Fir Castle was
another early production of mine, made special at the time by using map colors
to shade it in. Next is The Old Fountain, an early exercise in layering.
Before that, most of my efforts were straight line-ups along the red margins of
the notebook paper. Inkraven looks pretty good, until you realize he has
three claws, a feature not in the original sketch. I'd probably make the potion red next time. Monastary expresses
the rain better than I ever could and elaborates the tiny stick figure I had
climbing the hill into a real character. Morg City was an early
expression of the capital of Forlan; the original was drawn in ink without a
smudge. I now have a more complex idea of it in my head. It features what
appears to be the King Vez Memorial Rollercoaster. Lastly is another shot at Elf
& Bear, from an admittedly rather sketchy sketch. A lesson on giving
explicit notes in your prompt; Bear was strangely (though perhaps not inexplicably)
interpreted as a polar bear, perhaps taking a hint from his muffler. The Elf
should be wearing all blue, and is oddly proportioned.
Maybe I should upgrade my
account to $20 a month. That would make corrections a more affordable endeavor
in terms of time; as it is, I’m lucky if I can do 6 or 7 images a night.
