Art draft

If you've worked on a set previously, you make take as many pieces on you want, on a first come, first served basis. Just fill in your name on the spreadsheet in any block that says "unclaimed".

IF YOU HAVE NOT WORKED ON RAGE BEFORE please take only ONE card. If you finish your first card before the due date, you can take a second one. You must have talked to me via e-mail before you can be confirmed for a piece. (this is so I can confirm I have correct email) Please note that most pieces marked character are actually TWO pieces. (they're a different color on the spreadsheet) You can take these as your assignment, However, you choose a doublesided character, you are agreeing to do both pieces.

If you need more details on a piece, want a sample card plate to look at, need reference material, or are done and need to send it in, get ahold of me at fenris_lorsrai***@***yahoo.com (take out the *s. Please put Rage in the title of your email so I can spot it quickly. I usually don't answer mail on Sunday afternoon or on Monday. That's my weekend)

Due Date: FRIDAY MAY 11th.
(there is a little wiggle room if you need an extra day or two, but that's the date I'll start sending you notes asking for art)

If you claim something and then think you won't finish on time, tell me sooner rather than later! Then we can reassign the piece!

ART SIZES!
Character 6CM tall X 5.2CM wide
Creature 5X5 CM
Standard 4CM tall X 5CM wide
Tall 7.2CM Tall X 2.4 wide
Landscape 2.4CM tall X 7.2CM wide
I expect you to work larger than this. Just keep the ratios. 2-3 times size is good for most mediums. Watercolor should be 2X or less. If you work really blocky or are speedpainting, you can work at more than 3X with some mediums.


KEEP IN MIND.... almost all the character require TWO pieces of art to be completed. So if you pick a character you must do both halves!

Also note: Unless otherwise specified in description that all humans are assumed to be African or Middle Eastern!

after all the idiocy Tuesday, today I came in to find someone had hit my garden wall. AGAIN. Look people, its about a foot tall. Its cinder block. It's 10 feet long. Its on the other side of the sidewalk. It's pretty damn obvious. When you turn into the driveway, its not in the driveway, its NEXT to the driveway, by the section of sidewalk that has a raised curb. So when you're turning in, you HAVE to drive up over the curb to be able to hit the wall!

Whoever hit it this time hit it with sufficient force to break the top block AND to flip the one on the bottom end over end so it was lying in driveway upside down. There was a gouge the whole length of the block, probably from the vehicle's undercarriage.

I've never mortared the front wall since the plow hits it every few years and chipping out mortar is a pain in the ass. I expect the edge to get clipped when its buried under a couple feet of snow. IT'S PLAINLY VISIBLE RIGHT NOW. WTF PEOPLE.

I rearranged the end of the wall so its now got a half hex rather than a corner. (since I'm now missing a block...) Maybe this will deter people from driving up over the curb and across the sidewalk to hit it.

Probably not.

Partially painted Rawhead. Just the base colors right now.

working on plating all the Rage stuff.


In other news, I'm waiting for a head on collision to happen in front of store any second now. Highway department dug hole at the intersection here and then left a single hazard barrel on top of it. I just watched an SUV hit it head on and drag it down the road. I went out and put barrel back. However the cars are currently breaking to BOTH sides of the barrel... which is taking half the traffic over the center line into oncoming traffic.

and just saw a sedan miss plowing it by about an inch. Stopped short. giant orange bareel, where's that come from!

WAY TO GO THERE.

I just called public works to bring out a a REAL barrier. There's a guy standing with the barrel right now, trying to figure out how to fix it. He moved it over a little to make it clear not to go around it into the other lane, but this will surely end stupidly.

The skeleton of a pig, the fangs of a panther, the paws of a bear, the tail of a raccoon, the overalls of a douchebag, it’S RAWHEAD AND BLOODY BONES!

Almost done with sculpting, I just need to do overalls front pocket, tidy up the paw a little, and do the back straps portion of the overalls.


I'm slogging along on the Rage art draft. In cleaning up, I realized I should just do the Dreamcourt Guardian. The spec for this thing is a pair of feet... with teeth. I have this spare pair of feet I hacked off another sculpture (eohippus) that have been sitting in bits box for ages, trying to figure out what to do with them. I'll just add some teeth! completely cracktackular art done!

So apparently May is Severed Body Part month.


I also have at least four pieces to color. Someone else does all the sketching and inking, I just color. I *THINK* I will get away with no having to do any character portraits. I think. I'll be coloring some, but no sketching. YEAH.

what in the heck did I jsut watch?

armpit rockets, anatomical models riding motorcycles, angry bunnies!

OH JAPAN.

Finished Relshab the Faceless Eater:

full size version
so far, have avoided the expected murry purry comments on FA.

Now relevant to world_dancer's interests:
Time travelling dinosaurs save the world with really big guns.

The avengers as baby seals

In case you missed it, art draft for next Rage set here

I finished one of the pieces I needed to do, the Apophis Pipeline (larger on screen than it will be in PDF)


and I did the sketch for Relshab the Faceless Eater

I figured the odds of actually finding stock art of that were about zero, so gave up and took it myself. I expect once I finish and upload it on FA, I will get a bunch of murry-purry comments about it.

Sunday it was in the high 60s, low 70s. as it had been for a week. Today it was EIGHTY SEVEN.

we've also been having red flag warnings for last week or so for FIRE. WTF. CT is not known for wildfires at all. we generally send all our fire crews out west to train on their wildfires because we have them so infrequently they get zero practice here. The rare ones we do have are in summer and generally fairly small. they race along a draw and then dry out as they can't crest ridge.

It's been deadly dry here. We were buried under snow with the October storm... and then had about 2" the rest of the winter. There was no snowpack to melt off. Rainfall's been average, but no snow means everything pretty dry.

Somehow we seem to have gotten California's weather. I do not like it. TAKE IT BACK.

Moral of the story: don’t steal your neighbors magical talking pig or it will end with homicidal cosplay.

still to do: finish lower jaw, refine shoulders, sculpt tear in overalls back for tail to emerge, bear paws, final positioning ofa the severed head, and add the overall straps. Overalls are last as I need to have shoulders to put them over first.

It's contagious!


I have no idea if they can keep up the satire for the whole film, but the trailer does a great job.
