I think this picture inspires me to make a whole series based on Sword & Sorcery. I really love the genre, but I need to read more books in it.

Aw thanks. Well... There's no way I can say this without sounding like a commercial for my own products... But this illustration WAS done as a cover for a "how-to" book on the subject. Which you can purchase at a bookstore, or on Amazon, or on the Store Page of my website. Just go here: [link] ...and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

*Very* Nice.
Am I a bad person because the thought going through my mind is "Go Minotaur, chop 'em in half!"

Haha, no that's not bad, I was always a fan of the monsters more than the heroes, too!

Saw the original line art. This makes it look even better!!
I like the blue tint, i assume that its an effect from the wizard-lady's magic glowing in her hand?
"its so dark in here, add some light please"
*makes hand glow*
"what the ..?? QUICK turn it off TURN IT OFF"

Wow, you are probably the first person who has ever said they like a colored version of my art better than the black and white version! Thanks! And yes, the blue tint is supposed to be eminating from her hand.

I prefer line art, the old b/w.
But sometimes a piece needs that extra bit, i mean when i saw the original i imagined it to be in a dungeon where the fires on he walls made enough light, but i mean what you did then made it look completely different!! And when an artist does that to a piece without "breaking" it, then i can do no other than agrree the new art is better!

I like this one because the monsters have a "noble" presence, like they are not just the run of the mill nasties, but are leaders of the clan, with the bottom feeders in the background. Or maybe im just full of crap. Anyway, great pic.... will be looking out for more of your zombie pics too.. they are the best on the net.

Thank you so much for taking the time to say all that stuff. A very thoughtful insight and a wonderful compliment. It's remarks like this that keep me chugging along. And by the way... the zombies are coming soon.

I can't take it anymore, my brain hurts how do you come up with this stuff!!!!! This is awesome, I like how you did the blue tint with with shades of green in this!!!

Thanks, Matt! I'm glad you like the colored version. I had an idea the blue lighting would be the thing that would really sell it.

Beautifully illustrated. The colors really give an already great image a lot of extra punch. Great job as always

Thanks, man! I'm just glad it came out okay.

Very nice. Although I think I kight like the black and white one better...

So do I. Unfortunately, Black and White art never sells as good as Color.

off the hook yo! great job! I would like to see how they will get out of this one!

I really love the Harryhausenesque cyclops... my only critique is the shading on the edges of the swords make them look kinda dull like they've got no cutting edge. still cool all around but that one little thing....

That's funny, what you dislike about it is exactly the look I was after! Whenever I draw swords, axes, or other sharp weapons, I like to make them look like they've been used to batter and cleave so many victims' bodies, bones, and skulls, that by now they are all worn down and blunt. But their owners (whether a Barbarian in a fantasy piece or a psycho killer in a horror piece) are so crazy that they just keep on usin' 'em anyway! I don't know, to me it just seems like getting chopped by a blunt blade would hurt a lot worse, be a lot messier, and take a lot longer to sever the flesh and muscle tissues than a perfectly clean, sharp blade that could slit you in two and kill you in three seconds flat.

well I never said I didn't like it just that I thought it looked odd.... your explanation tho was extremely well thought out. you are deffinatly a sickie... now go draw someone using the blade part of one of those paper guillotines they used to have at school to hack something apart. they'd make great improvised weapons.
and again awesome drawing.

Your art is beautiful! This is one is indeed amazing!

Thanks, Zage. Yeah, I had a lot of fun coloring this one. I think it could probably still use another half hour of tinkering to get it just right, but for now I basically consider it done. I will probably go back into it and tidy it up later this week and then re-post it, just to finish her off.

damn now thats what i call outnumbered this would be the appropriate moment for the mage to pretend she was on the monsters side all along
