An awesome husband and wife duo - pals of my husband and I - have been developing their own game, <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Dragon-Named-Coal/603546953021148">A Dragon Named Coal</a> for their mutually-owned company, <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.facebook.com/clevercrowgames">Clever Crow Games</a>.
I'm super stoked at everything these two have accomplished so far, so
of course I couldn't resist creating a little art love for Coal himself.
Do check their efforts out if you get the chance!<br /><br />♥MMel B!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01559237418127414697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1689654171029261754.post-66156225850012791282015-03-10T13:12:00.001-07:002015-03-10T13:12:44.030-07:00TechMagi: Issue 3 Cover Art<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, my good buddy <a href="http://moonshineovercowsheds.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Kate NY</a> and I have dove headlong into writing a series called Homerunners. Draft one of the first book is officially in the bag, which is especially exciting. Unsurprisingly, a side-effect of two artists writing a story we both love is ART HAPPENS. Above is my gal Piper, one of our leading ladies, an apprenticing Homerunner. Below is a sassy Veteran Homerunner, Moira, one of Kate's lovely creations. The below portrait was my half of a recent art trade. You can check out Kate's half - a GORGEOUS rendition of my boy Fawkes - <a href="http://moonshineovercowsheds.tumblr.com/post/95746677495/finished-painting-of-fawkes-for-mel-thanks-for" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

'Toonstyle Happy and Chibs - two personal favorites from Sons of Anarchy. This was actually a warm-up artwork for a separate illustration that got completely out of hand - Wound up being a
fun exercise in FX/color/light. </div>

Also thought I'd share another warm-up: <span>Quick first attempts figuring out how to draw Charlie Hunnam’s face. Kudos on being seriously fun to sketch there, fella.</span></div>

The latest finalized model sheet from Garuda Rising: Vigil!<br />
<br />
<strong>Vigil</strong><span> = (</span><span><span>Species: </span><em>Thalsita</em>)
Tactics and Operations officer. Vigil is Tiago’s veritable right hand
when it comes to planning battle procedures and flight patterns and
keeping shields operational during confrontations with other ships. She
is quite the virtuoso when it comes to planning grounds operations
during high-risk trade negotiation, as wells. Vigil also handles flight
communications with other ships when Tiago is indisposed, and is in
charge of tracking ship operations overall, to assure all systems are
functioning at peak efficiency. No-nonsense and fiercely independent,
Vigil is one of the most respected members of the Garuda V crew. She
will accept nothing less.</span><br />

I’ve always had a pretty keen interest in comic book illustration. This
is the proof-of-concept first page for a graphic novel project to-be
whose concept I’ve been tinkering around with in my head for a good long
while now. Will be curious to see where it goes, as I’d love to bring
the story into its own.<br />

More from Garuda Rising. This time around - Ziima and Piquid.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ziima </strong>(Species: <em>Zulii</em>): It sucks to be Ziima
on a ship like the Garuda V. Surrounded by other kids her age whose
parents are always pushing them to learn how to be independent, capable
crew members, Ziima’s parents feel the need to shelter her from the
perils and level of responsibility that being an active crewman entails,
pushing her to dedicate her efforts to her study of science and
technology instead. For all of her sweet nature and adventurous
curiosity, Ziima feels held back, underutilized, and treated as though
she is the baby of the ship. (Not entirely inaccurate - at 12, she is
the youngest) She is quickly becoming the most rebellious of the Garuda V
teens as a result.<br />
<br />
<strong>Piquid </strong>(Species: <em>Grint</em>): Engineer,
specializing in Life Support Technology. Piquid’s clever grasp of and
adaptation to various foreign technologies, as well as his minute size,
have made him one of the most valued members of the crew. The dexterous
little Grint can climb up and shimmy his way into just about any nook or
cranny on all of the Garuda V to fix tech problems in malfunctioning or
damaged equipment. His quick thinking and adaptability has made him his
Chief Engineer’s top choice in assisting with the dismantling and usage
of foreign technology the group intends to sell or trade. Piquid’s
ability to move the swiftest in an anti-gravity environment and his full
understanding of the life support systems on the whole has also has
also made him the go-to fellow on board whenever the artificial gravity
emitters give out; A frequent occurrence, as the system became a bit
squirrely as soon as Gulthorian technology was added to it 8 years
prior.<br />
