I love that I just came across this! GREAT work! We just bought this book about a month back! (And the thing that initially drew me to it was the art. I almost didn't even care what was *inside* the book because the art really, really struck me.

YESSSSSS.

Really great character .

Odrobinka [2012-11-21 08:12:46 +0000 UTC]

She looks like my type of female character - tough but still feminine. And fully dressed
And that it's traditional piece makes it even more awesome. There's just never enough good traditional works.
On the other hand I can wish and hope I will someday achieve at last a bit close to Your skills in digital media but for traditional I can't even dream...
Great work.

Oh ouch! There are so many ways that chain maille would hurt. Goodbye to all the skin on your upper-arms and shoulders! Hello to pain all down your right side from having to carry the weight of the chain too.

Gah, I'm annoyed.
My library only has the first one. TT^TT I really want to read the others. What are they called, since I don't actually know. It is a trilogy, right?

Black Blade Blues
Honeyed Words
Forged in Fire

All with amazing covers by Dan.

It's actually an ongoing series. I'm working on book 4 at the moment.

Best of luck

I like the detailed work on the girl, scraces and especially the rim light

I'm confused. I thought this piece as well as the one from Serenity had been here for some time, but their upload date is today ._____.

DSillustration In reply to ElJore [2012-11-21 00:27:24 +0000 UTC]

I had thought I uploaded them already too, but I double checked and couldn't find it. Perhaps we are both confusing it with another website, like CGHub or something?

ElJore In reply to DSillustration [2012-11-22 04:34:01 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, that's why I was thinking "Maybe it was in CGHub" but anyways, your work is amazing and very inspiring, thank you for sharing.
