorror #fantasyart
